Unwritten extents by definition have not been written to until they are converted to normal written extents. If unwritten extents are freed from a file, it is therefore guaranteed that the blocks have not been written to since allocation (note that zero range punches and reallocates blocks). To cut down on online discards generated from workloads that make use of preallocation, skip discards of extents if they are in the unwritten state when the extent is freed. Note that this optimization does not apply to log recovery, during which all freed extents are discarded if online discard is enabled. Also note that it may be possible for a filesystem crash to occur after write completion of an unwritten extent but before unwritten conversion such that the extent remains unwritten after log recovery. Since this pseudo-inconsistency may already be possible after a crash (consider writing to recently allocated blocks where the allocation transaction is lost after a crash), this change shouldn't introduce any fundamental limitations that don't already exist. In short, on storage stacks where discards are important, it's good practice to run an occasional fstrim even with online discard enabled in the filesystem, particularly after a crash. Signed-off-by:

We've had reports of online discard operations being sent from XFS on write-only workloads. These discards occur as a result of eofblocks trims that can occur after a large file copy completes. These discards are slightly confusing for users who might be paying close attention to online discards (i.e., vdo) due to performance sensitivity. They also happen to be spurious because freed post-eof blocks by definition have not been written to during the current allocation cycle. Update xfs_free_eofblocks() to skip discards that are purely attributed to eofblocks trims. This cuts down the number of spurious discards that may occur on write-only workloads due to normal preallocation activity. Note that discards of post-eof extents can still occur from other codepaths that do not isolate handling of post-eof blocks from those within eof. For example, file unlinks and truncates may still cause discards for any file blocks affected by the operation. Signed-off-by:

Freed extents are unconditionally discarded when online discard is enabled. Define XFS_BMAPI_NODISCARD to allow callers to bypass discards when unnecessary. For example, this will be useful for eofblocks trimming. This patch does not change behavior. Signed-off-by:

It's just a connector between a transaction and a log item. There's a 1:1 relationship between a log item descriptor and a log item, and a 1:1 relationship between a log item descriptor and a transaction. Both relationships are created and terminated at the same time, so why do we even have the descriptor? Replace it with a specific list_head in the log item and a new log item dirtied flag to replace the XFS_LID_DIRTY flag. Signed-Off-By:

xfs_inactive_symlink_rmt() does something nasty - it joins an inode into a transaction it is already joined to. This means the inode can have multiple log item descriptors attached to the transaction for it. This breaks teh 1:1 mapping that is supposed to exist between the log item and log item descriptor. This results in the log item being processed twice during transaction commit and CIL formatting, and there are lots of other potential issues tha arise from double processing of log items in the transaction commit state machine. In this case, the inode is already held by the rolling transaction returned from xfs_defer_finish(), so there's no need to join it again. Signed-Off-By:

Been hitting AIL ordering assert failures recently, but been unable to trace them down because the system immediately hangs up onteh spinlock that was held when this assert fires: XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_LSN_CMP(prev_lip->li_lsn, lip->li_lsn) <= 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans_ail.c, line: 52 Move the assertions outside of the spinlock so the corpse can be dissected.

The log item flags contain a field that is protected by the AIL lock - the XFS_LI_IN_AIL flag. We use non-atomic RMW operations to set and clear these flags, but most of the updates and checks are not done with the AIL lock held and so are susceptible to update races. Fix this by changing the log item flags to use atomic bitops rather than be reliant on the AIL lock for update serialisation. Signed-Off-By:

Don't panic() the system if the bmap records are garbage, just call ASSERT which gives us the same backtrace but enables developers to control if the system goes down or not. This makes debugging with generic/388 much easier because it won't reboot the machine midway through a run just because btree_read_bufl returns EIO when the fs has already shut down. Signed-off-by:

Inode allocation can require block allocation for physical inode chunk allocation, inode btree record insertion, and/or directory block allocation for entry insertion. Any of these block allocation requests can require AGFL fixups prior to the actual allocation. Update the common file creation transacions to defer AGFL frees from these contexts to avoid too much log reservation consumption per-transaction. Since these transactions are already passed down through the btree cursors and da_args structure, this simply requires to attach dfops to the transaction. Note that this covers tr_create, tr_mkdir and tr_symlink. Other transactions such as tr_create_tmpfile do not already make use of deferred operations and so are left alone for the time being.

XFS inode chunks are already freed via deferred operations (which now also defer AGFL block frees), but inode btree blocks are freed directly in the associated context. This has been known to lead to log reservation overruns in particular workloads where an inobt block free may require several AGFL block frees (and thus several allocation btree modifications) before the inobt block itself is actually freed. To avoid this problem, defer the frees of any AGFL blocks before the inobt block free takes place. This requires passing the dfops from xfs_inactive_ifree() down through the inobt ->[alloc|free]_block() callouts, which essentially only requires to attach the dfops to the transaction since it is already carried all the way through to the inobt update and allocation.

Now that AGFL block frees are deferred when dfops is set in the transaction, start deferring AGFL block frees from contexts that are known to push the limits of existing log reservations. The first such context is deferred operation processing itself. This primarily targets deferred extent frees (such as file extents and inode chunks), but in doing so covers all allocation operations that occur in deferred operation processing context. Update xfs_defer_finish() to set and reset ->t_agfl_dfops across the processing sequence. This means that any AGFL block frees due to allocation events result in the addition of new EFIs to the dfops rather than being processed immediately. xfs_defer_finish() rolls the transaction at least once more to process the frees of the AGFL blocks back to the allocation btrees and returns once the AGFL is rectified.

The AGFL fixup code executes before every block allocation/free and rectifies the AGFL based on the current, dynamic allocation requirements of the fs. The AGFL must hold a minimum number of blocks to satisfy a worst case split of the free space btrees caused by the impending allocation operation. The AGFL is also updated to maintain the implicit requirement for a minimum number of free slots to satisfy a worst case join of the free space btrees. Since the AGFL caches individual blocks, AGFL reduction typically involves multiple, single block frees. We've had reports of transaction overrun problems during certain workloads that boil down to AGFL reduction freeing multiple blocks and consuming more space in the log than was reserved for the transaction. Since the objective of freeing AGFL blocks is to ensure free AGFL free slots are available for the upcoming allocation, one way to address this problem is to release surplus blocks from the AGFL immediately but defer the free of those blocks (similar to how file-mapped blocks are unmapped from the file in one transaction and freed via a deferred operation) until the transaction is rolled. This turns AGFL reduction into an operation with predictable log reservation consumption. Add the capability to defer AGFL block frees when a deferred ops list is available to the AGFL fixup code. Add a dfops pointer to the transaction to carry dfops through various contexts to the allocator context. Deferring AGFL frees is conditional behavior based on whether the transaction pointer is populated. The long term objective is to reuse the transaction pointer to clean up all unrelated callchains that pass dfops on the stack along with a transaction and in doing so, consistently defer AGFL blocks from the allocator. A bit of customization is required to handle deferred completion processing because AGFL blocks are accounted against a per-ag reservation pool and AGFL blocks are not inserted into the extent busy list when freed (they are inserted when used and released back to the AGFL). Reuse the majority of the existing deferred extent free infrastructure and customize it appropriately to handle AGFL blocks. Note that this patch only adds infrastructure. It does not change behavior because no callers have been updated to pass ->t_agfl_dfops into the allocation code. Signed-off-by:

If we are doing direct IO writes with datasync semantics, we often have to flush metadata changes along with the data write. However, if we are overwriting existing data, there are no metadata changes that we need to flush. In this case, optimising the IO by using FUA write makes sense. We know from the IOMAP_F_DIRTY flag as to whether a specific inode requires a metadata flush - this is currently used by DAX to ensure extent modification as stable in page fault operations. For direct IO writes, we can use it to determine if we need to flush metadata or not once the data is on disk. Hence if we have been returned a mapped extent that is not new and the IO mapping is not dirty, then we can use a FUA write to provide datasync semantics. This allows us to short-cut the generic_write_sync() call in IO completion and hence avoid unnecessary operations. This makes pure direct IO data write behaviour identical to the way block devices use REQ_FUA to provide datasync semantics. On a FUA enabled device, a synchronous direct IO write workload (sequential 4k overwrites in 32MB file) had the following results: # xfs_io -fd -c "pwrite -V 1 -D 0 32m" /mnt/scratch/boo kernel time write()s write iops Write b/w ------ ---- -------- ---------- --------- (no dsync) 4s 2173/s 2173 8.5MB/s vanilla 22s 370/s 750 1.4MB/s patched 19s 420/s 420 1.6MB/s The patched code clearly doesn't send cache flushes anymore, but instead uses FUA (confirmed via blktrace), and performance improves a bit as a result. However, the benefits will be higher on workloads that mix O_DSYNC overwrites with other write IO as we won't be flushing the entire device cache on every DSYNC overwrite IO anymore. Signed-Off-By:

Currently iomap_dio_rw() only handles (data)sync write completions for AIO. This means we can't optimised non-AIO IO to minimise device flushes as we can't tell the caller whether a flush is required or not. To solve this problem and enable further optimisations, make iomap_dio_rw responsible for data sync behaviour for all IO, not just AIO. In doing so, the sync operation is now accounted as part of the DIO IO by inode_dio_end(), hence post-IO data stability updates will no long race against operations that serialise via inode_dio_wait() such as truncate or hole punch.

To prepare for iomap iinfrastructure based DSYNC optimisations. While moving the code araound, move the XFS write bytes metric update for direct IO into xfs_dio_write_end_io callback so that we always capture the amount of data written via AIO+DIO. This fixes the problem where queued AIO+DIO writes are not accounted to this metric. Signed-Off-By:

When looking at an event trace recently, I noticed that non-blocking buffer lookup attempts would fail on cached locked buffers and then run the slow cache-miss path. This means we are doing an xfs_buf allocation, lookup and free unnecessarily every time we avoid blocking on a locked buffer. Fix this by changing _xfs_buf_find() to return an error status to the caller to indicate that we failed the lock attempt rather than just returning a NULL. This allows the higher level code to discriminate between a cache miss and an cache hit that we failed to lock. This also allows us to return a -EFSCORRUPTED state if we are asked to look up a block number outside the range of the filesystem in _xfs_buf_find(), which moves us one step closer to being able to handle such errors in a more graceful manner at the higher levels.

The cause of the problem was a corrupt INOBT on a v4 fs where the root inode was marked as free in the inobt record. Hence when we allocated an inode, it chose the root inode to allocate, found it in the cache and re-initialised it. We recently fixed a similar inode allocation issue caused by inobt record corruption problem in xfs_iget_cache_miss() in commit ee457001 ("xfs: catch inode allocation state mismatch corruption"). This change adds similar checks to the cache-hit path to catch it, and turns the reproducer into a corruption shutdown situation. Reported-by:
