The start of a heavy weight application (ie. KVM) may instantly knock down determine_dirtyable_memory() if the swap is not enabled or full. global_dirty_limits() and bdi_dirty_limit() will in turn get global/bdi dirty thresholds that are _much_ lower than the global/bdi dirty pages. balance_dirty_pages() will then heavily throttle all dirtiers including the light ones, until the dirty pages drop below the new dirty thresholds. During this _deep_ dirty-exceeded state, the system may appear rather unresponsive to the users. About "deep" dirty-exceeded: task_dirty_limit() assigns 1/8 lower dirty threshold to heavy dirtiers than light ones, and the dirty pages will be throttled around the heavy dirtiers' dirty threshold and reasonably below the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. In this state, only the heavy dirtiers will be throttled and the dirty pages are carefully controlled to not exceed the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. However if the threshold itself suddenly drops below the number of dirty pages, the light dirtiers will get heavily throttled. So introduce global_dirty_limit for tracking the global dirty threshold with policies - follow downwards slowly - follow up in one shot global_dirty_limit can effectively mask out the impact of sudden drop of dirtyable memory. It will be used in the next patch for two new type of dirty limits. Note that the new dirty limits are not going to avoid throttling the light dirtiers, but could limit their sleep time to 200ms.

Add a "BdiWriteBandwidth" entry and indent others in /debug/bdi/*/stats. btw, increase digital field width to 10, for keeping the possibly huge BdiWritten number aligned at least for desktop systems. Impact: this could break user space tools if they are dumb enough to depend on the number of white spaces.

The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real bandwidth in seconds. It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized. Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped. The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle. The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and bandwidth with async writes. The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth. The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term. The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at 200ms intervals. The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations. The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4, fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests. That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(), and initialize the struct writeback_control there. struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers. It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean zero value. It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write. Acked-by:

It is valuable to know how the dirty inodes are iterated and their IO size. "writeback_single_inode: bdi 8:0: ino=134246746 state=I_DIRTY_SYNC|I_SYNC age=414 index=0 to_write=1024 wrote=0" - "state" reflects inode->i_state at the end of writeback_single_inode() - "index" reflects mapping->writeback_index after the ->writepages() call - "to_write" is the wbc->nr_to_write at entrance of writeback_single_inode() - "wrote" is the number of pages actually written v2: add trace event writeback_single_inode_requeue as proposed by Dave.

This avoids unnecessary checks and dirty throttling on tmpfs/ramfs. Notes about the tmpfs/ramfs behavior changes: As for 2.6.36 and older kernels, the tmpfs writes will sleep inside balance_dirty_pages() as long as we are over the (dirty+background)/2 global throttle threshold. This is because both the dirty pages and threshold will be 0 for tmpfs/ramfs. Hence this test will always evaluate to TRUE: dirty_exceeded = (bdi_nr_reclaimable + bdi_nr_writeback >= bdi_thresh) || (nr_reclaimable + nr_writeback >= dirty_thresh); For 2.6.37, someone complained that the current logic does not allow the users to set vm.dirty_ratio=0. So commit 4cbec4c8 changed the test to dirty_exceeded = (bdi_nr_reclaimable + bdi_nr_writeback > bdi_thresh) || (nr_reclaimable + nr_writeback > dirty_thresh); So 2.6.37 will behave differently for tmpfs/ramfs: it will never get throttled unless the global dirty threshold is exceeded (which is very unlikely to happen; once happen, will block many tasks). I'd say that the 2.6.36 behavior is very bad for tmpfs/ramfs. It means for a busy writing server, tmpfs write()s may get livelocked! The "inadvertent" throttling can hardly bring help to any workload because of its "either no throttling, or get throttled to death" property. So based on 2.6.37, this patch won't bring more noticeable changes. CC: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Acked-by:Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by:

Split the global inode_wb_list_lock into a per-bdi_writeback list_lock, as it's currently the most contended lock in the system for metadata heavy workloads. It won't help for single-filesystem workloads for which we'll need the I/O-less balance_dirty_pages, but at least we can dedicate a cpu to spinning on each bdi now for larger systems. Based on earlier patches from Nick Piggin and Dave Chinner.

There is no point to carry different refill policies between for_kupdate and other type of works. Use a consistent "refill b_io iff empty" policy which can guarantee fairness in an easy to understand way. A b_io refill will setup a _fixed_ work set with all currently eligible inodes and start a new round of walk through b_io. The "fixed" work set means no new inodes will be added to the work set during the walk. Only when a complete walk over b_io is done, new inodes that are eligible at the time will be enqueued and the walk be started over. This procedure provides fairness among the inodes because it guarantees each inode to be synced once and only once at each round. So all inodes will be free from starvations. This change relies on wb_writeback() to keep retrying as long as we made some progress on cleaning some pages and/or inodes. Without that ability, the old logic on background works relies on aggressively queuing all eligible inodes into b_io at every time. But that's not a guarantee. The below test script completes a slightly faster now: 2.6.39-rc3 2.6.39-rc3-dyn-expire+ ------------------------------------------------ all elapsed 256.043 252.367 stddev 24.381 12.530 tar elapsed 30.097 28.808 dd elapsed 13.214 11.782 #!/bin/zsh cp /c/linux-2.6.38.3.tar.bz2 /dev/shm/ umount /dev/sda7 mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sda7 mount /dev/sda7 /fs echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches tic=$(cat /proc/uptime|cut -d' ' -f2) cd /fs time tar jxf /dev/shm/linux-2.6.38.3.tar.bz2 & time dd if=/dev/zero of=/fs/zero bs=1M count=1000 & wait sync tac=$(cat /proc/uptime|cut -d' ' -f2) echo elapsed: $((tac - tic)) It maintains roughly the same small vs. large file writeout shares, and offers large files better chances to be written in nice 4M chunks. Analyzes from Dave Chinner in great details: Let's say we have lots of inodes with 100 dirty pages being created, and one large writeback going on. We expire 8 new inodes for every 1024 pages we write back. With the old code, we do: b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l) 8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 8s) writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (8s, 1l) 8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (8s, 1l, 8s) writeback 8 small inodes 800 pages 1 large inode 224 pages -> b_more_io b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (8s, 1l) 8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (8s, 1l, 8s) ..... Your new code: b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l) 8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 8s) writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io (b_io == 8s) writeback 8 small inodes 800 pages b_io empty: (1800 pages written) b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l) 14 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 14s) writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io (b_io == 14s) writeback 10 small inodes 1000 pages 1 small inode 24 pages -> b_more_io (1l, 1s(24)) writeback 5 small inodes 500 pages b_io empty: (2548 pages written) b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l, 1s(24)) 20 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 1s(24), 20s) ...... Rough progression of pages written at b_io refill: Old code: total large file % of writeback 1024 224 21.9% (fixed) New code: total large file % of writeback 1800 1024 ~55% 2550 1024 ~40% 3050 1024 ~33% 3500 1024 ~29% 3950 1024 ~26% 4250 1024 ~24% 4500 1024 ~22.7% 4700 1024 ~21.7% 4800 1024 ~21.3% 4800 1024 ~21.3% (pretty much steady state from here) Ok, so the steady state is reached with a similar percentage of writeback to the large file as the existing code. Ok, that's good, but providing some evidence that is doesn't change the shared of writeback to the large should be in the commit message ;) The other advantage to this is that we always write 1024 page chunks to the large file, rather than smaller "whatever remains" chunks.

Dynamically compute the dirty expire timestamp at queue_io() time. writeback_control.older_than_this used to be determined at entrance to the kupdate writeback work. This _static_ timestamp may go stale if the kupdate work runs on and on. The flusher may then stuck with some old busy inodes, never considering newly expired inodes thereafter. This has two possible problems: - It is unfair for a large dirty inode to delay (for a long time) the writeback of small dirty inodes. - As time goes by, the large and busy dirty inode may contain only _freshly_ dirtied pages. Ignoring newly expired dirty inodes risks delaying the expired dirty pages to the end of LRU lists, triggering the evil pageout(). Nevertheless this patch merely addresses part of the problem. v2: keep policy changes inside wb_writeback() and keep the wbc.older_than_this visibility as suggested by Dave.

writeback_inodes_wb()/__writeback_inodes_sb() are not aggressive in that they only populate possibly a subset of eligible inodes into b_io at entrance time. When the queued set of inodes are all synced, they just return, possibly with all queued inode pages written but still wbc.nr_to_write > 0. For kupdate and background writeback, there may be more eligible inodes sitting in b_dirty when the current set of b_io inodes are completed. So it is necessary to try another round of writeback as long as we made some progress in this round. When there are no more eligible inodes, no more inodes will be enqueued in queue_io(), hence nothing could/will be synced and we may safely bail. For example, imagine 100 inodes i0, i1, i2, ..., i90, i91, i99 At queue_io() time, i90-i99 happen to be expired and moved to s_io for IO. When finished successfully, if their total size is less than MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES, nr_to_write will be > 0. Then wb_writeback() will quit the background work (w/o this patch) while it's still over background threshold. This will be a fairly normal/frequent case I guess. Now that we do tagged sync and update inode->dirtied_when after the sync, this change won't livelock sync(1). I actually tried to write 1 page per 1ms with this command write-and-fsync -n10000 -S 1000 -c 4096 /fs/test and do sync(1) at the same time. The sync completes quickly on ext4, xfs, btrfs.

The flusher works on dirty inodes in batches, and may quit prematurely if the batch of inodes happen to be metadata-only dirtied: in this case wbc->nr_to_write won't be decreased at all, which stands for "no pages written" but also mis-interpreted as "no progress". So introduce writeback_control.inodes_written to count the inodes get cleaned from VFS POV. A non-zero value means there are some progress on writeback, in which case more writeback can be tried.

Explicitly update .dirtied_when on synced inodes, so that they are no longer considered for writeback in the next round. It can prevent both of the following livelock schemes: - while true; do echo data >> f; done - while true; do touch f; done (in theory) The exact livelock condition is, during sync(1): (1) no new inodes are dirtied (2) an inode being actively dirtied On (2), the inode will be tagged and synced with .nr_to_write=LONG_MAX. When finished, it will be redirty_tail()ed because it's still dirty and (.nr_to_write > 0). redirty_tail() won't update its ->dirtied_when on condition (1). The sync work will then revisit it on the next queue_io() and find it eligible again because its old ->dirtied_when predates the sync work start time. We'll do more aggressive "keep writeback as long as we wrote something" logic in wb_writeback(). The "use LONG_MAX .nr_to_write" trick in commit b9543dac ("writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writeback") will no longer be enough to stop sync livelock. Reviewed-by:

sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the WB_SYNC_ALL sync. Identify the first stage with .tagged_writepages and do livelock prevention for it, too. Jan's commit f446daae ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") is a partial fix in that it only fixed the WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock. Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daae, it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems. Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are treated the same because the other callers also need livelock prevention. Impact: It changes the order in which pages/inodes are synced to disk. Now in the WB_SYNC_NONE stage, it won't proceed to write the next inode until finished with the current inode. Acked-by:

With Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powercp ppc64_defconfig) produced this warning: fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c: In function 'btrfs_delayed_update_inode': fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:1598:6: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function Introduced by commit 16cdcec7 ("btrfs: implement delayed inode items operation"). This fixes a bug in btrfs_update_inode(): if the returned value from btrfs_delayed_update_inode is a nonzero garbage, inode stat data are not updated and several call paths may hit a BUG_ON or fail with strange code.

With the removal of the implicit plugging scrub ends up doing more and smaller I/O than necessary. This patch adds explicit plugging per chunk. Signed-off-by:

With xfstest 254 I can panic the box every time with the inode number caching stuff on. This is because we clean the inodes out when we delete the subvolume, but then we write out the inode cache which adds an inode to the subvolume inode tree, and then when it gets evicted again the root gets added back on the dead roots list and is deleted again, so we have a double free. To stop this from happening just return 0 if refs is 0 (and we're not the tree root since tree root always has refs of 0). With this fix 254 no longer panics. Thanks, Signed-off-by:

In degraded mode the struct btrfs_device of missing devs don't have device->name set. A kstrdup of NULL correctly returns NULL. Don't BUG in this case. Signed-off-by:
