2013-11-18xfs: open code inc_inode_iversion when logging an inodeDave Chinner
Michael L Semon reported that generic/069 runtime increased on v5 superblocks by 100% compared to v4 superblocks. his perf-based analysis pointed directly at the timestamp updates being done by the write path in this workload. The append writers are doing 4-byte writes, so there are lots of timestamp updates occurring. The thing is, they aren't being triggered by timestamp changes - they are being triggered by the inode change counter needing to be updated. That is, every write(2) system call needs to bump the inode version count, and it does that through the timestamp update mechanism. Hence for v5 filesystems, test generic/069 is running 3 orders of magnitude more timestmap update transactions on v5 filesystems due to the fact it does a huge number of *4 byte* write(2) calls. This isn't a real world scenario we really need to address - anyone doing such sequential IO should be using fwrite(3), not write(2). i.e. fwrite(3) buffers the writes in userspace to minimise the number of write(2) syscalls, and the problem goes away. However, there is a small change we can make to improve the situation - removing the expensive lock operation on the change counter update. All inode version counter changes in XFS occur under the ip->i_ilock during a transaction, and therefore we don't actually need the spin lock that provides exclusive access to it through inc_inode_iversion(). Hence avoid the lock and just open code the increment ourselves when logging the inode. Reported-by: Michael L.

2013-10-23xfs: decouple inode and bmap btree header filesDave Chinner
Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's definition. Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h, xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to xfs_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk format definitions. With this done, the xfs inode definitions are no longer dependent on btree header files. The enables a massive culling of unnecessary includes, with close to 200 #include directives removed from the XFS kernel code base.

2013-10-23xfs: decouple log and transaction headersDave Chinner
xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order. In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it. Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not translate to any userspace changes at all.

2013-10-23xfs: create a shared header file for format-related informationDave Chinner
All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part of the on disk format. Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other shared header file to put them in.

2013-06-28xfs: implement inode change countDave Chinner
For CRC enabled filesystems, add support for the monotonic inode version change counter that is needed by protocols like NFSv4 for determining if the inode has changed in any way at all between two unrelated operations on the inode. This bumps the change count the first time an inode is dirtied in a transaction. Since all modifications to the inode are logged, this will catch all changes that are made to the inode, including timestamp updates that occur during data writes.

Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update transactionally. Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for timestamp updates.

2011-10-11xfs: simplify xfs_trans_ijoin* againChristoph Hellwig
There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock is needed now. I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the log force manually after the unlock, too.

2011-02-22xfs: more sensible inode refcounting for iallocChristoph Hellwig
Currently we return iodes from xfs_ialloc with just a single reference held. But we need two references, as one is dropped during transaction commit and the second needs to be transfered to the VFS. Change xfs_ialloc to use xfs_iget plus xfs_trans_ijoin_ref to grab two references to the inode, and remove the now superflous IHOLD calls from all callers. This also greatly simplifies the error handling in xfs_create and also allow to remove xfs_trans_iget as no other callers are left.

2010-10-18xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modificationsDave Chinner
Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order. The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush. We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending disk address offset order so will be very efficient. Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or unlogged metadata changes. However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this - there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes, and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

2010-07-26xfs: simplify inode to transaction joiningChristoph Hellwig
Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin. This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface to the caller this also simplifies the implementation. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
2010-07-26xfs: simplify log item descriptor trackingChristoph Hellwig
Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator. This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list. This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/ delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium, and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry. Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.

2009-09-01xfs: simplify xfs_trans_igetChristoph Hellwig
xfs_trans_iget is a wrapper for xfs_iget that adds the inode to the transaction after it is read. Except when the inode already is in the inode cache, in which case it returns the existing locked inode with increment lock recursion counts. Now, no one in the tree every decrements these lock recursion counts, so any user of this gets a potential double unlock when both the original owner of the inode and the xfs_trans_iget caller unlock it. When looking back in a git bisect in the historic XFS tree there was only one place that decremented these counts, xfs_trans_iput. Introduced in commit ca25df7a840f426eb566d52667b6950b92bb84b5 by Adam Sweeney in 1993, and removed in commit 19f899a3ab155ff6a49c0c79b06f2f61059afaf3 by Steve Lord in 2003. And as long as it didn't slip through git bisects cracks never actually used in that time frame. A quick audit of the callers of xfs_trans_iget shows that no caller really relies on this behaviour fortunately - xfs_ialloc allows this inode from disk so it must not be there before, and all the RT allocator routines only every add each RT bitmap inode once. In addition to removing lots of code and reducing the size of the inode item this patch also avoids the double inode cache lookup in each create/mkdir/mknod transaction.
