fs: turn iprune_mutex into rwsem We have had a report of bad memory allocation latency during DVD-RAM (UDF) writing. This is causing the user's desktop session to become unusable.

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

[PATCH] bugfix: two read_inode() calls without clear_inode() call between Bug symptoms ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the same inode VFS calls read_inode() twice and doesn't call clear_inode() between the two read_inode() invocations. Bug description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suppose we have an inode which has zero reference count but is still in the inode cache. Suppose kswapd invokes shrink_icache_memory() to free some RAM. In prune_icache() inodes are removed from i_hash. prune_icache () is then going to call clear_inode(), but drops the inode_lock spinlock before this. If in this moment another task calls iget() for an inode which was just removed from i_hash by prune_icache(), then iget() invokes read_inode() for this inode, because it is *already removed* from i_hash. The end result is: we call iget(#N) then iput(#N); inode #N has zero i_count now and is in the inode cache; kswapd starts. kswapd removes the inode #N from i_hash ans is preempted; we call iget(#N) again; read_inode() is invoked as the result; but we expect clear_inode() before. Fix ~~~~~~~ To fix the bug I remove inodes from i_hash later, when clear_inode() is actually called. I remove them from i_hash under spinlock protection. Since the i_state is set to I_FREEING, it is safe to do this. The others will sleep waiting for the inode state change. I also postpone removing inodes from i_sb_list. It is not compulsory to do so but I do it for readability reasons. Inodes are added/removed to the lists together everywhere in the code and there is no point to change this rule. This is harmless because the only user of i_sb_list which somehow may interfere with me (invalidate_list()) is excluded by the iprune_sem mutex. The same race is possible in invalidate_list() so I do the same for it.

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

fs: new inode i_state corruption fix There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

fs: new inode i_state corruption fix There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

[PATCH] Light weight event counters The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bits The problems are: - on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but... - many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1. - after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter wraps. This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their inodes. The questions are: 1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems? 2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it? What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be problematic. I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add). The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm open to ways to try and gauge this. Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems.

[PATCH] Fix soft lockup due to NTFS: VFS part and explanation Something has changed in the core kernel such that we now get concurrent inode write outs, one e.g via pdflush and one via sys_sync or whatever. This causes a nasty deadlock in ntfs. The only clean solution unfortunately requires a minor vfs api extension. First the deadlock analysis: Prerequisive knowledge: NTFS has a file $MFT (inode 0) loaded at mount time. The NTFS driver uses the page cache for storing the file contents as usual. More interestingly this file contains the table of on-disk inodes as a sequence of MFT_RECORDs. Thus NTFS driver accesses the on-disk inodes by accessing the MFT_RECORDs in the page cache pages of the loaded inode $MFT. The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk inode, which is as explained above in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging to the table of inodes ($MFT, inode 0). What happens: Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out (this is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before the write to disk which are removed again after the write and PageUptodate is then set again). It then analyses the page looking for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the global inode_lock. Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> read_cache_page() of the page (in page cache of table of inodes $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so read_cache_page() blocks when tries to take the page lock for the page so it can call ntfs_read_page(). Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page. And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page. Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock. The only sensible solution: NTFS does not care whether the VFS inode is locked or not when it calls ilookup5() (it doesn't use the VFS inode at all, it just uses it to find the corresponding ntfs_inode which is of course attached to the VFS inode (both are one single struct); and it uses the ntfs_inode which is subject to its own locking so I_LOCK is irrelevant) hence we want a modified ilookup5_nowait() which is the same as ilookup5() but it does not wait on the inode lock. Without such functionality I would have to keep my own ntfs_inode cache in the NTFS driver just so I can find ntfs_inodes independent of their VFS inodes which would be slow, memory and cpu cycle wasting, and incredibly stupid given the icache already exists in the VFS. Below is a patch that does the ilookup5_nowait() implementation in fs/inode.c and exports it. ilookup5_nowait.diff: Introduce ilookup5_nowait() which is basically the same as ilookup5() but it does not wait on the inode's lock (i.e. it omits the wait_on_inode() done in ifind()).

[PATCH] Fix soft lockup due to NTFS: VFS part and explanation Something has changed in the core kernel such that we now get concurrent inode write outs, one e.g via pdflush and one via sys_sync or whatever. This causes a nasty deadlock in ntfs. The only clean solution unfortunately requires a minor vfs api extension. First the deadlock analysis: Prerequisive knowledge: NTFS has a file $MFT (inode 0) loaded at mount time. The NTFS driver uses the page cache for storing the file contents as usual. More interestingly this file contains the table of on-disk inodes as a sequence of MFT_RECORDs. Thus NTFS driver accesses the on-disk inodes by accessing the MFT_RECORDs in the page cache pages of the loaded inode $MFT. The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty.

[PATCH] Fix soft lockup due to NTFS: VFS part and explanation Something has changed in the core kernel such that we now get concurrent inode write outs, one e.g via pdflush and one via sys_sync or whatever. This causes a nasty deadlock in ntfs. The only clean solution unfortunately requires a minor vfs api extension. First the deadlock analysis: Prerequisive knowledge: NTFS has a file $MFT (inode 0) loaded at mount time. The NTFS driver uses the page cache for storing the file contents as usual. More interestingly this file contains the table of on-disk inodes as a sequence of MFT_RECORDs. Thus NTFS driver accesses the on-disk inodes by accessing the MFT_RECORDs in the page cache pages of the loaded inode $MFT. The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk inode, which is as explained above in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging to the table of inodes ($MFT, inode 0). What happens: Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls __sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked -> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out (this is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before the write to disk which are removed again after the write and PageUptodate is then set again). It then analyses the page looking for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind() which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the global inode_lock. Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK) then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() -> read_cache_page() of the page (in page cache of table of inodes $MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so read_cache_page() blocks when tries to take the page lock for the page so it can call ntfs_read_page(). Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page. And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page. Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock. The only sensible solution: NTFS does not care whether the VFS inode is locked or not when it calls ilookup5() (it doesn't use the VFS inode at all, it just uses it to find the corresponding ntfs_inode which is of course attached to the VFS inode (both are one single struct); and it uses the ntfs_inode which is subject to its own locking so I_LOCK is irrelevant) hence we want a modified ilookup5_nowait() which is the same as ilookup5() but it does not wait on the inode lock. Without such functionality I would have to keep my own ntfs_inode cache in the NTFS driver just so I can find ntfs_inodes independent of their VFS inodes which would be slow, memory and cpu cycle wasting, and incredibly stupid given the icache already exists in the VFS. Below is a patch that does the ilookup5_nowait() implementation in fs/inode.c and exports it. ilookup5_nowait.diff: Introduce ilookup5_nowait() which is basically the same as ilookup5() but it does not wait on the inode's lock (i.e. it omits the wait_on_inode() done in ifind()). This is needed to avoid a nasty deadlock in NTFS. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

fs: new inode i_state corruption fix There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

[PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with I_WILL_FREE set list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use); } else { list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused); + inodes_stat.nr_unused++; } } wake_up_inode(inode); Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between 2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong. The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is that I_WILL_FREE is set. And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not increase nr_unused. So I believe the above change is buggy and it will definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed out. Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear here: spin_unlock(&inode_lock); __wait_on_inode(inode); iput(inode); XXXXXXX spin_lock(&inode_lock); } use inode again here a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting standpoint. Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was useless if we keep using the inode after the iput. So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX). Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug). The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps a reference on the inode!
