Dave Chinner 1f3c785c3a xfs: move allocation stack switch up to xfs_bmapi_allocate
Switching stacks are xfs_alloc_vextent can cause deadlocks when we
run out of worker threads on the allocation workqueue. This can
occur because xfs_bmap_btalloc can make multiple calls to
xfs_alloc_vextent() and even if xfs_alloc_vextent() fails it can
return with the AGF locked in the current allocation transaction.

If we then need to make another allocation, and all the allocation
worker contexts are exhausted because the are blocked waiting for
the AGF lock, holder of the AGF cannot get it's xfs-alloc_vextent
work completed to release the AGF.  Hence allocation effectively
deadlocks.

To avoid this, move the stack switch one layer up to
xfs_bmapi_allocate() so that all of the allocation attempts in a
single switched stack transaction occur in a single worker context.
This avoids the problem of an allocation being blocked waiting for
a worker thread whilst holding the AGF.

Dave Chinner 326c03555b xfs: introduce XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH
Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations
where we have limited stack available. These are almost always in
the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation
extents to real extents.

The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which
means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and
unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never
been implicated in a stack overrun.

Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack
switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that
the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch
stacks if it needs to do allocation.

Dave Chinner aa292847b9 xfs: don't defer metadata allocation to the workqueue
Almost all metadata allocations come from shallow stack usage
situations. Avoid the overhead of switching the allocation to a
workqueue as we are not in danger of running out of stack when
making these allocations. Metadata allocations are already marked
through the args that are passed down, so this is trivial to do.

Dave Chinner a66d636385 xfs: fix fstrim offset calculations
xfs_ioc_fstrim() doesn't treat the incoming offset and length
correctly. It treats them as a filesystem block address, rather than
a disk address. This is wrong because the range passed in is a
linear representation, while the filesystem block address notation
is a sparse representation. Hence we cannot convert the range direct
to filesystem block units and then use that for calculating the
range to trim.

While this sounds dangerous, the problem is limited to calculating
what AGs need to be trimmed. The code that calcuates the actual
ranges to trim gets the right result (i.e. only ever discards free
space), even though it uses the wrong ranges to limit what is
trimmed. Hence this is not a bug that endangers user data.

Fix this by treating the range as a disk address range and use the
appropriate functions to convert the range into the desired formats
for calculations.

Further, fix the first free extent lookup (the longest) to actually
find the largest free extent. Currently this lookup uses a <=
lookup, which results in finding the extent to the left of the
largest because we can never get an exact match on the largest
extent. This is due to the fact that while we know it's size, we
don't know it's location and so the exact match fails and we move
one record to the left to get the next largest extent. Instead, use
a >= search so that the lookup returns the largest extent regardless
of the fact we don't get an exact match on it.

Dave Chinner c999a223c2 xfs: introduce an allocation workqueue
We currently have significant issues with the amount of stack that
allocation in XFS uses, especially in the writeback path. We can
easily consume 4k of stack between mapping the page, manipulating
the bmap btree and allocating blocks from the free list. Not to
mention btree block readahead and other functionality that issues IO
in the allocation path.

As a result, we can no longer fit allocation in the writeback path
in the stack space provided on x86_64. To alleviate this problem,
introduce an allocation workqueue and move all allocations to a
seperate context. This can be easily added as an interposing layer
into xfs_alloc_vextent(), which takes a single argument structure
and does not return until the allocation is complete or has failed.

To do this, add a work structure and a completion to the allocation
args structure. This allows xfs_alloc_vextent to queue the args onto
the workqueue and wait for it to be completed by the worker. This
can be done completely transparently to the caller.

The worker function needs to ensure that it sets and clears the
PF_TRANS flag appropriately as it is being run in an active
transaction context. Work can also be queued in a memory reclaim
context, so a rescuer is needed for the workqueue.

Christoph Hellwig 55a7bc5a30 xfs: do not discard alloc btree blocks
Blocks for the allocation btree are allocated from and released to
the AGFL, and thus frequently reused.  Even worse we do not have an
easy way to avoid using an AGFL block when it is discarded due to
the simple FILO list of free blocks, and thus can frequently stall
on blocks that are currently undergoing a discard.

Add a flag to the busy extent tracking structure to skip the discard
for allocation btree blocks.  In normal operation these blocks are
reused frequently enough that there is no need to discard them
anyway, but if they spill over to the allocation btree as part of a
balance we "leak" blocks that we would otherwise discard.  We could
fix this by adding another flag and keeping these block in the
rbtree even after they aren't busy any more so that we could discard
them when they migrate out of the AGFL.  Given that this would cause
significant overhead I don't think it's worthwile for now.

Dave Chinner bf59170a66 xfs: obey minleft values during extent allocation correctly
When allocating an extent that is long enough to consume the
remaining free space in an AG, we need to ensure that the allocation
leaves enough space in the AG for any subsequent bmap btree blocks
that are needed to track the new extent. These have to be allocated
in the same AG as we only reserve enough blocks in an allocation
transaction for modification of the freespace trees in a single AG.

xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() has been considering blocks on the AGFL as
free blocks available for extent and bmbt block allocation, which is
not correct - blocks on the AGFL are there exclusively for the use
of the free space btrees. As a result, when minleft is less than the
number of blocks on the AGFL, xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() does not trim
the given extent to leave minleft blocks available for bmbt
allocation, and hence we can fail allocation during bmbt record
insertion.

Christoph Hellwig e26f0501cf xfs: do not immediately reuse busy extent ranges
Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force
to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue
and use the newly allocated extent.  This is extremely sub-optimal as we
have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous.

Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to
allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as
to whether they are in the busy list.  If they are in the busy list, we
trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that
trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can
be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already
does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid
candidate for allocation.

Dave Chinner ed3b4d6cdc xfs: Improve scalability of busy extent tracking
When we free a metadata extent, we record it in the per-AG busy
extent array so that it is not re-used before the freeing
transaction hits the disk. This array is fixed size, so when it
overflows we make further allocation transactions synchronous
because we cannot track more freed extents until those transactions
hit the disk and are completed. Under heavy mixed allocation and
freeing workloads with large log buffers, we can overflow this array
quite easily.

Further, the array is sparsely populated, which means that inserts
need to search for a free slot, and array searches often have to
search many more slots that are actually used to check all the
busy extents. Quite inefficient, really.

To enable this aspect of extent freeing to scale better, we need
a structure that can grow dynamically. While in other areas of
XFS we have used radix trees, the extents being freed are at random
locations on disk so are better suited to being indexed by an rbtree.

So, use a per-AG rbtree indexed by block number to track busy
extents.  This incures a memory allocation when marking an extent
busy, but should not occur too often in low memory situations. This
should scale to an arbitrary number of extents so should not be a
limitation for features such as in-memory aggregation of
transactions.

However, there are still situations where we can't avoid allocating
busy extents (such as allocation from the AGFL). To minimise the
overhead of such occurences, we need to avoid doing a synchronous
log force while holding the AGF locked to ensure that the previous
transactions are safely on disk before we use the extent. We can do
this by marking the transaction doing the allocation as synchronous
rather issuing a log force.

Because of the locking involved and the ordering of transactions,
the synchronous transaction provides the same guarantees as a
synchronous log force because it ensures that all the prior
transactions are already on disk when the synchronous transaction
hits the disk. i.e. it preserves the free->allocate order of the
extent correctly in recovery.

By doing this, we avoid holding the AGF locked while log writes are
in progress, hence reducing the length of time the lock is held and
therefore we increase the rate at which we can allocate and free
from the allocation group, thereby increasing overall throughput.

The only problem with this approach is that when a metadata buffer is
marked stale (e.g. a directory block is removed), then buffer remains
pinned and locked until the log goes to disk. The issue here is that
if that stale buffer is reallocated in a subsequent transaction, the
attempt to lock that buffer in the transaction will hang waiting
the log to go to disk to unlock and unpin the buffer. Hence if
someone tries to lock a pinned, stale, locked buffer we need to
push on the log to get it unlocked ASAP. Effectively we are trading
off a guaranteed log force for a much less common trigger for log
force to occur.

Ideally we should not reallocate busy extents. That is a much more
complex fix to the problem as it involves direct intervention in the
allocation btree searches in many places. This is left to a future
set of modifications.

Finally, now that we track busy extents in allocated memory, we
don't need the descriptors in the transaction structure to point to
them. We can replace the complex busy chunk infrastructure with a
simple linked list of busy extents. This allows us to remove a large
chunk of code, making the overall change a net reduction in code
size.

Christoph Hellwig a14a348bff xfs: cleanup up xfs_log_force calling conventions
Remove the XFS_LOG_FORCE argument which was always set, and the
XFS_LOG_URGE define, which was never used.

Split xfs_log_force into a two helpers - xfs_log_force which forces
the whole log, and xfs_log_force_lsn which forces up to the
specified LSN.  The underlying implementations already were entirely
separate, as were the users.

Also re-indent the new _xfs_log_force/_xfs_log_force which
previously had a weird coding style.

Currently we define aliases for the buffer flags in various

Dave Chinner 1c1c6ebcf5 xfs: Replace per-ag array with a radix tree
The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation
of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking
access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the
locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an
array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag
and index them using a tree structure.

The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but
the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence
indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works
well with this sort of index.  This change also removes another
large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS.

The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new
AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to
exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only
needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will
remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as
it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock
from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short.

To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be
reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while
they are still in use.  This will be done in subsequent patch.

Dave Chinner a862e0fdcb xfs: Don't directly reference m_perag in allocation code
Start abstracting the perag references so that the indexing of the
structures is not directly coded into all the places that uses the
perag structures. This will allow us to separate the use of the
perag structure and the way it is indexed and hence avoid the known
deadlocks related to growing a busy filesystem.

Dave Chinner fd45e47841 xfs: Ensure we force all busy extents in range to disk
When we search for and find a busy extent during allocation we
force the log out to ensure the extent free transaction is on
disk before the allocation transaction. The current implementation
has a subtle bug in it--it does not handle multiple overlapping
ranges.

That is, if we free lots of little extents into a single
contiguous extent, then allocate the contiguous extent, the busy
search code stops searching at the first extent it finds that
overlaps the allocated range. It then uses the commit LSN of the
transaction to force the log out to.

Unfortunately, the other busy ranges might have more recent
commit LSNs than the first busy extent that is found, and this
results in xfs_alloc_search_busy() returning before all the
extent free transactions are on disk for the range being
allocated. This can lead to potential metadata corruption or
stale data exposure after a crash because log replay won't replay
all the extent free transactions that cover the allocation range.

(Dropped the "found" argument from the xfs_alloc_busysearch trace
event.)

Christoph Hellwig 0b1b213fcf xfs: event tracing support
Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.

To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:

   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable

or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.

   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable

or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail.  To reads the events do a

   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ.  This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
     allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
     spots in XFS.  Take a look at

    http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/

for some examples.

Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.

And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:

Always use the generic xfs_btree_block type instead of the short / long
structures. Add XFS_BTREE_SBLOCK_LEN / XFS_BTREE_LBLOCK_LEN defines for
the length of a short / long form block. The rationale for this is that we
will grow more btree block header variants to support CRCs and other RAS
information, and always accessing them through the same datatype with
unions for the short / long form pointers makes implementing this much
easier.
