25389bb207 jbd: Fix lock ordering bug in journal_unmap_buffer()
Commit 09e05d48 introduced a wait for transaction commit into
journal_unmap_buffer() in the case we are truncating a buffer undergoing commit
in the page stradding i_size on a filesystem with blocksize < pagesize. Sadly
we forgot to drop buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit and thus
deadlock is possible when kjournald wants to lock the buffer.

Fix the problem by dropping the buffer lock before waiting for transaction
commit. Since we are still holding page lock (and that is OK), buffer cannot
disappear under us.

09e05d4805 jbd: Fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction credits
ext3 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally
hitting assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the
transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached.  The
core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need
checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with
buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a
page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these
buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go
awry from here.

The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would
start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly
cleaned up as well.

Under some rare circumstances this bug could even hit data=ordered mode users.
There the assertion won't trigger and we would end up corrupting the
filesystem.

We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just
need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be
written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait
for transaction commit to finish.

2db938bee3 jbd: Refine commit writeout logic
Currently we write out all journal buffers in WRITE_SYNC mode. This improves
performance for fsync heavy workloads but hinders performance when writes
are mostly asynchronous, most noticably it slows down readers and users
complain about slow desktop response etc.

So submit writes as asynchronous in the normal case and only submit writes as
WRITE_SYNC if we detect someone is waiting for current transaction commit.

I've gathered some numbers to back this change. The first is the read latency
test. It measures time to read 1 MB after several seconds of sleeping in
presence of streaming writes.

Top 10 times (out of 90) in us:
Before		After
2131586		697473
1709932		557487
1564598		535642
1480462		347573
1478579		323153
1408496		222181
1388960		181273
1329565		181070
1252486		172832
1223265		172278

Average:
619377		82180

So the improvement in both maximum and average latency is massive.

I've measured fsync throughput by:
fs_mark -n 100 -t 1 -s 16384 -d /mnt/fsync/ -S 1 -L 4

in presence of streaming reader. The numbers (fsyncs/s) are:
Before		After
9.9		6.3
6.8		6.0
6.3		6.2
5.8		6.1

So fsync performance seems unharmed by this change.

0048278552 jbd: Remove j_barrier mutex
j_barrier mutex is used for serializing different journal lock operations.  The
problem with it is that e.g. FIFREEZE ioctl results in process leaving kernel
with j_barrier mutex held which makes lockdep freak out. Also hibernation code
wants to freeze filesystem but it cannot do so because it then cannot hibernate
the system because of mutex being locked.

So we remove j_barrier mutex and use direct wait on j_barrier_count instead.
Since locking journal is a rare operation we don't have to care about fairness
or such things.

bb189247f3 jbd: Fix oops in journal_remove_journal_head()
journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head
returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race:

	TASK1					TASK2
  journal_commit_transaction()
    ...
    processing t_forget list
      __journal_refile_buffer(jh);
      if (!jh->b_transaction) {
        jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
					journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
					  journal_put_journal_head(jh)
        journal_remove_journal_head(bh);

journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not
part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing
so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after
journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I
didn't see this happen in reality).

Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference
(in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via
journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when
b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]journal_unfile_buffer(), and __journal_remove_checkpoint() can free
journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be
careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as
well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

05713082ab jbd: remove dependency on __GFP_NOFAIL
The callers of start_this_handle() (or better ext3_journal_start()) are not
really prepared to handle allocation failures. Such failures can for example
result in silent data loss when it happens in ext3_..._writepage().  OTOH
__GFP_NOFAIL is going away so we just retry allocation in start_this_handle().

This loop is potentially dangerous because the oom killer cannot be invoked
for GFP_NOFS allocation, so there is a potential for infinitely looping.
But still this is better than silent data loss.

1e9fd53b78 jbd: Fix a race between checkpointing code and journal_get_write_access()
The following race can happen:

  CPU1                          CPU2
                                checkpointing code checks the buffer, adds
                                  it to an array for writeback
do_get_write_access()
  ...
  lock_buffer()
  unlock_buffer()
                                  flush_batch() submits the buffer for IO
  __jbd_journal_file_buffer()

  So a buffer under writeout is returned from do_get_write_access(). Since
the filesystem code relies on the fact that journaled buffers cannot be
written out, it does not take the buffer lock and so it can modify buffer
while it is under writeout. That can lead to a filesystem corruption
if we crash at the right moment. The similar problem can happen with
the journal_get_create_access() path.
  We fix the problem by clearing the buffer dirty bit under buffer_lock
even if the buffer is on BJ_None list. Actually, we clear the dirty bit
regardless the list the buffer is in and warn about the fact if
the buffer is already journalled.

Thanks for spotting the problem goes to dingdinghua <dingdinghua85@gmail.com>.

f420d4dc42 jbd: improve fsync batching
There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching.  If we fsync() a
file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we
automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join
into the transaction before forcing the commit.  The problem with this is
that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit
a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so
sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed
the transaction and kept going.  Ric Wheeler noticed this when using
fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added
more threads.

This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in
nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time
we started the transaction.  If we run an fsync() and we have been running
for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep
for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk.  We acheive
sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout.  This means that the wait
time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having
this static timeout.  I weighted the average according to somebody's
comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random
outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the
average.  I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep
longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested
by Andrew.

I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a
ramdisk to represent a super fast array.  I tested with a SATA drive with
barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested
with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the
ramdisk.  I ran the following command

fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i

where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.  I mkfs'ed the fs each time.  Here are my
results

3f31fddfa2 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when
the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data
buffer to flush to disk.  If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers()
request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as
error and return back to the caller.  We have seen the directo IO failed
due to this race.  Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the
buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the
releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to
indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed,
let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the
current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

5b9a499d77 jbd: fix possible journal overflow issues
There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to
its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers
counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter.

This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging
buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes
negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we
actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be
enough room for them.  In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost
impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space.

The fix is to only
refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions
BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way
to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer.

This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible
that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only
gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if
the buffer was modified.  The assert will help catch if this problem occurs.
Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running
postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.  Thank you,

5bc833feaa jbd: fix the way the b_modified flag is cleared
Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.

The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd
lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.

This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to.  This patch
removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
not then we know we didn't use it.

That will be important for the next patch in this series.  Tested thoroughly
by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

44d306e150 [PATCH] user of the jiffies rounding code: JBD
This patch introduces a user: of the round_jiffies() function; the "5 second"
ext3/jbd wakeup.

While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many of these
(and these timers do add up over all the kernel).  The "5 second" wakeup isn't
really timing sensitive; in addition even with rounding it'll still happen
every 5 seconds (with the exception of the very first time, which is likely to
be rounded up to somewhere closer to 6 seconds)

f58a74dca8 [PATCH] jbd: journal_dirty_data re-check for unmapped buffers
When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found
cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the
ext3 dirty data journaling code.

I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a
truncate which would unmap the buffer in question.

Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already
unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the
state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle
of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer.

By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we
should avoid these races.  If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped,
we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided
that this buffer can go away.

I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other
tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.
