  • 0b1b213fc   xfs: event tracing support ... Browse Code »

    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:

  • c626d174c   xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completion ... Browse Code »

    Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due
    to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be
    processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O
    completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a
    deadlock situation.

    Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it
    doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or
    overwrite data.

  • f6d6d4fcd   [XFS] Initial pass at going directly-to-bio on the buffered IO path. This ... Browse Code »

    allows us to submit much larger I/Os instead of sending down lots of small
    buffer_heads. To do this we need to have a rather complicated I/O
    submission and completion tracking infrastructure. Part of the latter has
    been merged already a long time ago for direct I/O support. Part of the
    problem is that we need to track sub-pagesize regions and for that we
    still need buffer_heads for the time beeing. Long-term I hope we can move
    to better data strucutures and/or maybe move this to fs/mpage.c instead of
    having it in XFS. Original patch from Nathan Scott with various updates
    from David Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.
