  • Fix the incorrect use of igrab() inside the i_lock in NFS and Ceph‥

    If we are already holding the i_lock, we have a reference to the
    inode so we can safely use ihold() to gain an extra reference. This
    avoids hangs due to lock recursion on the i_lock now that the
    inode_lock is gone and igrab() uses the i_lock itself.

  • We used to infer alignment of IOs within a page based on the file offset,
    which assumed they matched. This broke with direct IO that was not aligned
    to pages (e.g., 512-byte aligned IO). We were also trusting the alignment
    specified in the OSD reply, which could have been adjusted by the server.

    Explicitly specify the page alignment when setting up OSD IO requests.

  • This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef
    (writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
    no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
    ext4 tracing interface.

    The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
    flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
    IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.

    The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
    redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.

    We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
    a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
    b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
    that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
    is unfair in terms of LRU age.

  • This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a
    separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This
    is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces
    of the interface change as well:

    - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
    captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
    and file system specific pieces.
    - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
    two pieces.
    - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
    messages (mds map, in this case).
    - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
    ceph_fs_client).

    No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got
    cleaned up in the refactoring process.

  • The cap_snap creation/queueing relies on both the current i_head_snapc
    _and_ the i_snap_realm pointers being correct, so that the new cap_snap
    can properly reference the old context and the new i_head_snapc can be
    updated to reference the new snaprealm's context. To fix this, we:

    - move inodes completely to the new (split) realm so that i_snap_realm
    is correct, and
    - generate the new snapc's _before_ queueing the cap_snaps in
    ceph_update_snap_trace().

  • We used to use i_head_snapc to keep track of which snapc the current epoch
    of dirty data was dirtied under. It is used by queue_cap_snap to set up
    the cap_snap. However, since we queue cap snaps for any dirty caps, not
    just for dirty file data, we need to keep a valid i_head_snapc anytime
    we have dirty|flushing caps. This fixes a NULL pointer deref in
    queue_cap_snap when writing back dirty caps without data (e.g.,
    snaptest-authwb.sh).

  • This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page state
    and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means
    that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs. This
    has happened once already.

    one; while function ceph_client is confusing with "struct ceph_client",

  • Following Nick Piggin patches in btrfs, pagecache pages should be
    allocated with __page_cache_alloc, so they obey pagecache memory
    policies.

    Also, using add_to_page_cache_lru instead of using a private
    pagevec where applicable.

  • The ->writepages writeback_control is not still valid in the writepages
    completion. We were touching it solely to adjust pages_skipped when there
    was a writeback error (EIO, ENOSPC, EPERM due to bad osd credentials),
    causing an oops in the writeback code shortly thereafter. Updating
    pages_skipped on error isn't correct anyway, so let's just rip out this
    (clearly broken) code to pass the wbc to the completion.

  • On snap deletion, we don't regenerate ceph_cap_snaps for inodes with dirty
    pages because deletion does not affect metadata writeback. However, we
    did run into problems when we went to write back the pages because the
    'oldest' snapc is determined by the oldest cap_snap, and that may be the
    newer snapc that reflects the deletion. This caused confusion and an
    infinite loop in ceph_update_writeable_page().

    Change the snapc checks to allow writeback of any snapc that is equal to
    OR older than the 'oldest' snapc.

    When there are no cap_snaps, we were also using the realm's latest snapc
    for writeback, which complicates ceph_put_wrbufffer_cap_refs(). Instead,
    use i_head_snapc, the most snapc used for the most recent ('head') data.
    This makes the writeback snapc (ceph_osd_request.r_snapc) _always_ match a
    capsnap or i_head_snapc.

    Also, in writepags_finish(), drop the snapc referenced by the _page_
    and do not assume it matches the request snapc (it may not anymore).

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • The ceph address space methods are concerned primarily with managing
    the dirty page accounting in the inode, which (among other things)
    must keep track of which snapshot context each page was dirtied in,
    and ensure that dirty data is written out to the OSDs in snapshort
    order.

    A writepage() on a page that is not currently writeable due to
    snapshot writeback ordering constraints is ignored (it was presumably
    called from kswapd).
