2016-06-30jbd2: track more dependencies on transaction commitJan Kara1-0/+6
So far we were tracking only dependency on transaction commit due to starting a new handle (which may require commit to start a new transaction). Now add tracking also for other cases where we wait for transaction commit. This way lockdep can catch deadlocks e. g. because we call jbd2_journal_stop() for a synchronous handle with some locks held which rank below transaction start.

2016-06-30jbd2: move lockdep tracking to journal_sJan Kara1-4/+13
Currently lockdep map is tracked in each journal handle. To be able to expand lockdep support to cover also other cases where we depend on transaction commit and where handle is not available, move lockdep map into struct journal_s. Since this makes the lockdep map shared for all handles, we have to use rwsem_acquire_read() for acquisitions now. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2016-04-24jbd2: add support for avoiding data writes during transaction commitsJan Kara1-2/+11
Currently when filesystem needs to make sure data is on permanent storage before committing a transaction it adds inode to transaction's inode list. During transaction commit, jbd2 writes back all dirty buffers that have allocated underlying blocks and waits for the IO to finish. However when doing writeback for delayed allocated data, we allocate blocks and immediately submit the data. Thus asking jbd2 to write dirty pages just unnecessarily adds more work to jbd2 possibly writing back other redirtied blocks. Add support to jbd2 to allow filesystem to ask jbd2 to only wait for outstanding data writes before committing a transaction and thus avoid unnecessary writes.

2015-10-19ext4, jbd2: ensure entering into panic after recording an error in superblockDaeho Jeong1-0/+1
If a EXT4 filesystem utilizes JBD2 journaling and an error occurs, the journaling will be aborted first and the error number will be recorded into JBD2 superblock and, finally, the system will enter into the panic state in "errors=panic" option. But, in the rare case, this sequence is little twisted like the below figure and it will happen that the system enters into panic state, which means the system reset in mobile environment, before completion of recording an error in the journal superblock. In this case, e2fsck cannot recognize that the filesystem failure occurred in the previous run and the corruption wouldn't be fixed.

Commit 6f6a6fda2945 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails" changed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to return EIO when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy() just loops in an infinite loop. Fix jbd2_journal_destroy() to cleanup journal checkpoint lists of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2015-06-15jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock failsJoseph Qi1-2/+2
If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a normal case. In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts. So in above case we have to return the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and prevent the other node to do update first. And only after recovering journal it can do the new updates.

2014-08-29jbd2: fix descriptor block size handling errors with journal_csumDarrick J. Wong1-5/+25
It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk format of journal checksum v2. The foremost is that the function to calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big. This causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the feature flags. Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to determine 64bitness. Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so many pieces. Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

2013-06-04jbd2: transaction reservation supportJan Kara1-4/+24
In some cases we cannot start a transaction because of locking constraints and passing started transaction into those places is not handy either because we could block transaction commit for too long. Transaction reservation is designed to solve these issues. It reserves a handle with given number of credits in the journal and the handle can be later attached to the running transaction without blocking on commit or checkpointing. Reserved handles do not block transaction commit in any way, they only reduce maximum size of the running transaction (because we have to always be prepared to accomodate request for attaching reserved handle).

2013-06-04jbd2: cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transactionJan Kara1-6/+26
__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd. jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control blocks as a fraction of free space. Since results of these two functions are always only compared against each other, this works correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so that jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free space in the journal (with the committing transaction already subtracted).

2013-06-04jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffersJan Kara1-0/+28
Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes to the buffer that is just written to the journal). This can take unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from BJ_Shadow list. (e.g. We wait for all data buffers in the transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.) Also this creates a dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when implementing transaction reservation. So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that buffer is complete. This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO completion.

2013-04-04ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparoundTheodore Ts'o1-0/+1
In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large (2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap, causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail. Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily", attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit(). Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function, jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's. As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for ext4's scalability.

2013-02-10jbd2: use module parameters instead of debugfs for jbd_debugTheodore Ts'o1-2/+1
There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all, we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one more thing that might fail while loading the jbd2 module. Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible. Ultimately we want to move away from using jbd_debug() towards tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the code base.

2013-02-07jbd2: track request delay statisticsTheodore Ts'o1-0/+7
Track the delay between when we first request that the commit begin and when it actually begins, so we can see how much of a gap exists. In theory, this should just be the remaining scheduling quantuum of the thread which requested the commit (assuming it was not a synchronous operation which triggered the commit request) plus scheduling overhead; however, it's possible that real time processes might get in the way of letting the kjournald thread from executing.

2012-12-25ext4: fix deadlock in journal_unmap_buffer()Jan Kara1-1/+1
We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer() because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if necessary.

2012-11-08jbd2: remove VLAIS usage from JBD2 codeBehan Webster1-1/+7
The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instance the Clang compiler). Since ctx is always a 32-bit CRC, hard coding a size of 4 bytes accomplishes the same thing without the use of VLAIS.

2012-08-06ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err()Theodore Ts'o1-0/+1
After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in memory, we never flushed it out to disk). This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this confused state, either.

2012-03-14jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commitJan Kara1-0/+1
Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.

2012-03-14jbd2: issue cache flush after checkpointing even with internal journalJan Kara1-1/+5
When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal superblock in these cases. A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that.

2012-03-13jbd2: split updating of journal superblock and marking journal emptyJan Kara1-1/+1
There are three case of updating journal superblock. In the first case, we want to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno. Split these cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward and later patches will make the distinction even more important.

2011-12-29jbd2: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction startedYongqiang Yang1-0/+1
Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused. However, this can tigger a false journal error. Consider a situation when a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file. At this moment, user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file. The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers. We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked buffers in current transaction any more.
