2011-08-01Btrfs: check the nodatasum flag when writing compressed filesLi Zefan1-4/+10
If mounting with nodatasum option, we won't csum file data for general write or direct-io write, and this rule should also be applied when writing compressed files. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2011-08-01Btrfs: don't print the leaf if we had an errorJosef Bacik1-1/+3
In __btrfs_free_extent we will print the leaf if we fail to find the extent we wanted, but the problem is if we get an error we won't have a leaf so often this leads to a NULL pointer dereference and we lose the error that actually occurred. So only print the leaf if ret > 0, which means we didn't find the item we were looking for but we didn't error either. This way the error is preserved.

2011-08-01btrfs: make btrfs_set_root_node voidMark Fasheh2-5/+4
This is fairly trivial - btrfs_set_root_node() - always returns zero so we can just make it void. All callers ignore the return code now anyway. I also made sure to check that none of the functions that btrfs_set_root_node() calls returns an error that we might have needed to catch and pass back.

2011-08-01Btrfs: fix oops while writing data to SSD partitionsliubo1-1/+3
Here I have a two SSD-partitions btrfs, and they are defaultly set to "data=raid0, metadata=raid1", then I try to fill my btrfs partition till "No space left on device", via "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/btrfs/tmp". I get an oops panic from kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:5199!, which refers to find_free_extent's BUG_ON(index != get_block_group_index(block_group)); In SSD mode, in order to find enough space to alloc, we may check the block_group cache which has been checked sometime before, but the index is not updated, where it hits the BUG_ON.

2011-08-01btrfs: Make extent-io callbacks that never fail return voidJeff Mahoney3-62/+34
The set/clear bit and the extent split/merge hooks only ever return 0. Changing them to return void simplifies the error handling cases later. This patch changes the hook prototypes, the single implementation of each, and the functions that call them to return void instead. Since all four of these hooks execute under a spinlock, they're necessarily simple. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2011-07-27Btrfs: use the commit_root for reading free_space_inode crcsChris Mason3-19/+28
Now that we are using regular file crcs for the free space cache, we can deadlock if we try to read the free_space_inode while we are updating the crc tree. This commit fixes things by using the commit_root to read the crcs. This is safe because we the free space cache file would already be loaded if that block group had been changed in the current transaction. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-07-27Btrfs: reduce extent_state lock contention for metadataChris Mason1-14/+41
For metadata buffers that don't straddle pages (all of them), btrfs can safely use the page uptodate bits and extent_buffer uptodate bit instead of needing to use the extent_state tree. This greatly reduces contention on the state tree lock. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-07-27Btrfs: remove lockdep magic from btrfs_next_leafChris Mason1-31/+5

2011-07-27Btrfs: make a lockdep class for each rootChris Mason4-38/+79
This patch was originally from Tejun Heo. lockdep complains about the btrfs locking because we sometimes take btree locks from two different trees at the same time. The current classes are based only on level in the btree, which isn't enough information for lockdep to figure out if the lock is safe. This patch makes a class for each type of tree, and lumps all the FS trees that actually have files and directories into the same class. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-07-27Btrfs: switch the btrfs tree locks to reader/writerChris Mason9-218/+431
The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant lock contention, especially in the root node. This commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer lock. The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics count the number of blocking readers or writers at any given time. It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs to decide when it should continue spinning. In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention on the root node lock. We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-07-27Btrfs: fix deadlock when throttling transactionsJosef Bacik1-2/+9
Hit this nice little deadlock. What happens is this __btrfs_end_transaction with throttle set, --use_count so it equals 0 btrfs_commit_transaction <somebody else actually manages to start the commit> btrfs_end_transaction --use_count so now its -1 <== BAD we just return and wait on the transaction This is bad because we just return after our use_count is -1 and don't let go of our num_writer count on the transaction, so the guy committing the transaction just sits there forever. Fix this by inc'ing our use_count if we're going to call commit_transaction so that if we call btrfs_end_transaction it's valid.

2011-07-27Btrfs: stop using highmem for extent_buffersChris Mason7-378/+52
The extent_buffers have a very complex interface where we use HIGHMEM for metadata and try to cache a kmap mapping to access the memory. The next commit adds reader/writer locks, and concurrent use of this kmap cache would make it even more complex. This commit drops the ability to use HIGHMEM with extent buffers, and rips out all of the related code. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2011-07-20signal: align __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCUPaul E. McKenney1-6/+13
The __lock_task_sighand() function calls rcu_read_lock() with interrupts and preemption enabled, but later calls rcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled. It is therefore possible that this RCU read-side critical section will be preempted and later RCU priority boosted, which means that rcu_read_unlock() will call rt_mutex_unlock() in order to deboost itself, but with interrupts disabled. This results in lockdep splats, so this commit nests the RCU read-side critical section within the interrupt-disabled region of code. This prevents the RCU read-side critical section from being preempted, and thus prevents the attempt to deboost with interrupts disabled. It is quite possible that a better long-term fix is to make rt_mutex_unlock() disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-07-20softirq,rcu: Inform RCU of irq_exit() activityPeter Zijlstra2-3/+11
The rcu_read_unlock_special() function relies on in_irq() to exclude scheduler activity from interrupt level. This fails because exit_irq() can invoke the scheduler after clearing the preempt_count() bits that in_irq() uses to determine that it is at interrupt level. This situation can result in failures as follows: $task IRQ SoftIRQ rcu_read_lock() /* do stuff */ <preempt> |= UNLOCK_BLOCKED rcu_read_unlock() --t->rcu_read_lock_nesting irq_enter(); /* do stuff, don't use RCU */ irq_exit(); sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET); invoke_softirq() ttwu(); spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) rcu_read_lock(); /* do stuff */ rcu_read_unlock(); rcu_read_unlock_special() rcu_report_exp_rnp() ttwu() spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) /* deadlock */ rcu_read_unlock_special(t); Ed can simply trigger this 'easy' because invoke_softirq() immediately does a ttwu() of ksoftirqd/# instead of doing the in-place softirq stuff first, but even without that the above happens. Cure this by also excluding softirqs from the rcu_read_unlock_special() handler and ensuring the force_irqthreads ksoftirqd/# wakeup is done from full softirq context. [ Alternatively, delaying the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting decrement until after the special handling would make the thing more robust in the face of interrupts as well. And there is a separate patch for that. ] Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-and-tested-by: Ed Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-07-20sched: Add irq_{enter,exit}() to scheduler_ipi()Peter Zijlstra1-6/+38
Ensure scheduler_ipi() calls irq_{enter,exit} when it does some actual work. Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path. Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are called so that we don't confuse things. This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit. Explicit examples of things going wrong are: sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this callback, time is stuck in the past. RCU -- needs in_irq() to work in order to avoid some nasty deadlocks Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-07-20rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlersPaul E. McKenney1-5/+24
The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

2011-07-20sched: Avoid creating superfluous NUMA domains on non-NUMA systemsPeter Zijlstra1-0/+2
When creating sched_domains, stop when we've covered the entire target span instead of continuing to create domains, only to later find they're redundant and throw them away again. This avoids single node systems from touching funny NUMA sched_domain creation code and reduces the risks of the new SD_OVERLAP code.

2011-07-20sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spansPeter Zijlstra3-29/+132
Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst each-other. This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the 16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap. Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible. In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power structure such that we can uniquely track the power.
