2011-07-07FS-Cache: Add a helper to bulk uncache pages on an inodeDavid Howells
Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond 1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache. This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode cookie. This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors seen during fsstress testing. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:201! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 5, comm: kworker/u:0 Not tainted 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 #1 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010: cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] RSP: 0018:ffff88002ce6dd00 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: ffff88002ef165f0 RBX: ffff88001811f500 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000100 RDI: 0000000000000282 RBP: ffff88002ce6dda0 R08: 0000000000000100 R09: ffffffff81b3a300 R10: 0000ffff00066c0a R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffff88002ae54840 R13: ffff88002ae54840 R14: ffff880029c29c00 R15: ffff88001811f4b0 FS: 00007f394dd32720(0000) GS:ffff88002ef00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007fffcb62ddf8 CR3: 000000001825f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process kworker/u:0 (pid: 5, threadinfo ffff88002ce6c000, task ffff88002ce55cc0) Stack: 0000000000000246 ffff88002ce55cc0 ffff88002ce6dd58 ffff88001815dc00 ffff8800185246c0 ffff88001811f618 ffff880029c29d18 ffff88001811f380 ffff88002ce6dd50 ffffffff814757e4 ffff88002ce6dda0 ffffffff8106ac56 Call Trace: cachefiles_lookup_object+0x78/0xd4 [cachefiles] fscache_lookup_object+0x131/0x16d [fscache] fscache_object_work_func+0x1bc/0x669 [fscache] process_one_work+0x186/0x298 worker_thread+0xda/0x15d kthread+0x84/0x8c kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 RIP cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] ---[ end trace 1d481c9af1804caa ]--- I tested the uncaching by the following means: (1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit 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.

2009-11-19FS-Cache: Handle pages pending storage that get evicted under OOM conditionsDavid Howells
Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache. Under these conditions, vmscan calls the releasepage() function of the netfs, asking if a page can be discarded. The problem is typified by the following trace of a stuck process: kslowd005 D 0000000000000000 0 4253 2 0x00000080 ffff88001b14f370 0000000000000046 ffff880020d0d000 0000000000000007 0000000000000006 0000000000000001 ffff88001b14ffd8 ffff880020d0d2a8 000000000000ddf0 00000000000118c0 00000000000118c0 ffff880020d0d2a8 Call Trace: [<ffffffffa00782d8>] __fscache_wait_on_page_write+0x8b/0xa7 [fscache] [<ffffffff8104c0f1>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<ffffffffa0078240>] ? __fscache_check_page_write+0x63/0x70 [fscache] [<ffffffffa00b671d>] nfs_fscache_release_page+0x4e/0xc4 [nfs] [<ffffffffa00927f0>] nfs_release_page+0x3c/0x41 [nfs] [<ffffffff810885d3>] try_to_release_page+0x32/0x3b [<ffffffff81093203>] shrink_page_list+0x316/0x4ac [<ffffffff8109372b>] shrink_inactive_list+0x392/0x67c [<ffffffff813532fa>] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x100/0x10b [<ffffffff81058df0>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x10c/0x130 [<ffffffff8135330e>] ? mutex_unlock+0x9/0xb [<ffffffff81093aa2>] shrink_list+0x8d/0x8f [<ffffffff81093d1c>] shrink_zone+0x278/0x33c [<ffffffff81052d6c>] ? ktime_get_ts+0xad/0xba [<ffffffff81094b13>] try_to_free_pages+0x22e/0x392 [<ffffffff81091e24>] ? isolate_pages_global+0x0/0x212 [<ffffffff8108e743>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3dc/0x5cf [<ffffffff81089529>] grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x65/0xaa [<ffffffff8110f8c0>] ext3_write_begin+0x78/0x1eb [<ffffffff81089ec5>] generic_file_buffered_write+0x109/0x28c [<ffffffff8103cb69>] ? current_fs_time+0x22/0x29 [<ffffffff8108a509>] __generic_file_aio_write+0x350/0x385 [<ffffffff8108a588>] ? generic_file_aio_write+0x4a/0xae [<ffffffff8108a59e>] generic_file_aio_write+0x60/0xae [<ffffffff810b2e82>] do_sync_write+0xe3/0x120 [<ffffffff8104c0f1>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<ffffffff810b18e1>] ? __dentry_open+0x1a5/0x2b8 [<ffffffff810b1a76>] ? dentry_open+0x82/0x89 [<ffffffffa00e693c>] cachefiles_write_page+0x298/0x335 [cachefiles] [<ffffffffa0077147>] fscache_write_op+0x178/0x2c2 [fscache] [<ffffffffa0075656>] fscache_op_execute+0x7a/0xd1 [fscache] [<ffffffff81082093>] slow_work_execute+0x18f/0x2d1 [<ffffffff8108239a>] slow_work_thread+0x1c5/0x308 [<ffffffff8104c0f1>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<ffffffff810821d5>] ? slow_work_thread+0x0/0x308 [<ffffffff8104be91>] kthread+0x7a/0x82 [<ffffffff8100beda>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8100b87c>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8102ef83>] ? tg_shares_up+0x171/0x227 [<ffffffff8104be17>] ? kthread+0x0/0x82 [<ffffffff8100bed0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 In the above backtrace, the following is happening: (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread (fscache_write_op()). (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform (cachefiles_write_page()). (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs page. (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it can copy the data from the netfs page. (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard (try_to_free_pages()). (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the one it's trying to write out). (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()). (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself. The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the cache without allocating more memory. To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of actually being performed. This means that some data won't make it into the cache this time. To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage() functions used to do with respect to the cache. The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan". There are four counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" - pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage of. What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages. If there are plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

2009-09-23NFS: Propagate 'fsc' mount option through automountsDavid Howells
Propagate the NFS 'fsc' mount option through NFS automounts of various types. This is now required as commit: commit c02d7adf8c5429727a98bad1d039bccad4c61c50 Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Mon Jun 22 15:09:14 2009 -0400 NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace uses VFS-driven automounting to reach all submounts barring the root, thus preventing fscaching from being enabled on any submount other than the root. This patch gets around that by propagating the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag across automounts. If a uniquifier is supplied to a mount then this is propagated to all automounts of that mount too.

2009-04-03NFS: Define and create superblock-level objectsDavid Howells
Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by nfs_server structs). Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself an index into which inode-level objects are inserted. Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option exists this isn't possible. The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of: (1) Certain superblock s_flags. (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for sget(). (3) The volume FSID. (4) The security flavour. (5) The uniquifier length. (6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier. The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6). The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent. This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error otherwise produced.
