2009-09-14EDAC, AMD: carve out decoding of MCi_STATUS ErrorCodeBorislav Petkov2-19/+22
This is the MCE error code from the MCi_STATUS banks, bits [15:0] which describe what type of error was encountered: GART TLB, Memory or Bus error. The semantics of those bits are identical across all MCE banks so decode those separately, irrespectively of MCE type. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

2009-09-14EDAC: move MCE error descriptions to EDAC coreBorislav Petkov5-148/+122
This is in preparation of adding AMD-specific MCE decoding functionality to the EDAC core. The error decoding macros originate from the AMD64 EDAC driver albeit in a simplified and cleaned up version here. While at it, add macros to generate the error description strings and use them in the error type decoders directly which removes a bunch of code and makes the decoding functions much more readable. Also, fix strings and shorten macro names. Remove superfluous htlink_msgs. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-09-14fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsyncChristoph Hellwig1-4/+1
Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete. What sounds like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems. For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before we can write out the metadata. For old fashionen filesystems that instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized blocks after a crash. While a few filesystems that need it already wait for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling. Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree: - spufs_mfc_fsync: - ps3flash_fsync: - vol_cdev_fsync: - printer_fsync: - fb_deferred_io_fsync: - bad_file_fsync: - simple_sync_file: don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are purely in-memory. - simple_fsync: - file_fsync: - affs_file_fsync: - fat_file_fsync: - jfs_fsync: - ubifs_fsync: - reiserfs_dir_fsync: - reiserfs_sync_file: never touch pagecache themselves. We need to wait before if we do not want to expose stale data after an allocation. - afs_fsync: - fuse_fsync_common: do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from proper semantics - block_fsync: Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode. Because we now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync. So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would be an improvement. - btrfs_sync_file: - cifs_fsync: - xfs_file_fsync: need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from doing it outside i_mutex. - coda_fsync: - ecryptfs_fsync: - exofs_file_fsync: - shm_fsync: only passes the fsync through to the lower layer - ext3_sync_file: doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing. - ext4_sync_file: would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late i_size updates. Otherwise the ext3 comment applies. currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way, could benefit from doing it properly. - gfs2_fsync: not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there. Currently writes back data asynchronously itself. Needs some major audit. - hostfs_fsync: just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD. Without the wait before data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky. - hpfs_file_fsync: - ncp_fsync: no-ops. Dangerous before and after. - jffs2_fsync: just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data. - nfs_fsync_dir: just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous - nfs_file_fsync: only writes out data??? Looks very odd. - nilfs_sync_file: looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code - ntfs_dir_fsync: - ntfs_file_fsync: appear to do their own data writeback. Very convoluted code. - ocfs2_sync_file: does it's own data writeback, but no wait. probably needs the wait. - smb_fsync: according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs the wait before. This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers. Note that most filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the gems found in this very brief audit.

IS_SYNC inode Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function. Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire it before it returns.

2009-09-14vfs: Remove syncing from generic_file_direct_write() and ↵Jan Kara1-29/+6
generic_file_buffered_write() generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() called generic_osync_inode() if it was called on O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode. But this is superfluous since generic_file_aio_write() does the syncing as well. Also XFS and OCFS2 which call these functions directly handle syncing themselves. So let's have a single place where syncing happens: generic_file_aio_write(). We slightly change the behavior by syncing only the range of file to which the write happened for buffered writes but that should be all that is required.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems, but a filesystem created purely for Linux. Nor is it a flash filesystem but that for generic block devices. So, this moves nilfs outside the misc category as I responded in LKML "Re: Why does NILFS2 hide under Miscellaneous filesystems?" (Message-Id: <20090716.002526.93465395.ryusuke@osrg.net>).

2009-09-14nilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operationsRyusuke Konishi4-299/+167
The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free, or modify virtual block addresses. This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the every wrapper function. This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of compiler optimization.

Even though many btree functions take a btree object as their first argument, most of them are not used in their functions. This sticky use of the btree argument is hurting code readability and giving the possibility of inefficient code generation. So, this removes the unnecessary btree arguments.

2009-09-14nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3Jiro SEKIBA2-7/+21
This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period. This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time. When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments. Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction, however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction. This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from transaction lock and put it before the transaction. I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition. I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks before starting the benchmark. Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and bellow is average of those numers. According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated. However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved. This can address a few seconds write freeze. - random write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.843ms max 680.406ms avg 3.050ms - random write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.843ms -> 100.00% max 380.490ms -> 55.90% avg 3.233ms -> 106.00% - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.736ms max 774.343ms avg 2.883ms - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.720ms -> 97.80% max 644.280ms-> 83.20% avg 3.130ms -> 108.50% -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- protection_period 150 selection_policy timestamp # timestamp in ascend order nsegments_per_clean 2 cleaning_interval 2 retry_interval 60 use_mmap log_priority info -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

nilfs2: In procedure 'nilfs_get_sb()', when a nilfs filesysttem is mounted for the first time, local variable 'nilfs->ns_last_cno' is used before loading the latest checkpoint number from disk (in 'nilfs_fill_super'). 'nilfs->ns_last_cno' is assigned to 'sd.cno', but 'sd.cno' has never been used in the procedure.
