Hidehiro Kawai 0e4fb5e283 ext3: add an option to control error handling on file data
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because most of
applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical systems.  On the
other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable.  So this patch
introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.

If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.

Hidehiro Kawai 885e353c74 jbd: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abort
Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled
whether the journal has aborted or not.  Eventually these buffers will be
written-back to the filesystem by pdflush.  This means some metadata
buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal
aborts.  So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same
time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state.  Additionally,
replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the
filesystem partly.  Because, if the journal aborts, journaled metadata are
preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed
metadata.  This would also break the consistency of the filesystem.

This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort
by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers.  Thus, no metadata
buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

Hidehiro Kawai d1645e526a jbd: abort when failed to log metadata buffers
If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and succeeded
to write the commit record, stale data can be written back to the
filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase.

To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers, abort the
journal before writing the commit record.

Hidehiro Kawai cbe5f466f6 jbd: don't abort if flushing file data failed
In ordered mode, the current jbd aborts the journal if a file data buffer
has an error.  But this behavior is unintended, and we found that it has
been adopted accidentally.

This patch undoes it and just calls printk() instead of aborting the
journal.  Additionally, set AS_EIO into the address_space object of the
failed buffer which is submitted by journal_do_submit_data() so that
fsync() can get -EIO.

Missing error checkings are also added to inform errors on file data
buffers to the user.  The following buffers are targeted.

  (a) the buffer which has already been written out by pdflush
  (b) the buffer which has been unlocked before scanned in the
      t_locked_list loop

Toshiyuki Okajima fc80c44277 jbd: positively dispose the unmapped data buffers in journal_commit_transaction()
After ext3-ordered files are truncated, there is a possibility that the
pages which cannot be estimated still remain.  Remaining pages can be
released when the system has really few memory.  So, it is not memory
leakage.  But the resource management software etc.  may not work
correctly.

It is possible that journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release the buffers, and
the pages to which they belong because they are attached to a commiting
transaction and journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release them.  To release
such the buffers and the pages later, journal_unmap_buffer() leaves it to
journal_commit_transaction().  (journal_unmap_buffer() puts the mark
'BH_Freed' to the buffers so that journal_commit_transaction() can
identify whether they can be released or not.)

In the journalled mode and the writeback mode, jbd does with only metadata
buffers.  But in the ordered mode, jbd does with metadata buffers and also
data buffers.

Actually, journal_commit_transaction() releases only the metadata buffers
of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer(), and also releases
the pages to which they belong if possible.

As a result, the data buffers of which release is demanded by
journal_unmap_buffer() remain after a transaction commits.  And also the
pages to which they belong remain.

Such the remained pages don't have mapping any longer.  Due to this fact,
there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated remain.

The metadata buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which
they belong can be released at 'JBD: commit phase 7'.

Therefore, by applying the same code into 'JBD: commit phase 2' (where the
data buffers are done with), journal_commit_transaction() can also release
the data buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong.

As a result, all the buffers marked 'BH_Freed' can be released, and also
all the pages to which these buffers belong can be released at
journal_commit_transaction().  So, the page which cannot be estimated is
lost.

Mingming Cao 3f31fddfa2 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when
the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data
buffer to flush to disk.  If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers()
request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as
error and return back to the caller.  We have seen the directo IO failed
due to this race.  Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the
buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the
releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().

With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to
indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed,
let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the
current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

Josef Bacik 5b9a499d77 jbd: fix possible journal overflow issues
There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to
its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers
counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter.

This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging
buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes
negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we
actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be
enough room for them.  In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost
impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space.

The fix is to only
refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions
BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way
to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer.

This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible
that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only
gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if
the buffer was modified.  The assert will help catch if this problem occurs.
Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running
postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.  Thank you,

Josef Bacik 5bc833feaa jbd: fix the way the b_modified flag is cleared
Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.

The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd
lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.

This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to.  This patch
removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
not then we know we didn't use it.

That will be important for the next patch in this series.  Tested thoroughly
by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

Neil Brown 28ae094c62 ext3 can fail badly when device stops accepting BIO_RW_BARRIER requests
Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response
to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests.  They might start out accepting such requests
but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more.

ext3 (and other filesystems) deal with this by always testing if
BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write
requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes
to complete).

However there is a bug in the handling for this for ext3.

When ext3 (jbd actually) decides to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it
sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head.  If the request completes
successfully, the flag STAYS SET.

Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been
reconfigured to not accept barriers.  This write will then fail, but the
"other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be
treated as fatal.

This can be seen without having to reconfigure a device at exactly the
wrong time by putting:

		if (buffer_ordered(bh))
			printk("OH DEAR, and ordered buffer\n");

in the while loop in "commit phase 5" of journal_commit_transaction.

If it ever prints the "OH DEAR ..." message (as it does sometimes for
me), then that request could (in different circumstances) have failed
with EOPNOTSUPP, but that isn't tested for.

My proposed fix is to clear the buffer_ordered flag after it has been
used, as in the following patch.

Nick Piggin 95c354fe9f spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.

Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.

Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

Jan Kara d4beaf4ab5 jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.

If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).

We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.

Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
changes in future...

Jose R. Santos 9ad163ae0d JBD: Fix JBD warnings when compiling with CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG
Note from Mingming's JBD2 fix:

Noticed all warnings are occurs when the debug level is 0.  Then found the
"jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b

changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the
jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0.  Thus
the compile warning occurs.

Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to int,
but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where calling
debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value to be u8
type.

Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy,
kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the jbd2_journal_enable_debug
is set to 0.  But this is not the case.

The fix is change the level of debugging to 1.  The same should fixed in
ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we
probably should fix it all together.

Jose R. Santos c2a9159cdd jbd: config_jbd_debug cannot create /proc entry
The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that
one directory deep.  This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no
proc file is created.

Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to
debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable.
The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug.

This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations.  When something

reclaimed on demand, but not moved.  i.e.  they can be migrated by deleting
them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

Hisashi Hifumi 6f5a9da1af [PATCH] jbd: wait for already submitted t_sync_datalist buffer to complete
In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.

But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.

Following patch solves this problem.  If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many of these

Eric Sandeen f58a74dca8 [PATCH] jbd: journal_dirty_data re-check for unmapped buffers
When running several fsx's and other filesystem stress tests, we found
cases where an unmapped buffer was still being sent to submit_bh by the
ext3 dirty data journaling code.

I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a
truncate which would unmap the buffer in question.

Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already
unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the
state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle
of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer.

By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we
should avoid these races.  If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped,
we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided
that this buffer can go away.

I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other
tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.

                    -> start_this_handle()
		    returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++;

    -> ext3_journal_stop()

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be
16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block
containers.  Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require
journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common.
Still, should fix.

(some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well).

I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be
safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block
boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not
worrying about it at this point.

Jan Kara 3998b9301d [PATCH] jbd: fix commit of ordered data buffers
Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is
locked, it is being written to disk.  But this is not true and hence it can
lead to a potential data loss on crash.  Also the code didn't count with
the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing
transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the
committing transaction.  Finally it could possibly happen that we tried
writing out one buffer several times.

The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the
data commit code.  We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers
needing write out and store them in an array.  Buffers are also immediately
refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed).  When
the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all
accumulated buffers for IO.

[suitable for 2.6.18.x around the 2.6.19-rc2 timeframe]

JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs.  With
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127

So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from

Jan Kara 9ada734098 [PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction()
Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).

!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.

Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction).  So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.

And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty.  Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction.  But that should do no harm.

Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list.  It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

Andrew Morton fe1dcbc4f3 [PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching
Ben points out that:

  When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
  significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle.  The patch below
  results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
  IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.

So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write.  If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.

(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)

Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:

/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name

Unpatched:
	40 seconds
Patched:
	35 seconds
Batching disabled:
	35 seconds

This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case.  With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.

Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE).  This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.

The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is

under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is

attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the
transaction is going to be committed.

The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it.
Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to
prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with
IO happening).

Mark Fasheh cbf0d27a13 [PATCH] kjournald: missing JFS_UNMOUNT check
It seems that kjournald() may be missing a check of the JFS_UNMOUNT flag
before calling schedule().  This showed up in testing of OCFS2 recovery
where our recovery thread would hang in journal_kill_thread() called from
journal_destroy() because kjournald never got a chance to read the flag to
shut down before the schedule().

Zach pointed out the missing check which led me to hack up this trivial
patch.  It's been tested many times now and I have yet to reproduce the
hang, which was happening very regularly before.

<mild rant>
I'm guessing that we could really use some wait_event() calls with helper
functions in, well, most of jbd these days which would make a ton of the
wait code there vastly cleaner.
</mild rant>

As for why this doesn't happen in ext3 (or OCFS2 during normal
mount/unmount of the local nodes journal), I think it may that the specific
timing of events in the ocfs2 recovery thread exposes a race there.
Because ocfs2_replay_journal() is only interested in playing back the
journal, initialization and shutdown happen very quicky with no other
metadata put into that specific journal.

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean

The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test

Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on

are safe to just remove the assignment in the end.  It can happen that 'jh'
will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter

akpm@osdl.org d13df84ff7 [PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fix
This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug.

It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch

That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal
list during commit.  It took out the old code which was based on a single
list.

The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers
which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's
t_sync_datalist list.  The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring
redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good.

But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're
treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the
committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent
truncate-vs-commit.

The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers
are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just
leaves those buffers alone.  truncate will remove the page from its mapping
and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an
illegal state for a page.  The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they
are removed from t_locked_list.  The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim
these pages.

The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the
committing transaction's t_locked_list.  These buffers have been written and
I/O has completed.  We can take them off the transaction and undirty them
within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer().
