  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"

ext3: Fix deadlock in data=journal mode when fs is frozen

2014-05-22T15:26:11+00:00

When ext3 is used in data=journal mode, syncing filesystem makes sure
all the data is committed in the journal but the data doesn't have to be
checkpointed. ext3_freeze() then takes care of checkpointing all the
data so all buffer heads are clean but pages can still have dangling
dirty bits. So when flusher thread comes later when filesystem is
frozen, it tries to write back dirty pages, ext3_journalled_writepage()
tries to start a transaction and hangs waiting for frozen fs causing a
deadlock because a holder of s_umount semaphore may be waiting for
flusher thread to complete.

The fix is luckily relatively easy. We don't have to start a transaction
in ext3_journalled_writepage() when a page is just dirty (and doesn't
have PageChecked set) because in that case all buffers should be already
mapped (mapping must happen before writing a buffer to the journal) and
it is enough to write them out. This optimization also solves the deadlock
because block_write_full_page() will just find out there's no buffer to
write and do nothing.

mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache

2014-04-03T23:21:01+00:00

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

ext3: Speedup WB_SYNC_ALL pass

2014-03-12T21:48:02+00:00

When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction
commit separately for each inode because ext3_sync_fs() takes care of
forcing commit at the end. Most of the time this slowness doesn't
manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback doesn't leave much to
write but when there are processes aggressively creating new files and
several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness can be noticeable. In the
following test script sync(1) takes around 6 minutes when there are two
ext3 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA drive. After this patch sync
is about twice as fast in the default data=ordered mode. For
data=writeback mode we have even bigger speedup.

function run_writers
{
  for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
    mkdir $1/dir$i
    for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
      dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null
    done &
  done
}

for dir in "$@"; do
  run_writers $dir
done

sleep 40
time sync

ext3: Update outdated comment before ext3_ordered_writepage()

2014-03-04T11:19:26+00:00

The comment is heavily outdated. The recursion into the filesystem isn't
possible because we use GFP_NOFS for our allocations, the issue about
block_write_full_page() dirtying tail page is long resolved as well
(that function doesn't dirty buffers at all), and finally we don't start
a transaction if all blocks are already allocated and mapped.
