fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write()

2014-02-09T20:18:09+00:00

It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
	pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
	pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead.  Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().

All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().

The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.

direct-io: Handle O_(D)SYNC AIO

2013-09-04T13:23:46+00:00

Call generic_write_sync() from the deferred I/O completion handler if
O_DSYNC is set for a write request.  Also make sure various callers
don't call generic_write_sync if the direct I/O code returns
-EIOCBQUEUED.

Based on an earlier patch from Jan Kara  with updates from
Jeff Moyer  and Darrick J. Wong .

jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_file_inode()

2013-08-17T01:19:41+00:00

Commit 0713ed0cde76438d05849f1537d3aab46e099475 added
jbd2_journal_file_inode() call into ext4_block_zero_page_range().
However that function gets called from truncate path and thus inode
needn't have jinode attached - that happens in ext4_file_open() but
the file needn't be ever open since mount. Calling
jbd2_journal_file_inode() without jinode attached results in the oops.

We fix the problem by attaching jinode to inode also in ext4_truncate()
and ext4_punch_hole() when we are going to zero out partial blocks.

vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules

2013-07-03T12:23:27+00:00

For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
simliar things at ceph_llseek().

To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
underlying file systems.

Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.

[AV: call it vfs_setpos(), don't bring the removed 'inode' argument back]

v2->v1:
- Add kernel-doc comments for lseek_execute()
- Call lseek_execute() in ceph->llseek()

ext4: fix overflows in SEEK_HOLE, SEEK_DATA implementations

2013-05-31T23:37:56+00:00

ext4_lblk_t is just u32 so multiplying it by blocksize can easily
overflow for files larger than 4 GB. Fix that by properly typing the
block offsets before shifting.

ext4: fix fio regression

2013-05-03T06:15:52+00:00

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced
by commit:

  f7fec032aa ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree

The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write
test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call
stack is:

  rb_next
  ext4_es_find_delayed_extent
  ext4_map_blocks
  _ext4_get_block
  ext4_get_block_write
  __blockdev_direct_IO
  ext4_direct_IO
  generic_file_direct_write
  __generic_file_aio_write
  ext4_file_write
  aio_rw_vect_retry
  aio_run_iocb
  do_io_submit
  sys_io_submit
  system_call_fastpath
  io_submit
  td_io_getevents
  io_u_queued_complete
  thread_main
  main
  __libc_start_main

The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an
upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found.
When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state
tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.
