f2fs crypto: fix racing of accessing encrypted page among

2015-10-13T16:52:34+00:00

different competitors Since we use different page cache (normally inode's page cache for R/W and meta inode's page cache for GC) to cache the same physical block which is belong to an encrypted inode. Writeback of these two page cache should be exclusive, but now we didn't handle writeback state well, so there may be potential racing problem: a) kworker: f2fs_gc: - f2fs_write_data_pages - f2fs_write_data_page - do_write_data_page - write_data_page - f2fs_submit_page_mbio (page#1 in inode's page cache was queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write to new blkaddr) - gc_data_segment - move_encrypted_block - pagecache_get_page (page#2 in meta inode's page cache was cached with the invalid datas of physical block located in new blkaddr) - f2fs_submit_page_mbio (page#1 was submitted, later, page#2 with invalid data will be submitted) b) f2fs_gc: - gc_data_segment - move_encrypted_block - f2fs_submit_page_mbio (page#1 in meta inode's page cache was queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write to new blkaddr) user thread: - f2fs_write_begin - f2fs_submit_page_bio (we submit the request to block layer to update page#2 in inode's page cache with physical block located in new blkaddr, so here we may read gabbage data from new blkaddr since GC hasn't writebacked the page#1 yet) This patch fixes above potential racing problem for encrypted inode.

f2fs: export ra_nid_pages to sysfs

2015-10-12T21:03:43+00:00

After finishing building free nid cache, we will try to readahead asynchronously 4 more pages for the next reloading, the count of readahead nid pages is fixed. In some case, like SMR drive, read less sectors with fixed count each time we trigger RA may be low efficient, since we will face high seeking overhead, so we'd better let user to configure this parameter from sysfs in specific workload.

f2fs: support lower priority asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages

2015-10-12T21:03:15+00:00

Now, we use ra_meta_pages to reads continuous physical blocks as much as possible to improve performance of following reads. However, ra_meta_pages uses a synchronous readahead approach by submitting bio with READ, as READ is with high priority, it can not be used in the case of preloading blocks, and it's not sure when these RAed pages will be used. This patch supports asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages by tagging bio with READA flag in order to allow preloading. Signed-off-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: don't tag REQ_META for temporary non-meta pages

2015-10-12T21:01:46+00:00

In recovery or checkpoint flow, we grab pages temperarily in meta inode's mapping for caching temperary data, actually, datas in these pages were not meta data of f2fs, but still we tag them with REQ_META flag. However, lower device like eMMC may do some optimization for data of such type. So in order to avoid wrong optimization, we'd better remove such flag for temperary non-meta pages.

f2fs: set GFP_NOFS for grab_cache_page

2015-10-12T20:38:03+00:00

For normal inodes, their pages are allocated with __GFP_FS, which can cause filesystem calls when reclaiming memory. This can incur a dead lock condition accordingly. So, this patch addresses this problem by introducing f2fs_grab_cache_page(.., bool for_write), which calls grab_cache_page_write_begin() with AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: fix SSA updates resulting in corruption

2015-10-12T20:38:02+00:00

The f2fs_collapse_range and f2fs_insert_range changes the block addresses directly. But that can cause uncovered SSA updates. In that case, we need to give up to change the block addresses and do buffered writes to keep filesystem consistency. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: add F2FS_GOING_DOWN_METAFLUSH to test power-failure

2015-10-12T20:37:54+00:00

This patch introduces F2FS_GOING_DOWN_METAFLUSH which flushes meta pages like SSA blocks and then blocks all the writes. This can be used by power-failure tests. Reviewed-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim

f2fs: introduce a periodic checkpoint flow

2015-10-09T23:20:57+00:00

This patch introduces a periodic checkpoint feature. Note that, this is not enforcing to conduct checkpoints very strictly in terms of trigger timing, instead just hope to help user experiences. The default value is 60 seconds. Reviewed-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim
