2020-08-06ext4: add prefetching for block allocation bitmapsAlex Zhuravlev1-3/+11
This should significantly improve bitmap loading, especially for flex groups as it tries to load all bitmaps within a flex.group instead of one by one synchronously. Prefetching is done in 8 * flex_bg groups, so it should be 8 read-ahead reads for a single allocating thread. At the end of allocation the thread waits for read-ahead completion and initializes buddy information so that read-aheads are not lost in case of memory pressure. At cr=0 the number of prefetching IOs is limited per allocation context to prevent a situation when mballoc loads thousands of bitmaps looking for a perfect group and ignoring groups with good chunks. Together with the patch "ext4: limit scanning of uninitialized groups" the mount time (which includes few tiny allocations) of a 1PB filesystem is reduced significantly: 0% full 50%-full unpatched patched mount time 33s 9279s 563s [ Restructured by tytso; removed the state flags in the allocation context, so it can be used to lazily prefetch the allocation bitmaps immediately after the file system is mounted. Skip prefetching block groups which are uninitialized. Finally pass in the REQ_RAHEAD flag to the block layer while prefetching. ] Signed-off-by: Alex Zhuravlev <bzzz@whamcloud.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@whamcloud.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

With commit 044e6e3d74a3: "ext4: don't update checksum of new initialized bitmaps" the buffer valid bit will get set without actually setting up the checksum for the allocation bitmap, since the checksum will get calculated once we actually allocate an inode or block. If we are doing this, then we need to (re-)check the verified bit after we take the block group lock. Otherwise, we could race with another process reading and verifying the bitmap, which would then complain about the checksum being invalid. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1780137 Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

That's because we're not set up to journal those changes. Instead, just set the verified bit on the bitmap block, so that it's not necessary to validate the checksum.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Now that we no longer try to reserve metadata blocks for delayed allocations (which tended to overestimate the required number of blocks significantly), we really don't need retry allocations when the disk is very full as aggressively any more.

2016-05-13ext4: fix race in transient ENOSPC detectionJan Kara1-1/+2
When there are blocks to free in the running transaction, block allocator can return ENOSPC although the filesystem has some blocks to free. We use ext4_should_retry_alloc() to force commit of the current transaction and return whether anything was committed so that it makes sense to retry the allocation. However the transaction may get committed after block allocation fails but before we call ext4_should_retry_alloc(). So ext4_should_retry_alloc() returns false because there is nothing to commit and we wrongly return ENOSPC. Fix the race by unconditionally returning 1 from ext4_should_retry_alloc() when we tried to commit a transaction. This should not add any unnecessary retries since we had a transaction running a while ago when trying to allocate blocks and we want to retry the allocation once that transaction has committed anyway.

2015-06-08ext4: verify block bitmap even after fresh initializationLukas Czerner1-2/+2
If we want to rely on the buffer_verified() flag of the block bitmap buffer, we have to set it consistently. However currently if we're initializing uninitialized block bitmap in ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() we're not going to set buffer verified at all. We can do this by simply setting the flag on the buffer, but I think it's actually better to run ext4_validate_block_bitmap() to make sure that what we did in the ext4_init_block_bitmap() is right. So run ext4_validate_block_bitmap() even after the block bitmap initialization. Also bail out early from ext4_validate_block_bitmap() if we see corrupt bitmap, since we already know it's corrupt and we do not need to verify that.

2014-09-05ext4: prepare to drop EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVEDTheodore Ts'o1-2/+1
The EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED flag was originally implemented because it was too hard to make sure the mballoc and get_block flags could be reliably passed down through all of the codepaths that end up calling ext4_mb_new_blocks(). Since then, we have mb_flags passed down through most of the code paths, so getting rid of EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED isn't as tricky as it used to. This commit plumbs in the last of what is required, and then adds a WARN_ON check to make sure we haven't missed anything. If this passes a full regression test run, we can then drop EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2014-05-12ext4: fix block bitmap validation when bigalloc, ^flex_bgDarrick J. Wong1-5/+7
On a bigalloc,^flex_bg filesystem, the ext4_valid_block_bitmap function fails to convert from blocks to clusters when spot-checking the validity of the bitmap block that we've just read from disk. This causes ext4 to think that the bitmap is garbage, which results in the block group being taken offline when it's not necessary. Add in the necessary EXT4_B2C() calls to perform the conversions.

The ext4_bg_has_super() function doesn't know about the new rules for where backup superblocks go on a sparse_super2 filesystem. Therefore, block bitmap initialization doesn't know that it shouldn't reserve space for backups in groups that are never going to contain backups.

If the group descriptor fails validation, mark the whole blockgroup corrupt so that the inode/block allocators skip this group. The previous approach takes the risk of writing to a damaged group descriptor; hopefully it was never the case that the [ib]bitmap fields pointed to another valid block and got dirtied, since the memset would fill the page with 1s.

2013-08-29ext4: mark block group as corrupt on block bitmap errorDarrick J. Wong1-0/+3
When we notice a block-bitmap corruption (because of device failure or something else), we should mark this group as corrupt and prevent further block allocations/deallocations from it. Currently, we end up generating one error message for every block in the bitmap. This potentially could make the system unstable as noticed in some bugs. With this patch, the error will be printed only the first time and mark the entire block group as corrupted. This prevents future access allocations/deallocations from it. Also tested by corrupting the block bitmap and forcefully introducing the mb_free_blocks error: (1) create a largefile (2Gb) $ dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile oflag=direct bs=10485760 count=200 (2) umount filesystem. use dumpe2fs to see which block-bitmaps are in use by largefile and note their block numbers (3) use dd to zero-out the used block bitmaps $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc4 bs=4096 seek=14 count=8 oflag=direct (4) mount the FS and delete the largefile. (5) recreate the largefile. verify that the new largefile does not get any blocks from the groups marked as bad. Without the patch, we will see mb_free_blocks error for each bit in each zero'ed out bitmap at (4). With the patch, we only see the error once per blockgroup: [ 309.706803] EXT4-fs error (device sdb4): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:735: group 15: 32768 clusters in bitmap, 0 in gd. blk grp corrupted.

2013-08-28ext4: error out if verifying the block bitmap failsDarrick J. Wong1-2/+6
The block bitmap verification code assumes that calling ext4_error() either panics the system or makes the fs readonly. However, this is not always true: when 'errors=continue' is specified, an error is printed but we don't return any indication of error to the caller, which is (probably) the block allocator, which pretends that the crud we read in off the disk is a usable bitmap. Yuck. A block bitmap that fails the check should at least return no bitmap to the caller. The block allocator should be told to go look in a different group, but that's a separate issue. The easiest way to reproduce this is to modify bg_block_bitmap (on a ^flex_bg fs) to point to a block outside the block group; or you can create a metadata_csum filesystem and zero out the block bitmaps.

2013-06-06ext4: optimize test_root()Theodore Ts'o1-5/+9
The test_root() function could potentially loop forever due to overflow issues. So rewrite test_root() to avoid this issue; as a bonus, it is 38% faster when benchmarked via a test loop: int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1 << 24; i++) { if (test_root(i, 7)) printf("%d\n", i); } } Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2013-04-20ext4: mark all metadata I/O with REQ_METATheodore Ts'o1-1/+1
As Dave Chinner pointed out at the 2013 LSF/MM workshop, it's important that metadata I/O requests are marked as such to avoid priority inversions caused by I/O bandwidth throttling. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
