xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: allocate log vector buffers outside CIL context lock One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

* Allocate or pin log vector buffers for CIL insertion.
*
* The CIL currently uses disposable buffers for copying a snapshot of the
* modified items into the log during a push. The biggest problem with this is
* the requirement to allocate the disposable buffer during the commit if:
* a) does not exist; or
* b) it is too small
*
* If we do this allocation within xlog_cil_insert_format_items(), it is done
* under the xc_ctx_lock, which means that a CIL push cannot occur during
* the memory allocation. This means that we have a potential deadlock situation
* under low memory conditions when we have lots of dirty metadata pinned in
* the CIL and we need a CIL commit to occur to free memory.
*
* To avoid this, we need to move the memory allocation outside the
* xc_ctx_lock, but because the log vector buffers are disposable, that opens
* up a TOCTOU race condition w.r.t. the CIL committing and removing the log
* vector buffers between the check and the formatting of the item into the
* log vector buffer within the xc_ctx_lock.
*
* Because the log vector buffer needs to be unchanged during the CIL push
* process, we cannot share the buffer between the transaction commit (which
* modifies the buffer) and the CIL push context that is writing the changes
* into the log. This means skipping preallocation of buffer space is
* unreliable, but we most definitely do not want to be allocating and freeing
* buffers unnecessarily during commits when overwrites can be done safely.
*
* The simplest solution to this problem is to allocate a shadow buffer when a
* log item is committed for the second time, and then to only use this buffer
* if necessary. The buffer can remain attached to the log item until such time
* it is needed, and this is the buffer that is reallocated to match the size of
* the incoming modification. Then during the formatting of the item we can swap
* the active buffer with the new one if we can't reuse the existing buffer. We
* don't free the old buffer as it may be reused on the next modification if
* it's size is right, otherwise we'll free and reallocate it at that point.
*
* This function builds a vector for the changes in each log item in the
* transaction. It then works out the length of the buffer needed for each log
* item, allocates them and attaches the vector to the log item in preparation
* for the formatting step which occurs under the xc_ctx_lock.
*
* While this means the memory footprint goes up, it avoids the repeated
* alloc/free pattern that repeated modifications of an item would otherwise
* cause, and hence minimises the CPU overhead of such behaviour.

xfs: allocate log vector buffers outside CIL context lock One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

xfs: log vector rounding leaks log space The addition of direct formatting of log items into the CIL linear buffer added alignment restrictions that the start of each vector needed to be 64 bit aligned. Hence padding was added in xlog_finish_iovec() to round up the vector length to ensure the next vector started with the correct alignment. This adds a small number of bytes to the size of the linear buffer that is otherwise unused. The issue is that we then use the linear buffer size to determine the log space used by the log item, and this includes the unused space. Hence when we account for space used by the log item, it's more than is actually written into the iclogs, and hence we slowly leak this space. This results on log hangs when reserving space, with threads getting stuck with these stack traces: Call Trace: [<ffffffff81d15989>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff8150d3a2>] xlog_grant_head_wait+0xa2/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8150d55d>] xlog_grant_head_check+0xbd/0x140 [<ffffffff8150ee33>] xfs_log_reserve+0x103/0x220 [<ffffffff814b7f05>] xfs_trans_reserve+0x2f5/0x310 ..... The 4 bytes is significant. Brain Foster did all the hard work in tracking down a reproducable leak to inode chunk allocation (it went away with the ikeep mount option). His rough numbers were that creating 50,000 inodes leaked 11 log blocks. This turns out to be roughly 800 inode chunks or 1600 inode cluster buffers. That works out at roughly 4 bytes per cluster buffer logged, and at that I started looking for a 4 byte leak in the buffer logging code. What I found was that a struct xfs_buf_log_format structure for an inode cluster buffer is 28 bytes in length. This gets rounded up to 32 bytes, but the vector length remains 28 bytes. Hence the CIL ticket reservation is decremented by 32 bytes (via lv->lv_buf_len) for that vector rather than 28 bytes which are written into the log. The fix for this problem is to separately track the bytes used by the log vectors in the item and use that instead of the buffer length when accounting for the log space that will be used by the formatted log item. Again, thanks to Brian Foster for doing all the hard work and long hours to isolate this leak and make finding the bug relatively simple.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

/*
* Format log item into a flat buffers
*
* For delayed logging, we need to hold a formatted buffer containing all the
* changes on the log item. This enables us to relog the item in memory and
* write it out asynchronously without needing to relock the object that was
* modified at the time it gets written into the iclog.

xfs: allocate log vector buffers outside CIL context lock One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

* This function takes the prepared log vectors attached to each log item, and

xfs: allocate log vector buffers outside CIL context lock One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

xfs: Introduce ordered log vector support And "ordered log vector" is a log vector that is used for tracking a log item through the CIL and into the AIL as part of the log checkpointing. These ordered log vectors are special in that they are not written to to journal in any way, and are not accounted to the checkpoint being written. The reason for this behaviour is to allow operations to attach items to transactions and have them follow the normal transactional lifecycle without actually having to write them to the journal. This allows logging of items that track high level logical changes and writing them to the log, while the physical items being modified pass through into the AIL and pin the tail of the log (and therefore the logical item in the log) until all the modified items are physically written to disk. IOWs, it allows us to write metadata without physically logging every individual change but still maintain the full transactional integrity guarantees we currently have w.r.t. crash recovery. This change modifies some of the CIL item insertion loops, as ordered log vectors introduce some new constraints as they don't track any data. One advantage of this change is that it combines two log vector chain walks into a single pass, so there is less overhead in the transaction commit pass as well. It also kills some unused code in the log vector walk loop when committing the CIL.

xfs: log vector rounding leaks log space The addition of direct formatting of log items into the CIL linear buffer added alignment restrictions that the start of each vector needed to be 64 bit aligned. Hence padding was added in xlog_finish_iovec() to round up the vector length to ensure the next vector started with the correct alignment. This adds a small number of bytes to the size of the linear buffer that is otherwise unused. The issue is that we then use the linear buffer size to determine the log space used by the log item, and this includes the unused space. Hence when we account for space used by the log item, it's more than is actually written into the iclogs, and hence we slowly leak this space. This results on log hangs when reserving space, with threads getting stuck with these stack traces: Call Trace: [<ffffffff81d15989>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff8150d3a2>] xlog_grant_head_wait+0xa2/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8150d55d>] xlog_grant_head_check+0xbd/0x140 [<ffffffff8150ee33>] xfs_log_reserve+0x103/0x220 [<ffffffff814b7f05>] xfs_trans_reserve+0x2f5/0x310 ..... The 4 bytes is significant. Brain Foster did all the hard work in tracking down a reproducable leak to inode chunk allocation (it went away with the ikeep mount option). His rough numbers were that creating 50,000 inodes leaked 11 log blocks. This turns out to be roughly 800 inode chunks or 1600 inode cluster buffers. That works out at roughly 4 bytes per cluster buffer logged, and at that I started looking for a 4 byte leak in the buffer logging code. What I found was that a struct xfs_buf_log_format structure for an inode cluster buffer is 28 bytes in length. This gets rounded up to 32 bytes, but the vector length remains 28 bytes. Hence the CIL ticket reservation is decremented by 32 bytes (via lv->lv_buf_len) for that vector rather than 28 bytes which are written into the log. The fix for this problem is to separately track the bytes used by the log vectors in the item and use that instead of the buffer length when accounting for the log space that will be used by the formatted log item. Again, thanks to Brian Foster for doing all the hard work and long hours to isolate this leak and make finding the bug relatively simple.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: wake commit waiters on CIL abort before log item abort XFS shutdown deadlocks have been reproduced by fstest generic/475. The deadlock signature involves log I/O completion running error handling to abort logged items and waiting for an inode cluster buffer lock in the buffer item unpin handler. The buffer lock is held by xfsaild attempting to flush an inode. The buffer happens to be pinned and so xfs_iflush() triggers an async log force to begin work required to get it unpinned. The log force is blocked waiting on the commit completion, which never occurs and thus leaves the filesystem deadlocked. The root problem is that aborted log I/O completion pots commit completion behind callback completion, which is unexpected for async log forces. Under normal running conditions, an async log force returns to the caller once the CIL ctx has been formatted/submitted and the commit completion event triggered at the tail end of xlog_cil_push(). If the filesystem has shutdown, however, we rely on xlog_cil_committed() to trigger the completion event and it happens to do so after running log item unpin callbacks. This makes it unsafe to invoke an async log force from contexts that hold locks that might also be required in log completion processing. To address this problem, wake commit completion waiters before aborting log items in the log I/O completion handler. This ensures that an async log force will not deadlock on held locks if the filesystem happens to shutdown. Note that it is still unsafe to issue a sync log force while holding such locks because a sync log force explicitly waits on the force completion, which occurs after log I/O completion processing.

xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commit When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index. To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items being committed into a temporary list for insertion. The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the array fills up. As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases significantly.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time.

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

xfs: xlog_cil_force_lsn doesn't always wait correctly When running a tight mount/unmount loop on an older kernel, RedHat QE found that unmount would occasionally hang in xfs_buf_unpin_wait() on the superblock buffer. Tracing and other debug work by Eric Sandeen indicated that it was hanging on the writing of the superblock during unmount immediately after logging the superblock counters in a synchronous transaction. Further debug indicated that the synchronous transaction was not waiting for completion correctly, and we narrowed it down to xlog_cil_force_lsn() returning NULLCOMMITLSN and hence not pushing the transaction in the iclog buffer to disk correctly. While this unmount superblock write code is now very different in mainline kernels, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() code is identical, and it was bisected to the backport of commit f876e44 ("xfs: always do log forces via the workqueue"). This commit made the CIL push asynchronous for log forces and hence exposed a race condition that couldn't occur on a synchronous push. Essentially, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() relied implicitly on the fact that the sequence push would be complete by the time xlog_cil_push_now() returned, resulting in the context being pushed being in the committing list. When it was made asynchronous, it was recognised that there was a race condition in detecting whether an asynchronous push has started or not and code was added to handle it. Unfortunately, the fix was not quite right and left a race condition where it it would detect an empty CIL while a push was in progress before the context had been added to the committing list. This was incorrectly seen as a "nothing to do" condition and so would tell xfs_log_force_lsn() that there is nothing to wait for, and hence it would push the iclogbufs in memory. The fix is simple, but explaining the logic and the race condition is a lot more complex. The fix is to add the context to the committing list before we start emptying the CIL. This allows us to detect the difference between an empty "do nothing" push and a push that has not started by adding a discrete "emptying the CIL" state to avoid the transient, incorrect "empty" condition that the (unchanged) waiting code was seeing.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again.

xfs: prevent deadlock trying to cover an active log Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this: - the tail of the log is pinned by an inode - the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild - the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL - the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the delayed write queue - the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged recently due to unlinked inode list modification - the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the active CIL context. - the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is pinned - xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy transaction to move the log covering state machine along. Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing transactions to start again. Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild flushes. There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not the best way to solve the problem. The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't need to attempt to cover it. When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and unpin them. In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e. the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log from being moved...

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without.

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not.

xfs: allocate log vector buffers outside CIL context lock One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

This avoids a lock round-trip and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls. The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away - this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress.

xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not. As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly slower with delayed logging than without. To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry about dereferencing context structures that may have already been freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing code and only call into the push code if the current context matches the sequence we need to force. By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if the sequence has already been pushed.

When it was made asynchronous, it was recognised that there was a race condition in detecting whether an asynchronous push has started or not and code was added to handle it. Unfortunately, the fix was not quite right and left a race condition where it it would detect an empty CIL while a push was in progress before the context had been added to the committing list. This was incorrectly seen as a "nothing to do" condition and so would tell xfs_log_force_lsn() that there is nothing to wait for, and hence it would push the iclogbufs in memory. The fix is simple, but explaining the logic and the race condition is a lot more complex. The fix is to add the context to the committing list before we start emptying the CIL.

xfs: Introduce delayed logging core code The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that should not be used in production yet. We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List (CIL) is for. The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable this tracking. To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space log required/used by the context checkpoint. To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item, rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL. Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point back at the memory buffer we just copied into. This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it again. The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update all the tickets, counters, etc correctly. Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time. Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event. Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during Io completion to complete the checkpoint. We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with. To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

xfs: Ensure inode allocation buffers are fully replayed With delayed logging, we can get inode allocation buffers in the same transaction inode unlink buffers. We don't currently mark inode allocation buffers in the log, so inode unlink buffers take precedence over allocation buffers. The result is that when they are combined into the same checkpoint, only the unlinked inode chain fields are replayed, resulting in uninitialised inode buffers being detected when the next inode modification is replayed. To fix this, we need to ensure that we do not set the inode buffer flag in the buffer log item format flags if the inode allocation has not already hit the log. To avoid requiring a change to log recovery, we really need to make this a modification that relies only on in-memory sate. We can do this by checking during buffer log formatting (while the CIL cannot be flushed) if we are still in the same sequence when we commit the unlink transaction as the inode allocation transaction. If we are, then we do not add the inode buffer flag to the buffer log format item flags. This means the entire buffer will be replayed, not just the unlinked fields. We do this while CIL flusheѕ are locked out to ensure that we don't race with the sequence numbers changing and hence fail to put the inode buffer flag in the buffer format flags when we really need to.
