* vfs: fix dentry LRU list handling and nr_dentry_unused accountingLinus Torvalds2013-09-131-27/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic. This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing things from the LRU. The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular sanity checking.

| * list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all.Glauber Costa2013-09-101-20/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with only one user (the dentry code). At first, such function appears to make sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway. However, it's implementation is buggy in the following way: When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. However, this is done without the nlru->lock taken. The imediate result of that is that someone else may add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time. When list_lru_del happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is. Since list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance. The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock). To properly solve this, we need a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can coordinate this with each other. Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb callback. So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no more dentries are available. With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

| * dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose listDave Chinner2013-09-101-21/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of these is shrink_dentry_list(). Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point. This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say, per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru list/dispose list abuse to work. To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can change the LRU implementation freely in future. This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are actually on the dispose list. This would result in accounting the dentry to the LRU a second time. Hence dentry_lru_del() has to handle the DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST case Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@openvz.org> Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com> Cc: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: J.

| * dentry: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner2013-09-101-17/+16

The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other. The need for this is independent of any performance consideration that may arise: in the interest of abstracting the lru operations away, it is mandatory that each lru works around its own lock instead of a global lock for all of them.

It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested.

Never mind that the two are commonly the same. With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd() system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention anywhere. Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone. But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and real cleanup.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl() primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected data structure is being made. It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while an exclusive reader lock is taken. This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput() "might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging. However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting case. In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice. Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit 15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug. But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated "lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be safe), let's make forward progress.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that. The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes, which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to. More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has hidden bugs. It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens if we race with somebody else deleting the file. Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the costs better. So remove the misleading debug code. The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or not. This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid touching extra cache lines for the common case. So just add another bit for "is this dentry on the LRU". Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream. This makes the profiles look much saner.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The d_prune dentry operation is used to notify filesystem when VFS about to prune a hashed dentry from the dcache. There are three code paths that prune dentries: shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree(), prune_dcache_sb() and d_prune_aliases(). For the d_prune_aliases() case, VFS unhashes the dentry first, then call the d_prune dentry operation. This confuses ceph_d_prune() (ceph uses the d_prune dentry operation to maintain a flag indicating whether the complete contents of a directory are in the dcache, pruning unhashed dentry does not affect dir's completeness) This patch fixes the issue by calling the d_prune dentry operation in d_prune_aliases(), before unhashing the dentry. Also make VFS only call the d_prune dentry operation for hashed dentry, to avoid calling the d_prune dentry operation twice when dentry is pruned by d_prune_aliases().

It also adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk. We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the sequence count just once. That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup possible.

The reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use "d_lockref.count" instead. This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window. [ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors goes to me.

Before this patch: void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent) { while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0) shrink_dentry_list(&dispose); } select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels. This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry. These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at least for the workload below. Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity sets need_resched(). int main() { struct rlimit rlim; int i; int f[100000]; char buf[20]; struct timeval t1, t2; double diff; /* cleanup past run */ system("rm -rf x"); /* boost nfile rlimit */ rlim.rlim_cur = 200000; rlim.rlim_max = 200000; if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim)) err(1, "setrlimit"); /* make directory for files */ if (mkdir("x", 0700)) err(1, "mkdir"); if (gettimeofday(&t1, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); /* populate directory with open files */ for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "x/%d", i); f[i] = open(buf, O_CREAT); if (f[i] == -1) err(1, "open"); } /* close some of the files */ for (i = 0; i < 85000; i++) close(f[i]); /* unlink all files, even open ones */ system("rm -rf x"); if (gettimeofday(&t2, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); diff = (((double)t2.tv_sec * 1000000 + t2.tv_usec) - ((double)t1.tv_sec * 1000000 + t1.tv_usec)); printf("done: %g elapsed\n", diff/1e6); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

* vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry opJeff Layton2013-02-261-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

* vfs: d_obtain_alias() needs to use "/" as default name.NeilBrown2012-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if "/mnt" is an NFS mount then { cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; } will cause a WARN message like WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0() ... Root dentry has weird name <> to appear in kernel logs. So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous name.
