* [XFS] Apply transaction delta counts atomically to incore countersDavid Chinner2007-07-141-37/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the per-cpu superblock counters, batch updates are no longer atomic across the entire batch of changes. This is not an issue if each individual change in the batch is applied atomically. Unfortunately, free block count changes are not applied atomically, and they are applied in a manner guaranteed to cause problems. Essentially, the free block count reservation that the transaction took initially is returned to the in core counters before a second delta takes away what is used. because these two operations are not atomic, we can race with another thread that can use the returned transaction reservation before the transaction takes the space away again and we can then get ENOSPC being reported in a spot where we don't have an ENOSPC condition, nor should we ever see one there. Fix it up by rolling the two deltas into the one so it can be applied safely (i.e. atomically) to the incore counters.

* [XFS] Lazy Superblock CountersDavid Chinner2007-07-141-12/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all typically modify the on disk superblock in some way. create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify free block counts. When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock buffer becomes a bottleneck. The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock buffer, the slower things go. The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction. In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every sync period or just before unmount. This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log recovery has been performed. It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information; after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do not change under normal operation. One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters. This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full, the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*. As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

* [XFS] Make growfs work for amounts greater than 2TBDavid Chinner2007-02-101-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The free block modification code has a 32bit interface, limiting the size the filesystem can be grown even on 64 bit machines. On 32 bit machines, there are other 32bit variables in transaction structures and interfaces that need to be expanded to allow this to work.

* [XFS] write barrier support Issue all log sync operations as orderedChristoph Hellwig2005-11-021-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | writes. In addition flush the disk cache on fsync if the sync cached operation didn't sync the log to disk (this requires some additional bookeping in the transaction and log code). If the device doesn't claim to support barriers, the filesystem has an extern log volume or the trial superblock write with barriers enabled failed we disable barriers and print a warning. We should probably fail the mount completely, but that could lead to nasty boot failures for the root filesystem. Not enabled by default yet, needs more destructive testing first.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
