[PATCH v4 1/3] ext4: don't increase iversion counter for ea_inodes

[PATCH v4 1/3] ext4: don't increase iversion counter for ea_inodes

[Lukas Czerner]

ea_inodes are using i_version for storing part of the reference count so
we really need to leave it alone.

The problem can be reproduced by xfstest ext4/026 when iversion is
enabled. Fix it by not calling inode_inc_iversion() for EXT4_EA_INODE_FL
inodes in ext4_mark_iloc_dirty().

[PATCH v4 2/3] fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE

[Lukas Czerner]

Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME.  That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
->dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.

The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.

Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.

Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

[PATCH v4 3/3] ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter

[Lukas Czerner]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

The original i_version implementation was pretty expensive, requiring a
log flush on every change. Because of this, it was gated behind a mount
option (implemented via the MS_I_VERSION mountoption flag).

Commit ae5e165d855d (fs: new API for handling inode->i_version) made the
i_version flag much less expensive, so there is no longer a performance
penalty from enabling it. xfs and btrfs already enable it
unconditionally when the on-disk format can support it.

Have ext4 ignore the SB_I_VERSION flag, and just enable it
unconditionally. While we're in here, remove the handling of
Opt_i_version as well, since we're almost to 5.20 anyway.

Ideally, we'd couple this change with a way to disable the i_version
counter (just in case), but the way the iversion mount option was
implemented makes that difficult to do. We'd need to add a new mount
option altogether or do something with tune2fs. That's probably best
left to later patches if it turns out to be needed.

[PATCH v5] fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE

[Lukas Czerner]

Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME.  That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
->dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.

The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.

Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.

Hi Lukas,

I know I had originally asked you to shepherd this patch into mainline,
but I think it may be better to wait on it for now. Since I asked that,
we've since found out that ext4 is bumping the i_version counter on
atime updates. It'd be best to get that fixed before we turn this on
unconditionally, since it could cause a performance regression in some
cases. I'll plan to pick this back up for my latest i_version series if
that sounds ok to you.

Sorry for the back and forth, and thanks again!

Cheers,

Hi Jeff,

sure, no problem. I can drop the patch. The rest of the series is still
valid though.

[PATCH v4 3/3] ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter

[Lukas Czerner]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

The original i_version implementation was pretty expensive, requiring a
log flush on every change. Because of this, it was gated behind a mount
option (implemented via the MS_I_VERSION mountoption flag).

Commit ae5e165d855d (fs: new API for handling inode->i_version) made the
i_version flag much less expensive, so there is no longer a performance
penalty from enabling it. xfs and btrfs already enable it
unconditionally when the on-disk format can support it.

Have ext4 ignore the SB_I_VERSION flag, and just enable it
unconditionally. While we're in here, remove the handling of
Opt_i_version as well, since we're almost to 5.20 anyway.

Ideally, we'd couple this change with a way to disable the i_version
counter (just in case), but the way the iversion mount option was
implemented makes that difficult to do. We'd need to add a new mount
option altogether or do something with tune2fs. That's probably best
left to later patches if it turns out to be needed.
