Hi Al,

The following patches are the inode_lock breakup series originally
derived from Nick Piggin's vfs-scale tree. I've kind of been sitting
on them until the dcache_lock breakup and rcu path-walk has had some
time to be shaken out. The patch ѕet is pretty much unchanged from
the last round of review last last year - all I've done to bring it
up to date is forward port it and run it through some testing on XFS
and ext4.

I know it's late in the .39 merge window, but I hope you'll consider
it if the patches are still acceptable(*). Otherwise I'm happy to take
the time to get it right for .40.

Cheers,

Dave.

* [PATCH 1/8] fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.

This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.

Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

We have a couple of places that dispose of inodes. factor the
disposal into evict() to isolate this code and make it simpler to
peel away the inode_lock from the code.

While doing this, change the logic flow in iput_final() to separate
the different cases that need to be handled to make the transitions
the inode goes through more obvious.

Introduce the inode_lru_lock to protect the inode_lru list. This
lock is nested inside the inode->i_lock to allow the inode to be
added to the LRU list in iput_final without needing to deal with
lock inversions. This keeps iput_final() clean and neat.

Further, where marking the inode I_FREEING and removing it from the
LRU, move the LRU list manipulation within the inode->i_lock to keep
the list manipulation consistent with iput_final. This also means
that most of the open coded LRU list removal + unused inode
accounting can now use the inode_lru_list_del() wrappers which
cleans the code up further.

However, this locking change means what the LRU traversal in
prune_icache() inverts this lock ordering and needs to use trylock
semantics on the inode->i_lock to avoid deadlocking. In these cases,
if we fail to lock the inode we move it to the back of the LRU to
prevent spinning on it.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Now that inode state changes are protected by the inode->i_lock and
the inode LRU manipulations by the inode_lru_lock, we can remove the
inode_lock from prune_icache and the initial part of iput_final().

instead of using the inode_lock to protect the inode during
iput_final, use the inode->i_lock instead. This protects the inode
against new references being taken while we change the inode state
to I_FREEING, as well as preventing prune_icache from grabbing the
inode while we are manipulating it. Hence we no longer need the
inode_lock in iput_final prior to setting I_FREEING on the inode.

For prune_icache, we no longer need the inode_lock to protect the
LRU list, and the inodes themselves are protected against freeing
races by the inode->i_lock. Hence we can lift the inode_lock from
prune_icache as well.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Protect the per-sb inode list with a new global lock
inode_sb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

From: Dave Chinner @ 2011-03-22 11:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: viro; +Cc: linux-kernel, linux-fsdevel

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock
inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

From: Dave Chinner @ 2011-03-22 11:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: viro; +Cc: linux-kernel, linux-fsdevel

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

All that remains of the inode_lock is protecting the inode hash list
manipulation and traversals. Rename the inode_lock to
inode_hash_lock to reflect it's actual function.

First thing we do in writeback_single_inode() is take the i_lock and
the last thing we do is drop it. A caller already holds the i_lock,
so pull the i_lock out of writeback_single_inode() to reduce the
round trips on this lock during inode writeback.

Hi,

I have tested this patch-series on top of linux-next (next-20110322)
by running xfstests-dev (built from git).

My sdb2 partition (on an external 1GBytes USB-2.0 hdd) was formatted
and mounted as ext4-fs .

The check-log is attached (not sure how to interpret the errors and failures).

Regards,
- Sedat -

P.S.: Note to myself (Host: Debian/sid i386)

[ BUILD ]

$ apt-get install uuid-dev xfslibs-dev libacl1-dev libdm0-dev libgdbm-dev

[ TESTS ]

$ mkfs.$FSTYPE /dev/$DEVNODE

If you really want to use xfstests to produce some system stress,
you'd do better to use an XFS filesystem ;)

Nothing indicates an unknown failure...

This is a result of Al fixing the max nested loop depth very early
on in .39, so the test needs to run to deeper nesting depths to
produce ELOOP. So it's a test problem, not a bug.

You need to install libaio and friends so that the binary is
built. We probably need to add a "requires_aio" test option to
detect this situation and not_run the test gracefully.

First, I was riddling why I could not install xfstests-dev to an
individual $PREFIX and waste(?) some time into looking into the
configure* files - dbtest.c failed building by not setting correct
$libgdbm (normal build via make is OK).
Then I saw the hardcoded /var/lib/ as INSTALL_PATH... and didn't
wanted dig deeper.
I overflew the README, but that file needs a bit of more hints.

I can do some XFS testing if you wish.
The numbers in the result say nothing to me as I can't compare them
with other systems.
It's like putting the hand in a glass of water and wild speculating
the temperature.
You can say cold or warm if you have a 2nd glass with different temperature.

So, it might be worth to add a file (name: benchmark.txt?) with some results?

Yupp, the build-/configure-system could be enhanced in that case.
(I add "Notes to myself" see my P.S. to remember what I did and what I missed.)

Thanks for your explanations!

BTW, are changes/updates to xfstests-dev announced somewhere (like ML)?

* [PATCH 9/8] fs: simplify iget & friends

  To: Dave Chinner, viro; +Cc: linux-kernel, linux-fsdevel

Merge get_new_inode/get_new_inode_fast into iget5_locked/iget_locked
as those were the only callers.  Remove the internal ifind/ifind_fast
helpers - ifind_fast only had a single caller, and ifind had two
callers wanting it to do different things.  Also clean up the comments
in this area to focus on information important to a developer trying
to use it, instead of overloading them with implementation details.

xfstests has never really been packaged as a standaone package, so
the build/configure system is a bit grotesque in places. It kind of
assumes that you've already installed everything you need manually
on your test box.

If someone wants to fix that all up so it can be packaged as .rpm
and .deb packages with aal the correct dependencies, then patches
are welcome...

No big deal, I was just pointing out that ext4 coverage of the test
suite is limited compared to the XFS coverage...

I don't see any real point - the output is pass/fail for each test
with and inidcation of the failure. If you want to dig deeperr into
the failures, it points at where to look.

Well, it's not a configure system issue - it's that the test itself
doesn't correctly detect what was built.....

The XFS mailing list (xfs@oss.sgi.com) is used for development and
release announcements. And there's usually information in
Christoph's monthly XFS summary that he posts to -fsdevel and LKML.

Cheers,
