kernel.org is being slow. Will appear at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm3/
- Various new fixes; generally uncritical ones.
- Significant changes to the AIO and direct-io code. This needs beating
on; hopefully we're now close to a solution to the fairly complex problems
in there.
- Several ext2 and ext3 allocator fixes. These need serious testing on big
SMP.
- Anyone who has patches in here which they think should go into 2.6.0,
please retest them in -mm3 and let me know, thanks.

I tested using the test programs aiocp and aiodio_sparse. (see http://developer.osdl.org/daniel/AIO/) Using aiocp with i/o sizes from 1k to 512k to copy files worked without any errors or kernel debug messages. With 64k i/o, the aiodio_sparse program complete without any errors. There are no kernel error messages, so that is good. There are still problems with non power of 2 i/o sizes using AIO and O_DIRECT. It hangs with aio's that do not seem to complete. The test does exit when hitting ^c and there are no kernel messages.

I ran aiocp with 1k i/o size constantly for 2 hours and it never hung. I re-ran with your patch with both as-iosched and deadline and both hung in io_submit(). aiocp would run a few times, but I put the aiocp in a while loop and it hung on the 1st or 2nd time. It did get most of the way through copying the file before hanging. This is on a 2-proc to ide disks running ext3.

I originally had CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y which was helping me see problems because the the freed dio was getting poisoned. I also tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which is very good at catching these. I updated your AIO fallback patch plus your AIO race plus I fixed the bio_count decrement fix. This patch has all three fixes and it is working for me. I fixed the bio_count race, by changing bio_list_lock into bio_lock and using that for all the bio fields. I changed bio_count and bios_in_flight from atomics into int. They are now proctected by the bio_lock. I fixed the race, by in finished_one_bio() by leaving the bio_count at 1 until after the dio_complete() and then do the bio_count decrement and wakeup holding the bio_lock. Take a look, give it a try, and let me know what you think. I've tested this on my 2-way and so far all my tests have past. I have more testing to do, but this is working better.

I had been trying a slightly different kind of fix -- appended is the updated version of the patch I last posted. It uses the bio_list_lock to protect the dio->waiter field, which finished_one_bio sets back to NULL after it has issued the wakeup; and the code that waits for i/o to drain out checks the dio->waiter field instead of bio_count. This might not seem very obvious given the nomenclature of the bio_list_lock, so I was holding back wondering if it could be improved. Your approach looks clearer in that sense -- its pretty unambiguous about what lock protects what fields. The only thing that bothers me (and this is what I was trying to avoid in my patch) is the increased use of spin_lock_irq 's (overhead of turning interrupts off and on) instead of simple atomic inc/dec in most places.

Your patch should also fix the problem. I like mine with the cleaner locking. I am not sure your approach has less overhead. At least on x86, cli/sti are fairly inexpensive. The locked xchange or locked inc/dec is what is expensive (from what I understand). So comparing: my patch: Your patch: dio_bio_submit() spin_lock() atomic_inc(bio_count); bio_count++ atomic_inc(bios_in_flight); bios_in_flight++ spin_unlock My guess is that the spin_lock/spin_unlock is faster than 2 atomic_inc's since it is only 1 locked operation (spin_lock) verses 2 (atomic_inc's) finished_one_bio() (normal case) My patch: spin_lock() atomic_dec_and_test(bio_count) bio_count-- spin_unlock() 1 locked instruction each, so very close -- atomic_dec_and_test() does not disable interrupts, so it is probabably a little bit faster. finished_one-bio (fallback case): spin_lock() spin_lock() bio_count--; dio->waiter = null spin_unlock() spin_unlock() Both approaches are the same. dio_bio_complete() spin_lock() spin_lock() bios_in_flight-- atomic_dec() spin_unlock spin_unlock() My patch is faster since it removed 1 locked instruction. Conclusion: My guess would be that both approaches are close, but my patch has less locked instructions but does disable interrupts more. My preference is for the cleaner locking approach that is easier to understand and modify in the future.

The patch I sent just kept things the way they were in terms of locking costs, assuming that those choices were thought through at that time (should check with akpm). Yours changes it by switching to spin_lock(unlock)_irq instead of atomic_dec in the normal (common) path for finished_one_bio, for both sync and async i/o. At the same time, for the sync i/o case, as you observe it takes away one atomic_dec from dio_bio_end_io. Since these probably aren't really very hot paths ... possibly the difference doesn't matter that much. I do agree that your patch makes the locking easier to follow.

I used a 50MB file on ext2 file system on a ramdisk. The machine is a 2-proc IBM box with: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz stepping : 10 cpu MHz : 1686.033 cache size : 256 KB The write test was: time aiocp -n 32 -b 1k -s 50m -z -f DIRECT file The read test was time aiocp -n 32 -b 1k -s 50 -w -f DIRECT file I ran each test more than 10 times and here are the averages: my patch your patch aiocp write real 0.7328 real 0.7756 user 0.01425 user 0.01221 sys 0.716 sys 0.76157 aiocp read real 0.7250 real 0.7456 user 0.0144 user 0.0130 sys 0.07149 sys 0.7307 It looks like using the spin_lock instead of the atomic inc/dec is very close performance wise. The spin_lock averages a bit faster. This is not testing the fallback base, but both patches would be very similar in performance for that case. I don't have any non-intel hardware to test with.

Or are spin_lock_irq and atomic_inc/dec really that close ? Would be good to know from other archs just to keep in mind in the future. As for the fallback case, performance doesn't even matter - its not a typical situation. So we don't need to bother with that. Unless someone thinks otherwise, we should go with your fix.

It should all be in the kernel right now; arch/i386/kernel/doublefault.c but i think i may be a bit low on luck =) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Triple faults you can't debug, they raise a line outside the CPU, and normal PC hardware will cause that to just trigger a reboot. But double faults do get caught, and that debugging stuff actually is in the standard kernel. It won't give _nearly_ as good a debug report as a "normal" oops, since I didn't want the double-fault handler to touch anything even remotely unsafe, but it often gives a good hint about what might be wrong. Certainly better than triple-faulting did (which we still do for _catastrophic_ corruption, eg totally munged kernel page tables etc - it's just very hard to avoid once you get corrupted enough).

Unfortunately i have been unable to come up with a simpler workaround which is fewer instructions and easier to debug. I have tried the following; mb()/barrier() flush_tlb_all() wbinvd() outb(0x80,0x00) local_irq_save(flags); local_irq_enable(); loop(); local_irq_restore(flags); long_loop() What i do know is that in the following code; __asm__ __volatile__( "xorl %%eax,%%eax; movl %%eax,%%fs; movl %%eax,%%gs\n\t" "movl %0,%%esp\n\t" "movl %1,%%ebp\n\t" "jmp resume_userspace" : /* no outputs */ :"r" (&info->regs), "r" (tsk->thread_info) : "ax"); It does get to resume_userspace as putting a $0 into %ebp will oops in __switch_to And here is the current 'workaround'. Any hints?

What's the generated assembly language for this function with and without the "fix"? If adding that printk fixes a triple fault, the issue is not likely to be the printk itself as much as the difference in code that the compiler generates - stack frame, memory re-ordering etc...

And there is something very suspicious there. The code with and without the printk() looks _identical_ apart from some trivial label renumbering, and the added pushl $.LC6 call printk .. asm .. popl %esi which all looks fine (esi is dead at that point, so the compiler is just using a "popl" as a shorter form of "addl $4,%esp"). Btw, you seem to compile with debugging, which makes the assembly language pretty much unreadable and accounts for most of the differences: the line numbers change. If you compile a kernel where the line numbers don't change (by commenting _out_ the printk rather than removing the whole line), your diff would be more readable. Anyway, there are _zero_ differences. Just for fun, try this: move the "printk()" to _below_ the "asm" statement. It will never actually get executed, but if it's an issue of some subtle code or data placement things (cache lines etc), maybe that also hides the oops, since all the same code and data will be generated, just not run...

I've tried a number of timing related workarounds, namely; schedule_timeout(2*HZ) and some long spinning loops.

Zwane's got a K6-2 500MHz. I've just managed to reproduce this on my 1.4GHz Opteron box (with Debian gcc 3.2). Here, the "ooh la la" bit doesn't help. So my suspicion is that the printk is changing the timing just enough on Zwane's box that he's getting a timer interrupt knocking him out of vm86 mode before he hits a fatal bit in the fault handling path for 4/4. Printks in handle_vm86_trap, handle_vm86_fault, do_trap:vm86_trap, and do_general_protection:gp_in_vm86 never fire so there's probably something amiss in the trampoline code. -- Matt Mackall : http://www.selenic.com : Linux development and consulting ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Instead of using a percentage like this, would it make sense to flush the journal when there are only N number of free journal slots/entries left? Now the question is how to compute N in a sane way that works for small (memory) systems, as well as for larger systems. You don't want to grow N too aggresively, or base it on the memory of the system, do you? When you have a 20mb journal, maybe starting writeout after 10mb is used makes sense, because you've only got 10 transaction slots open. But when you have a 200mb journal, does it make sense to start writeout when you only have 100 transaction slots left? Since I don't know the internals of Ext3 at all, I'm probably completely missing the idea here, but my gut feeling is that the scaling we use in these cases shouldn't be linear at all, but more likely inverse logyrythmic instead. Basically, the larger we get with a resource, the slower we grow our useage, or the smaller we grow the absolute size of the writeout buffer(s). Hmmm... this doesn't sound clear even to me. But the idea I think I'm trying to get at is that if we have X size of a journal, we want to start writeout when we have X/2 available. But when we have Y size of a journal, where Y is X*10 (or larger), we don't want Y/2 as the cutover point, we want something like Y/10. The idea is that we grow the denominator here at a slow rate, since it will shrink the free buffer percentage nicely, yet not let us get too close to a truly zero sized buffer. X X/N ----- -------- 10 5 100 10 1000 25 10000 125 Does this make any sense to anyone? John ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

The minimum transaction size is one block (since ext3 is the only journaling FS to log entire blocks, instead of the specific logical changes made during the transaction), and your blocks are 1k, 2k, or 4k. Though many times you'll have several blocks per transaction since each transaction can change bitmaps, directory blocks, and etc. > Since I don't know the internals of Ext3 at all, I'm probably > completely missing the idea here, but my gut feeling is that the > scaling we use in these cases shouldn't be linear at all, but more > likely inverse logyrythmic instead.

Last I heard, ext3 will try to flush the journal with an async process and if that isn't able to keep up, once the journal hits 50% full, the system will write syncronously until the journal is empty (or was that until it was 25% full or less, I forget...). AFAIK everyone agrees that this is not optimal, but nobody's taken the time to fix it yet either. Mike ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Clearly you have done a good job of checking the "disk can't keep up" case, is there a need to test further with a much higher transaction rate? I would assume that if there were lock issues they would have shown up, which is probably all that's needed. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread
