[ Upstream commit bfdc502a4a ]
In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for
any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group.
ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the
starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length
boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it
accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results
into a data abort.
for (i = 0; i < clen; i++)
if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh->b_data) == !state)
already++;
This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in
ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different
block group.
w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.

commit 8c80fb312d upstream.
We found on older kernel (3.10) that in the scenario of insufficient
disk space, system may trigger an ABBA deadlock problem, it seems that
this problem still exists in latest kernel, try to fix it here. The
main process triggered by this problem is that task A occupies the PA
and waits for the jbd2 transaction finish, the jbd2 transaction waits
for the completion of task B's IO (plug_list), but task B waits for
the release of PA by task A to finish discard, which indirectly forms
an ABBA deadlock. The related calltrace is as follows:
Task A
vfs_write
ext4_mb_new_blocks()
ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() JBD2
jbd2_journal_get_write_access() -> jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
->schedule() filemap_fdatawait()
| |
| Task B |
| do_unlinkat() |
| ext4_evict_inode() |
| jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() |
| filemap_fdatawrite_range() |
| ext4_mb_new_blocks() |
-ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() <-----
Here, try to cancel ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() internal
retry due to PA busy, and do a limited number of retries inside
ext4_mb_discard_preallocations(), which can circumvent the above
problems, but also has some advantages:
1. Since the PA is in a busy state, if other groups have free PAs,
keeping the current PA may help to reduce fragmentation.
2. Continue to traverse forward instead of waiting for the current
group PA to be released. In most scenarios, the PA discard time
can be reduced.
However, in the case of smaller free space, if only a few groups have
space, then due to multiple traversals of the group, it may increase
CPU overhead. But in contrast, I feel that the overall benefit is
better than the cost.

[ Upstream commit 173b6e383d ]
A user reported FITRIM ioctl failing for him on ext4 on some devices
without apparent reason. After some debugging we've found out that
these devices (being LVM volumes) report rather large discard
granularity of 42MB and the filesystem had 1k blocksize and thus group
size of 8MB. Because ext4 FITRIM implementation puts discard
granularity into minlen, ext4_trim_fs() declared the trim request as
invalid. However just silently doing nothing seems to be a more
appropriate reaction to such combination of parameters since user did
not specify anything wrong.

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves
buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.
So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.

Right now, discard is issued and waited to be completed in jbd2
commit kthread context after the logs are committed. When large
amount of files are deleted and discard is flooding, jbd2 commit
kthread can be blocked for long time. Then all of the metadata
operations can be blocked to wait the log space.
One case is the page fault path with read mm->mmap_sem held, which
wants to update the file time but has to wait for the log space.
When other threads in the task wants to do mmap, then write mmap_sem
is blocked. Finally all of the following read mmap_sem requirements
are blocked, even the ps command which need to read the /proc/pid/
-cmdline. Our monitor service which needs to read /proc/pid/cmdline
used to be blocked for 5 mins.
This patch frees the blocks back to buddy after commit and then do
discard in a async kworker context in fstrim fashion, namely,
- mark blocks to be discarded as used if they have not been allocated
- do discard
- mark them free
After this, jbd2 commit kthread won't be blocked any more by discard
and we won't get NOSPC even if the discard is slow or throttled.

Instead of traversing through groups linearly, scan groups in specific
orders at cr 0 and cr 1. At cr 0, we want to find groups that have the
largest free order >= the order of the request. So, with this patch,
we maintain lists for each possible order and insert each group into a
list based on the largest free order in its buddy bitmap. During cr 0
allocation, we traverse these lists in the increasing order of largest
free orders. This allows us to find a group with the best available cr
0 match in constant time. If nothing can be found, we fallback to cr 1
immediately.
At CR1, the story is slightly different. We want to traverse in the
order of increasing average fragment size. For CR1, we maintain a rb
tree of groupinfos which is sorted by average fragment size. Instead
of traversing linearly, at CR1, we traverse in the order of increasing
average fragment size, starting at the most optimal group. This brings
down cr 1 search complexity to log(num groups).
For cr >= 2, we just perform the linear search as before. Also, in
case of lock contention, we intermittently fallback to linear search
even in CR 0 and CR 1 cases. This allows us to proceed during the
allocation path even in case of high contention.
There is an opportunity to do optimization at CR2 too. That's because
at CR2 we only consider groups where bb_free counter (number of free
blocks) is greater than the request extent size. That's left as future
work.
All the changes introduced in this patch are protected under a new
mount option "mb_optimize_scan".
With this patchset, following experiment was performed:

Commit cfd7323772 ("ext4: add prefetching for block allocation
bitmaps") introduced block bitmap prefetch, and expects to read block
bitmaps of flex_bg through an IO. However, it seems to ignore the
value range of s_log_groups_per_flex. In the scenario where the value
of s_log_groups_per_flex is greater than 27, s_mb_prefetch or
s_mb_prefetch_limit will overflow, cause a divide zero exception.
In addition, the logic of calculating nr is also flawed, because the
size of flexbg is fixed during a single mount, but s_mb_prefetch can
be modified, which causes nr to fail to meet the value condition of
[1, flexbg_size].
To solve this problem, we need to set the upper limit of
s_mb_prefetch. Since we expect to load block bitmaps of a flex_bg
through an IO, we can consider determining a reasonable upper limit
among the IO limit parameters. After consideration, we chose
BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE. This is a good choice to solve divide zero
problem and avoiding performance degradation.

ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() can be releasing group lock with
preallocations accumulated on its local list. Thus although
discard_pa_seq was incremented and concurrent allocating processes will
be retrying allocations, it can happen that premature ENOSPC error is
returned because blocks used for preallocations are not available for
reuse yet. Make sure we always free locally accumulated preallocations
before releasing group lock.

Ritesh Harjani suggest to in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations function we
only increase discard_pa_seq when there is some PA to free.

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m2.051s
user 0m0.008s

It might be better to adjust the code in two places:
1. Determine whether grp is currupt or not should be placed first.
2. (cr<=2 && free <ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len)should may belong to the crx
strategy, and it may be more appropriate to put it in the
subsequent switch statement block. For cr1, cr2, the conditions
in switch potentially realize the above judgment. For cr0, we
should add (free <ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len) judgment, and then delete
(free / fragments) >= ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len), because cr0 returns
true by default.

Currently, system zones just track ranges of block, that are "important"
fs metadata (bitmaps, group descriptors, journal blocks, etc.). This
however complicates how extent tree (or indirect blocks) can be checked
for inodes that actually track such metadata - currently the journal
inode but arguably we should be treating quota files or resize inode
similarly. We cannot run __ext4_ext_check() on such metadata inodes when
loading their extents as that would immediately trigger the validity
checks and so we just hack around that and special-case the journal
inode. This however leads to a situation that a journal inode which has
extent tree of depth at least one can have invalid extent tree that gets
unnoticed until ext4_cache_extents() crashes.
To overcome this limitation, track inode number each system zone belongs
to (0 is used for zones not belonging to any inode). We can then verify
inode number matches the expected one when verifying extent tree and
thus avoid the false errors. With this there's no need to to
special-case journal inode during extent tree checking anymore so remove
it.

For file systems where we can afford to keep the buddy bitmaps cached,
we can speed up initial writes to large file systems by starting to
load the block allocation bitmaps as soon as the file system is
mounted. This won't work well for _super_ large file systems, or
memory constrained systems, so we only enable this when it is
requested via a mount option.

cr=0 is supposed to be an optimization to save CPU cycles, but if
buddy data (in memory) is not initialized then all this makes no sense
as we have to do sync IO taking a lot of cycles. Also, at cr=0
mballoc doesn't choose any available chunk. cr=1 also skips groups
using heuristic based on avg. fragment size. It's more useful to skip
such groups and switch to cr=2 where groups will be scanned for
available chunks. However, we always read the first block group in a
flex_bg so metadata blocks will get read into the first flex_bg if
possible.
Using sparse image and dm-slow virtual device of 120TB was
simulated, then the image was formatted and filled using debugfs to
mark ~85% of available space as busy. mount process w/o the patch
couldn't complete in half an hour (according to vmstat it would take
~10-11 hours). With the patch applied mount took ~20 seconds.

This should significantly improve bitmap loading, especially for flex
groups as it tries to load all bitmaps within a flex.group instead of
one by one synchronously.
Prefetching is done in 8 * flex_bg groups, so it should be 8
read-ahead reads for a single allocating thread. At the end of
allocation the thread waits for read-ahead completion and initializes
buddy information so that read-aheads are not lost in case of memory
pressure.
At cr=0 the number of prefetching IOs is limited per allocation
context to prevent a situation when mballoc loads thousands of bitmaps
looking for a perfect group and ignoring groups with good chunks.
Together with the patch "ext4: limit scanning of uninitialized groups"
the mount time (which includes few tiny allocations) of a 1PB
filesystem is reduced significantly:
0% full 50%-full unpatched patched
mount time 33s 9279s 563s
[ Restructured by tytso; removed the state flags in the allocation
context, so it can be used to lazily prefetch the allocation bitmaps
immediately after the file system is mounted. Skip prefetching
block groups which are uninitialized. Finally pass in the
REQ_RAHEAD flag to the block layer while prefetching. ]

Currently while doing block allocation grp->bb_free may be getting
modified if discard is happening in parallel.
For e.g. consider a case where there are lot of threads who have
preallocated lot of blocks and there is a thread which is trying
to discard all of this group's PA. Now it could happen that
we see all of those group's bb_free is zero and fail the allocation
while there is sufficient space if we free up all the PA.
So this patch adds another flag "EXT4_MB_STRICT_CHECK" which will be set
if we are unable to allocate any blocks in the first try (since we may
not have considered blocks about to be discarded from PA lists).
So during retry attempt to allocate blocks we will use ext4_lock_group()
for checking if the group is good or not.

ext4_mb_good_group() definition was changed some time back
and now it even initializes the buddy cache (via ext4_mb_init_group()),
if in case the EXT4_MB_GRP_NEED_INIT() is true for a group.
Note that ext4_mb_init_group() could sleep and so should not be called
under a spinlock held.
This is fine as of now because ext4_mb_good_group() is called before
loading the buddy bitmap without ext4_lock_group() held
and again called after loading the bitmap, only this time with
ext4_lock_group() held.
But still this whole thing is confusing.
So this patch refactors out ext4_mb_good_group_nolock() which should be
called when without holding ext4_lock_group().
Also in further patches we hold the spinlock (ext4_lock_group()) while
doing any calculations which involves grp->bb_free or grp->bb_fragments.
