When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous
transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we
can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL
lock.
The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by
the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It
really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a
single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that
pretty much any disk subsystem can handle.
So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move
the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to
push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the
push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space
to become available in the log.
This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters
will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push
first" order.
Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more
effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from
loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the
list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every
time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try
to lock and/or push items that we cannot move.
Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the
AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list
contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would
cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate
the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

During delayed allocation extent conversion or unwritten extent
conversion, we need to reserve some blocks for transactions reservations.
We need to reserve these blocks in case a btree split occurs and we need
to allocate some blocks.
Unfortunately, we've only ever reserved the number of data blocks we are
allocating, so in both the unwritten and delalloc case we can get ENOSPC
to the transaction reservation. This is bad because in both cases we
cannot report the failure to the writing application.
The fix is two-fold:
1 - leverage the reserved block infrastructure XFS already
has to reserve a small pool of blocks by default to allow
specially marked transactions to dip into when we are at
ENOSPC.
Default setting is min(5%, 1024 blocks).
2 - convert critical transaction reservations to be allowed
to dip into this pool. Spots changed are delalloc
conversion, unwritten extent conversion and growing a
filesystem at ENOSPC.
This also allows growing the filesytsem to succeed at ENOSPC.

When we are unmounting the filesystem, we flush all the inodes to disk.
Unfortunately, if we have an inode cluster that has just been freed and
marked stale sitting in an incore log buffer (i.e. hasn't been flushed to
disk), it will be holding all the flush locks on the inodes in that
cluster.
xfs_iflush_all() which is called during unmount walks all the inodes
trying to reclaim them, and it doing so calls xfs_finish_reclaim() on each
inode. If the inode is dirty, if grabs the flush lock and flushes it.
Unfortunately, find dirty inodes that already have their flush lock held
and so we sleep.
At this point in the unmount process, we are running single-threaded.
There is nothing more that can push on the log to force the transaction
holding the inode flush locks to disk and hence we deadlock.
The fix is to issue a log force before flushing the inodes on unmount so
that all the flush locks will be released before we start flushing the
inodes.

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....

The existing per-cpu superblock counter code uses the global superblock
spin lock when we approach ENOSPC for global synchronisation. On larger
machines than this code was originally tested on this can still get
catastrophic spinlock contention due increasing rebalance frequency near
ENOSPC.
By introducing a sleeping lock that is used to serialise balances and
modifications near ENOSPC we prevent contention from needlessly from
wasting the CPU time of potentially hundreds of CPUs.
To reduce the number of balances occuring, we separate the need rebalance
case from the slow allocate case. Now, a counter running dry will trigger
a rebalance during which counters are disabled. Any thread that sees a
disabled counter enters a different path where it waits on the new mutex.
When it gets the new mutex, it checks if the counter is disabled. If the
counter is disabled, then we _know_ that we have to use the global counter
and lock and it is safe to do so immediately. Otherwise, we drop the mutex
and go back to trying the per-cpu counters which we know were re-enabled.

The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on
allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not
leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we
needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list
and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times.
However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free
list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could
cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying
to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the
AG.
The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the
inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those
blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and
makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block
ioctl respect this requirement.

space allocated, this could potentially cause out-of-order locking, thus
deadlock could happen. This fix mitigates the scarce space for allocation
by setting aside a few blocks without reservation, and avoid deadlock by
maintaining ascending order of AGF locking.

a preēmpt counter overflow at 256p and above. Change the exclusion
mechanism to use atomic bit operations and busy wait loops to emulate the
spin lock exclusion mechanism but without the preempt count issues.

threads, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor for
buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in the incore
superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is no global lock to limit
scalability.

This patch switches XFS over to use the new mutex code directly as
opposed to the previous workaround patch I posted earlier that avoided
the namespace clash by forcing it back to semaphores. This falls in the
'works for me<tm>' category.

the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area,
rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both
upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute
space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large
jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be
forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options.

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!
