[PATCH 0/3] xfs: regression fixes for 3.16-rc5

[Dave Chinner]

Hi folks,

These three patches are fixes for recent regressions. The first two
are fixing up the mess that making the allocation workqueue kswapd
aware. The first reverts the original patch, and the second moves
the stack switch to the problematic double btree split path rather
than being done for all writeback allocation. This allows the stack
split to be done unconditionally for all allocations due to the
relative rarity of it occurring now, and allows the kswapd awareness
to be passed because we aren't going to swamp memory reclaim with
hundreds of concurrent allocation requests from "kswapd" context.

The last patch is for an older regression, and one that was tripped
over recently when fixing up v3.2.0 of repair. It only affects
people who are switching from newer kernels to older kernels and
have only user quotas enabled. That combination shouldn't be too
frequent - the fact the bug has been there since 3.12 indicates that
this, indeed, isn't a frequent occurrence. Still, it needs to be
fixed.

Comments, thoughts, and testing all welcome...

-Dave.

[PATCH 1/3] Revert "xfs: block allocation work needs to be kswapd aware"

[Dave Chinner]

This reverts commit 1f6d64829db78a7e1d63e15c9f48f0a5d2b5a679.

This commit resulted in regressions in performance in low
memory situations where kswapd was doing writeback of delayed
allocation blocks. It resulted in significant parallelism of the
kswapd work and with the special kswapd flags meant that hundreds of
active allocation could dip into kswapd specific memory reserves and
avoid being throttled. This cause a large amount of performance
variation, as well as random OOM-killer invocations that didn't
previously exist.

I was going to suggest to keep the bool types, but that's fixed up in
the subsequent patch. ;) Looks good...

[PATCH 2/3] xfs: refine the allocation stack switch

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

The allocation stack switch at xfs_bmapi_allocate() has served it's
purpose, but is no longer a sufficient solution to the stack usage
problem we have in the XFS allocation path.

Whilst the kernel stack size is now 16k, that is not a valid reason
for undoing all our "keep stack usage down" modifications. What it
does allow us to do is have the freedom to refine and perfect the
modifications knowing that if we get it wrong it won't blow up in
our faces - we have a safety net now.

This is important because we still have the issue of older kernels
having smaller stacks and that they are still supported and are
demonstrating a wide range of different stack overflows.  Red Hat
has several open bugs for allocation based stack overflows from
directory modifications and direct IO block allocation and these
problems still need to be solved. If we can solve them upstream,
then distro's won't need to bake their own unique solutions.

To that end, I've observed that every allocation based stack
overflow report has had a specific characteristic - it has happened
during or directly after a bmap btree block split. That event
requires a new block to be allocated to the tree, and so we
effectively stack one allocation stack on top of another, and that's
when we get into trouble.

A further observation is that bmap btree block splits are much rarer
than writeback allocation - over a range of different workloads I've
observed the ratio of bmap btree inserts to splits ranges from 100:1
(xfstests run) to 10000:1 (local VM image server with sparse files
that range in the hundreds of thousands to millions of extents).
Either way, bmap btree split events are much, much rarer than
allocation events.

Finally, we have to move the kswapd state to the allocation workqueue
work when allocation is done on behalf of kswapd. This is proving to
cause significant perturbation in performance under memory pressure
and appears to be generating allocation deadlock warnings under some
workloads, so avoiding the use of a workqueue for the majority of
kswapd writeback allocation will minimise the impact of such
behaviour.

Hence it makes sense to move the stack switch to xfs_btree_split()
and only do it for bmap btree splits. Stack switches during
allocation will be much rarer, so there won't be significant
performacne overhead caused by switching stacks. The worse case
stack from all allocation paths will be split, not just writeback.
And the majority of memory allocations will be done in the correct
context (e.g. kswapd) without causing additional latency, and so we
simplify the memory reclaim interactions between processes,
workqueues and kswapd.

The worst stack I've been able to generate with this patch in place
is 5600 bytes deep. It's very revealing because we exit XFS at:

37)     1768      64   kmem_cache_alloc+0x13b/0x170

about 1800 bytes of stack consumed, and the remaining 3800 bytes
(and 36 functions) is memory reclaim, swap and the IO stack. And
this occurs in the inode allocation from an open(O_CREAT) syscall,
not writeback.

The amount of stack being used is much less than I've previously be
able to generate - fs_mark testing has been able to generate stack
usage of around 7k without too much trouble; with this patch it's
only just getting to 5.5k. This is primarily because the metadata
allocation paths (e.g. directory blocks) are no longer causing
double splits on the same stack, and hence now stack tracing is
showing swapping being the worst stack consumer rather than XFS.

Performance of fs_mark inode create workloads is unchanged.
Performance of fs_mark async fsync workloads is consistently good
with context switches reduced by around 150,000/s (30%).
Performance of dbench, streaming IO and postmark is unchanged.
Allocation deadlock warnings have not been seen on the workloads
that generated them since adding this patch.

Neither stack_switch nor kswapd are used any longer. Removal of
stack_switch means that the XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag can go away as
well.

Looks like this can remain static. The rest looks Ok to me, but I'll run
some tests too.

[PATCH 3/3] xfs: null unused quota inodes when quota is on

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When quota is on, it is expected that unused quota inodes have a
value of NULLFSINO. The changes to support a separate project quota
in 3.12 broken this rule for non-project quota inode enabled
filesystem, as the code now refuses to write the group quota inode
if neither group or project quotas are enabled. This regression was
introduced by commit d892d58 ("xfs: Start using pquotaino from the
superblock").

In this case, we should be writing NULLFSINO rather than nothing to
ensure that we leave the group quota inode in a valid state while
quotas are enabled.

Failure to do so doesn't cause a current kernel to break - the
separate project quota inodes introduced translation code to always
treat a zero inode as NULLFSINO. This was introduced by commit
0102629 ("xfs: Initialize all quota inodes to be NULLFSINO") with is
also in 3.12 but older kernels do not do this and hence taking a
filesystem back to an older kernel can result in quotas failing
initialisation at mount time. When that happens, we see this in
dmesg:

[ 1649.215390] XFS (sdb): Mounting Filesystem
[ 1649.316894] XFS (sdb): Failed to initialize disk quotas.
[ 1649.316902] XFS (sdb): Ending clean mount

By ensuring that we write NULLFSINO to quota inodes that aren't
active, we avoid this problem.

sb_uquotino does not require any translation, but sb_pquotino simply
doesn't exist on older sb's, right? Is that what you mean to say here?
E.g., we clear XFS_SB_PQUOTINO from fields below, so the field loop
isn't going to write it (and I take that's the right thing to do).

We update the field manually and clear the flag bit so the loop doesn't
handle it. Seems Ok, despite my minor confusion over the above comment:

Yeah, it's a bit messy. And I'm really thinking that given how
rarely we change the superblock, we should just convert it to the
same "convert everything" mechanism we use for all the other on-disk
formatting functions. i.e. get rid of all the bitfield crap....

Cheers,

Dave.

Actually there is a problem with different options, so likely more fixes is 
needed. gquotinode doesn't get allocated if mounted with grpquota:

Ok, I can reproduce that.

What a freakin' mess.

We can't unconditionally write NULLFSINO to the field because of the
way the updates and logging of the superblock buffer work - it only
updates the fields that are changed, so most updates (which occur
during mount or unmount) don't set the quota inode fields at all.

In fact, the whole "only write the specific sb fields" code seems
like an optimisation that is no longer needed, given that we never
actually update or log the superblock buffer in a fast path anymore.

So, for the dev tree, I'm just going to rip all this crap out. As to
a small, targeted regression fix, well, I haven't worked that out
yet....

-Dave.

[PATCH 0/3, V2] xfs; fixes for 3.16-rc5

[Dave Chinner]

Hi folks,

This is an updated series of fixes for 3.16-rc5, first posted here:

http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/xfs/2014-July/037159.html

The first patch is unchanged, the other two have been modified as a
result of review feedback (thanks Brian and Arkadiusz!).

Please review and test.

-Dave.

Version 2
- get rid of unused flags in struct xfs_bmalloca
- get rid of XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH
- fix gquotino being NULLed incorrectly when group quota was enabled
  on filesystems with a shared group/project quota inode.

[PATCH 1/3] Revert "xfs: block allocation work needs to be kswapd aware"

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

This reverts commit 1f6d64829db78a7e1d63e15c9f48f0a5d2b5a679.

This commit resulted in regressions in performance in low
memory situations where kswapd was doing writeback of delayed
allocation blocks. It resulted in significant parallelism of the
kswapd work and with the special kswapd flags meant that hundreds of
active allocation could dip into kswapd specific memory reserves and
avoid being throttled. This cause a large amount of performance
variation, as well as random OOM-killer invocations that didn't
previously exist.
