buffer cache cleanups

buffer cache cleanups

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

over the holidays I dusted off some old buffer cache cleanup as the bio
splitting in the zoned code gave me a better idea how to handle
discontiguous buffer bio submission.  This spiraled a bit into various
additional minor fixes and cleanups.

[PATCH 01/15] xfs: fix a double completion for buffers on in-memory targets

[Christoph Hellwig]

__xfs_buf_submit calls xfs_buf_ioend when b_io_remaining hits zero.  For
in-memory buftargs b_io_remaining is never incremented from it's initial
value of 1, so this always happens.  Thus the extra call to xfs_buf_ioend
in _xfs_buf_ioapply causes a double completion.  Fortunately
__xfs_buf_submit is only used for synchronous reads on in-memory buftargs
due to the peculiarities of how they work, so this is mostly harmless and
just causes a little extra work to be done.

Tempted to add:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v6.9

though I think backporting isn't strictly necessary because in-memory
buffers don't have log items, right?  If so, then we don't need to cc
stable.

The stable CC is fine with me.  But as I tried to explain I think
it's nor really causing problems right now, just a double call
to read_verify.  It is a bit of a landmine, though.

[PATCH 02/15] xfs: remove the incorrect comment above xfs_buf_free_maps

[Christoph Hellwig]

The comment above xfs_buf_free_maps talks about fields not even used in
the function and also doesn't add any other value.  Remove it.

[PATCH 04/15] xfs: move xfs_buf_iowait out of (__)xfs_buf_submit

[Christoph Hellwig]

There is no good reason to pass a bool argument to wait for a buffer when
the callers that want that can easily just wait themselves.

This means the wait moves out of the extra hold of the buffer, but as the
callers of synchronous buffer I/O need to hold a reference anyway that is
perfectly fine.

[PATCH 05/15] xfs: simplify xfs_buf_delwri_pushbuf

xfs_buf_delwri_pushbuf synchronously writes a buffer that is on a delwri
list already.  Instead of doing a complicated dance with the delwri
and wait list, just leave them alone and open code the actual buffer
write.

Why is it ok to ignore the return value here?  Is it because the only
error path in xfs_buf_submit is the xlog_is_shutdown case, in which case
the buffer ioend will have been called already and the EIO will be
returned by xfs_buf_iowait?

A very good question to be asked to the author of the original
xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers code that this go extracted from :)

I think you're provided answer is correct and also implies that we
should either get rid of the xfs_buf_submit return value or check it
more consistently.

[PATCH 06/15] xfs: remove xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers

[Christoph Hellwig]

xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers has two callers for synchronous and
asynchronous writes that share very little logic.  Split out a helper for
the shared per-buffer loop and otherwise open code the submission in the
two callers.

Well, most of that is the comment in the low-level function say it
does either the thing the one callers wants which is already documented
in that caller, or the thing the other caller wants already documented
in that caller..

[PATCH 07/15] xfs: move write verification out of _xfs_buf_ioapply

[Christoph Hellwig]

Split the write verification logic out of _xfs_buf_ioapply into a new
xfs_buf_verify_write helper called by xfs_buf_submit given that it isn't
about applying the I/O and doesn't really fit in with the rest of
_xfs_buf_ioapply.

[PATCH 08/15] xfs: move in-memory buftarg handling out of _xfs_buf_ioapply

[Christoph Hellwig]

No I/O to apply for in-memory buffers, so skip the function call
entirely.  Clean up the b_io_error initialization logic to allow
for this.

[PATCH 09/15] xfs: simplify buffer I/O submission

[Christoph Hellwig]

The code in _xfs_buf_ioapply is unnecessarily complicated because it
doesn't take advantage of modern bio features.

Simplify it by making use of bio splitting and chaining, that is build
a single bio for the pages in the buffer using a simple loop, and then
split that bio on the map boundaries for discontiguous multi-FSB buffers
and chain the split bios to the main one so that there is only a single
I/O completion.

This not only simplifies the code to build the buffer, but also removes
the need for the b_io_remaining field as buffer ownership is granted
to the bio on submit of the final bio with no chance for a completion
before that as well as the b_io_error field that is now superfluous
because there always is exactly one completion.

So I guess b_io_remaining was the count of in-flight bios?  And making a
chain of bios basically just moves all that to the bio layer, so all
xfs_buf needs to know is whether or not a bio is in progress, right?

Eerrugh, I spent quite a while trying to wrap my head around the old
code when I was writing the in-memory xfs_buf support.  This is much
less weird to look at...

Yes.  Plus a bias of 1 for the submitting context so that the
completion isn't run until all bios are submitted.

Yes.

Because the final ("main") bio is submitted outside the loop as the
loop body chains the ones before to it.  I guess this should go into
a comment to confuse the readers a little less.

Ah, right, because we start with one bio for N maps, which means we need
to split it N-1 times to end up with N (chained) bios, one for each map.

Yes, comment please. :)

[PATCH 10/15] xfs: move invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to xfs_buf_ioend

[Christoph Hellwig]

Invalidating cache lines can be fairly expensive, so don't do it
in interrupt context.  Note that in practice very few setup will
actually do anything here as virtually indexed caches are rather
uncommon, but we might as well move the call to the proper place
while touching this area.

Nothing touches the buffer after it has been submitted now, so the need for

[PATCH 12/15] xfs: always complete the buffer inline in xfs_buf_submit

[Christoph Hellwig]

xfs_buf_submit now only completes a buffer on error, or for in-memory
buftargs.  There is no point in using a workqueue for the latter as
the completion will just wake up the caller.  Optimize this case by
avoiding the workqueue roundtrip.

[PATCH 13/15] xfs: simplify xfsaild_resubmit_item

[Christoph Hellwig]

Since commit acc8f8628c37 ("xfs: attach dquot buffer to dquot log item
buffer") all buf items that use bp->b_li_list are explicitly checked for
in the branch to just clears XFS_LI_FAILED.  Remove the dead arm that
calls xfs_clear_li_failed.

[PATCH 14/15] xfs: move b_li_list based retry handling to common code

[Christoph Hellwig]

The dquot and inode version are very similar, which is expected given the
overall b_li_list logic.  The differences are that the inode version also
clears the XFS_LI_FLUSHING which is defined in common but only ever set
by the inode item, and that the dquot version takes the ail_lock over
the list iteration.  While this seems sensible given that additions and
removals from b_li_list are protected by the ail_lock, log items are
only added before buffer submission, and are only removed when completing
the buffer, so nothing can change the list when retrying a buffer.

Heh, I think that's not quite true -- I think xfs_dquot_detach_buf
actually has a bug where it needs to take the buffer lock before
detaching the dquot from the b_li_list.  And I think kfence just whacked
me for that on tonight's fstests run.

But that's neither here nor there.  Moving along...

Should dquot log items be setting XFS_LI_FLUSHING?

That would help to avoid roundtrips into ->iop_push and thus a
dqlock (try)lock roundtrip for them.  So it would be nice to have,
but it's not functionally needed.

Yeah, seems reasonable to me...

buffer cache cleanups v2

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

over the holidays I dusted off some old buffer cache cleanup as the bio
splitting in the zoned code gave me a better idea how to handle
discontiguous buffer bio submission.  This spiraled a bit into various
additional minor fixes and cleanups.

Changes since v1:
 - make xfs_buf_submit return void
 - improve a comment

[PATCH 08/15] xfs: move in-memory buftarg handling out of _xfs_buf_ioapply

[Christoph Hellwig]

No I/O to apply for in-memory buffers, so skip the function call
entirely.  Clean up the b_io_error initialization logic to allow
for this.
