Remaining pages can be released when the system has really few memory. So, it is not memory leakage. But the resource management software etc. may not work correctly. It is possible that journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release the buffers, and the pages to which they belong because they are attached to a commiting transaction and journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release them. To release such the buffers and the pages later, journal_unmap_buffer() leaves it to journal_commit_transaction().

In the journalled mode and the writeback mode, jbd does with only metadata buffers. But in the ordered mode, jbd does with metadata buffers and also data buffers. Actually, journal_commit_transaction() releases only the metadata buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer(), and also releases the pages to which they belong if possible. As a result, the data buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer() remain after a transaction commits. And also the pages to which they belong remain. Such the remained pages don't have mapping any longer. Due to this fact, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated remain. The metadata buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong can be released at 'JBD: commit phase 7'. Therefore, by applying the same code into 'JBD: commit phase 2' (where the data buffers are done with), journal_commit_transaction() can also release the data buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong. As a result, all the buffers marked 'BH_Freed' can be released, and also all the pages to which these buffers belong can be released at journal_commit_transaction(). So, the page which cannot be estimated is lost. <<Excerpt of code at 'JBD: commit phase 7'>> > spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); > while (commit_transaction->t_forget) { > transaction_t *cp_transaction; > struct buffer_head *bh; > > jh = commit_transaction->t_forget; >... > if (buffer_freed(bh)) { > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_freed(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_jbddirty(bh); > } > > if (buffer_jbddirty(bh)) { > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "add to new checkpointing trans"); > __journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction); > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile for checkpoint writeback"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > } else { > J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh)); > ... > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile or unfile freed buffer"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > if (!jh->b_transaction) { > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > /* needs a brelse */ > journal_remove_journal_head(bh); > release_buffer_page(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > } else > } **************************************************************** * Apply the code of "^^^^^^" lines into 'JBD: commit phase 2' * **************************************************************** At journal_commit_transaction() code, there is one extra message in the series of jbd debug messages.

ext3 can fail badly when device stops accepting BIO_RW_BARRIER requests Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. ext3 (and other filesystems) deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling for this for ext3. When ext3 (jbd actually) decides to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal. This can be seen without having to reconfigure a device at exactly the wrong time by putting: if (buffer_ordered(bh)) printk("OH DEAR, and ordered buffer\n"); in the while loop in "commit phase 5" of journal_commit_transaction. If it ever prints the "OH DEAR ..." message (as it does sometimes for me), then that request could (in different circumstances) have failed with EOPNOTSUPP, but that isn't tested for. My proposed fix is to clear the buffer_ordered flag after it has been used, as in the following patch.

jbd: positively dispose the unmapped data buffers in journal_commit_transaction() After ext3-ordered files are truncated, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated still remain. Remaining pages can be released when the system has really few memory. So, it is not memory leakage. But the resource management software etc. may not work correctly. It is possible that journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release the buffers, and the pages to which they belong because they are attached to a commiting transaction and journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release them. To release such the buffers and the pages later, journal_unmap_buffer() leaves it to journal_commit_transaction(). (journal_unmap_buffer() puts the mark 'BH_Freed' to the buffers so that journal_commit_transaction() can identify whether they can be released or not.) In the journalled mode and the writeback mode, jbd does with only metadata buffers. But in the ordered mode, jbd does with metadata buffers and also data buffers. Actually, journal_commit_transaction() releases only the metadata buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer(), and also releases the pages to which they belong if possible. As a result, the data buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer() remain after a transaction commits. And also the pages to which they belong remain. Such the remained pages don't have mapping any longer. Due to this fact, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated remain. The metadata buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong can be released at 'JBD: commit phase 7'. Therefore, by applying the same code into 'JBD: commit phase 2' (where the data buffers are done with), journal_commit_transaction() can also release the data buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong. As a result, all the buffers marked 'BH_Freed' can be released, and also all the pages to which these buffers belong can be released at journal_commit_transaction(). So, the page which cannot be estimated is lost. <<Excerpt of code at 'JBD: commit phase 7'>> > spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); > while (commit_transaction->t_forget) { > transaction_t *cp_transaction; > struct buffer_head *bh; > > jh = commit_transaction->t_forget; >... > if (buffer_freed(bh)) { > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_freed(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_jbddirty(bh); > } > > if (buffer_jbddirty(bh)) { > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "add to new checkpointing trans"); > __journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction); > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile for checkpoint writeback"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > } else { > J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh)); > ... > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile or unfile freed buffer"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > if (!jh->b_transaction) { > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > /* needs a brelse */ > journal_remove_journal_head(bh); > release_buffer_page(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > } else > } **************************************************************** * Apply the code of "^^^^^^" lines into 'JBD: commit phase 2' * **************************************************************** At journal_commit_transaction() code, there is one extra message in the series of jbd debug messages.

jbd: improve fsync batching There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

jbd: fix possible journal overflow issues There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter. This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space. The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer. This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs. Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.

[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction() Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and buffer is not jbddirty). !jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means that it has been freed by this transaction. Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed (that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set. And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm. Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

jbd: improve fsync batching There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.
