jbd2: fix soft lockup in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers()

2023-12-12T15:25:46Z

There's issue when do io test: WARN: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 11s!

So journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() maybe process slowly. Theoretically, there is scheduling point in the filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors(). However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK, will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup. journal_finish_inode_data_buffers filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors __filemap_fdatawait_range while (index <= end) nr_pages = pagevec_lookup_range_tag(&pvec, mapping, &index, end, PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK); if (!nr_pages) break; --> If 'nr_pages' is equal zero will break, then will not call cond_resched() for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) wait_on_page_writeback(page); cond_resched(); To solve above issue, add scheduling point in the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers(); Signed-off-by: Ye Bin Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231211112544.3879780-1-yebin10@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

jbd2: increase the journal IO's priority

2023-12-01T04:27:39Z

Current jbd2 only add REQ_SYNC for descriptor block, metadata log buffer, commit buffer and superblock buffer, the submitted IO could be throttled by writeback throttle in block layer, that could lead to priority inversion in some cases. The log IO looks like a kind of high priority metadata IO, so it should not be throttled by WBT like QOS policies in block layer, let's add REQ_SYNC | REQ_IDLE to exempt from writeback throttle, and also add REQ_META together indicates it's a metadata IO.

jbd2: Remove page size assumptions

2023-09-07T19:17:02Z

jbd2_alloc() allocates a buffer from slab when the block size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE, and slab may be using a compound page. Before commit 8147c4c4546f, we set b_page to the precise page containing the buffer and this code worked well. Now we set b_page to the head page of the allocation, so we can no longer use offset_in_page(). While we could do a 1:1 replacement with offset_in_folio(), use the more idiomatic bh_offset() and the folio APIs to map the buffer. This isn't enough to support a b_size larger than PAGE_SIZE on HIGHMEM machines, but this is good enough to fix the actual bug we're seeing.

jbd2_journal_submit_inode_data_buffers is only used by ocfs2, so move it there to prepare for removing generic_writepages.

jbd2: switch jbd2_submit_inode_data() to use fs-provided hook for data writeout

2022-12-09T02:49:25Z

jbd2_submit_inode_data() hardcoded use of jbd2_journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() for submission of data pages. Make it use j_submit_inode_data_buffers hook instead. This effectively switches ext4 fastcommits to use ext4_writepages() for data writeout instead of generic_writepages().

jbd2: wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, not LIFO

2022-10-01T03:46:52Z

LIFO wakeup order is unfair and sometimes leads to a journal user not being able to get a journal handle for hundreds of transactions in a row. FIFO wakeup can make things more fair.
