block: Try to handle busy underlying device on discard

2021-03-17T16:11:35Z

commit 56887cffe946bb0a90c74429fa94d6110a73119d upstream. Commit 384d87ef2c95 ("block: Do not discard buffers under a mounted filesystem") made paths issuing discard or zeroout requests to the underlying device try to grab block device in exclusive mode. If that failed we returned EBUSY to userspace. This however caused unexpected fallout in userspace where e.g. FUSE filesystems issue discard requests from userspace daemons although the device is open exclusively by the kernel. Also shrinking of logical volume by LVM issues discard requests to a device which may be claimed exclusively because there's another LV on the same PV. So to avoid these userspace regressions, fall back to invalidate_inode_pages2_range() instead of returning EBUSY to userspace and return EBUSY only of that call fails as well (meaning that there's indeed someone using the particular device range we are trying to discard).

Revert "block: simplify set_init_blocksize" to regain lost performance

2021-01-27T16:14:12Z

The cited commit introduced a serious regression with SATA write speed, as found by bisecting. This patch reverts this commit, which restores write speed back to the values observed before this commit. The performance tests were done on a Helios4 NAS (2nd batch) with 4 HDDs (WD8003FFBX) using dd (bs=1M count=2000). "Direct" is a test with a single HDD, the rest are different RAID levels built over the first partitions of 4 HDDs. Test results are in MB/s, R is read, W is write. | Direct | RAID0 | RAID10 f2 | RAID10 n2 | RAID6 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 9011495c9466 | R:256 | R:313 | R:276 | R:313 | R:323 (before faulty) | W:254 | W:253 | W:195 | W:204 | W:117 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5ff9f19231a0 | R:257 | R:398 | R:312 | R:344 | R:391 (faulty commit) | W:154 | W:122 | W:67.7 | W:66.6 | W:67.2 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5.10.10 | R:256 | R:401 | R:312 | R:356 | R:375 unpatched | W:149 | W:123 | W:64 | W:64.1 | W:61.5 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5.10.10 | R:255 | R:396 | R:312 | R:340 | R:393 patched | W:247 | W:274 | W:220 | W:225 | W:121 Applying this patch doesn't hurt read performance, while improves the write speed by 1.5x - 3.5x (more impact on RAID tests). The write speed is restored back to the state before the faulty commit, and even a bit higher in RAID tests (which aren't HDD-bound on this device) - that is likely related to other optimizations done between the faulty commit and 5.10.10 which also improved the read speed.

block: pre-initialize struct block_device in bdev_alloc_inode

2021-01-08T03:57:53Z

bdev_evict_inode and bdev_free_inode are also called for the root inode of bdevfs, for which bdev_alloc is never called. Move the zeroing o f struct block_device and the initialization of the bd_bdi field into bdev_alloc_inode to make sure they are initialized for the root inode as well.

fs: Fix freeze_bdev()/thaw_bdev() accounting of bd_fsfreeze_sb

2021-01-07T16:25:54Z

freeze/thaw_bdev() currently use bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count to infer whether or not bdev->bd_fsfreeze_sb is valid (it's valid iff bd_fsfreeze_count is non-zero). thaw_bdev() doesn't nullify bd_fsfreeze_sb. But this means a freeze_bdev() call followed by a thaw_bdev() call can leave bd_fsfreeze_sb with a non-null value, while bd_fsfreeze_count is zero. If freeze_bdev() is called again, and this time get_active_super() returns NULL (e.g. because the FS is unmounted), we'll end up with bd_fsfreeze_count > 0, but bd_fsfreeze_sb is *untouched* - it stays the same (now garbage) value. A subsequent thaw_bdev() will decide that the bd_fsfreeze_sb value is legitimate (since bd_fsfreeze_count > 0), and attempt to use it. Fix this by always setting bd_fsfreeze_sb to NULL when bd_fsfreeze_count is successfully decremented to 0 in thaw_sb(). Alternatively, we could set bd_fsfreeze_sb to whatever get_active_super() returns in freeze_bdev() whenever bd_fsfreeze_count is successfully incremented to 1 from 0 (which can be achieved cleanly by moving the line currently setting bd_fsfreeze_sb to immediately after the "sync:" label, but it might be a little too subtle/easily overlooked in future). This fixes the currently panicking xfstests generic/085.

block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with different life time rules, merge them into a single one. This also greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode reference count as the main reference count for the new struct block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device model interaction.

block: allocate struct hd_struct as part of struct bdev_inode

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures. Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead of the hd_struct. The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.
