ocfs2's allocation unit is the cluster. This can be larger than a block
or even a memory page. This means that a file may have many blocks in
its last extent that are beyond the block containing i_size. There also
may be more unwritten extents after that.
When ocfs2 grows a file, it zeros the entire cluster in order to ensure
future i_size growth will see cleared blocks. Unfortunately,
block_write_full_page() drops the pages past i_size. This means that
ocfs2 is actually leaking garbage data into the tail end of that last
cluster. This is a bug.
We adjust ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() and ocfs2_extend_file() to detect
when a write or truncate is past i_size. They will use
ocfs2_zero_extend() to ensure the data is properly zeroed.
Older versions of ocfs2_zero_extend() simply zeroed every block between
i_size and the zeroing position. This presumes three things:
1) There is allocation for all of these blocks.
2) The extents are not unwritten.
3) The extents are not refcounted.
(1) and (2) hold true for non-sparse filesystems, which used to be the
only users of ocfs2_zero_extend(). (3) is another bug.
Since we're now using ocfs2_zero_extend() for sparse filesystems as
well, we teach ocfs2_zero_extend() to check every extent between
i_size and the zeroing position. If the extent is unwritten, it is
ignored. If it is refcounted, it is CoWed. Then it is zeroed.

ocfs2_zero_extend() does its zeroing block by block, but it calls a
function named ocfs2_write_zero_page(). Let's have
ocfs2_write_zero_page() handle the page level. From
ocfs2_zero_extend()'s perspective, it is now page-at-a-time.

In commit 6b82021b9e, we increase
our local alloc size and calculate how much megabytes we can
get according to group size and volume size.
But we also need to check the maximum bits a local alloc block
bitmap can have. With a bs=512, cs=32K, local volume with 160G,
it calculate 96MB while the maximum local alloc size is only
76M. So the bitmap will overflow and corrupt the system truncate
log file. See bug

We used to let orphan scan work in the default work queue,
but there is a corner case which will make the system deadlock.
The scenario is like this:
1. set heartbeat threadshold to 200. this will allow us to have a
great chance to have a orphan scan work before our quorum decision.
2. mount node 1.
3. after 1~2 minutes, mount node 2(in order to make the bug easier
to reproduce, better add maxcpus=1 to kernel command line).
4. node 1 do orphan scan work.
5. node 2 do orphan scan work.
6. node 1 do orphan scan work. After this, node 1 hold the orphan scan
lock while node 2 know node 1 is the master.
7. ifdown eth2 in node 2(eth2 is what we do ocfs2 interconnection).
Now when node 2 begins orphan scan, the system queue is blocked.
The root cause is that both orphan scan work and quorum decision work
will use the system event work queue. orphan scan has a chance of
blocking the event work queue(in dlm_wait_for_node_death) so that there
is no chance for quorum decision work to proceed.
This patch resolve it by moving orphan scan work to ocfs2_wq.

OCFS2 had three issues with quota locking:
a) When reading dquot from global quota file, we started a transaction while
holding dqio_mutex which is prone to deadlocks because other paths do it
the other way around
b) During ocfs2_sync_dquot we were not protected against concurrent writers
on the same node. Because we first copy data to local buffer, a race
could happen resulting in old data being written to global quota file and
thus causing quota inconsistency after a crash.
c) ip_alloc_sem of quota files was acquired while a transaction is started
in ocfs2_quota_write which can deadlock because we first get ip_alloc_sem
and then start a transaction when extending quota files.
We fix the problem a) by pulling all necessary code to ocfs2_acquire_dquot
and ocfs2_release_dquot. Thus we no longer depend on generic dquot_acquire
to do the locking and can force proper lock ordering.
Problems b) and c) are fixed by locking i_mutex and ip_alloc_sem of
global quota file in ocfs2_lock_global_qf and removing ip_alloc_sem from
ocfs2_quota_read and ocfs2_quota_write.

In normal xattr set, the set sequence is inode, xattr block
and finally xattr bucket if we meet with a ENOSPC. But there
is a corner case.
So consider we will set a xattr whose value will be stored in
a cluster, and there is no xattr block by now. So we will
reserve 1 xattr block and 1 cluster for setting it. Now if we
fail in value extension(in case the volume is almost full and
we can't allocate the cluster because the check in
ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable), ENOSPC will be returned. So
we will try to create a bucket(this time there is a chance that
the reserved cluster will be used), and when we try value extension
again, kernel bug happens. We did meet with it. Check the bug below.

This patch simplifies the logic of handling existing holes and
skipping extent blocks and removes some confusing comments.
The patch survived the fill_verify_holes testcase in ocfs2-test.
It also passed my manual sanity check and stress tests with enormous
extent records.
Currently punching a hole on a file with 3+ extent tree depth was
really a performance disaster. It can even take several hours,
though we may not hit this in real life with such a huge extent
number.
One simple way to improve the performance is quite straightforward.
From the logic of truncate, we can punch the hole from hole_end to
hole_start, which reduces the overhead of btree operations in a
significant way, such as tree rotation and moving.
Following is the testing result when punching hole from 0 to file end
in bytes, on a 1G file, 1G file consists of 256k extent records, each record
cover 4k data(just one cluster, clustersize is 4k):
===========================================================================
* Original punching-hole mechanism:
===========================================================================
I waited 1 hour for its completion, unfortunately it's still ongoing.
===========================================================================
* Patched punching-hode mechanism:
===========================================================================
real 0m2.518s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m2.445s
That means we've gained up to 1000 times improvement on performance in this
case, whee! It's fairly cool. and it looks like that performance gain will
be raising when extent records grow.
The patch was based on my former 2 patches, which were about truncating
codes optimization and fixup to handle CoW on punching hole.

Truncate is just a special case of punching holes(from new i_size to
end), we therefore could take advantage of the existing
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() to reduce the comlexity and redundancy in
alloc.c. The goal here is to make truncate more generic and
straightforward.
Several functions only used by ocfs2_commit_truncate() will smiply be
removed.
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() was originally used by the hole punching
code, which didn't take refcount trees into account (definitely a bug).
We therefore need to change that func a bit to handle refcount trees.
It must take the refcount lock, calculate and reserve blocks for
refcount tree changes, and decrease refcounts at the end. We replace
ocfs2_lock_allocators() here by adding a new func
ocfs2_reserve_blocks_for_rec_trunc() which accepts some extra blocks to
reserve. This will not hurt any other code using
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() (such as dir truncate and hole punching).
I merged the following steps into one patch since they may be
logically doing one thing, though I know it looks a little bit fat
to review.
1). Remove redundant code used by ocfs2_commit_truncate(), since we're
moving to ocfs2_remove_btree_range anyway.
2). Add a new func ocfs2_reserve_blocks_for_rec_trunc() for purpose of
accepting some extra blocks to reserve.
3). Change ocfs2_prepare_refcount_change_for_del() a bit to fit our
needs. It's safe to do this since it's only being called by
truncate.
4). Change ocfs2_remove_btree_range() a bit to take refcount case into
account.
5). Finally, we change ocfs2_commit_truncate() to call
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() in a proper way.
The patch has been tested normally for sanity check, stress tests
with heavier workload will be expected.
Based on this patch, fixing the punching holes bug will be fairly easy.

in most cases we want additional reserved blocks. It makes our code
harder to mantain since the caller can't be sure all the original
blocks will not be accessed and dirtied again. There are 15 callers
of ocfs2_extend_trans() in fs/ocfs2, and 12 of them have to add

ocfs2_extend_trans() really extend atop the original block count.

The only chance we have to adjust the reservation is when we haven't

The default reservation size of 4 (32-bit windows) is a bit too ambitious.
Scale it back to 16 bits (resv_level=2). I have been testing various sizes
on a 4-node cluster which runs a mixed workload that is heavily threaded.
With a 256MB local alloc, I get *roughly* the following levels of average file
fragmentation:
resv_level=0 70%
resv_level=1 21%
resv_level=2 23%
resv_level=3 24%
resv_level=4 60%
resv_level=5 did not test
resv_level=6 60%
resv_level=2 seemed like a good compromise between not letting windows be
too small, but not so big that heavier workloads will immediately suffer
without tuning.
This patch also change the behavior of directory reservations - they now
track file reservations. The previous compromise of giving directory
windows only 8 bits wound up fragmenting more at some window sizes because
file allocations had smaller unused windows to poach from.

I have observed that the current size of 8M gives us pretty poor
fragmentation on multi-threaded workloads which do lots of writes.
Generally, I can increase the size of local alloc windows and observe a
marked decrease in fragmentation, even up and beyond window sizes of 512
megabytes. This makes sense for a couple reasons - larger local alloc means
more room for reservation windows. On multi-node workloads the larger local
alloc helps as well because we don't have to do window slides as often.
Also, I removed the OCFS2_DEFAULT_LOCAL_ALLOC_SIZE constant as it is no
longer used and the comment above it was out of date.
To test fragmentation, I used a workload which launched 4 threads that did
4k writes into a series of about 140 alternating files.
With resv_level=2, and a 4k/4k file system I observed the following average
fragmentation for various localalloc= parameters:
localalloc= avg. fragmentation
8 48
32 16
64 10
120 7
On larger cluster sizes, the difference is more dramatic.

This patch pulls the local alloc sizing code into localalloc.c and provides
a callout to it from ocfs2_fill_super(). Behavior is essentially unchanged
except that I correctly calculate the maximum local alloc size. The old code
in ocfs2_parse_options() calculated the max size as:
ocfs2_local_alloc_size(sb) * 8
which is correct, in bits. Unfortunately though the option passed in is in
megabytes. Ultimately, this bug made no real difference - the shrink code
would catch a too-large size and bring it down to something reasonable.
Still, it's less than efficient as-is.
