Pull AIO leak fixes from Ben LaHaise: "I've put these two patches plus Linus's change through a round of tests, and it passes millions of iterations of the aio numa migratepage test, as well as a number of repetitions of a few simple read and write tests. The first patch fixes the memory leak Kent introduced, while the second patch makes aio_migratepage() much more paranoid and robust" * git://git.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-next: aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane aio: fix kioctx leak introduced by "aio: Fix a trinity splat"

aio: clean up and fix aio_setup_ring page mapping

2013-12-22T19:03:08Z

Since commit 36bc08cc01709 ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7dabc ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane

2013-12-21T22:56:08Z

The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.

aio: fix kioctx leak introduced by "aio: Fix a trinity splat"

2013-12-21T20:57:09Z

e34ecee2ae791df674dfb466ce40692ca6218e43 reworked the percpu reference counting to correct a bug trinity found. Unfortunately, the change lead to kioctxes being leaked because there was no final reference count to put. Add that reference count back in to fix things.

pstore: Don't allow high traffic options on fragile devices

2013-12-20T21:12:01Z

Some pstore backing devices use on board flash as persistent storage. These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

xfs: abort metadata writeback on permanent errors

2013-12-17T15:40:23Z

If we are doing aysnc writeback of metadata, we can get write errors but have nobody to report them to. At the moment, we simply attempt to reissue the write from io completion in the hope that it's a transient error. When it's not a transient error, the buffer is stuck forever in this loop, and we cannot break out of it. Eventually, unmount will hang because the AIL cannot be emptied and everything goes downhill from them. To solve this problem, only retry the write IO once before aborting it. We don't throw the buffer away because some transient errors can last minutes (e.g. FC path failover) or even hours (thin provisioned devices that have run out of backing space) before they go away. Hence we really want to keep trying until we can't try any more. Because the buffer was not cleaned, however, it does not get removed from the AIL and hence the next pass across the AIL will start IO on it again. As such, we still get the "retry forever" semantics that we currently have, but we allow other access to the buffer in the mean time. Meanwhile the filesystem can continue to modify the buffer and relog it, so the IO errors won't hang the log or the filesystem. Now when we are pushing the AIL, we can see all these "permanent IO error" buffers and we can issue a warning about failures before we retry the IO. We can also catch these buffers when unmounting an issue a corruption warning, too. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Ben Myers

xfs: swalloc doesn't align allocations properly

2013-12-17T15:30:12Z

When swalloc is specified as a mount option, allocations are supposed to be aligned to the stripe width rather than the stripe unit of the underlying filesystem. However, it does not do this. What the implementation does is round up the allocation size to a stripe width, hence ensuring that all allocations span a full stripe width. It does not, however, ensure that that allocation is aligned to a stripe width, and hence the allocations can span multiple underlying stripes and so still see RMW cycles for things like direct IO on MD RAID. So, if the swalloc mount option is set, change the allocation alignment in xfs_bmap_btalloc() to use the stripe width rather than the stripe unit.
