Add mmap(2) support It's worth taking a moment to describe how mmap is implemented for zfs because it differs considerably from other Linux filesystems. However, this issue is handled the same way under OpenSolaris. The issue is that by design zfs bypasses the Linux page cache and leaves all caching up to the ARC. This has been shown to work well for the common read(2)/write(2) case. However, mmap(2) is problem because it relies on being tightly integrated with the page cache. To handle this we cache mmap'ed files twice, once in the ARC and a second time in the page cache. The code is careful to keep both copies synchronized. When a file with an mmap'ed region is written to using write(2) both the data in the ARC and existing pages in the page cache are updated. For a read(2) data will be read first from the page cache then the ARC if needed. Neither a write(2) or read(2) will will ever result in new pages being added to the page cache. New pages are added to the page cache only via .readpage() which is called when the vfs needs to read a page off disk to back the virtual memory region. These pages may be modified without notifying the ARC and will be written out periodically via .writepage(). This will occur due to either a sync or the usual page aging behavior. Note because a read(2) of a mmap'ed file will always check the page cache first even when the ARC is out of date correct data will still be returned. While this implementation ensures correct behavior it does have have some drawbacks. The most obvious of which is that it increases the required memory footprint when access mmap'ed files. It also adds additional complexity to the code keeping both caches synchronized. Longer term it may be possible to cleanly resolve this wart by mapping page cache pages directly on to the ARC buffers. The Linux address space operations are flexible enough to allow selection of which pages back a particular index. The trick would be working out the details of which subsystem is in charge, the ARC, the page cache, or both. It may also prove helpful to move the ARC buffers to a scatter-gather lists rather than a vmalloc'ed region. Additionally, zfs_write/read_common() were used in the readpage and writepage hooks because it was fairly easy. However, it would be better to update zfs_fillpage and zfs_putapage to be Linux friendly and use them instead.

Correctly lock pages for .readpages() Unlike the .readpage() callback which is passed a single locked page to be populated. The .readpages() callback is passed a list of unlocked pages which are all marked for read-ahead (PG_readahead set). It is the responsibly of .readpages() to ensure to pages are properly locked before being populated. Prior to this change the requested read-ahead pages would be updated outside of the page lock which is unsafe. The unlocked pages would then be unlocked again which is harmless but should have been immediately detected as bug. Unfortunately, newer kernels failed detect this issue because the check is done with a VM_BUG_ON which is disabled by default. Luckily, the old Debian Lenny 2.6.26 kernel caught this because it simply uses a BUG_ON. The straight forward fix for this is to update the .readpages() callback to use the read_cache_pages() helper function. The helper function will ensure that each page in the list is properly locked before it is passed to the .readpage() callback. In addition resolving the bug, this results in a nice simplification of the existing code. The downside to this change is that instead of passing one large read request to the dmu multiple smaller ones are submitted. All of these requests however are marked for readahead so the lower layers should issue a large I/O regardless. Thus most of the request should hit the ARC cache. Futher optimization of this code can be done in the future is a perform analysis determines it to be worthwhile. But for the moment, it is preferable that code be correct and understandable.

Correctly lock pages for .readpages() Unlike the .readpage() callback which is passed a single locked page to be populated. The .readpages() callback is passed a list of unlocked pages which are all marked for read-ahead (PG_readahead set). It is the responsibly of .readpages() to ensure to pages are properly locked before being populated. Prior to this change the requested read-ahead pages would be updated outside of the page lock which is unsafe. The unlocked pages would then be unlocked again which is harmless but should have been immediately detected as bug. Unfortunately, newer kernels failed detect this issue because the check is done with a VM_BUG_ON which is disabled by default. Luckily, the old Debian Lenny 2.6.26 kernel caught this because it simply uses a BUG_ON. The straight forward fix for this is to update the .readpages() callback to use the read_cache_pages() helper function. The helper function will ensure that each page in the list is properly locked before it is passed to the .readpage() callback. In addition resolving the bug, this results in a nice simplification of the existing code. The downside to this change is that instead of passing one large read request to the dmu multiple smaller ones are submitted. All of these requests however are marked for readahead so the lower layers should issue a large I/O regardless. Thus most of the request should hit the ARC cache. Futher optimization of this code can be done in the future is a perform analysis determines it to be worthwhile. But for the moment, it is preferable that code be correct and understandable.

Cleanup mmap(2) writes While the existing implementation of .writepage()/zpl_putpage() was functional it was not entirely correct. In particular, it would move dirty pages in to a clean state simply after copying them in to the ARC cache. This would result in the pages being lost if the system were to crash enough though the Linux VFS believed them to be safe on stable storage. Since at the moment virtually all I/O, except mmap(2), bypasses the page cache this isn't as bad as it sounds. However, as hopefully start using the page cache more getting this right becomes more important so it's good to improve this now. This patch takes a big step in that direction by updating the code to correctly move dirty pages through a writeback phase before they are marked clean. When a dirty page is copied in to the ARC it will now be set in writeback and a completion callback is registered with the transaction. The page will stay in writeback until the dmu runs the completion callback indicating the page is on stable storage. At this point the page can be safely marked clean. This process is normally entirely asynchronous and will be repeated for every dirty page. This may initially sound inefficient but most of these pages will end up in a few txgs. That means when they are eventually written to disk they should be nicely batched. However, there is room for improvement. It may still be desirable to batch up the pages in to larger writes for the dmu. This would reduce the number of callbacks and small 4k buffer required by the ARC. Finally, if the caller requires that the I/O be done synchronously by setting WB_SYNC_ALL or if ZFS_SYNC_ALWAYS is set. Then the I/O will trigger a zil_commit() to flush the data to stable storage. At which point the registered callbacks will be run leaving the date safe of disk and marked clean before returning from .writepage. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Add mmap(2) support It's worth taking a moment to describe how mmap is implemented for zfs because it differs considerably from other Linux filesystems. However, this issue is handled the same way under OpenSolaris. The issue is that by design zfs bypasses the Linux page cache and leaves all caching up to the ARC. This has been shown to work well for the common read(2)/write(2) case. However, mmap(2) is problem because it relies on being tightly integrated with the page cache. To handle this we cache mmap'ed files twice, once in the ARC and a second time in the page cache. The code is careful to keep both copies synchronized. When a file with an mmap'ed region is written to using write(2) both the data in the ARC and existing pages in the page cache are updated. For a read(2) data will be read first from the page cache then the ARC if needed. Neither a write(2) or read(2) will will ever result in new pages being added to the page cache. New pages are added to the page cache only via .readpage() which is called when the vfs needs to read a page off disk to back the virtual memory region. These pages may be modified without notifying the ARC and will be written out periodically via .writepage(). This will occur due to either a sync or the usual page aging behavior. Note because a read(2) of a mmap'ed file will always check the page cache first even when the ARC is out of date correct data will still be returned. While this implementation ensures correct behavior it does have have some drawbacks. The most obvious of which is that it increases the required memory footprint when access mmap'ed files. It also adds additional complexity to the code keeping both caches synchronized. Longer term it may be possible to cleanly resolve this wart by mapping page cache pages directly on to the ARC buffers. The Linux address space operations are flexible enough to allow selection of which pages back a particular index. The trick would be working out the details of which subsystem is in charge, the ARC, the page cache, or both. It may also prove helpful to move the ARC buffers to a scatter-gather lists rather than a vmalloc'ed region. Additionally, zfs_write/read_common() were used in the readpage and writepage hooks because it was fairly easy. However, it would be better to update zfs_fillpage and zfs_putapage to be Linux friendly and use them instead.

Fix zpl_writepage() deadlock Disable the normal reclaim path for zpl_putpage(). This ensures that all memory allocations under this call path will never enter direct reclaim. If this were to happen the VM might try to write out additional pages by calling zpl_putpage() again resulting in a deadlock. This sitution is typically handled in Linux by marking each offending allocation GFP_NOFS. However, since much of the code used is common it makes more sense to use PF_MEMALLOC to flag the entire call tree. Alternately, the code could be updated to pass the needed allocation flags but that's a more invasive change.

For a read(2) data will be read first from the page cache then the ARC if needed. Neither a write(2) or read(2) will will ever result in new pages being added to the page cache. New pages are added to the page cache only via .readpage() which is called when the vfs needs to read a page off disk to back the virtual memory region. These pages may be modified without notifying the ARC and will be written out periodically via .writepage(). This will occur due to either a sync or the usual page aging behavior. Note because a read(2) of a mmap'ed file will always check the page cache first even when the ARC is out of date correct data will still be returned. While this implementation ensures correct behavior it does have have some drawbacks. The most obvious of which is that it increases the required memory footprint when access mmap'ed files. It also adds additional complexity to the code keeping both caches synchronized. Longer term it may be possible to cleanly resolve this wart by mapping page cache pages directly on to the ARC buffers. The Linux address space operations are flexible enough to allow selection of which pages back a particular index. The trick would be working out the details of which subsystem is in charge, the ARC, the page cache, or both. It may also prove helpful to move the ARC buffers to a scatter-gather lists rather than a vmalloc'ed region. Additionally, zfs_write/read_common() were used in the readpage and writepage hooks because it was fairly easy. However, it would be better to update zfs_fillpage and zfs_putapage to be Linux friendly and use them instead.

Add mmap(2) support It's worth taking a moment to describe how mmap is implemented for zfs because it differs considerably from other Linux filesystems. However, this issue is handled the same way under OpenSolaris. The issue is that by design zfs bypasses the Linux page cache and leaves all caching up to the ARC. This has been shown to work well for the common read(2)/write(2) case. However, mmap(2) is problem because it relies on being tightly integrated with the page cache. To handle this we cache mmap'ed files twice, once in the ARC and a second time in the page cache. The code is careful to keep both copies synchronized.
