Subject: Could you help with move-on-write review?
Hi guys,
I would like to ask you as a big favor to review this patch,
not as candidate for inclusion in mainline of course, but as a code/design
review for my new move-on-write hooks. hopefully, some of this code will
find it's way to ext4 some day soon.
The problems with the old data hooks, which I may have mentioned, are:
1. second write to mmaped page did not call get_block() to trigger
move-on-write.
2. quota_write() called next3_bread(create=1) without notifying this
is a partial write and move-on-write has corrupted it's data,
resulting in broken quota file.
3. direct I/O was not supported.
The new design uses 3 buffer head flags to signal get_block() about
move-on-write:
1. buffer_move_data() is an explicit request to trigger move-on-write.
users which do not declare move_data (like quota_write) will not
trigger move-on-write. previous hooks would do move-on-write on
all regular files data without an explicit request.
new design suggests that we rather corrupt snapshot data
(missed move-on-write) then corrupt the file system live data
(false positive move-on-write).
2. buffer_partial_write() signals that in case of move-on-write, the
old block data
needs to be read, before mapping the buffer to a new block.
3. buffer_direct_io() signals that in case of move-on-write or hole filling,
the buffer should not be mapped on return.
There are 4 places I found that map data blocks and should trigger
move-on-write:
1. write_begin() sets move_data and optionally partial_write flags and
unmaps buffers
2. ordered_writepage() sets move_data flag and unmaps buffers
(snapshots only work with data=ordered)
3. truncate_page() sets move_data flag (and calls next3_get_block() itself)
4. next3_get_block() sets direct_io and move_data flags when (create && !handle)
Know issue:
snapshot copy of quota files is not consistent with snapshot'ed
file system (can be fixed, but is it relevant for read-only mount?)
you should know that the core move-on-write code in
get_blocks_handle() has not changed much
(only the move_data and direct_io flag checks were added) and it has
been used for quite some time now,
so I do not expect to find major bugs in the block move mechanism itself.
I revised my 'next3 test' scripts to rewrite random data to files via direct I/O
and mmap to test the new move-on-write hooks in next3_get_block() and in
ordered_writepage() and it all seems to work fine.
quotas also seems to work fine now.
I understand if this review is not on the top of your priorities,
but if you can find the time for it, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Amir.
===next3_snapshot_hooks_data.patch===
next3: snapshot hooks - move data blocks
Before every regular file data buffer write,
the function next3_get_block() is called to map the buffer to disk.
We use this hook to call the snapshot API snapshot_get_move_access(),
to optionally move the block to the snapshot file.
