GFS2: Don't add all glocks to the lru

2015-06-18T17:17:59+00:00

The glocks used for resource groups often come and go hundreds of thousands of times per second. Adding them to the lru list just adds unnecessary contention for the lru_lock spin_lock, especially considering we're almost certainly going to re-use the glock and take it back off the lru microseconds later. We never want the glock shrinker to cull them anyway. This patch adds a new bit in the glops that determines which glock types get put onto the lru list and which ones don't.

gfs2: incorrect check for debugfs returns

2015-03-30T14:13:29+00:00

debugfs_create_dir and debugfs_create_file may return -ENODEV when debugfs is not configured, so the return value should be checked against ERROR_VALUE as well, otherwise the later dereference of the dentry pointer would crash the kernel.

Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T21:50:21+00:00

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe: "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits. Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the lustre backing_dev_info from staging. Last patch was from Al, unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside" * 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: Make super_blocks and sb_lock static mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info fs: remove default_backing_dev_info fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info nfs: don't call bdi_unregister ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping->backing_dev_info nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device block_dev: only write bdev inode on close fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info

fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info

2015-01-20T21:03:05+00:00

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Ryusuke Konishi Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

GFS2: Eliminate __gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru

2015-01-09T11:33:13+00:00

Since the only caller of function __gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru locks the same spin_lock as gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru, the functions can be combined. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls

2014-11-18T10:57:58+00:00

The functions iput() and put_pid() test whether their argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Allow flocks to use normal glock dq rather than dq_wait

2014-07-18T10:13:56+00:00

This patch allows flock glocks to use a non-blocking dequeue rather than dq_wait. It also reverts the previous patch I had posted regarding dq_wait. The reverted patch isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I decided this might avoid unforeseen side effects, and was therefore safer. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Use GFP_NOFS when allocating glocks

2014-07-18T10:13:12+00:00

Normally GFP_KERNEL is ok here, but there is now a rarely used code path relating to deallocation of unlinked inodes (in certain corner cases) which if hit at times of memory shortage can cause recursion while trying to free memory. One solution would be to try and move the gfs2_glock_get() call so that it is no longer called while another glock is held, but that doesn't look at all easy, so GFP_NOFS is the best solution for the time being.
