jfs: Switch to generic xattr handlers

2016-05-13T02:29:18+00:00

This is mostly the same as on other filesystems except for attribute names with an "os2." prefix: for those, the prefix is not stored on disk, and on-attribute names without a prefix have "os2." added. As on several other filesystems, the underlying function for setting/removing xattrs (__jfs_setxattr) removes attributes when the value is NULL, so the set xattr handlers will work as expected.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested}, inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex). Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle ->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held only shared. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

jfs: Handle error from dquot_initialize()

VFS: normal filesystems (and lustre): d_inode() annotations

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40+00:00

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL {read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: add support for a lazytime mount option

2015-02-05T07:45:00+00:00

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or (c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory. This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call. For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51+00:00

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds it to ->write_iter(). A bunch of simple cases coverted to that... [AV: fixed the braino spotted by Cyrill] Signed-off-by: Al Viro
