dax: move DAX-related functions to a new header

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is defined in linux/mm.h. Given that we don't want to include in , the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related functions to a new header, . We could also have moved VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't quite such a boil-the-ocean header as , but this felt like the best option.

mm: move ->mremap() from file_operations to vm_operations_struct

2015-09-04T23:54:41+00:00

vma->vm_ops->mremap() looks more natural and clean in move_vma(), and this way ->mremap() can have more users. Say, vdso. While at it, s/aio_ring_remap/aio_ring_mremap/. Note: this is the minimal change before ->mremap() finds another user in file_operations; this method should have more arguments, and it can be used to kill arch_remap().

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This finishes up the changes to ensure proc and sysfs do not start implementing executable files, as the there are application today that are only secure because such files do not exist. It akso fixes a long standing misfeature of /proc//mountinfo that did not show the proper source for files bind mounted from /proc//ns/*. It also straightens out the handling of clone flags related to user namespaces, fixing an unnecessary failure of unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) when files such as /proc//environ are read while is calling unshare. This winds up fixing a minor bug in unshare flag handling that dates back to the first version of unshare in the kernel. Finally, this fixes a minor regression caused by the introduction of sysfs_create_mount_point, which broke someone's in house application, by restoring the size of /sys/fs/cgroup to 0 bytes. Apparently that application uses the directory size to determine if a tmpfs is mounted on /sys/fs/cgroup. The bind mount escape fixes are present in Al Viros for-next branch. and I expect them to come from there.

inode: rename i_wb_list to i_io_list

2015-08-18T03:38:10+00:00

There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this! So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

sync: serialise per-superblock sync operations

2015-08-17T22:39:47+00:00

When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and burn more CPU than if they were serialised. Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

inode: convert inode_sb_list_lock to per-sb

2015-08-17T22:39:46+00:00

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

inode: add hlist_fake to avoid the inode hash lock in evict

2015-08-17T22:39:45+00:00

Some filesystems don't use the VFS inode hash and fake the fact they are hashed so that all the writeback code works correctly. However, this means the evict() path still tries to remove the inode from the hash, meaning that the inode_hash_lock() needs to be taken unnecessarily. Hence under certain workloads the inode_hash_lock can be contended even if the inode is never actually hashed. To avoid this add hlist_fake to test if the inode isn't actually hashed to avoid taking the hash lock on inodes that have never been hashed. Based on Dave Chinner's inode: add IOP_NOTHASHED to avoid inode hash lock in evict basd on Al's suggestions.
