2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle6-15/+14
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2011-07-21fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik3-5/+10
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-21fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik1-0/+10
This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner1-0/+6
Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

2011-07-21superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner1-0/+16
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-08FS-Cache: Add a helper to bulk uncache pages on an inodeDavid Howells1-0/+16
Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond 1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache. This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode cookie. This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors seen during fsstress testing. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:201! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 5, comm: kworker/u:0 Not tainted 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.x86_64 #1 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010: cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] RSP: 0018:ffff88002ce6dd00 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: ffff88002ef165f0 RBX: ffff88001811f500 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000100 RDI: 0000000000000282 RBP: ffff88002ce6dda0 R08: 0000000000000100 R09: ffffffff81b3a300 R10: 0000ffff00066c0a R11: 0000000000000003 R12: ffff88002ae54840 R13: ffff88002ae54840 R14: ffff880029c29c00 R15: ffff88001811f4b0 FS: 00007f394dd32720(0000) GS:ffff88002ef00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007fffcb62ddf8 CR3: 000000001825f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process kworker/u:0 (pid: 5, threadinfo ffff88002ce6c000, task ffff88002ce55cc0) Stack: 0000000000000246 ffff88002ce55cc0 ffff88002ce6dd58 ffff88001815dc00 ffff8800185246c0 ffff88001811f618 ffff880029c29d18 ffff88001811f380 ffff88002ce6dd50 ffffffff814757e4 ffff88002ce6dda0 ffffffff8106ac56 Call Trace: cachefiles_lookup_object+0x78/0xd4 [cachefiles] fscache_lookup_object+0x131/0x16d [fscache] fscache_object_work_func+0x1bc/0x669 [fscache] process_one_work+0x186/0x298 worker_thread+0xda/0x15d kthread+0x84/0x8c kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 RIP cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x436/0x745 [cachefiles] ---[ end trace 1d481c9af1804caa ]--- I tested the uncaching by the following means: (1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).

2011-07-04UBIFS: switch self-check knobs to debugfsArtem Bityutskiy1-26/+0
UBIFS has many built-in self-check functions which can be enabled using the debug_chks module parameter or the corresponding sysfs file (/sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_chks). However, this is not flexible enough because it is not per-filesystem. This patch moves this to debugfs interfaces. We already have debugfs support, so this patch just adds more debugfs files. While looking at debugfs support I've noticed that it is racy WRT file-system unmount, and added a TODO entry for that. This problem has been there for long time and it is quite standard debugfs PITA. The plan is to fix this later. This patch is simple, but it is large because it changes many places where we check if a particular type of checks is enabled or disabled. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2011-06-15rcu: Use softirq to address performance regressionShaohua Li1-0/+1
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

2011-05-27fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inodeChristoph Hellwig2-3/+3
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

2011-05-25bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irqMike Travis1-2/+9
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large. Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be: echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity instead of: echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095. We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists. This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

2011-05-24xfs: add online discard supportChristoph Hellwig1-0/+6
Now that we have reliably tracking of deleted extents in a transaction we can easily implement "online" discard support which calls blkdev_issue_discard once a transaction commits. The actual discard is a two stage operation as we first have to mark the busy extent as not available for reuse before we can start the actual discard. Note that we don't bother supporting discard for the non-delaylog mode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2011-05-23UBIFS: switch to dynamic printksArtem Bityutskiy1-23/+2
Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned echo 1 > /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs to enable general messages, we can do: echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' > control to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
