      [PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction · 3a326a2c
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:

 - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
   and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.

 - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
   methods

      Fix comments: s/granuality/granularity/ · 8ba8e95e
      由 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 提交于 
      I was grepping through the code and some `grep ganularity -R .` didn't
catch what I thought. Then looking closer I saw the term "granuality"
used in only four places (in comments) and granularity in many more
places describing the same idea. Some other facts:

dictionary.com does not know such a word
define:granuality on google is not found (and pages for granuality are
mostly related to patches to the kernel)
it has not been discussed as a term on LKML, AFAICS (=Can Search)

To be consistent, I think granularity should be used everywhere.

      [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range() · f79e2abb
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:

- It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
  fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.

- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86.

The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.

Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.

A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."

Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.

Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).

Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

      [PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regression · 68eef3b4
      由 Joe Korty 提交于 
      Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices.  Based on the proven design
for /proc/interrupts.

This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as
demonstrated by:

    # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
    Character devices:
      1 mem
    27+0 records in
    27+0 records out

This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.

      [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call · 5274f052
      由 Jens Axboe 提交于 
      This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

      [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes · 4741c9fd
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state.  This wasn't right in a couple of places.  Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.

This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future.  But we don't do that at present.

      [PATCH] fadvise(): write commands · ebcf28e1
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions():

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.  Any pages which are currently under
writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.

By combining these two operations the application may do several things:

LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty
pages at the disk.

LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all
of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written.

It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
metadata.  So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
will be available after a crash.

To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file
metadata only" operation.  This gives applications access to all the building
blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations.  But sync-metadata doesn't fit
well with the fadvise() interface.  Probably it should be a new syscall:
sys_fmetadatasync().

The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64().
It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is
inclusive).  Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are
inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1.

As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise()
concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd".

But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and
several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect
future policy either.   I think we can live with the slight incongruity.

      [PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT · 9b04c997
      由 Theodore Ts'o 提交于 
      The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
"don't be verbose".  This is confusing and counter-intuitive.

In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
unfortunately we do not:

#ifdef MS_SILENT
  { "quiet",    0, 0, MS_SILENT    },   /* be quiet  */
  { "loud",     0, 1, MS_SILENT    },   /* print out messages. */
#endif

So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
with MS_SILENT.

      [PATCH] fix file counting · 529bf6be
      由 Dipankar Sarma 提交于 
      I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
performance difference on kernbench.  Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.

The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing.  For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based.  This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache.  This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation.  With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -

llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730  0       758844

At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache.  The following
patch I fixes this problem.

This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api.  In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.

Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.
