      mm: add context argument to shrinker callback · 7f8275d0
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
      to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
      caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
      structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
      in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
      callback via container_of().

      dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystem · 907f4554
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly.  This means
      we tie the quota code into the VFS.  Get rid of that and make the
      filesystem responsible for the initialization.   For most metadata operations
      this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
      open it's a bit more complicated.
      
      For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
      because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
      new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.
      
      For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
      which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
      The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
      on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
      for directories.
      
      Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
      can use to fill in ->open.

      Now I think the main problem is having the filesystem block (and do IO) in
      inode reclaim.  The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and
      penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work
      generated from elsewhere.
      
      I think the best idea would be to avoid this.  By design if possible, or
      by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context.  If the latter,
      then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with
      queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details.
      
      Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is
      causing the cascading blocking.  We could turn this into an rwsem to
      improve concurrency.  It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially
      slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap
      way to get a small improvement.
      
      This doesn't solve the whole problem of course.  The process doing inode
      reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end
      up contending on filesystem locks.  So fs developers should keep these
      problems in mind.

      vfs: add __destroy_inode · 2e00c97e
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
      in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
      the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.
      
      This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
      the actual fix will be in th next patch.  As XFS was the only reason
      destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.

      vfs: fix inode_init_always calling convention · 54e34621
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
      initialization fails.  That's not only counter-intuitive because
      inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
      XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
      a radix-tree that has never been added.  This in turn might end up
      deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
      another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.
      
      Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
      free an inode we still want to keep alive.

      vfs: Set special lockdep map for dirs only if not set by fs · 9a7aa12f
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Some filesystems need to set lockdep map for i_mutex differently for
      different directories. For example OCFS2 has system directories (for
      orphan inode tracking and for gathering all system files like journal
      or quota files into a single place) which have different locking
      locking rules than standard directories. For a filesystem setting
      lockdep map is naturaly done when the inode is read but we have to
      modify unlock_new_inode() not to overwrite the lockdep map the filesystem
      has set.

      fs: introduce mnt_clone_write · 96029c4e
      npiggin@suse.de 提交于
      This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the
      first patch.
      
      Before:
       avg = 462.286
       std = 5.46106
      
      After:
       avg = 453.12
       std = 9.58257
      
      (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence)
      
      It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight
      operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already
      has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write
      if the file is open for write.
      
      After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on
      the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write).
      
      [AV: mnt_want_write_file() should take file alone and derive mnt from it;
      not only all callers have that form, but that's the only mnt about which
      we know that it's already held for write if file is opened for write]

      fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes · 3be25f49
      Eric Paris 提交于
      This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
      These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
      and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
      them to the inode's list.
      
      dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
      inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
      has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
      use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
      it had NO interest in.

      fs: new inode i_state corruption fix · 7ef0d737
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      There was a report of a data corruption
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121.  There is a script included to
      reproduce the problem.
      
      During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
      tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem.  I found that
      fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
      cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
      already been called for that inode.  This points to memory scribble, or
      synchronisation problme.
      
      i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
      processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
      cleared.  Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
      i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
      the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
      waiting for I_NEW.  Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption.  In
      my case it would look like this:
      
      CPU0                            CPU1
      unlock_new_inode()              __sync_single_inode()
       reg <- inode->i_state
       reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW)   reg <- inode->i_state
       reg -> inode->i_state          reg -> reg | I_SYNC
                                      reg -> inode->i_state
      
      Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
      
      Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
      inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
      operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
      either.
      
      After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
      hangs after ~1hour of running.  Previously, the new warnings would start
      immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
      
      I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either.  I
      don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
      real problem for me.
