      fscache: convert operation to use workqueue instead of slow-work · 8af7c124
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of
      workqueue and slow-work.  FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and
      FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added
      fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor().
      fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init()
      now takes @processor argument directly.
      
      * Unbound workqueue is used.
      
      * fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does
        the equivalent thing.
      
      * sysctl fscache.operation_max_active added to control concurrency.
        The default value is nr_cpus clamped between 2 and
        WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.
      
      * debugfs support is dropped for now.  Tracing API based debug
        facility is planned to be added.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase · 5753c441
      David Howells 提交于
      Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in
      the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for
      permission for the operation to proceed.  Typically this wait occurs whilst the
      cache object is being looked up on disk in the background.
      
      If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the
      go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns
      to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages
      having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache.
      
      This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than
      uninterruptibly.
      
      In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops
      cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted.

      FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling · 952efe7b
      David Howells 提交于
      Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data
      storage and retrieval routines.
      
      The following documentation is added to:
      
      	Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt
      
      		       ================================
      		       ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING
      		       ================================
      
      ========
      OVERVIEW
      ========
      
      FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its
      data storage and retrieval routines.  Its operations are represented by
      fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other
      structure.
      
      This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends,
      and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache
      backend for completion.
      
      To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included.
      
      ===============================
      OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION
      ===============================
      
      An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct:
      
      	struct fscache_operation {
      		union {
      			struct work_struct fast_work;
      			struct slow_work slow_work;
      		};
      		unsigned long		flags;
      		fscache_operation_processor_t processor;
      		...
      	};
      
      Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this
      struct embedded in it.  They should initialise it by calling:
      
      	void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op,
      				    fscache_operation_release_t release);
      
      with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use.
      
      The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and
      the exclusivity (see the Parameters section).
      
      The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as
      appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section).
      
      FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the
      operation and waited for afterwards.
      
      ==========
      PARAMETERS
      ==========
      
      There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag
      parameter.  There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these
      operations:
      
       (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD).  A thread
           may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to
           another thread.
      
           This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on
           the backing filesystem in CacheFiles.  Although readpages() does an
           asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done
           synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been
           determined.
      
           If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags
           before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it
           to be cleared before proceeding:
      
      		wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING,
      			    fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
      
       (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it
           will be given to keventd to process.  Such an operation is not permitted
           to sleep on I/O.
      
           This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs
           page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in.
      
           If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be
           initialised before submitting the operation:
      
      		INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work);
      
       (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it
           will be given to the slow work facility to process.  Such an operation is
           permitted to sleep on I/O.
      
           This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of
           pages that have just been fetched from a remote server.
      
           If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be
           initialised before submitting the operation:
      
      		fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor)
      
      Furthermore, operations may be one of two types:
      
       (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE).  Operations of this type may not run in
           conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon.
      
           An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file
           being written to may need truncation.
      
       (2) Shareable.  Operations of this type may be running simultaneously.  It's
           up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other
           operations running at the same time.
      
      =========
      PROCEDURE
      =========
      
      Operations are used through the following procedure:
      
       (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it
           itself.  Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the
           generic op embedded within.
      
       (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using
           one of the following two functions:
      
      	int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object,
      			      struct fscache_operation *op);
      
      	int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object,
      					struct fscache_operation *op);
      
           The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the
           second to submit exclusive ones.  The caller must still set the
           FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag.
      
           If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified
           object and return 0.  -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is
           permanently unavailable.
      
           The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still
           undergoing lookup or creation.  The operation will also be deferred if an
           operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object.
      
           If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to
           it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to:
      
      	void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op);
      
       (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the
           operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor
           FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if
           necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting).
      
           When it has finished doing its processing, it should call
           fscache_put_operation() on it.
      
       (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other
           exclusive ops conflicting until it is released.  The operation can be
           enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the
           CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg:
      
      	op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE;
      	op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST;
      
           and calling:
      
      	void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op)
      
           This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread
           pools.
      
      =====================
      ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK
      =====================
      
      When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the
      processor method with a pointer to the operation.  This should then get at the
      container struct by using container_of():
      
      	static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op)
      	{
      		struct fscache_storage *op =
      			container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op);
      	...
      	}
      
      The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke
      fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns.  The processor
      function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra
      references.
