WB_SYNC_NONE writeback is done in rounds of 1024 pages so that we don't write out some huge inode for too long while starving writeout of other inodes. To avoid livelocks, we record time we started writeback in wbc->wb_start and do not write out inodes which were dirtied after this time. But currently, writeback_inodes_wb() resets wb_start each time it is called thus effectively invalidating this logic and making any WB_SYNC_NONE writeback prone to livelocks. This patch makes sure wb_start is set only once when we start writeback.

add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either; it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING. I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot. Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Whe the first inode for a bdi is marked dirty, we wake up the bdi thread which should take care of the periodic background write-out. However, the write-out will actually start only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs later, so we can delay the wake-up. This change was requested by Nick Piggin who pointed out that if we delay the wake-up, we weed out 2 unnecessary contex switches, which matters because '__mark_inode_dirty()' is a hot-path function. This patch introduces a new function - 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()', which sets up a timer to wake-up the bdi thread and returns. So the wake-up is delayed. We also delete the timer in bdi threads just before writing-back. And synchronously delete it when unregistering bdi. At the unregister point the bdi does not have any users, so no one can arm it again. Since now we take 'bdi->wb_lock' in the timer, which can execute in softirq context, we have to use 'spin_lock_bh()' for 'bdi->wb_lock'. This patch makes this change as well. This patch also moves the 'bdi_wb_init()' function down in the file to avoid forward-declaration of 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()'.

Finally, we can get rid of unnecessary wake-ups in bdi threads, which are very bad for battery-driven devices. There are two types of activities bdi threads do: 1. process bdi works from the 'bdi->work_list' 2. periodic write-back So there are 2 sources of wake-up events for bdi threads: 1. 'bdi_queue_work()' - submits bdi works 2. '__mark_inode_dirty()' - adds dirty I/O to bdi's The former already has bdi wake-up code. The latter does not, and this patch adds it. '__mark_inode_dirty()' is hot-path function, but this patch adds another 'spin_lock(&bdi->wb_lock)' there. However, it is taken only in rare cases when the bdi has no dirty inodes. So adding this spinlock should be fine and should not affect performance. This patch makes sure bdi threads and the forker thread do not wake-up if there is nothing to do. The forker thread will nevertheless wake up at least every 5 min. to check whether it has to kill a bdi thread. This can also be optimized, but is not worth it. This patch also tidies up the warning about unregistered bid, and turns it from an ugly crocodile to a simple 'WARN()' statement.

Currently, bdi threads can decide to exit if there were no useful activities for 5 minutes. However, this causes nasty races: we can easily oops in the 'bdi_queue_work()' if the bdi thread decides to exit while we are waking it up. And even if we do not oops, but the bdi tread exits immediately after we wake it up, we'd lose the wake-up event and have an unnecessary delay (up to 5 secs) in the bdi work processing. This patch makes the forker thread to be the central place which not only creates bdi threads, but also kills them if they were inactive long enough. This better design-wise. Another reason why this change was done is to prepare for the further changes which will prevent the bdi threads from waking up every 5 sec and wasting power. Indeed, when the task does not wake up periodically anymore, it won't be able to exit either. This patch also moves the the 'wake_up_bit()' call from the bdi thread to the forker thread as well. So now the forker thread sets the BDI_pending bit, then forks the task or kills it, then clears the bit and wakes up the waiting process. The only process which may wain on the bit is 'bdi_wb_shutdown()'. This function was changed as well - now it first removes the bdi from the 'bdi_list', then waits on the 'BDI_pending' bit. Once it wakes up, it is guaranteed that the forker thread won't race with it, because the bdi is not visible. Note, the forker thread sets the 'BDI_pending' bit under the 'bdi->wb_lock' which is essential for proper serialization. And additionally, when we change 'bdi->wb.task', we now take the 'bdi->work_lock', to make sure that we do not lose wake-ups which we otherwise would when raced with, say, 'bdi_queue_work()'.

The forker thread removes bdis from 'bdi_list' before forking the bdi thread. But this is wrong for at least 2 reasons. Reason #1: if we temporary remove a bdi from the list, we may miss works which would otherwise be given to us. Reason #2: this is racy; indeed, 'bdi_wb_shutdown()' expects that bdis are always in the 'bdi_list' (see 'bdi_remove_from_list()'), and when it races with the forker thread, it can shut down the bdi thread at the same time as the forker creates it. This patch makes sure the forker thread never removes bdis from 'bdi_list' (which was suggested by Christoph Hellwig). In order to make sure that we do not race with 'bdi_wb_shutdown()', we have to hold the 'bdi_lock' while walking the 'bdi_list' and setting the 'BDI_pending' flag. NOTE! The error path is interesting. Currently, when we fail to create a bdi thread, we move the bdi to the tail of 'bdi_list'. But if we never remove the bdi from the list, we cannot move it to the tail either, because then we can mess up the RCU readers which walk the list. And also, we'll have the race described above in "Reason #2". But I not think that adding to the tail is any important so I just do not do that.

To fix this issue, we have to check whether we have works to process after we have changed the task state to 'TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE'.

The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency. hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer, and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global variable keeping the task_struct pointer This patch renames: * 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' * 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()' because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more consistent. This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi threads as "thread", not "task". Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use 'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.

First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them. This means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there.

The code dealing with bdi_work->state and completion of a bdi_work is a major mess currently. This patch makes sure we directly use one set of flags to deal with it, and use it consistently, which means: - always notify about completion from the rcu callback. We only ever wait for it from on-stack callers, so this simplification does not even cause a theoretical slowdown currently. It also makes sure we don't miss out on the notification if we ever add other callers to wait for it. - make earlier completion notification depending on the on-stack allocation, not the sync mode. If we introduce new callers that want to do WB_SYNC_NONE writeback from on-stack callers this will be nessecary. Also rename bdi_wait_on_work_clear to bdi_wait_on_work_done and inline a few small functions into their only caller to make the code understandable.

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.
