      [PATCH] Fix XFS after clear_page_dirty() removal · 92132021
      David Chinner 提交于
      XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
      set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared.  I note
      that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
      on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
      
      Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
      easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
      set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
      the page has been marked clean.

      [PATCH] dio: only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED · 8459d86a
      Zach Brown 提交于
      The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
      function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core.  direct_io_worker() has
      historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
      codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case.  It did this by trying to keep
      conditionals in sync.  direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
      going to call aio_complete().  It would reverse the test and wait and free the
      dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
      
      Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong.  'ret' could be a negative
      errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
      finished_one_bio().  direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
      wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called.  In the
      future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
      would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
      
      The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
      to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
      that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
      direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
      drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
      aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
      direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
      by waiting for bios to drain.  It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
      partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
      errors during submission.
      
      This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
      aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio.  Instead we return the return
      code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete().  This is
      purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
      aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
      
      Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
      no longer have to translate for it.  XFS needs to be careful not to free
      resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
       We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
      aio+dio writes.

      [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions · 3fcfab16
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
      Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
      
      The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
      backing-dev congestion functions.
      
      This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
      functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

      [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups · 543ade1f
      Badari Pulavarty 提交于
      This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
      Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.
      
      In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
      do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
      to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
      
      Final available interfaces:
      
      generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
      generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
      generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler
      
      __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
