      9p: implement optional loose read cache · e03abc0c
      Eric Van Hensbergen 提交于
      While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
      place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
      exclusive and/or read-only.  The vacfs views of venti content addressable
      store are a real-world instance of such a situation.  To facilitate higher
      performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
      we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
      any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache.  This results in over
      two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
      in the Bonnie benchmark.  The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
      to improve metadata operational performance.

      9p: Use kthread_stop instead of sending a SIGKILL. · 2c0463a9
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Since the kthread api does not bump the reference count on
      processes that tracked it is not safe allow user space to
      kill the threads, as I still retain a pointer to the task_struct.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
