      vfs: add generic_file_llseek_size · 5760495a
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Add a generic_file_llseek variant to the VFS that allows passing in
      the maximum file size of the file system, instead of always
      using maxbytes from the superblock.
      
      This can be used to eliminate some cut'n'paste seek code in ext4.

      vfs: do (nearly) lockless generic_file_llseek · ef3d0fd2
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts.  Independent processes
      accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
      they have no need for synchronization at all.
      
      Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
      systems.
      
      This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
      
      First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
      on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
      This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
      The patch does not change that.
      
      Let's look at the different seek variants:
      
      SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
      If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
      
      For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
      stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
      against write() now.  The read() race was deemed
      acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
      ok for read it's ok for write too.
      
      => Don't need a lock.
      
      SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
      the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
      32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
      the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
      can just use that instead.
      
      Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
      however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
      like another racy SEEK_SET.  On non atomic 32bit it's the same
      as SEEK_SET.
      
      => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
      
      SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
      on the same file. One could argue that any application
      doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
      But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
      using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
      lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
      synchronize between processes.
      
      => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
      
      This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
      I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

      PM / Sleep: Mark devices involved in wakeup signaling during suspend · 4ca46ff3
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      The generic PM domains code in drivers/base/power/domain.c has
      to avoid powering off domains that provide power to wakeup devices
      during system suspend.  Currently, however, this only works for
      wakeup devices directly belonging to the given domain and not for
      their children (or the children of their children and so on).
      Thus, if there's a wakeup device whose parent belongs to a power
      domain handled by the generic PM domains code, the domain will be
      powered off during system suspend preventing the device from
      signaling wakeup.
      
      To address this problem introduce a device flag, power.wakeup_path,
      that will be set during system suspend for all wakeup devices,
      their parents, the parents of their parents and so on.  This way,
      all wakeup paths in the device hierarchy will be marked and the
      generic PM domains code will only need to avoid powering off
      domains containing devices whose power.wakeup_path is set.
