      sched: Consolidate the name of root_task_group and init_task_group · 07e06b01
      由 Yong Zhang 提交于 
      root_task_group is the leftover of USER_SCHED, now it's always
same to init_task_group.
But as Mike suggested, root_task_group is maybe the suitable name
to keep for a tree.
So in this patch:
  init_task_group      --> root_task_group
  init_task_group_load --> root_task_group_load
  INIT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD --> ROOT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD

      fs: scale mntget/mntput · b3e19d92
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.

The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.

We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.

- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
  for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).

- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
  is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
  a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
  particular CPU which requires more locking).

- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
  the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
  keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
  and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.

This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.

This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.

This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

      fs: implement faster dentry memcmp · 9d55c369
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      The standard memcmp function on a Westmere system shows up hot in
profiles in the `git diff` workload (both parallel and single threaded),
and it is likely due to the costs associated with trapping into
microcode, and little opportunity to improve memory access (dentry
name is not likely to take up more than a cacheline).

So replace it with an open-coded byte comparison. This increases code
size by 8 bytes in the critical __d_lookup_rcu function, but the
speedup is huge, averaging 10 runs of each:

git diff st   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.15   2.57  3.82      97.1
after         1.14   2.35  3.61      96.8

git diff mt   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.27   3.85  1.46     349
after         1.26   3.54  1.43     333

Elapsed time for single threaded git diff at 95.0% confidence:
        -0.21  +/- 0.01
        -5.45% +/- 0.24%

It's -0.66% +/- 0.06% elapsed time on my Opteron, so rep cmp costs on the
fam10h seem to be relatively smaller, but there is still a win.

      fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystems · 4b936885
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely
always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children
under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected
dentries because by definition they are disconnected.

      fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking · 873feea0
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).

      fs: provide simple rcu-walk generic_check_acl implementation · 1e1743eb
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      This simple implementation just checks for no ACLs on the inode, and
if so, then the rcu-walk may proceed, otherwise fail it.

This could easily be extended to put acls under RCU and check them
under seqlock, if need be. But this implementation is enough to show
the rcu-walk aware permissions code for path lookups is working, and
will handle cases where there are no ACLs or ACLs in just the final
element.

This patch implicity converts tmpfs to rcu-aware permission check.
Subsequent patches onvert ext*, xfs, and, btrfs. Each of these uses
acl/permission code in a different way, so convert them all to provide
templates and proof of concept.

      fs: cache optimise dentry and inode for rcu-walk · 44a7d7a8
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Put dentry and inode fields into top of data structure.  This allows RCU path
traversal to perform an RCU dentry lookup in a path walk by touching only the
first 56 bytes of the dentry.

We also fit in 8 bytes of inline name in the first 64 bytes, so for short
names, only 64 bytes needs to be touched to perform the lookup. We should
get rid of the hash->prev pointer from the first 64 bytes, and fit 16 bytes
of name in there, which will take care of 81% rather than 32% of the kernel
tree.

inode is also rearranged so that RCU lookup will only touch a single cacheline
in the inode, plus one in the i_ops structure.

This is important for directory component lookups in RCU path walking. In the
kernel source, directory names average is around 6 chars, so this works.

When we reach the last element of the lookup, we need to lock it and take its
refcount which requires another cacheline access.

Align dentry and inode operations structs, so members will be at predictable
offsets and we can group common operations into head of structure.

      fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path · fb045adb
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

      fs: dcache remove d_mounted · 5f57cbcc
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Rather than keep a d_mounted count in the dentry, set a dentry flag instead.
The flag can be cleared by checking the hash table to see if there are any
mounts left, which is not time critical because it is performed at detach time.

The mounted state of a dentry is only used to speculatively take a look in the
mount hash table if it is set -- before following the mount, vfsmount lock is
taken and mount re-checked without races.

This saves 4 bytes on 32-bit, nothing on 64-bit but it does provide a hole I
might use later (and some configs have larger than 32-bit spinlocks which might
make use of the hole).

Autofs4 conversion and changelog by Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>:
In autofs4, when expring direct (or offset) mounts we need to ensure that we
block user path walks into the autofs mount, which is covered by another mount.
To do this we clear the mounted status so that follows stop before walking into
the mount and are essentially blocked until the expire is completed. The
automount daemon still finds the correct dentry for the umount due to the
follow mount logic in fs/autofs4/root.c:autofs4_follow_link(), which is set as
an inode operation for direct and offset mounts only and is called following
the lookup that stopped at the covered mount.

At the end of the expire the covering mount probably has gone away so the
mounted status need not be restored. But we need to check this and only restore
the mounted status if the expire failed.

XXX: autofs may not work right if we have other mounts go over the top of it?

      fs: fs_struct use seqlock · c28cc364
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Use a seqlock in the fs_struct to enable us to take an atomic copy of the
complete cwd and root paths. Use this in the RCU lookup path to avoid a
thread-shared spinlock in RCU lookup operations.

Multi-threaded apps may now perform path lookups with scalability matching
multi-process apps. Operations such as stat(2) become very scalable for
multi-threaded workload.
