      [PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint lists · 78ce89c9
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists.  In the first
      list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO.  In the second
      list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
      for the IO to complete.  This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
      lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

      [PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching · fe1dcbc4
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Ben points out that:
      
        When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
        significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle.  The patch below
        results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
        IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
      
      So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
      doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
      write.  If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
      transaction.
      
      (Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
      testing it)
      
      Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
      
      /usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
      
      Unpatched:
      	40 seconds
      Patched:
      	35 seconds
      Batching disabled:
      	35 seconds
      
      This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case.  With multiple
      fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
      
      Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
      batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
      dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE).  This is because by the time one
      process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
      have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
      transaction anyway.
      
      The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
      pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
      years ago...

      [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/* · 27496a8c
      Al Viro 提交于
       - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
       - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
       - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
         XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
         The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
         different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
         BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
         been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
         no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
         immediately...
      
      One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
      a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
         linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h
      
      /*
       * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
       *
       * on SMP builds:
       *

       *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
       *
       *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:

       *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
       *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
       *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
       *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
       *                        builds)
       *
       *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)

        Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
