Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback, however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses. If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode. For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache. This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed from the page cache.

由 Lukas Czerner 提交于
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors, which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to report false problems. Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting file systems. This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the request list. This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate structures and exits (and can be created later later by another filesystem). We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait. This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable. Signed-off-by: NLukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This reverts commit f4a3e0bc. Jiri Sladby points out that the tty structure we're using may already be gone, and Al Viro doesn't hold back in complaining about the random loading of 'filp->private_data' which doesn't have to be a pointer at all, nor does checking the magic field for TTY_MAGIC prove anything. Belated review by Al: "a) global variable depending on stdin of the last opener? Affecting output of read(2)? Really? b) iterator is broken; list should be locked in ->start(), unlocked in ->stop() and *NOT* unlocked/relocked in ->next() c) ->show() ought to do nothing in case of ->device == NULL, instead of skipping those in ->next()/->start() d) regardless of the merits of the bright idea about asterisk at that line in output *and* regardless of (a), the implementation is not only atrociously ugly, it's actually very likely to be a roothole. Verifying that Cthulhu knows what number happens to be address of a tty_struct by blindly dereferencing memory at that address... Ouch. Please revert that crap." And Christoph pipes in and NAK's the approach of walking fd tables etc too. So it's pretty unanimous.

Currently, the default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing concurrent writing among nodes to the same file, with no cluster coherency guaranteed (no EX lock held). This can leave stale data in the cache for buffered reads on other nodes. The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different behaviors for O_DIRECT writes: * coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow concurrent O_DIRECT writes by taking EX locks. * coherency=buffered, allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes without EX lock among nodes, which gains high performance at risk of getting stale data on other nodes.

This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names. The old idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running at a single time. This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to finish before accessing a cached result. The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.

This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace. Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory hogging task. The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable" memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill), roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap space. The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of nodes or mems, respectively. Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory() provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of memory, it is generally better to save root's task. Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset, or sharing the same memory controller. /proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to be deprecated for future removal.
