      vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry · 26fe5750
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
      architectures.  Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
      since that is the case we care most about.
      
      The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
      from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
      'struct qstr' with a static initializer.  This makes the problematic
      cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
      just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
      valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

      vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors · 6b520e05
      Al Viro 提交于
      Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
      it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
      the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
      and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
      boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

      ufs: remove the BKL · 788257d6
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This introduces a new per-superblock mutex in UFS to replace
      the big kernel lock. I have been careful to avoid nested
      calls to lock_ufs and to get the lock order right with
      respect to other mutexes, in particular lock_super.
      
      I did not make any attempt to prove that the big kernel
      lock is not needed in a particular place in the code,
      which is very possible.
      
      The mutex has a significant performance impact, so it is only
      used on SMP or PREEMPT configurations.
      
      As Nick Piggin noticed, any allocation inside of the lock
      may end up deadlocking when we get to ufs_getfrag_block
      in the reclaim task, so we now use GFP_NOFS.

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super · db719222
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
      It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
      get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
      
      I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
      do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
      any more.
      
      do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
      and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
      from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
      through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
      afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
      follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
      get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
      fill_super function.
      
      Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
      low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
      
      [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
             don't use it elsewhere]

      ufs: permit mounting of BorderWare filesystems · d27d7a9a
      Thomas Stewart 提交于
      I recently had to recover some files from an old broken machine that was
      running BorderWare Document Gateway.  It's basically a drop in web server
      for sharing files.  From the look of the init process and using strings on
      of a few files it seems to be based on FreeBSD 3.3.
      
      The process turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, but to cut a
      long story short BorderWare in their wisdom use a nonstandard magic number
      in their UFS (ufstype=44bsd) file systems.  Thus Linux refuses to mount
      the file systems in order to recover the data.  After a bit of hunting I
      was able to make a quick fix to fs/ufs/super.c in order to detect the new
      magic number.
      
      I assume that this number is the same for all installations.  It's quite
      easy to find out from ufs_fs.h.  The superblock sits 8k into the block
      device and the magic number its 1372 bytes into the superblock struct.

      Push lock_super() into the ->remount_fs() of filesystems that care about it · bbd6851a

      Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
      (due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
      touch lock_super() on their own.  Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
      do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
      data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
      files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

      remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_super · 8c85e125
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
      that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
      in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.
      
      Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
      guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
      filesystem maintainers.
      
      Exceptions:
      
       - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
         affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
       - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
         the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
         here..
