      perf stat: handle Ctrl-C · 58d7e993
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed,
      the utility exited without displaying statistics.
      
      After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and
      causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue
      to run and will display counter results.
      
      This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for
      a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

      This reverts commit fafd688e.
      
      Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
      for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
      to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
      have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
      revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
      forever.

      mm: close page_mkwrite races · b827e496
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
      locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
      lock until the page is marked dirty.  This allows the filesystem to have
      full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.
      
      Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
      call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
      it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.
      
      The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
      associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
      perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite.  It currently then must
      return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
      to existing page_mkwrite convention).
      
      In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty.  The
      filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
      attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
      filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
      longer dirty.
      
      It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
      ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail.  The
      filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.
      
      And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
      page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
      page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.
      
      This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
      (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
      closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
      initiated in that window.  This provides the filesystem with a strong
      synchronisation against the VM here.
      
      - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
      - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
      - I need it for fsblock.
      - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
      - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
        under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
        at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
        be fixed properly without this patch).
      - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
        page_mkwrite functions themselves.
      
      [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
        eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
        filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]
