      sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc · 97ac7350
      Amit Arora 提交于
      fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
      applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
      Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
      to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
      Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
      level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
      also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
      the system becomes full.
      
      Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
      can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
      on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
      each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
      can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
      the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
      posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
      and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
      back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
      ToDos:
      1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
         and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
         previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
         once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
         in this take.
      2. Changes to glibc,
         a) to support fallocate() system call
         b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

      utimensat implementation · 1c710c89
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it
      
      a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
      b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
      c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
      d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
         of the BSD lutimes(3) functions
      
      For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
      accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.
      
      Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
      which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.
      
      Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
      such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
      not everybody likes (chroot etc).

      [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve · 3db03b4a
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
      instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
      get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
      architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
      remove these right away.

      This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also

      [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall · 912d35f8
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
      moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.
      
      This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
      inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
      receive support as well.

      [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee() · 70524490
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
      pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.
      
      Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
      file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
      another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
      input pipe data.

      [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call · 5274f052
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
      transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
      
      From the splice.c comments:
      
         "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
      
         This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
         an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
         buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
      
         The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
         that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
      
         Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
         Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
         bugs.

      [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interface · 39743889
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
      
      This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
      half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
      
      The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process.  A process may
      have migrated to another node.  Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
      context.  sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
      
      sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
      changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory.  Paul
      Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
      migration if the cpuset of a process is changed.  However, a user may decide
      to manually control the migration.
      
      This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
      functions that are also needed for mbind and friends.  The patch also provides
      a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
      move memory.  sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
      implementation.
      
      The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
      thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
      nodeset (which may be a cpuset).  When direct page migration becomes available
      then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
      between different nodesets.  The current implementation simply evicts all
      pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
      
      Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

      [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design · 22e2c507
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
      v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
      aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
      supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
      directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
      set/getpriority.
      
      This import is based on my latest from -mm.
