      [GFS2] Fix setting of inherit jdata attr · b9af7ca6
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      Due to a mix up between the jdata attribute and inherit jdata attribute
      it has not been possible to set the inherit jdata attribute on
      directories. This is now fixed and the ioctl will report the inherit
      jdata attribute for directories rather than the jdata attribute as it
      did previously. This stems from our need to have the one bit in the
      ioctl attr flags mean two different things according to whether the
      underlying inode is a directory or not.

      mm: fault feedback #1 · d0217ac0
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
      VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
       FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
      locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
      it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
      arch code).
      
      This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
      that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
      can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
      going to do that anyway.
      
      struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
      is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
      without really good reason.
      
      The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

      mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) · 54cb8821
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
      the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
      
      ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
      should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
      is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
       But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
      calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
      
      Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
      to be doing.
      
      This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
      ->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
      so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
      everyone switches over.
      
      The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
      subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
      to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
      
      After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
      pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
      
      NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
      users have hit mainline yet.

      mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappings · d00806b1
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.
      
      Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
      pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.
      
      The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
      before it can be discarded from the pagecache.  Between shooting down ptes to
      a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
      do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
      mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.
      
      The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
      This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
      file's i_size, and its truncate_count.
      
      Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
      unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
      page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
      table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
      will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
      truncate_count is actually visible).
      
      Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
      case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size.  do_no_page
      can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
      progress (as it is when it is outside i_size).  The end result is that
      dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
      may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data.  Valid mappings to the same
      place will see a different page.
      
      Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
      a page->flags bit.  He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
      that was initially considered too heavyweight.  However, it is not a global or
      per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
      _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
      performance hit.  Scalability is not an issue.
      
      This patch implements this latter approach.  ->nopage implementations return
      with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
      invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
      so).  do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
      completely.  invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
      invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
      holding the lock).
      
      This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
      the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

      [GFS2] Clean up inode number handling · dbb7cae2
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This patch cleans up the inode number handling code. The main difference
      is that instead of looking up the inodes using a struct gfs2_inum_host
      we now use just the no_addr member of this structure. The tests relating
      to no_formal_ino can then be done by the calling code. This has
      advantages in that we want to do different things in different code
      paths if the no_formal_ino doesn't match. In the NFS patch we want to
      return -ESTALE, but in the ->lookup() path, its a bug in the fs if the
      no_formal_ino doesn't match and thus we can withdraw in this case.
      
      In order to later fix bz #201012, we need to be able to look up an inode
      without knowing no_formal_ino, as the only information that is known to
      us is the on-disk location of the inode in question.
      
      This patch will also help us to fix bz #236099 at a later date by
      cleaning up a lot of the code in that area.
      
      There are no user visible changes as a result of this patch and there
      are no changes to the on-disk format either.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      [GFS2] Clean up/speed up readdir · 3699e3a4
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
      enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
      code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
      case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
      stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
      was.
      
      As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
      files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
      between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
      the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.
      
      Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
      taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
      patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
      used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
      locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
      being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
      the same data over and over.
      
      Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
      the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
      are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
      and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
      considerably.

      [GFS2] Change gfs2_fsync() to use write_inode_now() · 34126f9f
      Steven Whitehouse 提交于
      This is a bit better than the previous version of gfs2_fsync()
      although it would be better still if we were able to call a
      function which only wrote the inode & metadata. Its no big deal
      though that this will potentially write the data as well since
      the VFS has already done that before calling gfs2_fsync(). I've
      also added a comment to explain whats going on here.
