      GFS2: fix d_splice_alias() misuses · cfb2f9d5
      Al Viro 提交于
      Callers of d_splice_alias(dentry, inode) don't need iput(), neither
      on success nor on failure.  Either the reference to inode is stored
      in a previously negative dentry, or it's dropped.  In either case
      inode reference the caller used to hold is consumed.
      
      __gfs2_lookup() does iput() in case when d_splice_alias() has failed.
      Double iput() if we ever hit that.  And gfs2_create_inode() ends up
      not only with double iput(), but with link count dropped to zero - on
      an inode it has just found in directory.

      sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions · 74316201
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
      function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
      There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
      Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
      which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
      
      So:
       Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
              wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
       to make it explicit that they need an action function.
      
       Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
       which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
       a standard one.
       The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
       based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
       function.
      
       All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
       can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
       action functions have been discarded.
       wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
       event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
       interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
      
      The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
      ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
      fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
      David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
      "uninterruptible"
      
      The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
      which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
      
      A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
      functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
      field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
      As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
      will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
      the distinction will still be visible, only with different
      function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
      gfs2/glock.c case).
      
      Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
      functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
      uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
      schedule call as NFS.

      mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible · 2457aec6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
      mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after.  Once the page is
      visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
      when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
      noticable with fast storage.  The objective of the patch is to initialse
      the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
      visible.
      
      The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
      grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
      allocation of a page cache page.  This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
      helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
      called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
      
      The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
      by most filesystems.
      
      	find_get_page
      	find_lock_page
      	find_or_create_page
      	grab_cache_page_nowait
      	grab_cache_page_write_begin
      
      All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
      pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
      behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not.  Then
      old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
      function.
      
      Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
      mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
      done the job.  There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
      mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
      gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
      have been repromoted.  This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
      filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
      timing change.  It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
      pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
      have consistent behaviour in this regard.
      
      The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
      multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations.  The size of the
      file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing.  In the
      async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
      hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
      of mark_page_accessed for async IO.  The sync results are expected to be
      more stable.  The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
      to not hit the disk.
      
      The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
      artifacts.  Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
      times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
      variability is unsuitable for comparison.  As async results were variable
      do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures.  The sync
      results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
      
      The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
      Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

      GFS2: remove transaction glock · 24972557
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
      transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
      Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
      make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.
      
      This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
      transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
      cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
      when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
      freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
      recovery.
      
      When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
      exclusively.  When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
      from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
      special log flush.  gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
      the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
      freeze glock in a shared state again.  Since the filesystem is stuck in
      gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
      to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
      glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
      lock, so it is cached for next time.
      
      However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
      shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
      If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
      unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.
      
      In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
      on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
      unfreezes the filesystem.  The functions which need to grab a shared
      lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
      grabbed by the freeze code instead.
      
      The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
      lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

      mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache · 91b0abe3
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
      evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
      iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
      reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
      code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
      
      Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
      under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
      for this flag before installing shadow pages.

      fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs() · 02b9984d
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
      file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
      unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
      documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
      except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
      remounted read-only.
      
      However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
      actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
      probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
      read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
      not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
      like romfs).
