      vfs: make getcwd() get the root and pwd path under rcu · 8b19e341
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count
updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic
snapshot of the root and cwd information.

We might want to make the rule that "prepend_path()" is always called
with the RCU lock held, but the RCU lock nests fine and this is the
minimal fix.

      vfs: move get_fs_root_and_pwd() to single caller · 5762482f
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Let's not pollute the include files with inline functions that are only
used in a single place.  Especially not if we decide we might want to
change the semantics of said function to make it more efficient..

      Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "This is against 3.11-rc7, but was pulled and tested against your tree
  as of yesterday.  We do have two small incrementals queued up, but I
  wanted to get this bunch out the door before I hop on an airplane.

  This is a fairly large batch of fixes, performance improvements, and
  cleanups from the usual Btrfs suspects.

  We've included Stefan Behren's work to index subvolume UUIDs, which is
  targeted at speeding up send/receive with many subvolumes or snapshots
  in place.  It closes a long standing performance issue that was built
  in to the disk format.

  Mark Fasheh's offline dedup work is also here.  In this case offline
  means the FS is mounted and active, but the dedup work is not done
  inline during file IO.  This is a building block where utilities are
  able to ask the FS to dedup a series of extents.  The kernel takes
  care of verifying the data involved really is the same.  Today this
  involves reading both extents, but we'll continue to evolve the
  patches"

      dcache: get/release read lock in read_seqbegin_or_lock() & friend · 18129977
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use
newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl()
primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they
fall back to take the lock.  This is OK as no change to the protected
data structure is being made.

It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series
of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number
change.  It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while
an exclusive reader lock is taken.

This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

      seqlock: Add a new locking reader type · 1370e97b
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      The sequence lock (seqlock) was originally designed for the cases where
the readers do not need to block the writers by making the readers retry
the read operation when the data change.

Since then, the use cases have been expanded to include situations where
a thread does not need to change the data (effectively a reader) at all
but have to take the writer lock because it can't tolerate changes to
the protected structure.  Some examples are the d_path() function and
the getcwd() syscall in fs/dcache.c where the functions take the writer
lock on rename_lock even though they don't need to change anything in
the protected data structure at all.  This is inefficient as a reader is
now blocking other sequence number reading readers from moving forward
by pretending to be a writer.

This patch tries to eliminate this inefficiency by introducing a new
type of locking reader to the seqlock locking mechanism.  This new
locking reader will try to take an exclusive lock preventing other
writers and locking readers from going forward.  However, it won't
affect the progress of the other sequence number reading readers as the
sequence number won't be changed.
