      remove SWRITE* I/O types · 9cb569d6
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
      lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.
      
      Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
      and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers.  Note that the ll_rw_block
      code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
      this patch fixes.
      
      In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block
      to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for
      compound buffers.

      jbd: don't give up looking for space so easily in __log_wait_for_space · e219cca0
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Commit be07c4ed introducd a regression because it assumed that if
      there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress
      could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the
      journal should be aborted.  This assumption is false; it could be the
      case that simply calling cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the
      necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing
      transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in
      the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction
      to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.

      spinlock: lockbreak cleanup · 95c354fe
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
      Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
      a potentially less optimal trylock.
      
      Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
      __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
      there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
      not set.
      
      Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
      decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
      do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
      with that break_lock then?).

      jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c · d4beaf4a
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Before we start committing a transaction, we call
      __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
      buffers.
      
      If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
      buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
      because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
      assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
      
      We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
      transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
      everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
      subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
      of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
      can get to T_FINISHED state.
      
      Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
      checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
      transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
      __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
      transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
      changes in future...

      [PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint lists · 78ce89c9
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists.  In the first
      list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO.  In the second
      list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
      for the IO to complete.  This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
      lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

      [PATCH] ext3: fix list scanning in __cleanup_transaction · 7e3b11a9
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
      checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
      unfavorable conditions).
      
      The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test
      
      	} while (jh!=last_jh);
      
      Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
      the list).  As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
      are safe to just remove the assignment in the end.  It can happen that 'jh'
      will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
      as we never *dereference* the pointer.

      [PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failure · 00ea8145
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint().  We might fail
      to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
      lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk.  The patch was
      confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.
      
      When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
      Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
