      fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix · 54566b2c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
      could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
      allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
      assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
      cause filesystem deadlocks.
      
      The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
      allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
      called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
      take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
      anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
      
      Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
      this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
      accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
      change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
      and does away with random leading underscores).
      
      This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
      filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
      ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
      GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
      random example).

      UBIFS: pre-allocate bulk-read buffer · 3477d204
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
      a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
      a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
      do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
      reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
      while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.

      UBIFS: do not allocate too much · 6c0c42cd
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
      starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
      works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
      (non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
      to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
      allocating 128KiB every time.
      
      This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
      have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
      the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
      path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
      'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
      not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

      UBIFS: do not print scary memory allocation warnings · 39ce81ce
      Artem Bityutskiy 提交于
      Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
      is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
      because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
      Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
      
      This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
      This is just neater.
      
      Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
      the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.
