      VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes · c23fbb6b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'.  This method
         called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
         special filesystems.  It is called without locks.
      
         Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
         pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
         use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);
      
      2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations
      
      3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
         creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
         /proc/pid/fd/...
      
      4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
         creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
         /proc/pid/fd/...
      
      A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a
      *nice* speedup on my Pentium(M) 1.6 Ghz :

      [PATCH] don't insert pipe dentries into dentry_hashtable. · d18de5a2
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      We currently insert pipe dentries into the global dentry hashtable.  This
      is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used
      for a lookup().  (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism).  Inserting
      them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups.
      
      To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after
      dentry name, we do :
      
       - Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the
         DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.
      
       - Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in
         hash table.
      
      __dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime.
      
       - At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again
         DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by
         pipe code, so that dput() can just kill_it.
      
      This patch, combined with (avoid RCU for never hashed dentries) reduced
      time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6GHz
      Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on other
      patches, only bench results)

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user space · f6762b7a
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which
      is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables
      atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic()
      instead.
      
      lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here
      are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running

      [PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operation · f84d7519
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
      since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
      rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
      of time doing it.
      
      Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
      page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
      can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c

      - Only allow full pages to go to the page cache.
      - Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN.
      - Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails.
      
      And as a cleanup on that:
      
      - Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make
        the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have
        to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end.

      [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call · 5274f052
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
      transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
      
      From the splice.c comments:
      
         "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
      
         This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
         an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
         buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
      
         The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
         that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
      
         Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
         Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
         bugs.
