      ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal · 0390131b
      Frank Mayhar 提交于
      A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
      without a journal.  Since that time I've integrated the excellent
      comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs.  We're currently
      running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
      both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
      a journal.  It just so happens that running without a journal is
      slightly faster for most everything.
      
      We did
      	iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
      
      which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
      a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
      to bypass the page cache.  Results:
      
                           ext2        ext4, default   ext4, no journal
        initial writes   13.0 MB/s        15.4 MB/s          15.7 MB/s
        rewrites         13.1 MB/s        15.6 MB/s          15.9 MB/s
        reads            15.2 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
        re-reads         15.3 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
        random readers    5.6 MB/s         5.6 MB/s           5.7 MB/s
        random writers    5.1 MB/s         5.3 MB/s           5.4 MB/s 
      
      So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

      ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings · 2a21e37e
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot*
      of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps.  While it's true
      that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the
      stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original
      root cause of the problem.  So in the case where the filesystem has
      aborted, return an EROFS right away.

      ext4: remove do_blk_alloc() · 97df5d15
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only
      one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the
      code and to make it easier to understand.
      
      To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in
      ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and
      if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

      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).

      struct ext[234]_sb_info.

      We have two seperate config entries for large devices/files. One
      is CONFIG_LBD that guards just the devices, the other is CONFIG_LSF
      that handles large files. This doesn't make a lot of sense, you typically
      want both or none. So get rid of CONFIG_LSF and change CONFIG_LBD wording
      to indicate that it covers both.

      This means that ext4 will be slow again.  But correct.

          Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>
          Date:   Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400
      
              percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      
      Before this patch we had the following:
      
      percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value
      
      percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying
      that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before
      returning.
      
      After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and
      percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      functionality.
      
      Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set()
      functionality was racy and wrong.  It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus,
      without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from
      those other CPUS.
      
      This patch reverts 1f7c14c6.  This means
      that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but
      percpu_counter_sum() does not.
      
      Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using
      percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well.
      
      Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics.
      
      Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's
      central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read()
      will return a close value.
      
      After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's
      central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to
      percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result.
      
      If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after
      e8ced39d was merged, and which depends
      upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.
