      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      remove inode_setattr · 1025774c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
      moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
      can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
      
      In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
      so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
      
       spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
       btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
       ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
      
      In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
      which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

      NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock. · bfab36e8
      Anton Altaparmakov 提交于
      Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
      debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.
      
      The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
      balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
      little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
      to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
      across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
      deadlock.
      
      We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers.  This
      has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
      journal is large as we have clear it all.  One day someone should improve
      on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
      can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
      and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

      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!
