      mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length · d47992f8
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
      truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
      needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
      operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
      hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
      up to the certain point.
      
      Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
      be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
      range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
      page).
      
      This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
      prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
      for it.
      
      We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
      make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
      
      Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
      where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
      in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
      to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

      logfs: destroy the reserved inodes while unmounting · d2dcd908
      Prasad Joshi 提交于
      We were assuming that the evict_inode() would never be called on
      reserved inodes. However, (after the commit 8e22c1a4 logfs: get rid
      of magical inodes) while unmounting the file system, in put_super, we
      call iput() on all of the reserved inodes.
      
      The following simple test used to cause a kernel panic on LogFS:
      
      1. Mount a LogFS file system on /mnt
      
      2. Create a file
         $ touch /mnt/a
      
      3. Try to unmount the FS
         $ umount /mnt
      
      The simple fix would be to drop the assumption and properly destroy
      the reserved inodes.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      Simplify and fix pad_wbuf · 81def6b9
      Joern Engel 提交于
      A comment in the old code read:
              /* The math in this function can surely use some love */
      
      And indeed it did.  In the case that area->a_used_bytes is exactly
      4096 bytes below segment size it fell apart.  pad_wbuf is now split
      into two helpers that are significantly less complicated.

      [LogFS] Fix bdev erases · 9421502b
      Joern Engel 提交于
      Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff.
      Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was
      changed to 0xff.  Superficialy a good idea with two problems:
      1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either.
      2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal.  As the
         journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry
         can be used on next mount and cause havoc.
      
      This should fix both aspects.
