While fixing CONFIG_ leakages to the userspace kernel headers I ran into CODA_FS_OLD_API. After five years, are there still people using the old API left? Especially considering that you have to choose at compile time which API to support in the kernel (and distributions tend to offer the new API for some time). Jan: "The old API can definitely go. Around the time the new interface went in there were some non-Coda userspace file system implementations that took a while longer to convert to the new API, but by now they all switched to the new interface or in some cases to a FUSE-based solution."

This patch adds config option CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS to allow building the fs with instrumentation enabled. An upcoming patch will provide support to instrument cluster locking, which is a crucial overhead in a cluster file system. This config option allows users to avoid the cpu and memory overhead that is involved in gathering such statistics.

Some server vendors support the higher versions of rpcbind only for AF_INET6. The kernel doesn't need to use v3 or v4 for AF_INET anyway, so change the kernel's rpcbind client to query AF_INET servers over rpcbind v2 only. This has a few interesting benefits: 1. If the rpcbind request is going over TCP, and the server doesn't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4, the client reduces by two the number of ephemeral ports left in TIME_WAIT for each rpcbind request. This will help during NFS mount storms. 2. The rpcbind interaction with servers that don't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4 will use less network traffic. Also helpful during mount storms. 3. We can eliminate the kernel build option that controls whether the kernel's rpcbind client uses rpcbind version 3 and 4 for AF_INET servers. Less complicated kernel configuration...

Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected. Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3". This makes NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is enabled if NFSD_V4 is. Sam Ravnborg adds: "This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select a symbol with dependencies. In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4 so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3? But I see no other clean way to do it right now." Later he said: "My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig. This is abuse in the acceptable range."

Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled. Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc. It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies." To address these issues, remove the dependency. Signed-off-by: NChuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NJ. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

As far as I can tell, selecting the CRYPTO and CRYPTO_MD5 entries under CONFIG_NFSD is redundant, since CONFIG_NFSD_V4 already selects RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, which selects these entries.

Trond and Bruce, This is a patch for 2.6.25. This is the same version that was sent out on December 12 for review (no comments to date). To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be: - N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N - M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M - Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM. JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks. Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made incompat. The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the type of the checksum. For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details of this implementation can be found in this paper - http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf and the article- http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/ This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper). This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations and can be switched to at compiler. Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked, regardless of whether it is in use. This is this the most time consuming part of the filesystem check. The unintialized block group feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes. With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block group. Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time. A checksum of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation. The feature is enabled through a mkfs option mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list. The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx. In performance tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem. In ext4 with the uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count. Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time for users. With performance improvement of 2-20 times, depending on how full the filesystem is. The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use. In each group descriptor if we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags: Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip the consistency check during fsck. EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags: No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap verification for this group. We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of uninitialized group patch. __le16 bg_itable_unused; /* Unused inodes count */ __le16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */ bg_itable_unused: If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused. bg_checksum: Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.
