      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe() · 62752ee1
      由 Mark Fasheh 提交于 
      The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.

The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.

      [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fields · 50462062
      由 Alexey Dobriyan 提交于 
      [assuming BSD security levels are deleted]
The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux,
however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel.
So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each
security field is likely an overkill.

Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is
moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs
and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster.

The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is
still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig
build.

struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct
become smaller.

P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to
linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page.

      [PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache hooks · b0196009
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
memory spreading.

See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
for memory spreading.

The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
caches, and buffer_head.  This list may change over time.  In particular,
other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.

      [PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with I_WILL_FREE set · 7f04c26d
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
       			list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use);
 		} else {
 			list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused);
+			inodes_stat.nr_unused++;
 		}
 	}
 	wake_up_inode(inode);

Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between
2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong.

The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is
that I_WILL_FREE is set.  And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not
increase nr_unused.  So I believe the above change is buggy and it will
definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed
out.

Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can
drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear
here:

		spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
		__wait_on_inode(inode);
		iput(inode);
XXXXXXX
		spin_lock(&inode_lock);
	}
	use inode again here

a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting
standpoint.

Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the
inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput
would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was
useless if we keep using the inode after the iput.

So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode
with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will
prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX).

Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong
because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug).

The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing
in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we
don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps
a reference on the inode!

      [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/* · 27496a8c
      由 Al Viro 提交于 
       - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
 - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
 - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

      [PATCH] move truncate_inode_pages() into ->delete_inode() · e85b5652
      由 Mark Fasheh 提交于 
      Allow file systems supporting ->delete_inode() to call
truncate_inode_pages() on their own.  OCFS2 wants this so it can query the
cluster before making a final decision on whether to wipe an inode from
disk or not.  In some corner cases an inode marked on the local node via
voting may not actually get orphaned.  A good example is node death before
the transaction moving the inode to the orphan dir commits to the journal.
Without this patch, the truncate_inode_pages() call in
generic_delete_inode() would discard valid data for such inodes.

During earlier discussion in the 2.6.13 merge plan thread, Christoph
Hellwig indicated that other file systems might also find this useful.

IMHO, the best solution would be to just allow ->drop_inode() to do the
cluster query but it seems that would require a substantial reworking of
that section of the code.  Assuming it is safe to call write_inode_now() in
ocfs2_delete_inode() for those inodes which won't actually get wiped, this
solution should get us by for now.

Trivial testing of this patch (and a related OCFS2 update) has shown this
to avoid the corruption I'm seeing.
