  • 405f55712   headers: smp_lock.h redux ... Browse Code »

    * Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
    * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
    * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
    It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

    This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
    (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

  • 6cfd01484   push BKL down into ->put_super ... Browse Code »

    Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
    filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
    s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
    hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
    of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
    Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

    [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
    removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
    now]
    [AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

  • d0b079483   iget: stop FreeVXFS from using iget() and read_inode() ... Browse Code »

    Stop the FreeVXFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
    vxfs_read_inode() with vxfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
    vxfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
    instead of an inode in the event of an error.

    vxfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
    instead of EINVAL.

  • 20c2df83d   mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). ... Browse Code »

    Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
    c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
    BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
    either.

    This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
    completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
    about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
    or the documentation references).

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in

    with a !uptodate page.

    This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
    to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
    routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

    Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)

    The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
    on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
    in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
    (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
    save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
    disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
    in the VFS inode structure).

    This patch:

    The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
    which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
    using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
    a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
    cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
    the union will actually be used.

    Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
    pointer.

    This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
    sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
    require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
    the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

    linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
    successfully.

    Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

  • 454e2398b   [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount ... Browse Code »

    Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
    permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

    The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
    pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
    which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
    superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

    The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
    superblock pointer.

    This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
    points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
    such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
    and mnt_sb would be set directly.

    The patch also makes the following changes:

    (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
    pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
    very little.

    (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
    normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
    always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

    (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
    dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

    This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
    aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
    currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
    and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
    dentries being left unculled.

    However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
    implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
    simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
    inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
    with child trees.

    [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

    (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
    changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

    This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/

    The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to

    things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
    cache clean)

  • 4b6a9316f   [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems ... Browse Code »

    Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
    memory spreading.

    If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
    in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
    from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
    memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
    allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

    The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

    fs/ufs/super.c ufs_inode_cache
    net/socket.c sock_inode_cache
    net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c rpc_inode_cache

    The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked
    those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
    inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
    though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
    potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
    spreading.

    Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
    SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
    the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
    Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
    slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early

    infrastructure for it.
