  • e8edc6e03   Detach sched.h from mm.h ... Browse Code »

    First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
    function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
    mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

    This patch
    a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
    b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
    c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
    d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
    e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
    getting them indirectly

    Net result is:
    a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
    they don't need sched.h
    b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
    on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
    after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

    Cross-compile tested on

    all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
    alpha alpha-up
    arm
    i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
    ia64 ia64-up
    m68k
    mips
    parisc parisc-up
    powerpc powerpc-up
    s390 s390-up
    sparc sparc-up
    sparc64 sparc64-up
    um-x86_64
    x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

    as well as my two usual configs.

  • e03abc0c9   9p: implement optional loose read cache ... Browse Code »

    While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
    place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
    exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
    store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
    performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
    we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
    any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
    two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
    in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
    to improve metadata operational performance.

  • 147b31cf0   [PATCH] v9fs: add readpage support ... Browse Code »

    v9fs mmap support was originally removed from v9fs at Al Viro's request,
    but recently there have been requests from folks who want readpage
    functionality (primarily to enable execution of files mounted via 9P).
    This patch adds readpage support (but not writepage which contained most of
    the objectionable code). It passes fsx-linux (and other regressions) so it
    should be relatively safe.
