JBD: Replace slab allocations with page allocations
JBD allocate memory for committed_data and frozen_data from slab. However
JBD should not pass slab pages down to the block layer. Use page allocator pages instead. This will also prepare JBD for the large blocksize patchset.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file
quilt refresh
doneThe script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be
16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block
containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require
journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common.
Still, should fix.(some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well).
I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be
safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block
boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not
worrying about it at this point.Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen

JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs. With
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127
So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from
its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups]

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
Unpatched:
40 seconds
Patched:
35 seconds
Batching disabled:
35 secondsThis is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...Cc: "Stephen C. Tweedie"

- ->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.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change

typedef) and documents what's going on far better.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*/All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.
arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via

be mostly fine.From: Grant Grundler
Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).From: "Luck, Tony"

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
