  • 09cbfeaf1   mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros ... Browse Code »

    PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
    ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
    cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

    This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

    We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
    PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
    PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
    especially on the border between fs and mm.

    Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
    breakage to be doable.

    Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
    not.

    The changes are pretty straight-forward:

    - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

    - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

    - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

    - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

    This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
    script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
    I've called spatch for them manually.

    The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
    PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

    There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
    fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
    will be addressed with the separate patch.

  • 0d455c12c   Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data ... Browse Code »

    This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
    that directly decompresses into the page cache.

    This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
    down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
    page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables
    direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
    kmap/kunmap calls.

    The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
    squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
    this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
    buffer.

    This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
    when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
    because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
    eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

    Using single-thread decompression.

    dd if=file1 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
    dd if=file2 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
    dd if=file3 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
    dd if=file4 of=/dev/null bs=4096

    Before:

    629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 45.8046 s, 13.7 MB/s

    After:

    629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 9.29414 s, 67.7 MB/s

  • 846b730e9   Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors ... Browse Code »

    Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
    abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
    to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
    independant manner.

    This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
    to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
    aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
    knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.

    This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
    cache buffers, and page cache pages.

    This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
    the caches.
