  • The reservation for an inode should be cleared when it is truncated so
    that we can start again at a different offset for future allocations.
    We could try and do better than that, by resetting the search based on
    where the truncation started from, but this is only a first step.

    In addition, there are three callers of gfs2_rs_delete() but only one
    of those should really be testing the value of i_writecount. While
    we get away with that in the other cases currently, I think it would
    be better if we made that test specific to the one case which
    requires it.

  • Since the previous patch eliminated bi in favor of bii, this follow-on
    patch needed to be adjusted accordingly. Here is the revised version.

    This patch adds a new function, gfs2_rbm_incr, which increments
    an rbm structure. This is more efficient than calling gfs2_rbm_to_block,
    incrementing, then calling gfs2_rbm_from_block.

  • This is a respin of the original patch. As Steve pointed out, the
    introduction of field bii makes it easy to eliminate bi itself.
    This revised patch does just that, replacing bi with bii.

    This patch adds a new field to the rbm structure, called bii,
    which is an index into the array of bitmaps for an rgrp.
    This replaces *bi which was a pointer to the bitmap.
    This is being done for further optimizations.

  • When we used try locks for rgrps on block allocations, it was important
    to clear the flags field so that we used a blocking hold on the glock.
    Now that we're not doing try locks, clearing flags is unnecessary, and
    a waste of time. In fact, it's probably doing the wrong thing because
    it clears the GL_SKIP bit that was set for the lvb tracking purposes.

  • This patch introduces a new field in the bitmap structure called
    bi_blocks. Its purpose is to save us from constantly multiplying
    bi_len by the constant GFS2_NBBY. It also paves the way for more
    optimization in a future patch.

  • In function gfs2_rbm_from_block, it starts by checking if the block
    falls within the first bitmap. It does so by checking if the rbm's
    offset is less than (rbm->bi->bi_start + rbm->bi->bi_len) * GFS2_NBBY.
    However, the first bitmap will always have bi_start==0. Therefore
    this is an unnecessary calculation in a function that gets called
    billions of times. This patch removes the reference to bi_start.

  • Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
    size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
    reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
    the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
    partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
    Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
    limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].

    Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
    or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
    other than these.

  • The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
    accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.

    This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
    proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
    fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
    at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
    both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
    things from the LRU.

    The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
    flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
    remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
    is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
    sanity checking.

  • When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
    fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
    the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
    completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
    cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
    cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.

    In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
    the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
    cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
    fscache.

    With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
    page lock in cifs_write_begin().

    The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

  • This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
    and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
    the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.

    Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
    by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
    Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
    bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
    R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle). Otherwise the handler is
    reentered over and over again.

    The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
    uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
    interrupt is cleared. Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
    SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
    drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
    request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
    handler of `struct irq_chip'. Previously these interrupts were cleared in
    the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

  • Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
    early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
    it. Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
    Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
    is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
    being the same as at the beginning.

    This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
    the systems affected. The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
    installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
    Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
    interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
    clock source and a clock event both at a time. However we never need an
    R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
    whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.

    This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
    DECstations:

    1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).

    2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).

    3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).

    4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).

    For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
    being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency. For #2 it also
    arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
    clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
    important than a high-precision interval timer. For #3 there is no
    change. For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
    installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
    event device.

    Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
    succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt. That never happens, because
    while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
    a loop reading the CP0 Count register. This makes the CP0 Count erratum
    trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
    As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
    just as #2. However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
    (hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
    the erratum.
