  • 93e72b3c6   squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block usage to BIO ... Browse Code »

    ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears
    to come with large performance improvements.

    This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for
    the root file-system. This is observed at least in the context of
    starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm. The patch was tested
    on 4.19 as well as master.

    This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was
    originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some
    significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip
    Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for
    FILE_CACHE in particular.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 9508c6b90   Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code ... Browse Code »

    The decompressor interface and code was written from
    the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
    so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
    aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
    difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
    implementations.

    This patch does the following:

    1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
    init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
    to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
    without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
    time.

    2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
    decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
    non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
    the decompressor implementation.

    3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
    in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
    decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.

    The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
    support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
    files with specialised implementations of the functions in
    decompressor_single.c

  • b7fc0ff09   Squashfs: extend decompressor framework to handle compression options ... Browse Code »

    Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in
    the filesystem. These options can be used by the relevant decompressor
    at initialisation time to over-ride defaults.

    The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by
    the COMP_OPT filesystem flag. If present the data is read from the
    filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function. The decompressor
    init function signature has been extended to take this data.

    Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz
    decompressor wrappers.
