  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • On severe errors FAT remounts itself in read-only mode. Allow to
    specify FAT fs desired behavior through 'errors' mount option:
    panic, continue or remount read-only.

    `mount -t [fat|vfat] -o errors=[panic,remount-ro,continue] \
    `

    This is analog to ext2 fs 'errors' mount option.

  • mmu_private is 64bits value, hence it's not atomic to update.

    So, the access rule for mmu_private is we must hold ->i_mutex. But,
    fat_get_block() path doesn't follow the rule on non-allocation path.

    This fixes by using i_size instead if non-allocation path.

  • Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
    themselves multiplexeres. Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
    passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

    Non-trivial places are:
    arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
    arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

  • This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the
    existing superblock lock instead.

    The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private
    spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been
    dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just
    a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do.

    As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible
    latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to
    the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for
    entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.

    the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
    pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

    Convert

    ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

    to

    ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

  • Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
    c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
    BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
    either.

    This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
    completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
    about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
    or the documentation references).

  • I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
    SLAB.

    I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
    to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
    performed before each freeing of an object.

    I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
    before the free. That also places the check near the code object
    manipulation of the object.

    Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
    compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
    handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
    SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
    in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
    use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
    same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).

    There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
    clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
    pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

    This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
    unimplemented flags from SLUB.

  • Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
    memory spreading.

    If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
    in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
    from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
    memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
    allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

    The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

    file cache

    fs/ufs/super.c ufs_inode_cache
    net/socket.c sock_inode_cache
    net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c rpc_inode_cache

    The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked
    those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
    inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
    though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
    potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
    spreading.

    Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
    SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
    the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
    Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
    slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

  • 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.
