2010-03-04dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories. Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas can use to fill in ->open. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-09-24vfs: optimize touch_time() tooAndi Kleen
Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime. Getting the lock in mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first. This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock region. This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.

2009-09-24vfs: optimization for touch_atime()Andi Kleen
Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for IO intensive workloads. Most likely that's due to the lock in mnt_want_write(). Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime or relatime). Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then if that didn't succeed take the lock. That works because none of the atime avoidance tests rely on locking. This also eliminates a goto.

2009-09-24vfs: split generic_forget_inode() so that hugetlbfs does not have to copy itJan Kara
Hugetlbfs needs to do special things instead of truncate_inode_pages(). Currently, it copied generic_forget_inode() except for truncate_inode_pages() call which is asking for trouble (the code there isn't trivial). So create a separate function generic_detach_inode() which does all the list magic done in generic_forget_inode() and call it from hugetlbfs_forget_inode().

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization.

2009-08-07vfs: add __destroy_inodeChristoph Hellwig

2009-08-07vfs: fix inode_init_always calling conventionChristoph Hellwig
Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.

2009-06-22vfs: Set special lockdep map for dirs only if not set by fsJan Kara
Some filesystems need to set lockdep map for i_mutex differently for different directories. For example OCFS2 has system directories (for orphan inode tracking and for gathering all system files like journal or quota files into a single place) which have different locking locking rules than standard directories. For a filesystem setting lockdep map is naturaly done when the inode is read but we have to modify unlock_new_inode() not to overwrite the lockdep map the filesystem has set.

Before: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 After: avg = 453.12 std = 9.58257 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence) It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write if the file is open for write. After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write).

Since iget() et.al. will not accept I_FREEING (will wait to go away and restart), and since we'd better have serialization between new/free on fs data structures anyway, we can afford simply skipping I_FREEING et.al. in insert_inode_locked(). We do that from new_inode, so it won't race with free_inode in any interesting ways and it won't race with iget (of any origin; nfsd or in case of fs corruption a lookup) since both still will wait for I_LOCK.

2009-03-27fs: avoid I_NEW inodesNick Piggin
To be on the safe side, it should be less fragile to exclude I_NEW inodes from inode list scans by default (unless there is an important reason to have them). Normally they will get excluded (eg. by zero refcount or writecount etc), however it is a bit fragile for list walkers to know exactly what parts of the inode state is set up and valid to test when in I_NEW. So along these lines, move I_NEW checks upward as well (sometimes taking I_FREEING etc checks with them too -- this shouldn't be a problem should it?)

2009-03-12fs: new inode i_state corruption fixNick Piggin
There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

2009-01-06mm: remove GFP_HIGHUSER_PAGECACHEHugh Dickins
GFP_HIGHUSER_PAGECACHE is just an alias for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, making that harder to track down: remove it, and its out-of-work brothers GFP_NOFS_PAGECACHE and GFP_USER_PAGECACHE. Since we're making that improvement to hotremove_migrate_alloc(), I think we can now also remove one of the "o"s from its comment.

2009-01-05zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocationAl Viro
... and don't bother in callers. Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks, while we are at it - it's already been zeroed. i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-12-31nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructureAl Viro
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-30Inode: Allow external list initialisationDavid Chinner
To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache, not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer used by XFS. After inode allocation and initialisation, we need to add the inode to the superblock list, the in-use list, hash it and do some accounting. This all needs to be done with the inode_lock held and there are already several places in fs/inode.c that do this list manipulation. Factor out the common code, add a locking wrapper and export the function so ti can be called from XFS.

This means that we need initialise a struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer used by XFS. Factor and export the struct inode initialisation code from alloc_inode() to inode_init_always() as a counterpart to inode_init_once(). i.e. we have to call this init function for each inode instantiation (always), as opposed inode_init_once() which is only called on slab object instantiation (once).

2008-08-15fs/inode.c: properly init address_space->writeback_indexChris Mason
write_cache_pages() uses i_mapping->writeback_index to pick up where it left off the last time a given inode was found by pdflush or balance_dirty_pages (or anyone else who sets wbc->range_cyclic) alloc_inode() should set it to a sane value so that writeback doesn't start in the middle of a file. It is somewhat difficult to notice the bug since write_cache_pages will loop around to the start of the file and the elevator helps hide the resulting seeks. For whatever reason, Btrfs hits this often. Unpatched, untarring 30 copies of the linux kernel in series runs at 47MB/s on a single sata drive. With this fix, it jumps to 62MB/s.

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.
