2011-07-21fs: simplify handling of zero sized reads in __blockdev_direct_IOChristoph Hellwig
Reject zero sized reads as soon as we know our I/O length, and don't borther with locks or allocations that might have to be cleaned up otherwise. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use generic helpersJan Kara
Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use __block_page_mkwrite() helper. This removes the need of using i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate which seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in mm/rmap.c. Also calling ext4_da_write_begin() as used by the old code seems to be problematic because we can decide to flush delay-allocated blocks which will acquire s_umount semaphore - again creating unpleasant lock dependency if not directly a deadlock. Also add a check for frozen filesystem so that we don't busyloop in page fault when the filesystem is frozen. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21fat: remove i_alloc_sem abuseChristoph Hellwig
Add a new rw_semaphore to protect bmap against truncate. Previous i_alloc_sem was abused for this, but it's going away in this series. Note that we can't simply use i_mutex, given that the swapon code calls ->bmap under it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-21xfs: make use of new shrinker callout for the inode cacheDave Chinner
Convert the inode reclaim shrinker to use the new per-sb shrinker operations. This allows much bigger reclaim batches to be used, and allows the XFS inode cache to be shrunk in proportion with the VFS dentry and inode caches. This avoids the problem of the VFS caches being shrunk significantly before the XFS inode cache is shrunk resulting in imbalances in the caches during reclaim.

2011-07-21vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

2011-07-21superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-21inode: remove iprune_semDave Chinner
Now that we have per-sb shrinkers with a lifecycle that is a subset of the superblock lifecycle and can reliably detect a filesystem being unmounted, there is not longer any race condition for the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructureDave Chinner
With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

2011-07-20xfs: convert AIL cursors to use struct list_headDave Chinner
The list of active AIL cursors uses a roll-your-own linked list with special casing for the AIL push cursor. Simplify this code by replacing the list with standard struct list_head lists, and use a separate list_head to track the active cursors. This allows us to treat the AIL push cursor as a generic cursor rather than as a special case, further simplifying the code. Further, fix the duplicate push cursor initialisation that the special case handling was hiding, and clean up all the comments around the active cursor list handling.

2011-07-20xfs: remove confusing ail cursor wrapperDave Chinner
xfs_trans_ail_cursor_set() doesn't set the cursor to the current log item, it sets it to the next item. There is already a function for doing this - xfs_trans_ail_cursor_next() - and the _set function is simply a two line wrapper. Remove it and open code the setting of the cursor in the two locations that call it to remove the confusion.

2011-07-20xfs: use a cursor for bulk AIL insertionDave Chinner
Delayed logging can insert tens of thousands of log items into the AIL at the same LSN. When the committing of log commit records occur, we can get insertions occurring at an LSN that is not at the end of the AIL. If there are thousands of items in the AIL on the tail LSN, each insertion has to walk the AIL to find the correct place to insert the new item into the AIL. This can consume large amounts of CPU time and block other operations from occurring while the traversals are in progress. To avoid this repeated walk, use a AIL cursor to record where we should be inserting the new items into the AIL without having to repeat the walk. The cursor infrastructure already provides this functionality for push walks, so is a simple extension of existing code. While this will not avoid the initial walk, it will avoid repeating it tens of thousands of times during a single checkpoint commit. This version includes logic improvements from Christoph Hellwig.

2011-07-20xfs: failure mapping nfs fh to inode should return ESTALEJ. Bruce Fields
On xfs exports, nfsd is incorrectly returning ENOENT instead of ESTALE on attempts to use a filehandle of a deleted file (spotted with pynfs test PUTFH3). The ENOENT was coming from xfs_iget. (It's tempting to wonder whether we should just map all xfs_iget errors to ESTALE, but I don't believe so--xfs_iget can also return ENOMEM at least, which we wouldn't want mapped to ESTALE.) While we're at it, the other return of ENOENT in xfs_nfs_get_inode() also looks wrong. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2011-07-20superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.cDave Chinner
The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

2011-07-20inode: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner
With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

2011-07-20inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblockDave Chinner
The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.

Old d_alloc(NULL, name) callers are converted to that (all of them know what superblock they want). d_alloc() itself is left only for parent != NULl case; uses __d_alloc(), inserts result into the list of parent's children.
