2006-01-09[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocatorMatt Mackall
configurable replacement for slab allocator This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. When CONFIG_SLAB is disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator. SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer, similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced. It's signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient. But like all similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems. It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree. I've also stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not recommended). Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving nearly half a megabyte of RAM: $ size vmlinux* text data bss dec hex filename 3336372 529360 190812 4056544 3de5e0 vmlinux-slab 3323208 527948 190684 4041840 3dac70 vmlinux-slob $ size mm/{slab,slob}.o text data bss dec hex filename 13221 752 48 14021 36c5 mm/slab.o 1896 52 8 1956 7a4 mm/slob.o /proc/meminfo: SLAB SLOB delta MemTotal: 27964 kB 27980 kB +16 kB MemFree: 24596 kB 25092 kB +496 kB Buffers: 36 kB 36 kB 0 kB Cached: 1188 kB 1188 kB 0 kB SwapCached: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Active: 608 kB 600 kB -8 kB Inactive: 808 kB 812 kB +4 kB HighTotal: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB LowTotal: 27964 kB 27980 kB +16 kB LowFree: 24596 kB 25092 kB +496 kB SwapTotal: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB SwapFree: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Dirty: 4 kB 12 kB +8 kB Writeback: 0 kB 0 kB 0 kB Mapped: 560 kB 556 kB -4 kB Slab: 1756 kB 0 kB -1756 kB CommitLimit: 13980 kB 13988 kB +8 kB Committed_AS: 4208 kB 4208 kB 0 kB PageTables: 28 kB 28 kB 0 kB VmallocTotal: 1007312 kB 1007312 kB 0 kB VmallocUsed: 48 kB 48 kB 0 kB VmallocChunk: 1007264 kB 1007264 kB 0 kB (this work has been sponsored in part by CELF) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Fix 32-bitness bugs in mm/slob.c.

2006-01-09[PATCH] drop-pagecacheAndrew Morton
Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. When written to, this will cause the kernel to discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can. THis operation requires root permissions. It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first. Caveats: a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time. b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis. This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between filesystem benchmarks. We could possibly put it under a config option, but it's less than 300 bytes.

2006-01-06NFSv4: Allow entries in the idmap cache to expireTrond Myklebust

2006-01-06SUNRPC: get rid of cl_chattyChuck Lever
Clean up: Every ULP that uses the in-kernel RPC client, except the NLM client, sets cl_chatty. There's no reason why NLM shouldn't set it, so just get rid of cl_chatty and always be verbose.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: new interface to force an RPC rebindChuck Lever
We'd like to hide fields in rpc_xprt and rpc_clnt from upper layer protocols. Start by creating an API to force RPC rebind, replacing logic that simply sets cl_port to zero. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked. Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-01-06NFSv3: try get_root user-supplied security_flavorJ. Bruce Fields
Thanks to Ed Keizer for bug and root cause. He says: "... we could only mount the top-level Solaris share. We could not mount deeper into the tree. Investigation showed that Solaris allows UNIX authenticated FSINFO only on the top level of the share. This is a problem because we share/export our home directories one level higher than we mount them. I.e. we share the partition and not the individual home directories. This prevented access to home directories." We still may need to try auth_sys for the case where the client doesn't have appropriate credentials. Signed-off-by: J.

2006-01-06NLM: Further cancel fixesJ. Bruce Fields
If the server receives an NLM cancel call and finds no waiting lock to cancel, then chances are the lock has already been applied, and the client just hadn't yet processed the NLM granted callback before it sent the cancel. The Open Group text, for example, perimts a server to return either success (LCK_GRANTED) or failure (LCK_DENIED) in this case. But returning an error seems more helpful; the client may be able to use it to recognize that a race has occurred and to recover from the race. So, modify the relevant functions to return an error in this case. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-01-06NLM: don't unlock on cancel requestsJ. Bruce Fields
Currently when lockd gets an NLM_CANCEL request, it also does an unlock for the same range. This is incorrect. The Open Group documentation says that "This procedure cancels an *outstanding* blocked lock request." (Emphasis mine.) Also, consider a client that holds a lock on the first byte of a file, and requests a lock on the entire file. If the client cancels that request (perhaps because the requesting process is signalled), the server shouldn't apply perform an unlock on the entire file, since that will also remove the previous lock that the client was already granted. Or consider a lock request that actually *downgraded* an exclusive lock to a shared lock. Signed-off-by: J.

2006-01-06NLM: Clean up nlmsvc_grant_reply lockingJ. Bruce Fields

2006-01-06NFSv4: Ensure DELEGRETURN returns attributesTrond Myklebust
Upon return of a write delegation, the server will almost always bump the change attribute. Ensure that we pick up that change so that we don't invalidate our data cache unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-01-06NFSv4: Ensure change attribute returned by GETATTR callback conforms to specTrond Myklebust
According to RFC3530 we're supposed to cache the change attribute at the time the client receives a write delegation. If the inode is clean, a CB_GETATTR callback by the server to the client is supposed to return the cached change attribute. If, OTOH, the inode is dirty, the client should bump the cached change attribute by 1. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-01-06NFS: Make stat() return updated mtimes after a write()Trond Myklebust
The SuS states that a call to write() will cause mtime to be updated on the file. In order to satisfy that requirement, we need to flush out any cached writes in nfs_getattr(). Speed things up slightly by not committing the writes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-01-06NFS: support large reads and writes on the wireChuck Lever
Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the wire. The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance. Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too. This will help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers that support them. Test-plan: Connectathon and iozone on mount point with wsize=rsize>32768 over TCP. Tests with NFS over UDP to verify the maximum RPC payload size cap.

2006-01-06NFS: use generic_write_checks() to sanity check direct writesChuck Lever
Replace ad hoc write parameter sanity checking in nfs_file_direct_write() with a call to generic_write_checks().

2006-01-06NFSv4: Make nfs4_state track O_RDWR, O_RDONLY and O_WRONLY separatelyTrond Myklebust
A closer reading of RFC3530 reveals that OPEN_DOWNGRADE must always specify a access modes that have been the argument of a previous OPEN operation. IOW: doing OPEN(O_RDWR) and then OPEN_DOWNGRADE(O_WRONLY) is forbidden unless the user called OPEN(O_WRONLY) In order to fix that, we really need to track the three possible open states separately.

2006-01-06NFSv4: stateful NFSv4 RPC call interfaceTrond Myklebust
The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state. The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we want to add the ability to wait for completion. The waits are, of course, interruptible. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
