2015-04-15mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAPBoaz Harrosh1-0/+8
This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

2015-02-12fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_mapsRafael Aquini1-15/+15
The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output: 7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't. The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands. This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page backed VMAs. This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups taken from the following dicussion threads: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/454 * https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/20/66 Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-02-10Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)Linus Torvalds3-195/+9
Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton: "Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes. - fs/notify updates - ocfs2 - some of MM" That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(), which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot* of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the non-linear mappings that it used. From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of one non-linear one. The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying the VM is a big advantage. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (78 commits) memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex memcg: zap memcg_name argument of memcg_create_kmem_cache memcg: zap __memcg_{charge,uncharge}_slab mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check mm: hugetlb: fix type of hugetlb_treat_as_movable variable mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"? mm: memory: merge shared-writable dirtying branches in do_wp_page() mm: memory: remove ->vm_file check on shared writable vmas xtensa: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers x86: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers unicore32: drop pte_file()-related helpers um: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers tile: drop pte_file()-related helpers sparc: drop pte_file()-related helpers sh: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers score: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers s390: drop pte_file()-related helpers parisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers openrisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers nios2: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers ...

2015-02-10ocfs2: add a mount option journal_async_commit on ocfs2 filesystemalex chen1-0/+4
Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature: JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT. When this feature is opened, journal commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks, which can improve journal commit performance. This option will enable 'journal_checksum' internally. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5. test script: fs_mark -d /mnt/ocfs2/ -s 10240 -n 1000 default: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 215.2 17878 with journal_async_commit option: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 317.5 17881 Signed-off-by: Alex Chen <alex.chen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Weiwei Wang <wangww631@huawei.comm> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
