2011-01-07fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash lockingNick Piggin1-1/+2

2011-01-07fs: cache optimise dentry and inode for rcu-walkNick Piggin1-19/+23
Put dentry and inode fields into top of data structure. This allows RCU path traversal to perform an RCU dentry lookup in a path walk by touching only the first 56 bytes of the dentry. We also fit in 8 bytes of inline name in the first 64 bytes, so for short names, only 64 bytes needs to be touched to perform the lookup. We should get rid of the hash->prev pointer from the first 64 bytes, and fit 16 bytes of name in there, which will take care of 81% rather than 32% of the kernel tree. inode is also rearranged so that RCU lookup will only touch a single cacheline in the inode, plus one in the i_ops structure. This is important for directory component lookups in RCU path walking. In the kernel source, directory names average is around 6 chars, so this works. When we reach the last element of the lookup, we need to lock it and take its refcount which requires another cacheline access. Align dentry and inode operations structs, so members will be at predictable offsets and we can group common operations into head of structure. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: avoid inode RCU freeing for pseudo fsNick Piggin1-0/+1

2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin1-1/+4
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-10-27fs: Add FITRIM ioctlLukas Czerner1-0/+8
Adds an filesystem independent ioctl to allow implementation of file system batched discard support. I takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/fs.h and its definition is as follows. struct fstrim_range { start; len; minlen; } start - first Byte to trim len - number of Bytes to trim from start minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs block size. It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the arguments will set itself as follows: start = 0; len = ULLONG_MAX; minlen = 0; So it will trim the whole file system at one run. After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage space has been really released for wear-leveling.

2010-10-27fasync: re-organize fasync entry insertion to allow it under a spinlockLinus Torvalds1-0/+5
You currently cannot use "fasync_helper()" in an atomic environment to insert a new fasync entry, because it will need to allocate the new "struct fasync_struct". Yet fcntl_setlease() wants to call this under lock_flocks(), which is in the process of being converted from the BKL to a spinlock. In order to fix this, this abstracts out the actual fasync list insertion and the fasync allocations into functions of their own, and teaches fs/locks.c to pre-allocate the fasync_struct entry. That way the actual list insertion can happen while holding the required spinlock.

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing a 32bit value : <quote> We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does: atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks); if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files()) goto out; The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files. files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in fs/file_table.c's files_init(). n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10; files_stat.max_files = n; In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384 (0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553. This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow. </quote> Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t. get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is changed to return a long. unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not strictly needed to address Robin problem.

2010-10-26IMA: move read counter into struct inodeEric Paris1-0/+4
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however (especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to know information about the number of readers and the number of writers for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely needed. This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data. Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still be possible.

2010-10-25fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodesNick Piggin1-6/+7
Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and cacheline traffic. We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention on LRU updates. This also removes the inode_in_use list, which means we now only have one list for tracking the inode LRU status. This makes it much simpler to split out the LRU list operations under it's own lock.

If we are not tied to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock).

* 'upstream-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlbec/ocfs2: (48 commits) ocfs2: Avoid to evaluate xattr block flags again. ocfs2/cluster: Release debugfs file elapsed_time_in_ms ocfs2: Add a mount option "coherency=*" to handle cluster coherency for O_DIRECT writes. Initialize max_slots early When I tried to compile I got the following warning: fs/ocfs2/slot_map.c: In function ‘ocfs2_init_slot_info’: fs/ocfs2/slot_map.c:360: warning: ‘bytes’ may be used uninitialized in this function fs/ocfs2/slot_map.c:360: note: ‘bytes’ was declared here Compiler: gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) on Mandriva I'm not sure why this warning occurs, I think compiler don't know that variable "bytes" is initialized when it is sent by reference to ocfs2_slot_map_physical_size and it throws that ugly warning. However, a simple initialization of "bytes" variable with 0 will fix it. ocfs2: validate bg_free_bits_count after update ocfs2/cluster: Bump up dlm protocol to version 1.1 ocfs2/cluster: Show per region heartbeat elapsed time ocfs2/cluster: Add mlogs for heartbeat up/down events ocfs2/cluster: Create debugfs dir/files for each region ocfs2/cluster: Create debugfs files for live, quorum and failed region bitmaps ocfs2/cluster: Maintain bitmap of failed regions ocfs2/cluster: Maintain bitmap of quorum regions ocfs2/cluster: Track bitmap of live heartbeat regions ocfs2/cluster: Track number of global heartbeat regions ocfs2/cluster: Maintain live node bitmap per heartbeat region ocfs2/cluster: Reorganize o2hb debugfs init ocfs2/cluster: Check slots for unconfigured live nodes ocfs2/cluster: Print messages when adding/removing nodes ocfs2/cluster: Print messages when adding/removing heartbeat regions ...
