2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: move the concurrent tree accesses checks per superblockFrederic Weisbecker
When do_balance() balances the tree, a trick is performed to provide the ability for other tree writers/readers to check whether do_balance() is executing concurrently (requires CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK). This is done to protect concurrent accesses to the tree. The trick is the following: When do_balance is called, a unique global variable called cur_tb takes a pointer to the current tree to be rebalanced. Once do_balance finishes its work, cur_tb takes the NULL value. Then, concurrent tree readers/writers just have to check the value of cur_tb to ensure do_balance isn't executing concurrently. If it is, then it proves that schedule() occured on do_balance(), which then relaxed the bkl that protected the tree. Now that the bkl has be turned into a mutex, this check is still fine even though do_balance() becomes preemptible: the write lock will not be automatically released on schedule(), so the tree is still protected. But this is only fine if we have a single reiserfs mountpoint. Indeed, because the bkl is a global lock, it didn't allowed concurrent executions between a tree reader/writer in a mount point and a do_balance() on another tree from another mountpoint. So assuming all these readers/writers weren't supposed to be reentrant, the current check now sometimes detect false positives with the current per-superblock mutex which allows this reentrancy. This patch keeps the concurrent tree accesses check but moves it per superblock, so that only trees from a same mount point are checked to be not accessed concurrently.

2009-09-14kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: release the write lock inside get_neighbors()Frederic Weisbecker
get_neighbors() is used to get the left and/or right blocks against a given one in order to balance a tree. sb_bread() is used to read the buffer of these neighors blocks and while it waits for this operation, it might sleep. The bkl was released at this point, and then we can also release the write lock before calling sb_bread(). This is safe because if the filesystem is changed after this lock release, the function returns REPEAT_SEARCH (aka SCHEDULE_OCCURRED in the function header comments) in order to repeat the neighbhor research.

2009-09-14reiserfs: kill-the-BKLFrederic Weisbecker
This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from reiserfs and is intended. It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from concurrent write accesses on the filesystem. Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl: - It can be acqquired recursively by a same task - It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex. - We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks of the code. - We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed (schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and reacquire our new lock explicitly. Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected starvations or deadlocks. So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the bkl. For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the superblock information structure. The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers. The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(), wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some. Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue (aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads. The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks. This is fine with the bkl: T1 T2 lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) unlock_kernel() // do something lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() (and then unlock_kernel()) lock_kernel() mutex_unlock(A) .... This is not fine with a mutex: T1 T2 mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) mutex_unlock(write) // do something mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2 deadlock The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another simulation of the bkl behaviour. The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held, according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking. Those are: - reiserfs_remount - reiserfs_fill_super - reiserfs_put_super Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks. But now we must take care of that with the new locking. After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now). On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

This patch cleans up some redundancies in the reiserfs tree path code. decrement_bcount() is essentially the same function as brelse(), so we use that instead. decrement_counters_in_path() is exactly the same function as pathrelse(), so we kill that and use pathrelse() instead.

2009-03-30reiserfs: rework reiserfs_panicJeff Mahoney
ReiserFS panics can be somewhat inconsistent. In some cases: * a unique identifier may be associated with it * the function name may be included * the device may be printed separately This patch aims to make warnings more consistent. reiserfs_warning() prints the device name, so printing it a second time is not required. The function name for a warning is always helpful in debugging, so it is now automatically inserted into the output. Hans has stated that every warning should have a unique identifier. Some cases lack them, others really shouldn't have them. reiserfs_warning() now expects an id associated with each message. In the rare case where one isn't needed, "" will suffice.

2005-10-28[PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*Al Viro
- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

2005-07-12reiserfs: run scripts/Lindent on reiserfs codeLinus Torvalds
This was a pure indentation change, using: scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style. As Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes: The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined in Documentation/CodingStyle. This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*. A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent with the Linux coding style. Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he wouldn't really oppose them either. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
