2009-06-16readahead: make mmap_miss an unsigned intWu Fengguang
This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds. Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's almost permanent performance impact.

2009-06-11fs: Remove i_cindex from struct inodeTheodore Ts'o
The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used is by the firewire drivers. As part of an attempt to slim down the inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a reduction in the size inode has high leverage. The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space in the inode structure.

2009-06-11vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)Jan Kara
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers() is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks. sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

2009-06-11fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodesEric Paris
This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes. These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached them to the inode's list. dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes it had NO interest in.

2009-05-09New helper: deactivate_locked_super()Al Viro
Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s); However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over. As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb() failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over. Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose if superblock is either safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock. Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them. b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common, so the helper makes sense anyway.

2009-04-24lockd: call locks_release_private to cleanup per-filesystem stateFelix Blyakher
For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem state is clean. This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().

2009-04-15splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi
There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code.

2009-04-06block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

2009-04-03kmemtrace, fs: uninline simple_transaction_set()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fs.h has an implicit include file depedency: it uses PAGE_SIZE but does not include asm/page.h which defines it. This problem gets masked in practice because most fs.h using sites use rcupreempt.h (and other headers) which includes percpu.h which brings in asm/page.h indirectly. We cannot add asm/page.h to asm/fs.h because page.h is not an exported header. Move simple_transaction_set() to the other simple-transaction file helpers in fs/libfs.c. This removes the include file hell and also reduces kernel size a bit.

linux/security.h Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fs.h has implicit include file depedencies: it uses GFP_* types in inlines but does not include gfp.h. In practice most fs.h using .c files get gfp.h included implicitly, via an indirect route: via rcupdate.h inclusion - so this underlying problem gets masked in practice. So we want to solve fs.h's dependency on gfp.h. gfp.h can not be included here directly because it is not exported and it would break the build the following way: /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/bsg.h:11: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h> /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/fs.h:11: included file 'linux/gfp.h' is not exported make[3]: *** [/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/.check] Error 1 make[2]: *** [linux] Error 2 As suggested by Alexey Dobriyan, move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata() to linux/security.h - they belong there.

2009-04-01filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystemsEric Sandeen
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen root filesystems may be in order. The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps something like this would be useful in emergencies. For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if you forgot that you had that unmounted. I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character). I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

2009-03-27vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.
