2006-03-27[PATCH] knfsd: Break the hard linkage from svc_expkey to svc_exportNeilBrown
Current svc_expkey holds a pointer to the svc_export structure, so updates to that structure have to be in-place, which is a wart on the whole cache infrastruct. So we break that linkage and just do a second lookup. If this became a performance issue, it would be possible to put a direct link back in which was only used conditionally. i.e. when an object is replaced in the cache, we set a flag in the old object. When dereferencing the link from svc_expkey, if the flag is set, we drop the reference and do a fresh lookup.

2006-03-27[PATCH] knfsd: Change the store of auth_domains to not be a 'cache'NeilBrown
The 'auth_domain's are simply handles on internal data structures.

Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks at the same time.

2006-03-26[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a onceMingming Cao
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time. This is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload. I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation with current ext3. The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort basis. More description about the implementation could be found here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2 The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5 patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs. The break ups are: [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks() [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate (called via ext3_new_block()). [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks() [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call. Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench. The following numbers collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches. 1G file DIO write: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m31.275s 0m31.161s user 0m0.000s 0m0.000s sys 0m3.384s 0m0.564s 1G file DIO read: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m30.733s 0m30.624s user 0m0.000s 0m0.004s sys 0m0.748s 0m0.380s Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system time. This patch: Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call. This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

2006-03-26[PATCH] 2TB files: change type of kstatfs entriesTakashi Sato
This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust. He says: The type "sector_t" is heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an offset/handle to a block, and is subject to a supposedly block-specific configuration option: CONFIG_LBD. Despite this, it is used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of bytes on the stack whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs(). So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD is disabled. - struct kstatfs Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64. f_blocks f_bfree f_bavail f_files f_ffree Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Sato <sho@tnes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-26[PATCH] 2TB files: st_blocks is invalid when calling stat64Takashi Sato
This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture. o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits. The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has the same problem. o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an invalid block number to disk inode. The cause is the same as above too. o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from i_blocks via inode_get_bytes(). If the file is over 2TB, the change of usage is less than expected. The cause is the same as above too. o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with CONFIG_LBD disabled. [PATCH 3/3] We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem and a large file. It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB file returned invalid st_blocks".

2006-03-26[PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs supportCorey Minyard
Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper bus and device support. It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory. If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have pointers to each interface device that connects to it. The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later. This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

2006-03-26[PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structureBjorn Helgaas
Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep physical addresses in struct efi. This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap() on a virtual address on ia64. This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2 except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses. Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000 systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added for ia64.

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from get_user_pages() and does something like kmap_atomic(page) modify page kunmap_atomic(page) However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the kernel has modified.

2006-03-26[PATCH] protect remove_proc_entrySteven Rostedt
It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing of entries in the proc file system that are siblings. There's no protection around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same subdirectory. This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL. So the BKL was at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry may be called with spinlocks held. The BKL may schedule, so this was not a solution. The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list, called proc_subdir_lock. This lock now protects the list in remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this list is modified and added this protection there too. Care must be taken since these locations call several functions that may also schedule. Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of the spin lock was _not_ used.
