This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-28[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stackAndi Kleen
Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

2006-03-28[PATCH] Small fixes backported to old IDE SiS driverAlan Cox
Some quick backport bits from the libata PATA work to fix things found in the sis driver. The piix driver needs some fixes too but those are way to large and need someone working on old IDE with time to do them. This patch fixes the case where random bits get loaded into SIS timing registers according to the description of the correct behaviour from Vojtech Pavlik. It also adds the SiS5517 ATA16 chipset which is not currently supported by the driver. Thanks to Conrad Harriss for loaning me the machine with the 5517 chipset.

Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain fairness across priority groups. In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much slice time.

This allows user-space to access data safely. This is needed for raid5 reshape as user-space needs to take a backup of the first few stripes before allowing reshape to commence. It will also be useful in cluster-aware raid1 configurations so that all cluster members can leave a section of the array untouched while a resync/recovery happens.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Checkpoint and allow restart of raid5 reshapeNeilBrown
We allow the superblock to record an 'old' and a 'new' geometry, and a position where any conversion is up to. The geometry allows for changing chunksize, layout and level as well as number of devices. When using verion-0.90 superblock, we convert the version to 0.91 while the conversion is happening so that an old kernel will refuse the assemble the array. For version-1, we use a feature bit for the same effect. When starting an array we check for an incomplete reshape and restart the reshape process if needed. If the reshape stopped at an awkward time (like when updating the first stripe) we refuse to assemble the array, and let user-space worry about it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Core of raid5 resize processNeilBrown
This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process. sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly. It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING. Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE. This causes stripe_handle to read all blocks on those stripes. Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head. Once a STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then is written out and released.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Infrastructure to allow normal IO to continue while array is ↵NeilBrown
expanding We need to allow that different stripes are of different effective sizes, and use the appropriate size. Also, when a stripe is being expanded, we must block any IO attempts until the stripe is stable again. Key elements in this change are: - each stripe_head gets a 'disk' field which is part of the key, thus there can sometimes be two stripe heads of the same area of the array, but covering different numbers of devices. One of these will be marked STRIPE_EXPANDING and so won't accept new requests. - conf->expand_progress tracks how the expansion is progressing and is used to determine whether the target part of the array has been expanded yet or not.

2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an arrayNeilBrown
Before a RAID-5 can be expanded, we need to be able to expand the stripe-cache data structure. This requires allocating new stripes in a new kmem_cache. If this succeeds, we copy cache pages over and release the old stripes and kmem_cache. We then allocate new pages. If that fails, we leave the stripe cache at it's new size. It isn't worth the effort to shrink it back again. Unfortuanately this means we need two kmem_cache names as we, for a short period of time, we have two kmem_caches. So they are raid5/%s and raid5/%s-alt Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-27[PATCH] md: Split disks array out of raid5 conf structure so it is easier to ↵NeilBrown
grow The remainder of this batch implements raid5 reshaping. Currently the only shape change that is supported is added a device, but it is envisioned that changing the chunksize and layout will also be supported, as well as changing the level (e.g. 1->5, 5->6). The reshape process naturally has to move all of the data in the array, and so should be used with caution. It is believed to work, and some testing does support this, but wider testing would be great for increasing my confidence. You will need a version of mdadm newer than 2.3.1 to make use of raid5 growth. This is because mdadm need to take a copy of a 'critical section' at the start of the array incase there is a crash at an awkward moment. On restart, mdadm will restore the critical section and allow reshape to continue. I hope to release a 2.4-pre by early next week - it still needs a little more polishing. This patch: Previously the array of disk information was included in the raid5 'conf' structure which was allocated to an appropriate size. This makes it awkward to change the size of that array. So we split it off into a separate kmalloced array which will require a little extra indexing, but is much easier to grow.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

2006-03-27[PATCH] unify PFN_* macrosDave Hansen
Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns. They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them. One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new definitions in a new, isolated header. Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit. It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and the development list. Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

2006-03-27[PATCH] uninline zone helpersKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Helper functions for for_each_online_pgdat/for_each_zone look too big to be inlined. Speed of these helper macro itself is not very important. (inner loops are tend to do more work than this) This patch make helper function to be out-of-lined. inline out-of-line .text 005c0680 005bf6a0 005c0680 - 005bf6a0 = FE0 = 4Kbytes.

2006-03-27[PATCH] for_each_online_pgdat: for_each_bootmemKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Add a list_head to bootmem_data_t and make bootmems use it. bootmem list is sorted by node_boot_start. Only nodes against which init_bootmem() is called are linked to the list. (i386 allocates bootmem only from one node(0) not from all online nodes.) A summary: 1. for_each_online_pgdat() traverses all *online* nodes. 2. alloc_bootmem() allocates memory only from initialized-for-bootmem nodes.

2006-03-27[PATCH] define for_each_online_pgdatKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch defines for_each_online_pgdat() as a replacement of for_each_pgdat() Now, online nodes are managed by node_online_map. But for_each_pgdat() uses pgdat_link to iterate over all nodes(pgdat). This means management structure for online pgdat is duplicated. I think using node_online_map for for_each_pgdat() is simple and sane rather ather than pgdat_link. New macro is named as for_each_online_pgdat(). Following patch will fix callers of for_each_pgdat(). The bootmem allocater uses for_each_pgdat() before pgdat initialization. I don't think it's sane. Following patch will fix it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] remove zone_mem_mapKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch removes zone_mem_map. pfn_to_page uses pgdat, page_to_pfn uses zone. page_to_pfn can use pgdat instead of zone, which is only one user of zone_mem_map. By modifing it, we can remove zone_mem_map.

2006-03-27[PATCH] unify pfn_to_page: generic functionsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
There are 3 memory models, FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM, SPARSEMEM. Each arch has its own page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() for each models. But most of them can use the same arithmetic. This patch adds asm-generic/memory_model.h, which includes generic page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() definitions for each memory model. When CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE=y, out-of-line functions are used instead of macro. This is enabled by some archs and reduces text size.
