2009-09-16writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()Jens Axboe
We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it. So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will always persist. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writebackJens Axboe
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-16writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_listJens Axboe

2009-09-15Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /devKay Sievers
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

2009-09-14vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or ↵Jan Kara
IS_SYNC inode Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function. Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire it before it returns.

generic_file_buffered_write() generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() called generic_osync_inode() if it was called on O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode. But this is superfluous since generic_file_aio_write() does the syncing as well. Also XFS and OCFS2 which call these functions directly handle syncing themselves. So let's have a single place where syncing happens: generic_file_aio_write(). We slightly change the behavior by syncing only the range of file to which the write happened for buffered writes but that should be all that is required.

2009-09-14block: use blkdev_issue_discard in blk_ioctl_discardChristoph Hellwig
blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard, the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one, and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request. To facilitates this add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the behaviour. This will be very useful later on for using the waiting funcitonality for other callers.

2009-09-11writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing dataJens Axboe
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so.

In an ideal world your kmemleak output will be small, when its not (usually during initial bootup) you can use the clear command to ingore previously reported and unreferenced kmemleak objects. We do this by painting all currently reported unreferenced objects grey. We paint them grey instead of black to allow future scans on the same objects as such objects could still potentially reference newly allocated objects in the future. To test a critical section on demand with a clean /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak you can do: echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak test your kernel or modules echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Then as usual to get your report with: cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-09-08kmemleak: Do no create the clean-up thread during kmemleak_disable()Catalin Marinas
The kmemleak_disable() function could be called from various contexts including IRQ. It creates a clean-up thread but the kthread_create() function has restrictions on which contexts it can be called from, mainly because of the kthread_create_lock. The patch changes the kmemleak clean-up thread to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2009-09-05page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is ↵Mel Gorman
disabled On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call to __rmqueue_fallback(). However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot. This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being prematurely broken up. This is a fix to commit 49255c619fbd482d704289b5eb2795f8e3b7ff2e [page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

2009-09-05nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff()David Howells
Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff(). If do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree. To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a transient region.

2009-08-31mm: remove !NUMA condition from PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED condition setH. Peter Anvin
CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED disables a trick to conserve pageflags. This trick is indended to be enabled when the pressure on page flags is very high. The previous condition was: - depends on 64BIT || SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP || !NUMA || !SPARSEMEM ... however, the sparsemem code already has a way to crowd out the node number from the pageflags, which means that !NUMA actually doesn't contribute to hard pageflags exhaustion. This is required for the new PG_uncached flag to not cause pageflags exhaustion on x86_32 + PAE + SPARSEMEM + !NUMA. Signed-off-by: H.
