| * writeback: check for registered bdi in flusher add and inode dirtyJens Axboe2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also a debugging aid. We want to catch dirty inodes being added to backing devices that don't do writeback. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
| * writeback: add name to backing_dev_infoJens Axboe2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables us to track who does what and print info. Its main use is catching dirty inodes on the default_backing_dev_info, so we can fix that up. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| * writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing dataJens Axboe2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. 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. Random buffered writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed writes. A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term, adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
| * writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_infoJens Axboe2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question. Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds two new exported functions: - writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout. - sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block and also waits for the IO to complete.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't initialized yet. However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries. lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot happen. A write access to some random memory region is the result. Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early.

If another thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using pmd_free(). On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(), which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates. Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock. The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in the suspend process checksums for the XPRAM partitions are created and stored. During the resume process it is checked, if the checksums are still the same. If this is not the case, a kernel panic is triggered. Unfortunately this prevents XPRAM from beeing used as suspend device, because in this case after the checksum has been created, the memory image is written to XPRAM and therefore the contents of the suspend partition is changed. In order to allow XPRAM to be used as suspend device, this patch removes the checksum validation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that this patch moves .data.init_task inside _edata. In addition, the alignment of .init.ramfs changes: It is now PAGE_ALIGNED and __initramfs_end is arbitrarily aligned; Previously it was only aligned to a 0x100-byte boundary, and always ended on an even byte. This change results in fewer output sections and in some data being reordered, but should have no functional effect.

| * | [S390] Use macros for .data.page_aligned.Tim Abbott2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | .data.page_aligned should not need a separate output section, so as part of this cleanup I moved into the .data output section in the linker scripts in order to eliminate unnecessary references to the section name. Remove the reference to .data.idt, since nothing is put into the .data.idt section on the s390 architecture. It looks like Cyrill Gorcunov posted a patch to remove the .data.idt code on s390 previously: <http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.2/2536.html> CCing him and the people who acked that patch in case there's a reason it wasn't applied.

| * | [S390] move (io|sysc)_restore_trace_psw into .data sectionHendrik Brueckner2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sysc_restore_trace_psw and io_restore_trace_psw storage locations are created in the .text section. When creating and IPLing from a named saved system (NSS), writing to these locations causes a protection exception (because the .text section is mapped as shared read-only in the NSS). To permit write access, move the storage locations into the .data section. The problem occurs only when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is set.

If scpdata starts with the equal sign (=), the kernel boot command line is replaced. (For consistency with zIPL and IPL PARM parameters.) To use scpdata for the kernel boot command line, scpdata must consist of ascii characters only. If scpdata contains other characters, scpdata is not appended to the kernel boot command line. In addition, re-IPL is extended for setting scpdata for the next Linux reboot.
