* [GFS2] Change some allocations to GFP_NOFSSteven Whitehouse2006-07-27
| | | | | | | Some allocations in rgrp.c should have been GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Use a bio to read the superblockSteven Whitehouse2006-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | This means that we don't need to create a special inode just to contain a struct address_space in order to read a single disk block. Instead we read the disk block directly. Its slightly faster, and uses slightly less memory, but the real reason for doing this is that it removes a special case from the glock code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | The loop in grant_after_purge is intended to find all rsb's in each hash bucket that have the LOCKS_PURGED flag set.

* [GFS2] Alter direct I/O pathSteven Whitehouse2006-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | As per comments received, alter the GFS2 direct I/O path so that it uses the standard read functions "out of the box". Needs a small change to one of the VFS functions. This reduces the size of the code quite a lot and also removes the need for one new export. Some more work remains to be done, but this is the bones of the thing.

This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list.

If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore. The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can still acquire another down_read. Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of using something more complex like RCU.

| * | | | [PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data ↵Shailabh Nagar2006-07-15

One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for that and avoid the multicast). As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats structures.

Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

| * | | | [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: taskstats interfaceShailabh Nagar2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay accounting. This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.
