* [PATCH] export ufs_fs.h to userspaceMike Frysinger2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Was ufs_fs.h purposefully not exported to userspace or did it just slip through the cracks ? assuming the latter scenario, the attached patch touches up the relationship between ufs_fs.h and its sub headers (like ufs_fs_sb.h) so that we can export it ... the silo bootloader takes advantage of this header for example.

* [PATCH] FS: speed up rw_verify_area()Eric Dumazet2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | oprofile hunting showed a stall in rw_verify_area(), because of triple indirection and potential cache misses. (file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_flock) By moving initialization of 'struct inode' pointer before the pos/count sanity tests, we allow the compiler and processor to perform two loads by anticipation, reducing stall, without prefetch() hints. Even x86 arch has enough registers to not use temporary variables and not increase text size. I validated this patch running a bench and studied oprofile changes, and absolute perf of the test program. Results of my epoll_pipe_bench (source available on request) on a Pentium-M 1.6 GHz machine Before : # ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20 Avg: 436089 evts/sec read_count=8843037 write_count=8843040 21.218390 samples per call (best value out of 10 runs) After : # ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20 Avg: 470980 evts/sec read_count=9549871 write_count=9549894 21.216694 samples per call (best value out of 10 runs) oprofile CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events gave a reduction from 5.3401 % to 2.5851 % for the rw_verify_area() function.

* [PATCH] ipc: save the ipc namespace while reading proc filesEric W. Biederman2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open. Given that this can change with both unshare and by passing the file descriptor to another process that assumption is occasionally wrong. Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace and increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the count when we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with no surprises.

* [PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messagesAlan Cox2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging spew when the types clash. Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right thing and work sanely. For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

* [PATCH] inotify: read return val fixNick Piggin2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix for inotify read bug (bugzilla.kernel.org #6999) Problem Description: When reading from an inotify device with an insufficient sized buffer, read(2) will return 0 with no errno set. This is because of an logically incorrect action from the user program thus should return an more logical value. My suggestion is return -EINVAL as for bind(2). This patch is based on the proposal from Ryan <wolf0403@hotmail.com>, and feedback from John McCutchan <john@johnmccutchan.com>. Return -EINVAL if we have not passed in enough buffer space to read a single inotify event, rather than 0 which indicates that there is nothing to read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Iterate over sb->s_inodes instead of sb->s_files in add_dquot_ref. This reduces list search and lock hold time aswell as getting rid of one of the few uses of file_list_lock which Ingo identified as a scalability problem. Previously we called dq_op->initialize for every inode handing of a writeable file that wasn't initialized before. Now we're calling it for every inode that has a non-zero i_writecount, aka a writeable file descriptor refering to it. Thanks a lot to Jan Kara for running this patch through his quota test harness.

* [PATCH] Fix d_path for lazy unmountsAndreas Gruenbacher2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a bugfix to d_path. First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name. It gets this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the following pathname component. This is demonstrated by the attached test case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug. The correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir". It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of the result of d_path in the first place. On the other hand, what the unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints to users, and so that seems okay. Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths. The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping pathname components. It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd(). Grabbing the dcache_lock can then also be moved into __d_path(). The patch also makes sure that paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the root and rootmnt. The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames. This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

* [PATCH] Make BH_Unwritten a first class bufferhead flag V2David Chinner2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See here for a full explaination: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s), and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest. Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to discard_buffer(): http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html The following patch makes BH_Unwritten a first class citizen.

* cfq-iosched: improve continue or break logic in cfq_dispatchJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | This improves performance considerably for sync requests when you have command queuing enabled. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: remove the implicit queue kicking in slice expireJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | We only really need it for a process going away, so move it to those locations. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: check whether a queue timed out in accountingJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | Makes it more fair for the residual slice count. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: tweak the FIFO checkingJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | We currently check the FIFO once per slice. Optimize that a bit and only do it as the first thing for a new slice, so we don't end up doing a single request and then seek to the FIFO requests. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: don't pass in queue for cfq_arm_slice_timer()Jens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | It must always be the active queue, otherwise it's a bug. So just use the active_queue, don't pass it in explicitly. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: account for slice over/under timeJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | If a slice uses less than it is entitled to (or perhaps more), include that in the decision on how much time to give it the next time it gets serviced. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: defer slice activation to first request being activeJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | This better matches what time the queue is actually spending doing IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: use last service point as the fairness criteriaJens Axboe2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | Right now we use slice_start, which gives async queues an unfair advantage. Chance that to service_last, and base the resorter on that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
