* [S390] System z large page support.Gerald Schaefer2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware. Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode, by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page to store page table information.

* | | NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3Chuck Lever2008-04-23

Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3". This makes NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is enabled if NFSD_V4 is. Sam Ravnborg adds: "This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select a symbol with dependencies. In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4 so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3? But I see no other clean way to do it right now." Later he said: "My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig. This is abuse in the acceptable range."

* | | SUNRPC: Remove PROC_FS dependencyChuck Lever2008-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled. Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc. It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies." To address these issues, remove the dependency. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if NFSD_V4 was enabled. There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies." A quick grep around other Kconfig files reveals that no entry currently uses "select PROC_FS" -- every one uses "depends on". Thus CONFIG_NFSD_V4 should use "depends on PROC_FS" as well.

To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be: - N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N - M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M - Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.

* ext4: Add the journal checksum featureGirish Shilamkar2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM. JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks. Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made incompat. The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the type of the checksum. For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

It uses a set of counter pairs to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details of this implementation can be found in this paper - http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf and the article- http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/ This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper). This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations and can be switched to at compiler. Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

* Ext4: Uninitialized Block GroupsAndreas Dilger2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked, regardless of whether it is in use. This is this the most time consuming part of the filesystem check. The unintialized block group feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes. With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block group. Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time. A checksum of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation. The feature is enabled through a mkfs option mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list. The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx. In performance tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem. In ext4 with the uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count. Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time for users. With performance improvement of 2-20 times, depending on how full the filesystem is. The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use. In each group descriptor if we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags: Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip the consistency check during fsck. EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags: No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap verification for this group. We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of uninitialized group patch. __le16 bg_itable_unused; /* Unused inodes count */ __le16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */ bg_itable_unused: If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused. bg_checksum: Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.

* quota: send messages via netlinkJan Kara2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement sending of quota messages via netlink interface. The advantage is that in userspace we can better decide what to do with the message - for example display a dialogue in your X session or just write the message to the console. As a bonus, we can get rid of problems with console locking deep inside filesystem code once we remove the old printing mechanism.

* Remove valueless definition of hard-selected RAMFS optionRobert P. J. Day2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since CONFIG_RAMFS is currently hard-selected to "y", and since Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt reads as follows: "The amount of code required to implement ramfs is tiny, because all the work is done by the existing Linux caching infrastructure. Basically, you're mounting the disk cache as a filesystem. Because of this, ramfs is not an optional component removable via menuconfig, since there would be negligible space savings." It seems pointless to leave this as a Kconfig entry. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J.

* allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDEDAdrian Bunk2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow disabling DNOTIFY with CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n. I'm currently running a kernel with dnotify disabled and I haven't run into any problem. Is there any popular application left that breaks without dnotify support in the kernel? Note that this patch does not remove dnotify support, it still defaults to "y", and the help text recommends enabling it.

Instead of fixing this we might as well move the jbd2-debug file to debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable. The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug.
