| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | page migration currently simply retries a couple of times if try_to_unmap() fails without inspecting the return code. However, SWAP_FAIL indicates that the page is in a vma that has the VM_LOCKED flag set (if ignore_refs ==1).

(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC) <quotation> Andrew Morton writes, If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state forever. </quotation> So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO. Trond, could you please review the nfs part? Especially I'm not sure, nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code with fatfs. - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error. Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some blocks. So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate(). - Add generic_cont_expand_simple(). The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte. And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the added generic_cont_expand_simple().

* [PATCH] mm: split page table lockHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

* [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*Al Viro2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

It does the following things: - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code. - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti. Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code, located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds) Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too. All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard spin/rwlock lockups. The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now lives in the generic headers: include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16 I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files, making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is: SMP | UP ----------------------------|----------------------------------- asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h /* * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files: * * on SMP builds: * * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the * initializers * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel * implementations, mostly inline assembly code * * (also included on UP-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. * * on UP builds: * * linux/spinlock_type_up.h: * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type. * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds) * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * linux/spinlock_up.h: * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP * builds.

Doing so avoids some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT expect any new issues to arise with them. If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW (load and clear word).

* [PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()Anton Altaparmakov2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery. It calls the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has buffer_new set). The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break from this loop and go into recovery code. This code has this comment: /* Error case: */ /* * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale * data. If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly * allocated in the above loop. */ So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated and hence not zeroed buffers. However the code recognises allocated buffers by checking for buffer_new being set. Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during error recovery and old data will be leaked. The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in __block_prepare_write(). We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of __block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning "success" from __block_prepare_write().

* [PATCH] block_read_full_page() get_block() error handling fixAndrew Morton2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If block_read_full_page() detects an error when running get_block() it will run SetPageError(), then it will zero out the block in pagecache and will mark the buffer_head uptodate. So at the end of readahead we end up with a non-uptodate pagecache page which is marked PageError. But it has uptodate buffers. The pagefault code will run ClearPageError, will launch readpage a second time and block_read_full_page() will notice the uptodate buffers and will mark the page uptodate as well. We end up with an uptodate, !PageError page full of zeros and the error is lost. (It seems a little odd that filemap_nopage() runs ClearPageError(). I guess all of this adds up to meaning that for each attempted access to the page, the pagefault handler will retry the I/O. Which is good and bad. If the app is ignoring SIGBUS for some reason we could get a lot of back-to-back I/O errors.) Fix it by not marking the pagecache buffer_head as uptodate if the attempt to map that buffer to a disk block failed.

* [PATCH] __block_write_full_page race fixNick Piggin2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2 on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would very quickly hit BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh)); in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh at a time. What would happen is the following: 2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page. Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page. Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers. Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page. Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers. => both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write, end_page_writeback is called. Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page. Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that. Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer. => oops. So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last request.
