* [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocksMingming Cao2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed, before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to allocate. This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of the inode's reservation window.

* [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: support multiple blocks allocation in ext3_new_block()Mingming Cao2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks at the same time.

* [PATCH] ext3: Properly report backup block present in a groupGlauber de Oliveira Costa2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb() fails to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group descriptor backups in a given group. It happens because meta_bg follows a different logic from the original ext3 backup placement in groups multiples of 3, 5 and 7.

* [PATCH] Locking problems while EXT3FS_DEBUG onGlauber de Oliveira Costa2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on. More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem. Some investigation took me to the patch that follows. At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super. The only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway. I also took the opportunity to fix 2 spelling errors. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latenciesMingming Cao2005-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap to verify if the avalible window has a free block. Holding the lock during bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and latency issues. This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the bitmap. Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone else is targetting at the same window. Question was should we reserve the whole free reservable space or just the window size we need. Reserve the whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause bad layout). In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop the lock and scan the block bitmap. This patch fixed a ext3 reservation latency issue seen on a cvs check out test. Patch is tested with many fsx, tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
