* | simplify checks for I_CLEAR/I_FREEINGAl Viro2010-08-09
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either; it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING. I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* mm: add context argument to shrinker callbackDave Chinner2010-07-19

* dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories. Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas can use to fill in ->open. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime. Getting the lock in mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first. This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock region. This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.

* vfs: optimization for touch_atime()Andi Kleen2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for IO intensive workloads. Most likely that's due to the lock in mnt_want_write(). Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime or relatime). Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then if that didn't succeed take the lock. That works because none of the atime avoidance tests rely on locking. This also eliminates a goto.

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.

* ext3/4 with synchronous writes gets wedged by PostfixAl Viro2009-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OK, that's probably the easiest way to do that, as much as I don't like it... Since iget() et.al. will not accept I_FREEING (will wait to go away and restart), and since we'd better have serialization between new/free on fs data structures anyway, we can afford simply skipping I_FREEING et.al. in insert_inode_locked(). We do that from new_inode, so it won't race with free_inode in any interesting ways and it won't race with iget (of any origin; nfsd or in case of fs corruption a lookup) since both still will wait for I_LOCK.

* splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi2009-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code. This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| * fs: avoid I_NEW inodesNick Piggin2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be on the safe side, it should be less fragile to exclude I_NEW inodes from inode list scans by default (unless there is an important reason to have them). Normally they will get excluded (eg. by zero refcount or writecount etc), however it is a bit fragile for list walkers to know exactly what parts of the inode state is set up and valid to test when in I_NEW. So along these lines, move I_NEW checks upward as well (sometimes taking I_FREEING etc checks with them too -- this shouldn't be a problem should it?)
