| * JFS: Fix race waking up jfsIO kernel threadDave Kleikamp2007-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for a journal I/O request to be added to the log_redrive queue and the jfsIO thread to be awakened after the thread releases log_redrive_lock but before it sets its state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. The jfsIO thread should set the state before giving up the spinlock, so the waking thread will really wake it. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>

| * Copy i_flags to jfs inode flags on writeDave Kleikamp2007-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mirrors Jan Kara's patches for ext3. This patch makes sure that changes made to inode->i_flags are reflected on disk for jfs. It also moves a call of jfs_set_inode_flags() to be more consistent with where jfs_get_inode_flags() is called. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* | slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data.

* JFS: Remove incorrect kgdb defineDave Kleikamp2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | jfs_debug.h uses an incorrect CONFIG_KERNEL_ASSERT ifdef to redefine the assert macro for kgdb use. I believe the code worked a long time ago, but today it's not a valid config option. Since I'm not aware of anybody interested in debugging jfs with kgdb, it should just be removed.

* JFS: call io_schedule() instead of schedule() to avoid deadlockDave Kleikamp2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | The introduction of Jens Axboe's explicit i/o plugging patches introduced a deadlock in jfs. This was caused by the process initiating I/O not unplugging the queue before waiting on the commit thread. The commit thread itself was waiting for that I/O to complete. Calling io_schedule() rather than schedule() unplugs the I/O queue avoiding the deadlock, and it appears to be the right function to call in any case.

* [PATCH] Fix JFS after clear_page_dirty() removalDave Kleikamp2006-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes some questionable code that attempted to make a no-longer-used page easier to reclaim. Calling metapage_writepage against such a page will not result in any I/O being performed, so removing this code shouldn't be a big deal. [ It's likely that we could have just replaced the "clear_page_dirty()" call with a call to "cancel_dirty_page()" instead, but in the meantime this is cleaner and simpler anyway, so unless there is some overriding reason (and Dave implies there isn't) I'll just use this patch as-is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
