* fs: fs/super.c needs to include backing-dev.h for !CONFIG_BLOCKJens Axboe2010-04-29
| | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_BLOCK is set, it ends up getting backing-dev.h included. But for !CONFIG_BLOCK, it isn't so lucky. The proper thing to do is include <linux/backing-dev.h> directly from the file it's used from, so do that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* Catch filesystems lacking s_bdiJörn Engel2010-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | noop_backing_dev_info is used only as a flag to mark filesystems that don't have any backing store, like tmpfs, procfs, spufs, etc. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org> Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in __mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.

* fs: improve remount,ro vs buffercache coherencyNick Piggin2010-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro. Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev via their own mappings. These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev) and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications. So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a coherency point. The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal" block devices, including loop.

* vfs: get_sb_single() - do not pass options twiceKay Sievers2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call remount. This is needed to quite a warning that the debugfs code causes every boot.

* freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocksChristoph Hellwig2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

* freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_semChristoph Hellwig2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

* vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_tJeff Layton2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long. Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison. Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value. Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now that it's a signed value.

* writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing dataJens Axboe2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed writes. A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term, adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* Make allocation of anon devices cheaperAl Viro2009-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that for each n < start n is known to be busy. Allocation can skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns n, we can set start to n + 1. Freeing below start sets start to what we'd just freed. Of course, it still sucks if we do something like free 0 allocate allocate in a loop - still O(n^2) time. However, on saner loads it improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case behaviour.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super (due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that touch lock_super() on their own. Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super() either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super() (and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course). Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super() into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual filesystem maintainers. Exceptions: - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of affs_put_super so no need to do it twice. - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts here..

* vfs: Fix sys_sync() and fsync_super() reliability (version 4)Jan Kara2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, do_sync() called: sync_inodes(0); sync_supers(); sync_filesystems(0); sync_filesystems(1); sync_inodes(1); This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2 and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1). Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced after write_super() / sync_fs() call. The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount / remount read-only. [AV: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

Peter said: We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't particularly cares about subclass order. If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.
