* [XFS] There are a few problems with the newMandy Kirkconnell2006-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() wrapper function that I introduced in mod xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a. The function was added as a wrapper around xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() to avoid breaking the top-of-tree CXFS interface. The idea of the function was basically to extract the target extent buffer (if muli- level extent allocation mode), then call xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() with either a pointer to the first extent in the target buffer or a pointer to the first extent in the file, depending on which extent mode was being used. However, in addition to locating the target extent record for block bno, xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() also sets four parameters needed by the caller: *lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp. Passing only the target extent buffer to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() causes *eofp to be set incorrectly if the extent is at the end of the target list but there are actually more extents in the next er_extbuf. Likewise, if the extent is the first one in the buffer but NOT the first in the file, *prevp is incorrectly set to NULL. Adding the needed functionality to xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() to re-set any incorrectly set fields is redundant and makes the call to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() not make much sense when multi-level extent allocation mode is being used. This mod basically extracts the two functional components from xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(), with the intent of obsoleting/removing xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() after the CXFS mult-level in-core extent changes are checked in. The two components are: 1) The binary search to locate the target extent record, and 2) Setting the four parameters needed by the caller (*lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp). Component 1: I created a new function in xfs_inode.c called xfs_iext_bno_to_ext(), which executes the binary search to find the target extent record. xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() has been modified to call xfs_iext_bno_to_ext() rather than xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(). Component 2: The parameter setting functionality has been added to xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents(), eliminating the need for xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(). These changes make the removal of xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() trival once the CXFS changes are in place. They also allow us to maintain the current XFS interface, using the new search function introduced in mod xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a.

* [XFS] 929045 567344 This mod introduces multi-level in-core file extentMandy Kirkconnell2006-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functionality, building upon the new layout introduced in mod xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a. The new multi-level extent allocations are only required for heavily fragmented files, so the old-style linear extent list is used on files until the extents reach a pre-determined size of 4k. 4k buffers are used because this is the system page size on Linux i386 and systems with larger page sizes don't seem to gain much, if anything, by using their native page size as the extent buffer size. Also, using 4k extent buffers everywhere provides a consistent interface for CXFS across different platforms. The 4k extent buffers are managed by an indirection array (xfs_ext_irec_t) which is basically just a pointer array with a bit of extra information to keep track of the number of extents in each buffer as well as the extent offset of each buffer. Major changes include: - Add multi-level in-core file extent functionality to the xfs_iext_ subroutines introduced in mod: xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a - Introduce 13 new subroutines which add functionality for multi-level in-core file extents: xfs_iext_add_indirect_multi() xfs_iext_remove_indirect() xfs_iext_realloc_indirect() xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() xfs_iext_bno_to_irec() xfs_iext_idx_to_irec() xfs_iext_irec_init() xfs_iext_irec_new() xfs_iext_irec_remove() xfs_iext_irec_compact() xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() xfs_iext_irec_update_extoffs() SGI-PV: 928864 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:207393a Signed-off-by: Mandy Kirkconnell <alkirkco@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>

* [PATCH] fix file countingDipankar Sarma2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc. The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up with a very fragmented slab - llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 587730 0 758844 At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following patch I fixes this problem. This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock. Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user. Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug in udf where it would write uid/gid = 0 to the disk for files owned by the id given with the uid=/gid= mount options. It also adds 4 new mount options: uid/gid=forget and uid/gid=ignore. Without any options the id in core and on disk always match. Giving uid/gid=nnn specifies a default ID to be used in core when the on disk ID is -1. uid/gid=ignore forces the in core ID to allways be used no matter what the on disk ID is. uid/gid=forget forces the on disk ID to always be written out as -1. The use of these options allows you to override ownerships on a disk or disable ownwership information from being written, allowing the media to be used portably between different computers and possibly different users without permissions issues that would require root to correct.
