| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For filesystems with a blocksize < page size, we can merge same page calls into the bio_vec at the end of the bio.

* | [PATCH] knfsd: reduce stack consumptionNeil Brown2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A typical nfsd call trace is nfsd -> svc_process -> nfsd_dispatch -> nfsd3_proc_write -> nfsd_write ->nfsd_vfs_write -> vfs_writev These add up to over 300 bytes on the stack. Looking at each of these, I see that nfsd_write (which includes nfsd_vfs_write) contributes 0x8c to stack usage itself!! It turns out this is because it puts a 'struct iattr' on the stack so it can kill suid if needed. The following patch saves about 50 bytes off the stack in this call path.

* | [PATCH] knfsd: check error status from vfs_getattr and i_op->fsyncDavid Shaw2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both vfs_getattr and i_op->fsync return error statuses which nfsd was largely ignoring. This as noticed when exporting directories using fuse. This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines. There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status either.

* | [PATCH] jbd: split checkpoint listsJan Kara2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously invalid types were quietly changed to regular files, but at revalidation the inode was changed to bad.

Previously it was possible that reqests with zero data were sent, and hence the read/write didn't make any progress, resulting in an infinite (though interruptible) loop.

* | [PATCH] fuse: make maximum write data configurableMiklos Szeredi2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the maximum size of write data configurable by the filesystem. The previous fixed 4096 limit only worked on architectures where the page size is less or equal to this. This change make writing work on other architectures too, and also lets the filesystem receive bigger write requests in direct_io mode. Normal writes which go through the page cache are still limited to a page sized chunk per request.

* | [PATCH] fuse: clean up request size limit checkingMiklos Szeredi2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the way a too large request is handled. Until now in this case the device read returned -EINVAL and the operation returned -EIO. Make it more flexibible by not returning -EINVAL from the read, but restarting it instead. Also remove the fixed limit on setxattr data and let the filesystem provide as large a read buffer as it needs to handle the extended attribute data. The symbolic link length is already checked by VFS to be less than PATH_MAX, so the extra check against FUSE_SYMLINK_MAX is not needed. The check in fuse_create_open() against FUSE_NAME_MAX is not needed, since the dentry has already been looked up, and hence the name already checked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for caching negative dentries. Up till now, ->d_revalidate() always forced a new lookup on these. Now let the lookup method return a zero node ID (not used for anything else) meaning a negative entry, but with a positive cache timeout. The old way of signaling negative entry (replying ENOENT) still works. Userspace should check the ABI minor version to see whether sending a zero ID is allowed by the kernel or not.

* | [PATCH] NOMMU: Provide shared-writable mmap support on ramfsDavid Howells2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by: (1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as happens when: fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...): ftruncate(fd, size_requested); addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, offset); (2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way. (3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared mappings (private mappings are copied). Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels, with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable filesystems.

* | [PATCH] Hugetlb: Copy on Write supportDavid Gibson2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be supported. This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more applications. The patch makes the following changes. If needed, I also have it broken out according to the following paragraphs. 1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW later. 2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following situations: - copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written to. - find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the page cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however. 3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy. 4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps will be allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED mapping check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>

Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.
