2008-01-30spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

2008-01-28jbd2: jbd2 stats through procfsJohann Lombardi
The patch below updates the jbd stats patch to 2.6.20/jbd2. The initial patch was posted by Alex Tomas in December 2005 (http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=113538565128617&w=2). It provides statistics via procfs such as transaction lifetime and size. Sometimes, investigating performance problems, i find useful to have stats from jbd about transaction's lifetime, size, etc. here is a patch for review and inclusion probably. for example, stats after creation of 3M files in htree directory: [root@bob ~]# cat /proc/fs/jbd/sda/history R/C tid wait run lock flush log hndls block inlog ctime write drop close R 261 8260 2720 0 0 750 9892 8170 8187 C 259 750 0 4885 1 R 262 20 2200 10 0 770 9836 8170 8187 R 263 30 2200 10 0 3070 9812 8170 8187 R 264 0 5000 10 0 1340 0 0 0 C 261 8240 3212 4957 0 R 265 8260 1470 0 0 4640 9854 8170 8187 R 266 0 5000 10 0 1460 0 0 0 C 262 8210 2989 4868 0 R 267 8230 1490 10 0 4440 9875 8171 8188 R 268 0 5000 10 0 1260 0 0 0 C 263 7710 2937 4908 0 R 269 7730 1470 10 0 3330 9841 8170 8187 R 270 0 5000 10 0 830 0 0 0 C 265 8140 3234 4898 0 C 267 720 0 4849 1 R 271 8630 2740 20 0 740 9819 8170 8187 C 269 800 0 4214 1 R 272 40 2170 10 0 830 9716 8170 8187 R 273 40 2280 0 0 3530 9799 8170 8187 R 274 0 5000 10 0 990 0 0 0 where, R - line for transaction's life from T_RUNNING to T_FINISHED C - line for transaction's checkpointing tid - transaction's id wait - for how long we were waiting for new transaction to start (the longest period journal_start() took in this transaction) run - real transaction's lifetime (from T_RUNNING to T_LOCKED lock - how long we were waiting for all handles to close (time the transaction was in T_LOCKED) flush - how long it took to flush all data (data=ordered) log - how long it took to write the transaction to the log hndls - how many handles got to the transaction block - how many blocks got to the transaction inlog - how many blocks are written to the log (block + descriptors) ctime - how long it took to checkpoint the transaction write - how many blocks have been written during checkpointing drop - how many blocks have been dropped during checkpointing close - how many running transactions have been closed to checkpoint this one all times are in msec.

2008-01-28jbd2: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd2/checkpoint.cJan Kara
Before we start committing a transaction, we call __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back buffers. If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :). We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction can get to T_FINISHED state. Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary - checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a transaction must be already committed to be processed or from __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something changes in future... Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
