2009-04-07nilfs2: fix problems of memory allocation in ioctlRyusuke Konishi
This is another patch for fixing the following problems of a memory copy function in nilfs2 ioctl: (1) It tries to allocate 128KB size of memory even for small objects. (2) Though the function repeatedly tries large memory allocations while reducing the size, GFP_NOWAIT flag is not specified. This increases the possibility of system memory shortage. (3) During the retries of (2), verbose warnings are printed because _GFP_NOWARN flag is not used for the kmalloc calls. The first patch was still doing large allocations by kmalloc which are repeatedly tried while reducing the size. Andi Kleen told me that using copy_from_user for large memory is not good from the viewpoint of preempt latency: On Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:24:11 +0100, Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> wrote: > > In the current interface, each data item is copied twice: one is to > > the allocated memory from user space (via copy_from_user), and another > > For such large copies it is better to use multiple smaller (e.g. 4K) > copy user, that gives better real time preempt latencies.

He also advised me that: On Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:13:27 +0100, Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> wrote: > Better would be if you could go to PAGE_SIZE. order 0 allocations > are typically the fastest / least likely to stall. > > Also in this case it's a good idea to use __get_free_pages() > directly, kmalloc tends to be become less efficient at larger > sizes. For the function in question, the size of buffer memory can be reduced since the buffer is repeatedly used for a number of small objects. On the other hand, it may incur large preempt latencies for larger buffer because a copy_from_user (and a copy_to_user) was applied only once each cycle. With that, this revision uses the order 0 allocations with __get_free_pages() to fix the original problems.

2009-04-07nilfs2: fix missed-sync issue for do_sync_mapping_range()Ryusuke Konishi
Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in nilfs_writepages(): On Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:52:55 -0500, Chris Mason wrote: > It looks like nilfs_writepage ignores WB_SYNC_NONE, which is used by > do_sync_mapping_range(). where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit: ee53a891f47444c53318b98dac947ede963db400). This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL. This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

2009-04-07nilfs2: buffer and page operationsRyusuke Konishi
This adds common routines for buffer/page operations used in B-tree node caches, meta data files, or segment constructor (log writer). NILFS uses copy functions for buffers and pages due to the following reasons: 1) Relocation required for COW Since NILFS changes address of on-disk blocks, moving buffers in page cache is needed for the buffers which are not addressed by a file offset. If buffer size is smaller than page size, this involves partial copy of pages. 2) Freezing mmapped pages NILFS calculates checksums for each log to ensure its validity. If page data changes after the checksum calculation, this validity check will not work correctly. To avoid this failure for mmaped pages, NILFS freezes their data by copying. 3) Copy-on-write for DAT pages NILFS makes clones of DAT page caches in a copy-on-write manner during GC processes, and this ensures atomicity and consistency of the DAT in the transient state. In addition, NILFS uses two obsolete functions, nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty() and nilfs_clear_page_dirty() respectively. * nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty() was required to avoid NULL pointer dereference faults: Since the page cache of B-tree node pages or data page cache of pseudo inodes does not have a valid mapping->host, calling mark_buffer_dirty() for their buffers causes the fault; it calls __mark_inode_dirty(NULL) through __set_page_dirty(). * nilfs_clear_page_dirty() was needed in the two cases: 1) For B-tree node pages and data pages of the dat/gcdat, NILFS2 clears page dirty flags when it copies back pages from the cloned cache (gcdat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}) to its original cache (dat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}). 2) Some B-tree operations like insertion or deletion may dispose buffers in dirty state, and this needs to cancel the dirty state of their pages. clear_page_dirty_for_io() caused faults because it does not clear the dirty tag on the page cache.

This structure is attached to the super_block structure. * the_nilfs structure: keeps shared state and locks among a read/write mount and snapshot mounts. This keeps special inodes for the sufile, cpfile, dat, and another dat inode used during GC (gcdat). This also has a hash table of dummy inodes to cache disk blocks during GC (gcinodes). * nilfs_transaction_info structure: keeps per task state while nilfs is writing logs or doing indivisible inode or namespace operations. This structure is used to identify context during log making and store nest level of the lock which ensures atomicity of file system operations.

But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for.

2009-04-06jbd2: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_SYNCJens Axboe
When you are going to be submitting several sync writes, we want to give the IO scheduler a chance to merge some of them. Instead of using the implicitly unplugging WRITE_SYNC variant, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG and rely on sync_buffer() doing the unplug when someone does a wait_on_buffer()/lock_buffer().

2009-04-04Make non-compat preadv/pwritev use native register sizeLinus Torvalds
Instead of always splitting the file offset into 32-bit 'high' and 'low' parts, just split them into the largest natural word-size - which in C terms is 'unsigned long'. This allows 64-bit architectures to avoid the unnecessary 32-bit shifting and masking for native format (while the compat interfaces will obviously always have to do it). This also changes the order of 'high' and 'low' to be "low first". Why? Because when we have it like this, the 64-bit system calls now don't use the "pos_high" argument at all, and it makes more sense for the native system call to simply match the user-mode prototype. This results in a much more natural calling convention, and allows the compiler to generate much more straightforward code. On x86-64, we now generate testq %rcx, %rcx # pos_l js .L122 #, movq %rcx, -48(%rbp) # pos_l, pos from the C source loff_t pos = pos_from_hilo(pos_h, pos_l); ... if (pos < 0) return -EINVAL; and the 'pos_h' register isn't even touched. It used to generate code like mov %r8d, %r8d # pos_low, pos_low salq $32, %rcx #, tmp71 movq %r8, %rax # pos_low, pos.386 orq %rcx, %rax # tmp71, pos.386 js .L122 #, movq %rax, -48(%rbp) # pos.386, pos which isn't _that_ horrible, but it does show how the natural word size is just a more sensible interface (same arguments will hold in the user level glibc wrapper function, of course, so the kernel side is just half of the equation!) Note: in all cases the user code wrapper can again be the same. You can just do #define HALF_BITS (sizeof(unsigned long)*4) __syscall(PWRITEV, fd, iov, count, offset, (offset >> HALF_BITS) >> HALF_BITS); or something like that. That way the user mode wrapper will also be nicely passing in a zero (it won't actually have to do the shifts, the compiler will understand what is going on) for the last argument. And that is a good idea, even if nobody will necessarily ever care: if we ever do move to a 128-bit lloff_t, this particular system call might be left alone. Of course, that will be the least of our worries if we really ever need to care, so this may not be worth really caring about.

2009-04-03nfsd41: CREATE_EXCLUSIVE4_1Benny Halevy
Implement the CREATE_EXCLUSIVE4_1 open mode conforming to http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-26 This mode allows the client to atomically create a file if it doesn't exist while setting some of its attributes. It must be implemented if the server supports persistent reply cache and/or pnfs. Signed-off-by: Benny Halevy <bhalevy@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2009-04-03nfsd: dynamically skip encoded fattr bitmap in _nfsd4_verifyBenny Halevy
_nfsd4_verify currently skips 3 words from the encoded buffer begining. With support for 3-word attr bitmaps in nfsd41, nfsd4_encode_fattr may encode 1, 2, or 3 words, and not always 2 as it used to be, hence we need to find out where to skip using the encoded bitmap length.
