2007-10-17writeback: introduce writeback_control.more_io to indicate more ioFengguang Wu
After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the writeback for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following happens instead: - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: all remaining 92M Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this: s_io s_more_io ------------------------- 1) 100M,1K 0 2) 1K 96M 3) 0 96M 1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file 2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more 3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG) nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all been written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in s_more_io. We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug). We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0 does not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate this situation. With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next kupdate invocation 5s later.

2007-10-17writeback: fix periodic superblock dirty inode flushingKen Chen
Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path. However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for. The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode. If there is another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0. Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again. We effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval. If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start accumulate a large number of dirty pages. So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

2007-10-17tty: expose new methods needed for drivers to get termios rightAlan Cox
This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it always available) tty_termios_copy_hw Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other. This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting tty_termios_encode_baud_rate Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx encoding when possible to maximise compatibility. tty_encode_baud_rate As above but for the tty's own current termios structure I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base. I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems but not break. Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

2007-10-17shrink_dcache_sb speedupDenis V. Lunev
This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy. On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some dentries for removal. However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be inserted *before* our dentries. This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover, for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity. We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries. To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end of LRU list. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

2007-10-17KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronousDavid Howells
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion of construction. Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use it. This is done automatically for userspace. The following auxiliary changes are also made: (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into linux/key-type.h. (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly. (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

2007-10-17NBD: allow hung network I/O to be cancelledPaul Clements
Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes) occurred. The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O hang) behavior.

2007-10-17add-vmcore: add nodemask_t's size and NR_FREE_PAGES's value to vmcoreinfo_dataKen'ichi Ohmichi
[2/3] Add nodemask_t's size and NR_FREE_PAGES's value to vmcoreinfo_data. The dump filetering command 'makedumpfile'(v1.1.6 or before) had assumed the above values, and it was not good from the reliability viewpoint. So makedumpfile v1.2.0 came to need these values and I created the patch to let the kernel output them. makedumpfile site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[1/3] Cleanup the coding style according to Andrew's comments: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2007-August/000522.html - vmcoreinfo_append_str() should have suitable __attribute__s so that the compiler can check its use. - vmcoreinfo_max_size should have size_t. - Use get_seconds() instead of xtime.tv_sec. - Use init_uts_ns.name.release instead of UTS_RELEASE.

2007-10-17Add vmcoreinfoKen'ichi Ohmichi
This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system. makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is hard to install it into each system. To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html) And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

2007-10-17Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of unsigned longMathieu Desnoyers
Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file f_version. fs.h: struct inode u64 i_version; and struct file unsigned long f_version; Users do: fs/ext3/dir.c: if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) { So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits. This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly. It applies to 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.

2007-10-17Shrink struct task_struct::oomkilladjAlexey Dobriyan
oomkilladj is int, but values which can be assigned to it are -17, [-16, 15], thus fitting into s8. While patch itself doesn't help in making task_struct smaller, because of natural alignment of ->link_count, it will make picture clearer wrt futher task_struct reduction patches. My plan is to move ->fpu_counter and ->oomkilladj after ->ioprio filling hole on i386 and x86_64. But that's for later, because bloated distro configs need looking at as well.

2007-10-17remove strict ansi check from __u64 in asm/types.hOlaf Hering
Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ check from the __u64/__s64 declaration on 32bit targets. GCC can be made to warn about usage of long long types with ISO C90 (-ansi), but only with -pedantic. You can write this in a way that even then it doesn't cause warnings, namely by: #ifdef __GNUC__ __extension__ typedef __signed__ long long __s64; __extension__ typedef unsigned long long __u64; #endif The __extension__ keyword in front of this switches off any pedantic warnings for this expression.

2007-10-17cramfs: error message about endianessAndi Drebes
The README file in the cramfs subdirectory says: "All data is currently in host-endian format; neither mkcramfs nor the kernel ever do swabbing." If somebody tries to mount a cramfs with the wrong endianess, cramfs only complains about a wrong magic but doesn't inform the user that only the endianess isn't right. The following patch adds an error message to the cramfs sources. If a user tries to mount a cramfs with the wrong endianess using the patched sources, cramfs will display the message "cramfs: wrong endianess".

2007-10-17unicode diacritics supportSamuel Thibault
There have been issues with non-latin1 diacritics and unicode. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746 Git 759448f459234bfcf34b82471f0dba77a9aca498 `Kernel utf-8 handling' partly resolved it by adding conversion between diacritics and unicode. The patch below goes further by just turning diacritics into unicode, hence providing better future support. The kbd support can be fetched from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12313 This was tested in all of latin1, latin9, latin2 and unicode with french and czech dead keys. Turn the kernel accent_table into unicode, and extend ioctls KDGKBDIACR and KDSKBDIACR into their equivalents KDGKBDIACRUC and KDSKBDIACR. New function int conv_uni_to_8bit(u32 uni) for converting unicode into 8bit _input_. No, we don't want to store the translation, as it is potentially sparse and large.

2007-10-17Add MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERSRoland McGrath
This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter. This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide. This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not need to be using atomic macros.
