2007-10-19NFS: Fix a writeback race...Trond Myklebust
This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit 44dd151d5c21234cc534c47d7382f5c28c3143cd We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup(). Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date. Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-10-17nfs: remove congestion_end()Peter Zijlstra
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three issues: 1) inter device starvation 2) stacked device deadlocks 3) inter process starvation 1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit is broken. In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total limit proportional to the device's recent activity. 3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's recent dirty rate. This patch: nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already wakes the waiters.

2007-10-09NFS: Clean up NFS writeback flush codeTrond Myklebust
The only user of nfs_sync_mapping_range() is nfs_getattr(), which uses it to flush out the entire inode without sending a commit. We therefore replace nfs_sync_mapping_range with a more appropriate helper. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-09-01NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()Trond Myklebust
Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-05-24NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on writeTrond Myklebust
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by the same process. We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the list of nfs write requests that is already held in our nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

2007-04-30NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescingTrond Myklebust
Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize". In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

2007-04-20NFS: Fix the 'desynchronized value of nfs_i.ncommit' errorTrond Myklebust
Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the accounting for NR_UNSTABLE_NFS as well as nfs_i.ncommit. Ensure that all requests on the commit queue are labelled with the PG_NEED_COMMIT flag, and avoid moving them onto the dirty list inside nfs_page_mark_flush(). Also inline nfs_mark_request_dirty() into nfs_page_mark_flush() for atomicity reasons. Avoid dropping the spinlock until we're done marking the request in the radix tree and have added it to the ->dirty list.

2007-04-14NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback failsTrond Myklebust
If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared. Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the value of test_set_page_writeback(). The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

2007-03-16[PATCH] nfs: fix congestion controlPeter Zijlstra
The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it implements its own waitqueue. Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue. Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.
