2008-08-13[XFS] Use KM_NOFS for debug trace buffersLachlan McIlroy
Use KM_NOFS to prevent recursion back into the filesystem which can cause deadlocks. In the case of xfs_iread() we hold the lock on the inode cluster buffer while allocating memory for the trace buffers. If we recurse back into XFS to flush data that may require a transaction to allocate extents which needs log space. This can deadlock with the xfsaild thread which can't push the tail of the log because it is trying to get the inode cluster buffer lock.

2008-07-28[XFS] streamline init/exit pathChristoph Hellwig
Currently the xfs module init/exit code is a mess. It's farmed out over a lot of function with very little error checking. This patch makes sure we propagate all initialization failures properly and clean up after them. Various runtime initializations are replaced with compile-time initializations where possible to make this easier. The exit path is similarly consolidated. There's now split out function to create/destroy the kmem zones and alloc/free the trace buffers. I've also changed the ktrace allocations to KM_MAYFAIL and handled errors resulting from that. And yes, we really should replace the XFS_*_TRACE ifdefs with a single XFS_TRACE..

2007-09-20[XFS] fix filestreams on 32-bit boxesEric Sandeen
xfs_filestream_mount() sets up an mru cache with: err = xfs_mru_cache_create(&mp->m_filestream, lifetime, grp_count, (xfs_mru_cache_free_func_t)xfs_fstrm_free_func); but that cast is causing problems... typedef void (*xfs_mru_cache_free_func_t)(unsigned long, void*); but: void xfs_fstrm_free_func( xfs_ino_t ino, fstrm_item_t *item) so on a 32-bit box, it's casting (32, 32) args into (64, 32) and I assume it's getting garbage for *item, which subsequently causes an explosion. With this change the filestreams xfsqa tests don't oops on my 32-bit box.

2007-09-17[XFS] On-demand reaping of the MRU cacheDavid Chinner
Instead of running the mru cache reaper all the time based on a timeout, we should only run it when the cache has active objects. This allows CPUs to sleep when there is no activity rather than be woken repeatedly just to check if there is anything to do.

2007-07-14[XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data StreamsDavid Chinner
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed contiguously on disk. When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time, it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate targets. This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a new AG for the stream that is not in use. The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream. Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream object and associate the new file with that object. Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy update). Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode. Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem freeze).
