2011-07-20fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik
This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20fs: seq_file - add event counter to simplify poll() supportKay Sievers
Moving the event counter into the dynamically allocated 'struc seq_file' allows poll() support without the need to allocate its own tracking structure. All current users are switched over to use the new counter.

2011-07-20fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototypeChristoph Hellwig
Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device argument, and never need a end_io handler. Let's simply things for them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments. The only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large difference anyway.

2011-07-20fs: kill i_alloc_semChristoph Hellwig
i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

2011-07-20superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-20superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructureDave Chinner
With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

2011-07-20inode: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner
With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

2011-07-20inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblockDave Chinner
The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.

2011-07-20vmscan: add customisable shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
For shrinkers that have their own cond_resched* calls, having shrink_slab break the work down into small batches is not paticularly efficient.

2011-07-20fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flagsJosef Bacik
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then looking up the inode. What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go straight to the inode itself. The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup. So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the parent to get the inode for the dentry. I have tested this with btrfs and I went from something that looks like this http://people.redhat.com/jwhiter/ls-noreada.png To this http://people.redhat.com/jwhiter/ls-good.png Thats a savings of 1300 seconds, or 22 minutes.

There is no software fallback implemented for SCTP or FCoE checksumming, and so it should not be passed on by software devices like bridge or bonding. For VLAN devices, this is different. First, the driver for underlying device should be prepared to get offloaded packets even when the feature is disabled (especially if it advertises it in vlan_features). Second, devices under VLANs do not get replaced without tearing down the VLAN first. This fixes a mess I accidentally introduced while converting bonding to ndo_fix_features.

2011-07-13ACPI: Fix lockdep false positives in acpi_power_off()Rafael J. Wysocki
All ACPICA locks are allocated by the same function, acpi_os_create_lock(), with the help of a local variable called "lock". Thus, when lockdep is enabled, it uses "lock" as the name of all those locks and regards them as instances of the same lock, which causes it to report possible locking problems with them when there aren't any. To work around this problem, define acpi_os_create_lock() as a macro and make it pass its argument to spin_lock_init(), so that lockdep uses it as the name of the new lock. Define this macron in a Linux-specific file, to minimize the resulting modifications of the OS-independent ACPICA parts. This change is based on an earlier patch from Andrea Righi and it addresses a regression from 2.6.39 tracked as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38152 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

closing socket Trigger user ABORT if application closes a socket which has data queued on the socket receive queue or chunks waiting on the reassembly or ordering queue as this would imply data being lost which defeats the point of a graceful shutdown. This behavior is already practiced in TCP. We do not check the input queue because that would mean to parse all chunks on it to look for unacknowledged data which seems too much of an effort. Control chunks or duplicated chunks may also be in the input queue and should not be stopping a graceful shutdown.

2011-07-07sctp: Enforce retransmission limit during shutdownThomas Graf
When initiating a graceful shutdown while having data chunks on the retransmission queue with a peer which is in zero window mode the shutdown is never completed because the retransmission error count is reset periodically by the following two rules: - Do not timeout association while doing zero window probe. - Reset overall error count when a heartbeat request has been acknowledged. The graceful shutdown will wait for all outstanding TSN to be acknowledged before sending the SHUTDOWN request. This never happens due to the peer's zero window not acknowledging the continuously retransmitted data chunks. Although the error counter is incremented for each failed retransmission, the receiving of the SACK announcing the zero window clears the error count again immediately. Also heartbeat requests continue to be sent periodically. The peer acknowledges these requests causing the error counter to be reset as well. This patch changes behaviour to only reset the overall error counter for the above rules while not in shutdown. After reaching the maximum number of retransmission attempts, the T5 shutdown guard timer is scheduled to give the receiver some additional time to recover. The timer is stopped as soon as the receiver acknowledges any data. The issue can be easily reproduced by establishing a sctp association over the loopback device, constantly queueing data at the sender while not reading any at the receiver. Wait for the window to reach zero, then initiate a shutdown by killing both processes simultaneously. The association will never be freed and the chunks on the retransmission queue will be retransmitted indefinitely.
