This means: 1/ We don't need an order-4 allocation for each nfsd that starts 2/ We don't need an order-4 allocation in skb_linearize when we receive a 32K write request 3/ It will be easier to incorporate the zero-copy read changes The pages are handed around using an xdr_buf (instead of svc_buf) much like the NFS client so future crypto code can use the same data structure for both client and server. The code assumes that most requests and replies fit in a single page. The exceptions are assumed to have some largish 'data' bit, and the rest must fit in a single page. The 'data' bits are file data, readdir data, and symlinks. There must be only one 'data' bit per request. This is all fine for nfs/nlm. This isn't complete: 1/ NFSv4 hasn't been converted yet (it won't compile) 2/ NFSv3 allows symlinks upto 4096, but the code will only support upto about 3800 at the moment 3/ readdir responses are limited to about 3800. but I thought that patch was big enough, and the rest can come later. This patch introduces vfs_readv and vfs_writev as parallels to vfs_read and vfs_write. This means there is a fair bit of duplication in read_write.c that should probably be tidied up...

nfsd_readdir - the common readdir code for all version of nfsd, contains a number of version-specific things with appropriate checks, and also does some xdr-encoding which rightly belongs elsewhere. This patch simplifies nfsd_readdir to do just the core stuff, and moves the version specifics into version specific files, and the xdr encoding into xdr encoding files.

Currently if the kmalloc in exports_open fails, the seq_file isn't seq_released. We now do the kmalloc first, and make sure to kfree if seq_open fails.

The 'unexport everything' that happens when the last nfsd thread dies was shuting down too much - things that should only be shut down on module unload.

There is one remaining instance of CONFIG_MULTIQUAD in the kernel source. Fix it to use the proper CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ instead.

Define an interface for interpreting and updating superblocks so we can more easily define new formats. With this patch, (almost) all superblock layout information is locating in a small set of routines dedicated to superblock handling. This will allow us to provide a similar set for a different format. The two exceptions are: 1/ autostart_array where the devices listed in the superblock are searched for. 2/ raid5 'knows' the maximum number of devices for compute_parity. These will be addressed in a later patch.

A few updates for x86-64 in 2.5.44. Some of the bugs fixed were serious. - Don't count ACPI mappings in end_pfn. This shrinks mem_map a lot on many setups. - Fix mem= option. Remove custom mapping support. - Revert per_cpu implementation to the generic version. The optimized one that used %gs directly triggered too many toolkit problems and was an constant source of bugs. - Make sure pgd_offset_k works correctly for vmalloc mappings. This makes modules work again properly. - Export pci dma symbols - Export other symbols to make more modules work - Don't drop physical address bits >32bit on iommu free. - Add more prototypes to fix warnings - Resync pci subsystem with i386 - Fix pci dma kernel option parsing. - Do PCI peer bus scanning after ACPI in case it missed some busses (that's a workaround - 2.5 ACPI seems to have some problems here that I need to investigate more closely) - Remove the .eh_frame on linking. This saves several hundred KB in the bzImage - Fix MTRR initialization. It works properly now on SMP again. - Fix kernel option parsing, it was broken by section name changes in init.h - A few other cleanups and fixes. - Fix nonatomic warning in ioport.c

Add a `cold' hint to struct pagevec, and teach truncate and page reclaim to use it. Empirical testing showed that truncate's pages tend to be hot. And page reclaim's are certainly cold.

It is usually the case that pagecache reads use busmastering hardware to transfer the data into pagecache. This invalidates the CPU cache of the pagecache pages. So use cache-cold pages for pagecache reads. To avoid wasting cache-hot pages.

Hot/Cold pages and zone->lock amortisation
-
Andrew Morton authored
Patch from Martin Bligh. Implements __free_pages_bulk(). Release multiple pages of a given order into the buddy all within a single acquisition of the zone lock. This also removes current->local_pages. The per-task list of pages which only ever contained one page. To prevent other tasks from stealing pages which this task has just freed up. Given that we're freeing into the per-cpu caches, and that those are multipage caches, and the cpu-stickiness of the scheduler, I think current->local_pages is no longer needed.

This is the hot-n-cold-pages series. It introduces a per-cpu lockless LIFO pool in front of the page allocator. For three reasons: 1: To reduce lock contention on the buddy lock: we allocate and free pages in, typically, 16-page chunks. 2: To return cache-warm pages to page allocation requests. 3: As infrastructure for a page reservation API which can be used to ensure that the GFP_ATOMIC radix-tree node and pte_chain allocations cannot fail. That code is not complete, and does not absolutely require hot-n-cold pages. It'll work OK though. We add two queues per CPU. The "hot" queue contains pages which the freeing code thought were likely to be cache-hot. By default, new allocations are satisfied from this queue. The "cold" queue contains pages which the freeing code expected to be cache-cold. The cold queue is mainly for lock amortisation, although it is possible to explicitly allocate cold pages. The readahead code does that. I have been hot and cold on these patches for quite some time - the benefit is not great. - 4% speedup in Randy Hron's benching of the autoconf regression tests on a 4-way. Most of this came from savings in pte_alloc and pmd_alloc: the pagetable clearing code liked the warmer pages (some architectures still have the pgt_cache, and can perhaps do away with them). - 1% to 2% speedup in kernel compiles on my 4-way and Martin's 32-way. - 60% speedup in a little test program which writes 80 kbytes to a file and ftruncates it to zero again. Ran four instances of that on 4-way and it loved the cache warmth. - 2.5% speedup in Specweb testing on 8-way - The thing which won me over: an 11% increase in throughput of the SDET benchmark on an 8-way PIII: with hot & cold: RESULT for 8 users is 17971 +12.1% RESULT for 16 users is 17026 +12.0% RESULT for 32 users is 17009 +10.4% RESULT for 64 users is 16911 +10.3% without: RESULT for 8 users is 16038 RESULT for 16 users is 15200 RESULT for 32 users is 15406 RESULT for 64 users is 15331 SDET is a very old SPEC test which simulates a development environment with a large number of users. Lots of users running a mix of shell commands, basically. These patches were written by Martin Bligh and myself. This one implements rmqueue_bulk() - a function for removing multiple pages of a given order from the buddy lists. This is for lock amortisation: take the highly-contended zone->lock with less frequency, do more work once it has been acquired.
