We used to use a flag on the directory inode to track whether the dcache contents for a directory were a complete cached copy. Switch to a dentry flag CEPH_D_COMPLETE that is safely updated by ->d_prune(). Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

When the VFS prunes a dentry from the cache, clear the D_COMPLETE flag on the parent dentry. Do this for the live and snapshotted namespaces. Do not bother for the .snap dir contents, since we do not cache that. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

This reverts commit 144060fe. It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post 3.1. The screen just stays black after wakeup. Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy walk). Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves. Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine. Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers. Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock. In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in _raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to test this was: aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev> I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't break anything.

arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c: release rapidio port I/O region resource if port failed to initialize The "struct rio_mport" contains a member of master port I/O memory resource structure "struct resource iores". This resource will be read from device tree and be used for rapidio R/W transaction memory space. Rapidio requests the port I/O memory resource under the root resource "iomem_resource". struct rio_mport *port; port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct rio_mport), GFP_KERNEL); request_resource(&iomem_resource, &port->iores); When port failed to initialize, allocated "rio_mport" structure memory will be freed, and the port I/O memory resource structure pointer "&port->iores" will be invalid. If other requests resource under "iomem_resource", "&port->iores" node may be operated in the child resources list and this will cause the system to crash. So the requested port I/O memory resource should be released before freeing allocated "rio_mport" structure.

Will Drewry authored
Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset. For example, root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1 selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next partition. This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but doesn't perform general partition table walking. That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance). Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition UUID.

include/linux/sem.h contains several structures that are only used within ipc/sem.c. The patch moves them into ipc/sem.c - there is no need to expose the structures to the whole kernel. No functional changes, only whitespace cleanups and 80-char per line fixes.

semtimedop() does not handle spurious wakeups, it returns -EINTR to user space. Most other schedule() users would just loop and not return to user space. The patch adds such a loop to semtimedop() Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation completed successfully: thread 1: thread 2: semtimedop(), sleeps semop(): * acquires sem_lock() semtimedop() woken up due to timeout sem_lock() loops * notices that thread 2 could be completed. * performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on. * marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP * drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0 * thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever * returns to user space * thread still delayed semctl(IPC_RMID) * acquires sem_lock() * ipc_rmid(), ipcp->deleted=1 * drops sem_lock() * thread finally continues - but seem_lock() now fails due to ipcp->deleted == 1 * returns -EIDRM instead of 0 The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status. In real world, the race probably doesn't matter: If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled.
