gfs2_write_begin() calls grab_cache_page_write_begin() that returns *locked* page. Correspondent error-handling path lacks for unlock_page() call: > out: > if (error == 0) > return 0; > > page_cache_release(page); The whole system hangs if gfs2_unstuff_dinode() called from gfs2_write_begin() failed for some reason.

The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists are self contained and no log specific items outside the lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists. Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward. This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write throughput.

GFS2 fallocate wasn't properly checking if a blocks were already allocated. In write_empty_blocks(), if a page didn't have buffer_heads attached, GFS2 was always treating it as if there were no blocks allocated for that page. GFS2 now calls gfs2_block_map() to check if the blocks are allocated before writing them out.

This is a small patch that optimizes multiple glock dequeue operations. It changes the unlock order to be more efficient and makes it easier for lock debugging tools to unravel. It also eliminates the need for the temp variable x, although that would likely be optimized out.

This patch fixes a race in deallocating glocks which was introduced in the RCU glock patch. We need to ensure that the glock count is kept correct even in the case that there is a race to add a new glock into the hash table. Also, to avoid having to wait for an RCU grace period, the glock counter can be decremented before call_rcu() is called. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Immediately after being synced to disk, cached quotas are zeroed out and a subsequent access of the cached quotas results in incorrect zero values. This meant that gfs2 assumed the actual usage to be the zero (or near-zero) usage values it found in the cached quotas and comparison against warn/limits never triggered a quota violation. This patch adds a new flag QDF_REFRESH that is set after a sync so that the cached quotas are forcefully refreshed from disk on a subsequent access on seeing this flag set.

This patch is a performance improvement to GFS2's dealloc code. Rather than update the quota file and statfs file for every single block that's stripped off in unlink function do_strip, this patch keeps track and updates them once for every layer that's stripped. This is done entirely inside the existing transaction, so there should be no risk of corruption. The other functions that deallocate blocks will be unaffected because they are using wrapper functions that do the same thing that they do today. I tested this code on my roth cluster by creating 200 files in a directory, each of which is 100MB, then on four nodes, I simultaneously deleted the files, thus competing for GFS2 resources (but different files). The commands I used were: [root@roth-01]# time for i in `seq 1 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done [root@roth-02]# time for i in `seq 2 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done [root@roth-03]# time for i in `seq 3 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done [root@roth-05]# time for i in `seq 4 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done The performance increase was significant: roth-01 roth-02 roth-03 roth-05 --------- --------- --------- --------- old: real 0m34.027 0m25.021s 0m23.906s 0m35.646s new: real 0m22.379s 0m24.362s 0m24.133s 0m18.562s Total time spent deleting: old: 118.6s new: 89.4 For this particular case, this showed a 25% performance increase for GFS2 unlinks.

The mmap system call grabs a glock when an update to atime maybe required. It does this in order to ensure that the flags on the inode are uptodate, but since it will only mark atime for a future update, an exclusive lock is not required here (one will be taken later when the actual update is performed). Also, the lock can be skipped when the mount is marked noatime in addition to the original check which only looked at the noatime flag for the inode itself. This should increase the scalability of the mmap call when multiple nodes are all mmaping the same file.

This has a number of advantages: - Reduces contention on the hash table lock - Makes the code smaller and simpler - Should speed up glock dumps when under load - Removes ref count changing in examine_bucket - No longer need hash chain lock in glock_put() in common case There are some further changes which this enables and which we may do in the future. One is to look at using SLAB_RCU, and another is to look at using a per-cpu counter for the per-sb glock counter, since that is touched twice in the lifetime of each glock (but only used at umount time).

Commit ca9b600b ("ACPI / PM: Make suspend_nvs_save() use acpi_os_map_memory()") attempted to prevent the code in osl.c and nvs.c from using different ioremap() variants by making the latter use acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages. However, that also requires acpi_os_unmap_memory() to be used for unmapping them, which causes synchronize_rcu() to be executed many times in a row unnecessarily and introduces substantial delays during resume on some systems. Instead of using acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages in nvs.c introduce acpi_os_ioremap() calling ioremap_cache() and make the code in both osl.c and nvs.c use it.

We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure. However, this implies getting write access to the call function data before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing both writes with one cache line bounce. On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms. I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the information needed.

I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt: if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask)) continue; data->csd.func(data->csd.info); refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs); WARN_ON(refs < 0); <------------------------- We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be? It turns out commit 54fdade1 ("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a rather complicated race. The problem comes about because: - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue without any locking. - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many. - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next smp_call_function_many. Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back, and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU C handles the calls: CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees data from CPU A on list smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees (stale) CPU A on list smp_call_function int clears last ref on A list_del_rcu, unlock smp_call_function reuses percpu *data A data->cpumask sees and clears bit in cpumask might be using old or new fn! decrements refs below 0 set data->refs (too late!) The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner is in the process of initialising it. The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC box (having 128 threads does help :) #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #define ITERATIONS 100 static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy) { } static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy) { int i; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1); printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id()); } static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS]; static int __init testcase_init(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis); schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]); } return 0; } static void __exit testcase_exit(void) { } module_init(testcase_init) module_exit(testcase_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and ->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then ->refs _again_.

Up until 3e7d3449 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim"), compaction skipped calculating the fragmentation index of a zone when compaction was explicitely requested through the procfs knob. However, when compaction_suitable was introduced, it did not come with an extra check for order == -1, set on explicit compaction requests, and passed this order on to the fragmentation index calculation, where it overshifts the number of requested pages, leading to a division by zero. This patch makes sure that order == -1 is recognized as the flag it is rather than passing it along as valid order parameter.

memblock_is_region_memory() uses reserved memblocks to search for the given region, while it should use the memory memblocks. I encountered the problem with OMAP's framebuffer ram allocation. Normally the ram is allocated dynamically, and this function is not called. However, if we want to pass the framebuffer from the bootloader to the kernel (to retain the boot image), this function is used to check the validity of the kernel parameters for the framebuffer ram area.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.
