Memory mappings were only truncated on an explicit truncate, but not when the file size was changed externally. Fix this by moving the truncation code from fuse_setattr to fuse_change_attributes. Yes, there are races between write and and external truncation, but we can't really do anything about them. Signed-off-by:

Make lifetime of 'struct fuse_file' independent from 'struct file' by adding a reference counter and destructor. This will enable asynchronous page writeback, where it cannot be guaranteed, that the file is not released while a request with this file handle is being served. The actual RELEASE request is only sent when there are no more references to the fuse_file. Signed-off-by:

Use wake_up_all instead of wake_up in put_reserved_req(), otherwise it is possible that the right task is not woken up. Also create a separate reserved_req_waitq in addition to the blocked_waitq, since they fulfill totally separate functions. Signed-off-by:

Set the read and write congestion state if the request queue is close to blocking, and clear it when it's not. This prevents unnecessary blocking in readahead and (when writable mmaps are allowed) writeback. Signed-off-by:

The floppy drive is slow. These days I see absolutely no good reason why the floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to optimize access to some variables via the register keyword. Better to just leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special and need to be fast (they don't).

A good initial step for a cleanup seems to me to be getting rid of old dead code. This stuff is either commented out or inside '#if 0' so it is not currently in use at all, let's just get rid of it once and for all. That's a few lines less to deal with. Signed-off-by:

Yes, some of this will likely be replaced in later patches, but I do not see anyone else coming out of the woodwork with any patches for this driver, so I'll ignore comments about churn. I want to get this driver cleaned up, and if I'm going to do so I want to start with this basic style cleanup to reduce the reading pain a bit. Signed-off-by:

Change migration_call(CPU_DEAD) to use direct spin_lock_irq() instead of task_rq_lock(rq->idle), rq->idle can't change its task_rq(). This makes the code a bit more symmetrical with migrate_dead_tasks()'s path which uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq. Signed-off-by:

Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist). This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see http://marc.info/?t=117327786100003Signed-off-by:

The 'degraded' attribute is useful to quickly determine if the array is degraded, instead of parsing 'mdadm -D' output or relying on the other techniques (number of working devices against number of defined devices, etc.). The md code already keeps track of this attribute, so it's useful to export it. Signed-off-by:

When an array is started read-only, MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED can be set but no recovery will be running. This causes 'sync_action' to report the wrong value. We could remove the test for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, but doing so would leave a small gap after requesting a sync action, where 'sync_action' would still report the old value. So make sure that for a read-only array, 'sync_action' always returns 'idle'. Signed-off-by:

In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for autostart. I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would come up whole, while all the others were short a disk. I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds (2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I wanted 64 per drive...). The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere. This patch replaces that static array with a list. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: removed unused var] Signed-off-by:

After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the writeback for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following happens instead: - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: all remaining 92M Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this: s_io s_more_io ------------------------- 1) 100M,1K 0 2) 1K 96M 3) 0 96M 1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file 2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more 3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG) nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all been written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in s_more_io. We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug). We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0 does not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate this situation. With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next kupdate invocation 5s later.

So basicly no page io is issued by __block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up. Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes(): 544 /* 545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked 546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now. 547 */ and the comment in __block_write_full_page(): 1713 /* 1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were 1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with 1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case. 1717 */ do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for 'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'! This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page() is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us. This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch: 1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:) 2) not so good: - during the dd: ~16M - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: ~176M The next patch will fix case (2).

Streamline the management of dirty inode lists and fix time ordering bugs. The writeback logic used to move not-yet-expired dirty inodes from s_dirty to s_io, *only to* move them back. The move-inodes-back-and-forth thing is a mess, which is eliminated by this patch. The new scheme is: - s_dirty acts as a time ordered io delaying queue; - s_io/s_more_io together acts as an io dispatching queue. On kupdate writeback, we pull some inodes from s_dirty to s_io at the start of every full scan of s_io. Otherwise (i.e. for sync/throttle/background writeback), we always pull from s_dirty on each run (a partial scan). Note that the line list_splice_init(&sb->s_more_io, &sb->s_io); is moved to queue_io() to leave s_io empty. Otherwise a big dirtied file will sit in s_io for a long time, preventing new expired inodes to get in. Cc: Ken Chen <kenchen@google.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path. However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for. The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode. If there is another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0. Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again. We effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval. If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start accumulate a large number of dirty pages. So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

This one fixes four bugs. There are a few situation in there where writeback decides it is going to skip over a blockdev inode on the kernel-internal blockdev superblock. It presently does this by moving the blockdev inode onto the tail of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty. But a) this screws up s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness and b) refiling the blockdev for writeback in another 30 second is rude. We should try again sooner than that. Fix all this up by using redirty_head(): move the blockdev inode onto the head of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list for prompt writeback. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Recycling the previous changelog: When the writeback function is operating in writeback-for-flushing mode (as opposed to writeback-for-integrity) and it encounters an I_LOCKed inode, it will skip writing that inode. This is done for throughput and latency: move on to another inode rather than blocking for this one. Writeback skips this inode by moving it off s_io and onto s_dirty, so that writeback can proceed with the other inodes on s_io. However that inode movement can corrupt s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness. Fix that by using the new redirty_tail(), which will update the refiled inode's dirtied_when field. Note: the behaviour in here is a bit rude: if kupdate happens to come across a locked inode then it will defer writeback of that inode for another 30 seconds. We'll address that in the next patch. Address that here. What we do is to move the skipped inode to the _head_ of s_dirty, immediately eligible for writeout again. Instead of deferring that writeout for another 30 seconds. One would think that this might cause a livelock: we keep on trying to write the same locked inode. But it won't because: a) if that was the case, it would _already_ be happening on the balance_dirty_pages codepath. Because balance_dirty_pages() doesn't care about inode timestamps. b) if we skipped this inode then we won't have done any writeback. The higher-level writeback paths will see that wbc.nr_to_write didn't change and they'll then back off and take a nap. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When the kupdate function has tried to write back an expired inode it will then check to see whether some of the inode's pages are still dirty. This can happen when the filesystem decided to not write a page for some reason. But it does _not_ occur due to redirtyings: a redirtying will set I_DIRTY_PAGES. What we need to do here is to set I_DIRTY_PAGES to reflect reality and to then put the inode onto the _head_ of s_dirty for consideration on the next kupdate pass, in five seconds time. Problem is, the code failed to modify the inode's timestamp when pushing the inode onto thehead of s_dirty. The patch: If there are no other inodes on s_dirty then we leave the inode's timestamp alone: it is already expired. If there _are_ other inodes on s_dirty then we arrange for this inode to get the same timestamp as the inode which is at the head of s_dirty, thus preserving the s_dirty ordering. But we only need to do this if this inode purports to have been dirtied before the one at head-of-list. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

While writeback is working against a dirty inode it does a check after trying to write some of the inode's pages: "did the lower layers skip some of the inode's dirty pages because they were locked (or under writeback, or whatever)" If this turns out to be true, we must move the inode back onto s_dirty and redirty it. The reason for doing this is that fsync() and friends only check the s_dirty list, and those functions want to know about those pages which were locked, so they can be waited upon and, if necessary, rewritten. Problem is, that redirtying was putting the inode onto the tail of s_dirty without updating its timestamp. This causes a violation of s_dirty ordering. Fix this by updating inode->dirtied_when when moving the inode onto s_dirty. But the code is still a bit buggy? If the inode was _already_ dirty then we don't need to move it at all. Oh well, hopefully it doesn't matter too much, as that was a redirtying, which was very recent anwyay. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

For reasons which escape me, inodes which are dirty against a ram-backed filesystem are managed in the same way as inodes which are backed by real devices. Probably we could optimise things here. But given that we skip the entire supeblock as son as we hit the first dirty inode, there's not a lot to be gained. And the code does need to handle one particular non-backed superblock: the kernel's fake internal superblock which holds all the blockdevs. Still. At present when the code encounters an inode which is dirty against a memory-backed filesystem it will skip that inode by refiling it back onto s_dirty. But it fails to update the inode's timestamp when doing so which at least makes the debugging code upset. Fix. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When writeback has finished writing back an inode it looks to see if that inode is still dirty. If it is, that means that a process redirtied the inode while its writeback was in progress. What we need to do here is to refile the redirtied inode onto the s_dirty list. But we're doing that wrongly: it could be that this inode was redirtied _before_ the last inode on s_dirty. We're blindly appending this inode to the list, after an inode which might be less-recently-dirtied, thus violating the list's ordering. So we must either insertion-sort this inode into the correct place, or we must update this inode's dirtied_when field when appending it to the reverse-sorted s_dirty list, to preserve the reverse-time-ordering. This patch does the latter: if this inode was dirtied less recently than the tail inode then copy the tail inode's timestamp into this inode. This means that in rare circumstances, some inodes will be writen back later than they should have been. But the time slip will be small. Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

When resizing online, setup_new_group_blocks attempts to reserve a potentially very large transaction, depending on the current filesystem geometry. For some journal sizes, there may not be enough room for this transaction, and the online resize will fail. The patch below resizes & restarts the transaction as necessary while setting up the new group, and should work with even the smallest journal. Tested with something like: [root@newbox ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=fsfile bs=1024 count=32768 [root@newbox ~]# mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 fsfile 16384 [root@newbox ~]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/ [root@newbox ~]# resize2fs /dev/loop0 resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /root/mnt; on-line resizing required old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1 Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 32768 (1k) blocks. resize2fs: No space left on device While trying to add group #2 [root@newbox ~]# dmesg | tail -n 1 JBD: resize2fs wants too many credits (258 > 256) [root@newbox ~]# With the below change, it works.

load_module() returns zero when mod_sysfs_init() fails, then the module loading will succeed accidentally. This patch makes load_module() return error correctly in that case. Acked-by:

One more small change to extend the availability of creation of file descriptors with FD_CLOEXEC set. Adding a new command to fcntl() requires no new system call and the overall impact on code size if minimal. If this patch gets accepted we will also add this change to the next revision of the POSIX spec. To test the patch, use the following little program. Adjust the value of F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC appropriately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #ifndef F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC # define F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC 12 #endif int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc > 1) { if (fcntl (3, F_GETFD) == 0) { puts ("descriptor not closed"); exit (1); } if (errno != EBADF) { puts ("error not EBADF"); exit (1); } exit (0); } int fd = fcntl (STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 0); if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL) { puts ("F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC not supported"); return 0; } if (fd != 3) { puts ("program called with descriptors other than 0,1,2"); return 1; } execl ("/proc/self/exe", "/proc/self/exe", "1", NULL); puts ("execl failed"); return 1; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by:Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by:
