* fs: use RCU read side protection in d_validateChristoph Hellwig2010-10-261-19/+12
| | | | | | | | | d_validate does a purely read lookup in the dentry hash, so use RCU read side locking instead of dcache_lock. Split out from a larget patch by Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* fs: clean up dentry lru modificationChristoph Hellwig2010-10-261-26/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Always do a list_del_init on the LRU to make sure the list_empty invariant for not beeing on the LRU always holds true, and fold dentry_lru_del_init into dentry_lru_del. Replace the dentry_lru_add_tail primitive with a dentry_lru_move_tail operations that simpler when the dentry already is one the list, which is always is. Move the list_empty into dentry_lru_add to fit the scheme of the other lru helpers, and simplify locking once we move to a separate LRU lock.

* fs: split __shrink_dcache_sbChristoph Hellwig2010-10-261-60/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently __shrink_dcache_sb has an extremly awkward calling convention because it tries to please very different callers. Split out the main loop into a shrink_dentry_list helper, which gets called directly from shrink_dcache_sb for the cases where all dentries need to be pruned, or from __shrink_dcache_sb for pruning only a certain number of dentries.

| | | | | | | | | | | dentry referenced bit is only set when installing the dentry back onto the LRU.

* fs: use percpu counter for nr_dentry and nr_dentry_unusedChristoph Hellwig2010-10-261-19/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | The nr_dentry stat is a globally touched cacheline and atomic operation twice over the lifetime of a dentry. It is used for the benfit of userspace only. Turn it into a per-cpu counter and always decrement it in d_free instead of doing various batching operations to reduce lock hold times in the callers.

* fs: brlock vfsmount_lockNick Piggin2010-08-181-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fs: brlock vfsmount_lock Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when performing mount hash lookups. A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take the heavy vfsmount write-lock. The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock). The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark (mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

* fs: remove extra lookup in __lookup_hashNick Piggin2010-08-181-25/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fs: remove extra lookup in __lookup_hash Optimize lookup for create operations, where no dentry should often be common-case. In cases where it is not, such as unlink, the added overhead is much smaller than the removed. Also, move comments about __d_lookup racyness to the __d_lookup call site. d_lookup is intuitive; __d_lookup is what needs commenting. So in that same vein, add kerneldoc comments to __d_lookup and clean up some of the comments: - We are interested in how the RCU lookup works here, particularly with renames. Make that explicit, and point to the document where it is explained in more detail. - RCU is pretty standard now, and macros make implementations pretty mindless. If we want to know about RCU barrier details, we look in RCU code. - Delete some boring legacy comments because we don't care much about how the code used to work, more about the interesting parts of how it works now. So comments about lazy LRU may be interesting, but would better be done in the LRU or refcount management code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __d_path() has 4 callers: d_path() sys_getcwd() seq_path_root() tomoyo_realpath_from_path2() Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path(). sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path(). seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in /proc/PID/mountinfo, which is always a positive. And tomoyo doesn't want the deleted ending. Create a helper "path_with_deleted()" as subsequent patches will need this in multiple places.

* vfs: __d_path: dont prepend the name of the root dentryMiklos Szeredi2010-08-111-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the old times pseudo-filesystems set the name of theroot dentry to some prefix like "pipe:" and the name of the child dentry to "[123]" and relied on a hack in __d_path() to replace the preceding slash with the root's name to get "pipe:[123]". Then the d_dname() dentry operation was introduced which solved the same problem without having to pre-fill the name in each dentry. Currently the following pseudo filesystems exist in the kernel: perfmon mtd anon_inode bdev pipe socket Of these only perfmon, anon_inode, pipe and socket create sub-dentries, all of which have now been switched to using d_dname(). bdev and mtd only create inodes. This means that now the hack to overwrite the slash can be removed, so for unreachable paths (e.g. within a detached mount) the path string won't be polluted with garbage. For these cases a subsequent patch will add a prefix, indicating that the path is unreachable. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* fs: fix superblock iteration racenpiggin@suse.de2010-06-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent modification of the list. 6754af6 introduced a race in sb walking. list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is dropped, n may be deleted.

And if it goes positive afterwards, well... Fortunately, there's only one place where that needs to be caught: only d_delete() can turn the sucker negative without immediately freeing it; all other places that can lead to ->d_iput() call are followed by unconditionally freeing struct dentry in question.

* shrink struct dentryNick Piggin2009-01-011-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all users, and it's name is not very descriptive either. Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations. Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers to d_obtain_alias.
