* Trim a bit of crap from fs.hAl Viro2009-06-121-3/+0
| | | | | | do_remount_sb() is fs/internal.h fodder, fsync_no_super() is long gone. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* quota: Introduce writeout_quota_sb() (version 4)Jan Kara2009-06-121-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | Introduce this function which just writes all the quota structures but avoids all the syncing and cache pruning work to expose quota structures to userspace. Use this function from __sync_filesystem when wait == 0. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* quota: cleanup dquota sync functions (version 4)Christoph Hellwig2009-06-121-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the VFS calls vfs_dq_sync to sync out disk quotas for a given superblock. This is a small wrapper around sync_dquots which for the case of a non-NULL superblock is a small wrapper around quota_sync_sb. Just make quota_sync_sb global (rename it to sync_quota_sb) and call it directly. Also call it directly for those cases in quota.c that have a superblock and leave sync_dquots purely an iterator over sync_quota_sb and remove it's superblock argument. To make this nicer move the check for the lack of a quota_sync method from the callers into sync_quota_sb.

* vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)Jan Kara2009-06-122-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers() is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks. sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

* vfs: Make __fsync_super() a static function (version 4)Jan Kara2009-06-121-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | __fsync_super() does the same thing as fsync_super(). So change the only caller to use fsync_super() and make __fsync_super() static. This removes unnecessarily duplicated call to sync_blockdev() and prepares ground for the changes to __fsync_super() in the following patches.

* fs: introduce mnt_clone_writenpiggin@suse.de2009-06-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the first patch. Before: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 After: avg = 453.12 std = 9.58257 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence) It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write if the file is open for write. After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write). [AV: mnt_want_write_file() should take file alone and derive mnt from it; not only all callers have that form, but that's the only mnt about which we know that it's already held for write if file is opened for write] Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* fs: mnt_want_write speedupnpiggin@suse.de2009-06-121-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about 8%. lat_mmap is set up basically to mmap a 64MB file on tmpfs, fault in its pages, then unmap it. A microbenchmark yes, but it exercises some important paths in the mm. Before: avg = 501.9 std = 14.7773 After: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence, but there is quite a bit of variation there still) It does this by removing the complex per-cpu locking and counter-cache and replaces it with a percpu counter in struct vfsmount. This makes the code much simpler, and avoids spinlocks (although the msync is still pretty costly, unfortunately). It results in about 900 bytes smaller code too. It does increase the size of a vfsmount, however. It should also give a speedup on large systems if CPUs are frequently operating on different mounts (because the existing scheme has to operate on an atomic in the struct vfsmount when switching between mounts). But I'm most interested in the single threaded path performance for the moment.

* Cache root in nameidataAl Viro2009-06-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | New field: nd->root. When pathname resolution wants to know the root, check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise copy current->fs->root there. After path_walk() is finished, we check if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it. Before calling path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and pin down) some path to nd->root. In the latter case we won't be looking at current->fs->root at all.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsnotify tells its listeners explicitly when an event happened on the given inode verses on the child of the given inode. (see __fsnotify_parent) However, the semantics of fsnotify_move() are such that we deliver events directly to the two parent directories in question (old_dir and new_dir) directly without using the __fsnotify_parent() call. fsnotify should be adding FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD for the notifications to these parents.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of the standard inotify events it includes a correlation cookie between two dentry move operations.

| * fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodesEric Paris2009-06-113-1/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes. These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached them to the inode's list. dnotify and inotify will make use of these markings to indicate which inodes are of interest to their respective groups. But this implementation has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes it had NO interest in.

Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had unsigned long i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */ struct dnotify_struct *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */ struct list_head inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */ struct mutex inotify_mutex; /* protects the watches list But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just __u32 i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */ struct hlist_head i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */ That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits. We used that much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set. fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today. inotify locking is incredibly complex. See 8f7b0ba1c8539 as an example of what's been busted since inception. inotify needs to know internal semantics of superblock destruction and unmounting to function. The inode pinning and vfs contortions are horrible. no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks. This means things like f04b30de3 which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOFS can be reverted. There are no longer any allocation rules when using or implementing your own fsnotify listener. fsnotify paves the way for fanotify. In brief fanotify is a notification mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor to the object in question. This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic. Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in mind. The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system. The desktop search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more than a limited number of specific files are of interest. fanotify can provide for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table, LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today. With this patch series fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code. Almost all of which is the socket based user interface. This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement dnotify and inotify_user. Patches exist and will be sent soon after acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement fanotify.

When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period for every cycle, we're always wrong. Solve this by keeping track of the last_period.

This also means we can start sampling at a sample period of 1 without running head-first into the throttle. It relies on sched_clock() to accurately measure the time difference between the overflow NMIs.

This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
