2009-06-11quota: Introduce writeout_quota_sb() (version 4)Jan Kara
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>
2009-06-11quota: cleanup dquota sync functions (version 4)Christoph Hellwig
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.

2009-06-11vfs: Move syncing code from super.c to sync.c (version 4)Jan Kara

2009-06-11vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)Jan Kara
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.

2009-06-11vfs: Make __fsync_super() a static function (version 4)Jan Kara
__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.

2009-06-11vfs: Call ->sync_fs() even if s_dirt is 0 (version 4)Jan Kara
sync_filesystems() has a condition that if wait == 0 and s_dirt == 0, then ->sync_fs() isn't called. This does not really make much sence since s_dirt is generally used by a filesystem to mean that ->write_super() needs to be called. But ->sync_fs() does different things. I even suspect that some filesystems (btrfs?) sets s_dirt just to fool this logic. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-11vfs: Fix sys_sync() and fsync_super() reliability (version 4)Jan Kara
So far, do_sync() called: sync_inodes(0); sync_supers(); sync_filesystems(0); sync_filesystems(1); sync_inodes(1); This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2 and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1). Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced after write_super() / sync_fs() call. The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount / remount read-only. [AV: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-11remove s_async_listChristoph Hellwig
Remove the unused s_async_list in the superblock, a leftover of the broken async inode deletion code that leaked into mainline.

2009-06-11fs: move mark_files_ro into file_table.cnpiggin@suse.de

2009-06-11fs: introduce mnt_clone_writenpiggin@suse.de
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>
2009-06-11fs: mnt_want_write speedupnpiggin@suse.de
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.

2009-06-11Cache root in nameidataAl Viro
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.

2009-06-11Preparations to caching root in path_walk()Al Viro
Split do_path_lookup(), opencode the call from do_filp_open() do_filp_open() is the only caller of do_path_lookup() that cares about root afterwards (it keeps resolving symlinks on O_CREAT path after it'd done LOOKUP_PARENT walk). So when we start caching fs->root in path_walk(), it'll need a different treatment. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-06-11asm-generic: add generic NOMMU versions of some headersArnd Bergmann
Memory management in generic is highly architecture specific, but on NOMMU architectures, it is mostly trivial, so just add a default implementation in asm-generic that applies to all NOMMU architectures.

Evidently, set_rtc_time is supposed to be overridable by architectures that define their own version, but unfortunately, get_rtc_ss would in that case still use the generic version. This makes get_rtc_ss call the real set_rtc_time to let architectures define their own version. The change should fix the "Extended RTC operation" on Alpha, which uses the incorrect get_rtc_ss call. It also allows PowerPC to use the asm-generic/rtc.h file in the future.
