2012-03-27mtd: nand: differentiate 1- vs. 2-byte writes when marking bad blocksBrian Norris
It seems that we have developed a bad-block-marking "feature" out of pure laziness: "We write two bytes per location, so we dont have to mess with 16 bit access." It's relatively simple to write a 1 byte at a time on x8 devices and 2 bytes at a time on x16 devices, so let's do it.

2012-03-27mtd: nand: erase block before marking badBrian Norris
Many NAND flash systems (especially those with MLC NAND) cannot be reliably written twice in a row. For instance, when marking a bad block, the block may already have data written to it, and so we should attempt to erase the block before writing a bad block marker to its OOB region. We can ignore erase failures, since the block may be bad such that it cannot be erased properly; we still attempt to write zeros to its spare area.

2012-03-26xfs: Account log unmount transaction correctlyDave Chinner
There have been a few reports of this warning appearing recently: XFS (dm-4): xlog_space_left: head behind tail tail_cycle = 129, tail_bytes = 20163072 GH cycle = 129, GH bytes = 20162880 The common cause appears to be lots of freeze and unfreeze cycles, and the output from the warnings indicates that we are leaking around 8 bytes of log space per freeze/unfreeze cycle. When we freeze the filesystem, we write an unmount record and that uses xlog_write directly - a special type of transaction, effectively. What it doesn't do, however, is correctly account for the log space it uses. The unmount record writes an 8 byte structure with a special magic number into the log, and the space this consumes is not accounted for in the log ticket tracking the operation. Hence we leak 8 bytes every unmount record that is written. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>
2012-03-26xfs: don't cache inodes read through bulkstatDave Chinner
When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow. Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away. Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

2012-03-26Btrfs: adjust the write_lock_level as we unlockChris Mason
btrfs_search_slot sometimes needs write locks on high levels of the tree. It remembers the highest level that needs a write lock and will use that for all future searches through the tree in a given call. But, very often we'll just cow the top level or the level below and we won't really need write locks on the root again after that.

2012-03-26Btrfs: ensure an entire eb is written at onceJosef Bacik
This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers. Previously we could exit writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently. Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers, this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree.

2012-03-26setlocalversion: Use "grep -q" instead of piping output to "read dummy"Roland Dreier
In some circumstances (eg when running a build in an emacs shell buffer), I get a spew of messages like grep: writing output: Broken pipe from setlocalversion, because the "read" subshell apparently exits as soon as it reads one line and gives EPIPE to grep. It's not clear to me why this way of writing the check was used instead of just using grep -q to suppress output, but unless there is some deep reason I don't know, this way looks cleaner to me anyway, and gets rid of the ugly message spew. (I double checked at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/utilities/grep.html and "grep -q" is specified in POSIX / SuS, so hopefully even people cross-compiling the kernel on some bizarre host OS can't complain about this change) Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2012-03-26Btrfs: introduce mark_extent_buffer_accessedJosef Bacik
Because an eb can have multiple pages we need to make sure that all pages within the eb are markes as accessed, since releasepage can be called against any page in the eb. This will keep us from possibly evicting hot eb's when we're doing larger than pagesize eb's. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-03-26Btrfs: introduce free_extent_buffer_staleJosef Bacik
Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer necessary just sitting around in memory. So instead of evicting these pages, we could end up evicting things we actually care about. Thus we have free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks. This will make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be released by releasepage. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-03-26Btrfs: only use the existing eb if it's count isn't 0Josef Bacik
We can run into a problem where we find an eb for our existing page already on the radix tree but it has a ref count of 0. It hasn't yet been removed by RCU yet so this can cause issues where we will use the EB after free. So do atomic_inc_not_zero on the exists->refs and if it is zero just do synchronize_rcu() and try again. We won't have to worry about new allocators coming in since they will block on the page lock at this point. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-03-26Btrfs: set page->private to the ebJosef Bacik
We spend a lot of time looking up extent buffers from pages when we could just store the pointer to the eb the page is associated with in page->private. This patch does just that, and it makes things a little simpler and reduces a bit of CPU overhead involved with doing metadata IO. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-03-26Btrfs: allow metadata blocks larger than the page sizeChris Mason
A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the page cache handling. This fixes the code to properly support large metadata blocks again. Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels can't mount it. This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves. You get a single block size for all tree blocks. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2012-03-26PM / Runtime: don't forget to wake up waitqueue on failureAlan Stern
This patch (as1535) fixes a bug in the runtime PM core. When a runtime suspend attempt completes, whether successfully or not, the device's power.wait_queue is supposed to be signalled. But this doesn't happen in the failure pathway of rpm_suspend() when another autosuspend attempt is rescheduled. As a result, a task can get stuck indefinitely on the wait queue (I have seen this happen in testing). The patch fixes the problem by moving the wake_up_all() call up near the start of the failure code.

Clock stretching is not supposed to last long, so asking to be rescheduled while waiting for the clock line to be released by a slave makes little sense. Odds are that the clock line will long have been released when we run again, so we will have lost time and may even get an SMBus timeout because of this. So just busy-wait in that case.
