2012-03-19ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space()Lukas Czerner
This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this. Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new code in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf() to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out. And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code, but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically ext4_ext_remove_space(). This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size. ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space (extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we now use different code path, where this problem does not exist. This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests, plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of it on 1K and 4K file system block size. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-19Merge branch 'dcache-word-accesses'Linus Torvalds
* branch 'dcache-word-accesses': vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine with good unaligned accesses would do). It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%. Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks. Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc). Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle". It's commented, but you do need to really think about the code. Or just consider it black magic. Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.
2012-03-19vfs: get rid of batshit-insane pointless dentry hash calculationsLinus Torvalds
For some odd historical reason, the final mixing round for the dentry cache hash table lookup had an insane "xor with big constant" logic. In two places. The big constant that is being xor'ed is GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME, which is a fairly random-looking number that is designed to be *multiplied* with so that the bits get spread out over a whole long-word. But xor'ing with it is insane. It doesn't really even change the hash - it really only shifts the hash around in the hash table. To make matters worse, the insane big constant is different on 32-bit and 64-bit builds, even though the name hash bits we use are always 32-bit (and the bits from the pointer we mix in effectively are too). It's all total voodoo programming, in other words. Now, some testing and analysis of the hash chains shows that the rest of the hash function seems to be fairly good. It does pick the right bits of the parent dentry pointer, for example, and while it's generally a bad idea to use an xor to mix down the upper bits (because if there is a repeating pattern, the xor can cause "destructive interference"), it seems to not have been a disaster. For example, replacing the hash with the normal "hash_long()" code (that uses the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME constant correctly, btw) actually just makes the hash worse. The hand-picked hash knew which bits of the pointer had the highest entropy, and hash_long() ends up mixing bits less optimally at least in some trivial tests. So the hash function overall seems fine, it just has that really odd "shift result around by a constant xor". So get rid of the silly xor, and replace the down-mixing of the bits with an add instead of an xor that tends to not have the same kind of destructive interference issues. Some stats on the resulting hash chains shows that they look statistically identical before and after, but the code is simpler and no longer makes you go "WTF?". Also, the incoming hash really is just "unsigned int", not a long, and there's no real point to worry about the high 26 bits of the dentry pointer for the 64-bit case, because they are all going to be identical anyway. So also change the hashing to be done in the more natural 'unsigned int' that is the real size of the actual hashed data anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-03-18nfsd: vfs_llseek() with 32 or 64 bit offsets (hashes)Bernd Schubert
Use 32-bit or 64-bit llseek() hashes for directory offsets depending on the NFS version. NFSv2 gets 32-bit hashes only. NOTE: This patch got rather complex as Christoph asked to set the filp->f_mode flag in the open call or immediatly after dentry_open() in nfsd_open() to avoid races. Personally I still do not see a reason for that and in my opinion FMODE_32BITHASH/FMODE_64BITHASH flags could be set nfsd_readdir(), as it follows directly after nfsd_open() without a chance of races.

2012-03-18ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage typeFan Yong
Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek() to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir() and telldir(). However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same entries from the directory repeatedly. Allow ext4 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions. This still needs integration on the NFS side.

2012-03-18Don't limit non-nested epoll pathsJason Baron
Commit 28d82dc1c4ed ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

2012-03-17NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit codeTrond Myklebust
Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code. Bugfixes: - filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg. In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put() can deadlock. - Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written through the MDS. - Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list instead of list_del_init(). - filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't clear the commit lock. Cleanups: - Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case. Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment in common code. - Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg into the pNFS layer from whence they came. - Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.
