Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes. Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires it

2013-02-22T01:22:19+00:00

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave similarly, but see the cover letter for those results. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR

2012-10-09T07:22:17+00:00

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode

2012-10-01T03:04:56+00:00

Commits 5e8830dc85d0 and 41c4d25f78c0 introduced a regression into v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the page cache. This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using the ext4 file system driver. The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get called in some circumstances. Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers, block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling file_update_time() to its caller. This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted with -o nodelalloc. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Cc: KONISHI Ryusuke Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

nilfs2: Convert to new freezing mechanism

2012-07-31T05:45:52+00:00

We change nilfs_page_mkwrite() to provide proper freeze protection for writeable page faults (we must wait for frozen filesystem even if the page is fully mapped). We remove all vfs_check_frozen() checks since they are now handled by the generic code. CC: linux-nilfs@vger.kernel.org CC: KONISHI Ryusuke Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Al Viro

nilfs2: flush disk caches in syncing

2012-06-01T00:49:27+00:00

There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e. nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl. This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent storage on their completion.

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

nilfs2: get rid of private page allocator

2011-05-10T13:21:44+00:00

Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles. A private page allocator was used for this page cloning. But, we no longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely wait for the pages to be written back to disk. So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from nilfs. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi
