2009-04-09RDS: Fix ordering in a conditionalAndy Grover1-1/+1
Putting the constant first is a supposed "best practice" that actually makes the code harder to read. Thanks to Roland Dreier for finding a bug in this "simple, obviously correct" patch. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-09RDS/IW+IB: Set the RDS_LL_SEND_FULL bit when we're throttled.Steve Wise2-2/+2
The RDS_LL_SEND_FULL bit should be set when we stop transmitted due to flow control. Otherwise the send worker will keep trying as opposed to sleeping until we unthrottle. Saves CPU.

2009-04-09RDS/IW+IB: Set recv ring low water mark to 1/2 full.Steve Wise2-2/+2
Currently the recv ring low water mark is 1/4 the depth. Performance measurements show that this limits iWARP throughput by flow controlling the rds-stress senders. Setting it to 1/2 seems to max the T3 performance. I tried even higher levels but that didn't help and it started to increase the rds thread cpu utilization.

2009-04-07Fix build errors due to CONFIG_BRANCH_TRACER=yLinus Torvalds1-1/+3
The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct to do tracing. That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code: if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) .. because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the 'if' macro. So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements. Use another macro to do it cleanly in just one place. This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all inside that one already-too-horrid macro.

2009-04-07splice: fix deadlock in splicing to fileMiklos Szeredi2-7/+26
There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(), splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write(): - task A calls generic_file_splice_write() - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both pipe->inode and target inode - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is locked first - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait() - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is already held by task A - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as it is already held by task B - ABBA deadlock Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked) must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends are not called with a target which is a pipe.

2009-04-07nilfs2: support nanosecond timestampRyusuke Konishi5-13/+13
After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs, and it turned out to be the cause. Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this purpose without impact for the users. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

2009-04-07nilfs2: introduce secondary super blockRyusuke Konishi8-175/+274
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks. This improves the weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of the partition. This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't exist. The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region, but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added. This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future work.
