2010-08-09mbcache: Remove unused featuresAndreas Gruenbacher1-7/+5
The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes, but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to support only that case. There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as well.

2010-08-09remove inode_setattrChristoph Hellwig1-4/+12
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

2010-08-09introduce __block_write_beginChristoph Hellwig1-7/+4
Split up the block_write_begin implementation - __block_write_begin is a new trivial wrapper for block_prepare_write that always takes an already allocated page and can be either called from block_write_begin or filesystem code that already has a page allocated.

Move the call to vmtruncate to get rid of accessive blocks to the callers in prepearation of the new truncate calling sequence. This was only done for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant was not needed anyway.

2010-07-26direct-io: move aio_complete into ->end_ioChristoph Hellwig1-3/+7
Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly. This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback prototype even more complicated.

2010-05-27rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-05-24quota: move unmount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig1-0/+2
Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting filesystems. This means filesystems with their own quota handling can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling. Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

2010-05-17ext4: Clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag only when warrantedTheodore Ts'o1-3/+15
Dimitry Monakhov discovered an edge case where it was possible for the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag could get cleared unnecessarily. This is true; I have a test case that can be exercised via downloading and decompressing the file: wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-testcases/eofblocks-fl-test-case.img.bz2 bunzip2 eofblocks-fl-test-case.img dd if=/dev/zero of=eofblocks-fl-test-case.img bs=1k seek=17925 bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc However, triggering it in real life is highly unlikely since it requires an extremely fragmented sparse file with a hole in exactly the right place in the extent tree. (It actually took quite a bit of work to generate this test case.) Still, it's nice to get even extreme corner cases to be correct, so this patch makes sure that we don't clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL incorrectly even in this corner case.

2010-05-16ext4: Avoid crashing on NULL ptr dereference on a filesystem errorTheodore Ts'o1-4/+5
If the EOFBLOCK_FL flag is set when it should not be and the inode is zero length, then eh_entries is zero, and ex is NULL, so dereferencing ex to print ex->ee_block causes a kernel OOPS in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). On top of that, the error message which is printed isn't very helpful. So we fix this by printing something more explanatory which doesn't involve trying to print ex->ee_block.

2010-05-16ext4: Use our own write_cache_pages()Theodore Ts'o1-22/+119
Make a copy of write_cache_pages() for the benefit of ext4_da_writepages(). This allows us to simplify the code some, and will allow us to further customize the code in future patches. There are some nasty hacks in write_cache_pages(), which Linus has (correctly) characterized as vile. I've just copied it into write_cache_pages_da(), without trying to clean those bits up lest I break something in the ext4's delalloc implementation, which is a bit fragile right now. This will allow Dave Chinner to clean up write_cache_pages() in mm/page-writeback.c, without worrying about breaking ext4. Eventually write_cache_pages_da() will go away when I rewrite ext4's delayed allocation and create a general ext4_writepages() which is used for all of ext4's writeback. Until now this is the lowest risk way to clean up the core write_cache_pages() function. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>

2010-05-16ext4: check for a good block group before loading buddy pagesCurt Wohlgemuth2-13/+58
This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after* we've done a sanity check on the block group. With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we have check again after we lock the block group).

2010-05-16ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadataEric Sandeen2-48/+26
Because we can badly over-reserve metadata when we calculate worst-case, it complicates things for quota, since we must reserve and then claim later, retry on EDQUOT, etc. Quota is also a generally smaller pool than fs free blocks, so this over-reservation hurts more, and more often. I'm of the opinion that it's not the worst thing to allow metadata to push a user slightly over quota. This simplifies the code and avoids the false quota rejections that result from worst-case speculation. This patch stops the speculative quota-charging for worst-case metadata requirements, and just charges quota when the blocks are allocated at writeout. It also is able to remove the try-again loop on EDQUOT. This patch has been tested indirectly by running the xfstests suite with a hack to mount & enable quota prior to the test. I also did a more specific test of fragmenting freespace and then doing a large delalloc write under quota; quota stopped me at the right amount of file IO, and then the writeout generated enough metadata (due to the fragmentation) that it put me slightly over quota, as expected.

2010-05-16ext4: don't scan/accumulate more pages than mballoc will allocateEric Sandeen1-0/+9
There was a bug reported on RHEL5 that a 10G dd on a 12G box had a very, very slow sync after that. At issue was the loop in write_cache_pages scanning all the way to the end of the 10G file, even though the subsequent call to mpage_da_submit_io would only actually write a smallish amt; then we went back to the write_cache_pages loop ... wasting tons of time in calling __mpage_da_writepage for thousands of pages we would just revisit (many times) later. Upstream it's not such a big issue for sys_sync because we get to the loop with a much smaller nr_to_write, which limits the loop. However, talking with Aneesh he realized that fsync upstream still gets here with a very large nr_to_write and we face the same problem. This patch makes mpage_add_bh_to_extent stop the loop after we've accumulated 2048 pages, by setting mpd->io_done = 1; which ultimately causes the write_cache_pages loop to break. Repeating the test with a dirty_ratio of 80 (to leave something for fsync to do), I don't see huge IO performance gains, but the reduction in cpu usage is striking: 80% usage with stock, and 2% with the below patch. Instrumenting the loop in write_cache_pages clearly shows that we are wasting time here. Eventually we need to change mpage_da_map_pages() also submit its I/O to the block layer, subsuming mpage_da_submit_io(), and then change it call ext4_get_blocks() multiple times.

The kernel does not like this: ================================================ [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ] ------------------------------------------------ lvcreate/1075 is leaving the kernel with locks still held! 1 lock held by lvcreate/1075: #0: (&journal->j_barrier){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811c6214>] jbd2_journal_lock_updates+0xe1/0xf0 Use vfs_check_frozen() added to ext4_journal_start_sb() and ext4_force_commit() instead.
