git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4 Pull ext4 regression fixes from Ted Ts'o: "This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen; they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload, but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close to zero. I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request.

2012-04-12Btrfs: use commit root when loading free space cacheJosef Bacik2-10/+3
A user reported that booting his box up with btrfs root on 3.4 was way slower than on 3.3 because I removed the ideal caching code. It turns out that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading the free space cache. The user reported this fixed the slowness.

2012-04-10GFS2: Allow caching of rindex glockBob Peterson1-2/+2
This patch allows caching of the rindex glock. We were previously setting the GL_NOCACHE bit when the glock was released. That forced the rindex inode to be invalidated, which caused us to re-read rindex at the next access. However, it caused the glock to be unnecessarily bounced around the cluster. This patch allows the glock to remain cached, but it still causes the rindex to be re-read once it has been written to by gfs2_grow. Ben and I have tested single-node gfs2_grow cases and I've tested clustered gfs2_grow cases on my four-node cluster.

2012-04-06Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usableLinus Torvalds1-32/+3
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

2012-04-05tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() onceEric Dumazet1-1/+4
commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage() Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

2012-04-05Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)Linus Torvalds7-40/+49
Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA
2012-04-05simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()Stephen Boyd3-26/+5
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: <smpl> @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-04-05libfs: add simple_open()Stephen Boyd1-0/+8
debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file ops. Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

2012-04-05hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing moduleHillf Danton1-1/+0
It was introduced by d1d5e05ffdc1 ("hugetlbfs: return error code when initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea. Quoted comments from Al: "Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong; it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad example. Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with that we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that type be damned." So remove it.

This allocation can be as large as 64k. As David points out, "falling back to vmalloc here is much better solution than failing to retreive the attribute - it will work no matter how fragmented memory gets. That means we don't get incomplete backups occurring after days or months of uptime and successful backups".

2012-04-05proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAAVasiliy Kulikov1-4/+5
The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot time. So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored because ->s_root is already initialized. As a consequence, "mount -o <options>" will ignore the options. The only way to change mount options is "mount -o remount,<options>". To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.
