Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL

2018-06-28T17:40:47Z

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

eventfd: only return events requested in poll_mask()

2018-06-15T00:07:38Z

The ->poll_mask() operation has a mask of events that the caller is interested in, but we're returning all events regardless. Change to return only the events the caller is interested in. This fixes aio IO_CMD_POLL returning immediately when called with POLLIN on an eventfd, since an eventfd is almost always ready for a write. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: add do_eventfd() helper; remove internal call to sys_eventfd()

2018-04-02T18:15:39Z

Using this helper removes an in-kernel call to the sys_eventfd() syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

eventfd: fold eventfd_ctx_get() into eventfd_ctx_fileget()

2018-01-06T18:47:20Z

eventfd_ctx_get() is not used outside of eventfd.c, so unexport it and fold it into eventfd_ctx_fileget(). (eventfd_ctx_get() was apparently added years ago for KVM irqfd's, but was never used.) Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Al Viro

eventfd: fold eventfd_ctx_read() into eventfd_read()

2018-01-06T18:47:20Z

eventfd_ctx_read() is not used outside of eventfd.c, so unexport it and fold it into eventfd_read(). This slightly simplifies the code and makes it more analogous to eventfd_write(). (eventfd_ctx_read() was apparently added years ago for KVM irqfd's, but was never used.) Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Al Viro

eventfd: convert to use anon_inode_getfd()

2018-01-06T18:47:20Z

Nothing actually calls eventfd_file_create() besides the eventfd2() system call itself. So simplify things by folding it into the system call and using anon_inode_getfd() instead of anon_inode_getfile(). This removes over 40 lines with no change in functionality. (eventfd_file_create() was apparently added years ago for KVM irqfd's, but was never used.) Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Al Viro
