mm: redefine address_space.assoc_mapping

2012-12-12T01:22:26Z

Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*. By this approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space association with other data structures through ->private_data. Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect its new name and type change (->private_data). Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: "Michael S.

writeback: put unused inodes to LRU after writeback completion

2012-11-27T01:41:24Z

Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread") removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU (iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again. The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the problem: for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do mkdir $i for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do touch $i/$j echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches done done then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again. We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree

2012-10-09T07:22:39Z

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro: "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes. Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not* dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.

fs: Skip atime update on frozen filesystem

2012-07-31T05:45:38Z

It is unexpected to block reading of frozen filesystem because of atime update. Also handling blocking on frozen filesystem because of atime update would make locking more complex than it already is. So just skip atime update when filesystem is frozen like we skip it when filesystem is remounted read-only.

fs: Add freezing handling to mnt_want_write() / mnt_drop_write()

2012-07-31T05:40:38Z

Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well. For the few cases that are really interested only in remount-ro protection provide new function variants. BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897421 Tested-by: Kamal Mostafa Tested-by: Peter M.

Pull large btrfs update from Chris Mason: "This pull request is very large, and the two main features in here have been under testing/devel for quite a while. We have subvolume quotas from the strato developers. This enables full tracking of how many blocks are allocated to each subvolume (and all snapshots) and you can set limits on a per-subvolume basis. You can also create quota groups and toss multiple subvolumes into a big group. It's everything you need to be a web hosting company and give each user their own subvolume. The userland side of the quotas is being refreshed, they'll send out details on where to grab it soon. Next is the kernel side of btrfs send/receive from Alexander Block. This leverages the same infrastructure as the quota code to figure out relationships between blocks and their owners. It can then compute the difference between two snapshots and sends the diffs in a neutral format into userland. The basic model: create a snapshot send that snapshot as the initial backup make changes create a second snapshot send the incremental as a backup delete the first snapshot (use the second snapshot for the next incremental) The receive portion is all in userland, and in the 'next' branch of my btrfs-progs repo. There's still some work to do in terms of optimizing the send side from kernel to userland. The really important part is figuring out how two snapshots are different, and this is where we are concentrating right now. The initial send of a dataset is a little slower than tar, but the incremental sends are dramatically faster than what rsync can do. On top of all of that, we have a nice queue of fixes, cleanups and optimizations." Fix up trivial modify/del conflict in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c Also fix up semantic conflict in fs/btrfs/send.c: the interface to dentry_open() changed in commit 765927b2d508 ("switch dentry_open() to struct path, make it grab references itself"), and since it now grabs whatever references it needs, we should no longer do the mntget() on the mnt (and we need to dput() the dentry reference we took). * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (65 commits) Btrfs: uninit variable fixes in send/receive Btrfs: introduce BTRFS_IOC_SEND for btrfs send/receive Btrfs: add btrfs_compare_trees function Btrfs: introduce subvol uuids and times Btrfs: make iref_to_path non static Btrfs: add a barrier before a waitqueue_active check Btrfs: call the ordered free operation without any locks held Btrfs: Check INCOMPAT flags on remount and add helper function Btrfs: add helper for tree enumeration btrfs: allow cross-subvolume file clone Btrfs: improve multi-thread buffer read Btrfs: make btrfs's allocation smoothly with preallocation Btrfs: lock the transition from dirty to writeback for an eb Btrfs: fix potential race in extent buffer freeing Btrfs: don't return true in releasepage unless we actually freed the eb Btrfs: suppress printk() if all device I/O stats are zero Btrfs: remove unwanted printk() for btrfs device I/O stats Btrfs: rewrite BTRFS_SETGET_FUNCS Btrfs: zero unused bytes in inode item Btrfs: kill free_space pointer from inode structure ...

Btrfs: don't update atime on RO subvolumes

2012-07-23T19:41:38Z

Before the update_time inode operation was indroduced, it was not possible to prevent updates of atime on RO subvolumes. VFS was only able to check for RO on the mount, but did not know anything about btrfs subvolumes. btrfs_update_time does now check if the root is RO and skip updating of times.
