vfs: ignore error on forced remount

2011-11-02T11:53:42Z

On emergency remount we want to force MS_RDONLY on the super block even if ->remount_fs() failed for some reason. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Tested-by: Toshiyuki Okajima Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c

2011-11-01T00:30:49Z

The callback must not return -1 when nr_to_scan is zero. Fix the bug in fs/super.c and add this requirement to the callback specification. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Cc: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: increase shrinker batch size

2011-07-21T00:47:41Z

Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

superblock: add filesystem shrinker operations

2011-07-21T00:47:41Z

Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Al Viro

superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructure

2011-07-21T00:47:10Z

With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Al Viro

superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.c

2011-07-20T05:44:38Z

The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

inode: move to per-sb LRU locks

2011-07-20T05:44:36Z

With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblock

2011-07-20T05:44:35Z

The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.
