mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation

2013-04-29T22:54:33Z

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order to guarantee stable pages during writeback. Next, for the one user (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there. We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get rid of it.

buffer: add BH_Prio and BH_Meta flags

2013-04-20T23:58:37Z

Add buffer_head flags so that buffer cache writebacks can be marked with the the appropriate request flags, so that metadata blocks can be marked appropriately in blktrace. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function

2013-01-14T14:00:36Z

We want to add a trace point to touch_buffer() but macros and inline functions defined in header files can't have tracing points. Move touch_buffer() to fs/buffer.c and make it a proper function. The new exported function is also declared inline. As most uses of touch_buffer() are inside buffer.c with nilfs2 as the only other user, the effect of this change should be negligible.

vfs: Block mmapped writes while the fs is frozen

2011-05-26T11:26:45Z

We should not allow file modification via mmap while the filesystem is frozen. So block in block_page_mkwrite() while the filesystem is frozen. We cannot do the blocking wait in __block_page_mkwrite() since e.g. ext4 will want to call that function with transaction started in some cases and that would deadlock. But we can at least do the non-blocking reliable check in __block_page_mkwrite() which is the hardest part anyway. We have to check for frozen filesystem with the page marked dirty and under page lock with which we then return from ->page_mkwrite(). Only that way we cannot race with writeback done by freezing code - either we mark the page dirty after the writeback has started, see freezing in progress and block, or writeback will wait for our page lock which is released only when the fault is done and then writeback will writeout and writeprotect the page again.

vfs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing error values back

2011-05-26T11:26:44Z

Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper which does all what block_page_mkwrite() does except that it passes back errors from __block_write_begin / block_commit_write calls. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07Z

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
