| * | fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik2011-07-203-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

| * | fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik2011-07-201-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
| * | vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner2011-07-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 operationsDave Chinner2011-07-201-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Unfortunately, after commit e8665002477f0278f84f898145b1f141ba26ee26 (PM: Allow pm_runtime_suspend() to succeed during system suspend) runtime PM callbacks may be executed concurrently with system suspend/resume callbacks for the same device. The main reason for commit e8665002477f0278f84f898145b1f141ba26ee26 was that some subsystems and device drivers wanted to use runtime PM helpers, pm_runtime_suspend() and pm_runtime_put_sync() in particular, for carrying out the suspend of devices in their .suspend() callbacks. However, as it's been determined recently, there are multiple reasons not to do so, inlcuding: * The caller really doesn't control the runtime PM usage counters, because user space can access them through sysfs and effectively block runtime PM. That means using pm_runtime_suspend() or pm_runtime_get_sync() to suspend devices during system suspend may or may not work. * If a driver calls pm_runtime_suspend() from its .suspend() callback, it causes the subsystem's .runtime_suspend() callback to be executed, which leads to the call sequence: subsys->suspend(dev) driver->suspend(dev) pm_runtime_suspend(dev) subsys->runtime_suspend(dev) recursive from the subsystem's point of view. For some subsystems that may actually work (e.g. the platform bus type), but for some it will fail in a rather spectacular fashion (e.g. PCI). In each case it means a layering violation. * Both the subsystem and the driver can provide .suspend_noirq() callbacks for system suspend that can do whatever the .runtime_suspend() callbacks do just fine, so it really isn't necessary to call pm_runtime_suspend() during system suspend. * The runtime PM's handling of wakeup devices is usually different from the system suspend's one, so .runtime_suspend() may simply be inappropriate for system suspend. * System suspend is supposed to work even if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is unset. * The runtime PM workqueue is frozen before system suspend, so if whatever the driver is going to do during system suspend depends on it, that simply won't work. Still, there is a good reason to allow pm_runtime_resume() to succeed during system suspend and resume (for instance, some subsystems and device drivers may legitimately use it to ensure that their devices are in full-power states before suspending them). Moreover, there is no reason to prevent runtime PM callbacks from being executed in parallel with the system suspend/resume .prepare() and .complete() callbacks and the code removed by commit e8665002477f0278f84f898145b1f141ba26ee26 went too far in this respect. On the other hand, runtime PM callbacks, including .runtime_resume(), must not be executed during system suspend's "late" stage of suspending devices and during system resume's "early" device resume stage. Taking all of the above into consideration, make the PM core acquire a runtime PM reference to every device and resume it if there's a runtime PM resume request pending right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. Make the PM core drop references to all devices right after executing the subsystem-level .resume() callbacks for them. Additionally, make the PM core disable the runtime PM framework for all devices during system suspend, after executing the subsystem-level .suspend() callbacks for them, and enable the runtime PM framework for all devices during system resume, right before executing the subsystem-level .resume() callbacks for them.

For this reason, make the runtime PM helper functions return -EACCES when power.disable_depth is nonzero and ensure that this error code won't be returned by them in any other circumstances. Modify scsi_autopm_get_host() and scsi_autopm_get_device() to check the error code returned by pm_runtime_get_sync() and ignore -EACCES. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Namely, at the kernel level, a struct dev_power_domain object can represent arbitrary set of devices that are mutually dependent power management-wise and need not belong to one hardware power domain. To avoid that confusion, rename struct dev_power_domain to struct dev_pm_domain and rename the related pointers in struct device and struct pm_clk_notifier_block from pwr_domain to pm_domain.
