* mtd: block2mtd: throttle writes by calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited.NeilBrown2012-12-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If you create a block2mtd device that is larger than main memory, and write to all of it, then lots of pages will be dirtied but they will never be flushed out as nothing calls any variant of balance_dirty_pages. It would be nice to call set_page_dirty_balance(), but that isn't exported, so just call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() directly.

* mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writevGabor Juhos2012-06-011-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'mtd_writev' interface calls the function assigned to the '_write' field of a given mtd device if that is not NULL. The block2mtd driver sets the '_writev' field to the 'mtd_writev' function itself and thus causes a endless loop. This is caused by 1dbebd32562b3c2caeca35960e5cb00bfcc12900 (mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usage). Remove the assignment from the block2mtd driver to fix the issue.

| | | | | | | | | | | In many places in drivers we verify for the zero length, but this is very inconsistent across drivers. This is obviously the right thing to do, though.

* mtd: block2mtd: initialize writebufsizeArtem Bityutskiy2012-03-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The writebufsize concept was introduce by commit "0e4ca7e mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct" and it represents the maximum amount of data the device writes to the media at a time. This is an important parameter for UBIFS which is used during recovery and which basically defines how big a corruption caused by a power cut can be. However, we forgot to set this parameter for block2mtd. Set it to PAGE_SIZE because this is actually the amount of data we write at a time.

* mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functionsArtem Bityutskiy2012-03-271-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix: mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob ... The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following: 1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users 2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes less likely that people will use them directly 3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners spot the big API change and amend them.

| * mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usageArtem Bityutskiy2012-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the 'mtd_writev()' function more usable and logical. We first teach it to fall-back to the 'default_mtd_writev()' function if the MTD driver does not define its own '->writev()' method. Then we make block2mtd and JFFS2 just 'mtd_writev()' instead of 'default_mtd_writev()' function. This means we can now stop exporting 'default_mtd_writev()' and instead, export 'mtd_writev()'. This is much cleaner and more logical, as well as allows us to get read of another direct 'mtd->writev' access in JFFS2.

* block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their usersTejun Heo2010-11-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

* block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive accessTejun Heo2010-11-131-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

* mtd: fix bdev exclusive open bugs in block2mtd::add_device()Tejun Heo2010-11-131-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two bdev exclusive open bugs. * open_bdev_exclusive() must not be called with NULL holder. Use dev as the holder. * open_by_devnum() doesn't open the bdev exclusively but block2mtd_free_device() always assumes it. Explicitly claim the bdev.

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* | mm: make read_cache_page synchronousNick Piggin2007-05-071-4/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page.

* [PATCH] [MTD] block2mtd: remove readahead codeJoern Engel2007-02-201-53/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Over the years there was a slow trickle of complaints against the readahead code. Most of them concerned performance, Peter Zijlstra stumbled over it when working unrelated changes and I believe there was an actual bug report. Oh, Andrew Morton also complained about duplicating code from mm/readahead.c. It is just not worth it. On flash media like usb sticks, readahead will make things go slow - very slow. On spinning disks, readahead may be a win, but this is definitely not the place to add it. Signed-off-by: Jörn Engel <joern@lazybastard.org>

* block2mtd.c: Make kernel boot command line arguments work (try 4)Ville Herva2006-07-151-30/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to pass kernel command line arguments to block2mtd at boot-time does not work currently. block2mtd_setup() is called so early that kmalloc() fails nevermind being able to do open_bdev_excl() (which requires rootfs to be mounted. This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage, and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl() fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than 80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed. With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2 as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this: root=/dev/mtdblock0 append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536" (Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev"). Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the global array is marked as __initdata. Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed. Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot open device ""' Signed-off-by: Ville Herva <vherva@vianova.fi> Acked-by: Jörn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

* mtd: improve parameter parsing for block2mtdJoern Engel2006-04-191-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expand the parameter parsing for block2mtd. It now accepts: Ki, Mi, Gi - the official prefixes for binary multiples, see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html, ki - mistake on my side and analog to "k" for decimal multiples, KiB, MiB, GiB - for people that prefer to add a "B" for byte, kiB - combination of the above. There were complaints about not accepting "k" for 1024. This has long been common practice, but is known to lead to confusion. Hence the new SI units and hence block2mtd only accepts units that cannot be confused with decimal units. Diverging from common practice doesn't always please people, even if the change is for the better.
