* isofs: work-around for Rock Ridge+Joliet CDs with empty ISO root directoryOndrej Zary2010-10-271-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | If a CD has both Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions and the ISO root directory is empty, no files are visible. Disable Rock Ridge extensions in this case and use Joliet root directory instead.

| * split invalidate_inodes()Al Viro2010-10-254-6/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pull removal of fsnotify marks into generic_shutdown_super(). Split umount-time work into a new function - evict_inodes().

| * fs: skip I_FREEING inodes in writeback_sb_inodesChristoph Hellwig2010-10-251-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Skip I_FREEING inodes just like I_WILL_FREE and I_NEW when walking the writeback lists. Currenly this can't happen, but once we move from inode_lock to more fine grained locking we can have an inode that's still on the writeback lists but has I_FREEING set, and we absolutely need to skip it here, just like we do for all other inode list walks.

| * fs: inode split IO and LRU listsNick Piggin2010-10-253-37/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

| * fs: switch bdev inode bdi's correctlyDave Chinner2010-10-251-5/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdev inodes can remain dirty even after their last close. Hence the BDI associated with the bdev->inode gets modified duringthe last close to point to the default BDI. However, the bdev inode still needs to be moved to the dirty lists of the new BDI, otherwise it will corrupt the writeback list is was left on. Add a new function bdev_inode_switch_bdi() to move all the bdi state from the old bdi to the new one safely. This is only a temporary measure until the bdev inode<->bdi lifecycle problems are sorted out.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must not call invalidate_inode_buffers in invalidate_list unless the inode can be reclaimed. If we remove the buffer association of a busy inode fsync won't find the buffers anymore. As invalidate_inode_buffers is called from various others sources than umount this actually does matter in practice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause significant parallel inode allocation. Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations. This reduces contention on the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before (i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).

| * fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodesNick Piggin2010-10-252-33/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and cacheline traffic. We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention on LRU updates. This also removes the inode_in_use list, which means we now only have one list for tracking the inode LRU status. This makes it much simpler to split out the LRU list operations under it's own lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation without needing to care about the counters. Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.

[PATCH V4] fs: allow for more than 2^31 files Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing a 32bit value : <quote> We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does: atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks); if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files()) goto out; The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files. files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in fs/file_table.c's files_init(). n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10; files_stat.max_files = n; In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384 (0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553. This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow. </quote> Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t. get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is changed to return a long. unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not strictly needed to address Robin problem.

| * isofs: Fix isofs_get_blocks for 8TB filesJan Kara2010-10-251-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently isofs_get_blocks() was limited to handle only 4TB files on 32-bit architectures because of unnecessary use of iblock variable which was signed long. Just remove the variable. The error messages that were using this variable should have rather used b_off anyway because that is the block we are currently mapping.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __block_write_begin and block_prepare_write are identical except for slightly different calling conventions. Convert all callers to the __block_write_begin calling conventions and drop block_prepare_write. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
