* nilfs2: do not pass sbi to functions which can get it from inodeRyusuke Konishi2011-01-104-17/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | This removes argument for passing nilfs_sb_info structure from nilfs_set_file_dirty and nilfs_load_inode_block functions. We can get a pointer to the structure from inodes. [Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>: fix conflict with commit b74c79e99389cd79b31fcc08f82c24e492e63c7e] Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_mount_options structureRyusuke Konishi2011-01-102-11/+3
| | | | | | | Only mount_opt member is used in the nilfs_mount_options structure, and we can simplify it. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: simplify nilfs_mdt_freeze_bufferRyusuke Konishi2011-01-101-14/+12
| | | | | | | | nilfs_page_get_nth_block() function used in nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer() always returns a valid buffer head, so its validity check can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

* nilfs2: fiemap supportRyusuke Konishi2011-01-106-0/+222
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds fiemap to nilfs. Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added. nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks whose physical location has not been determined. nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

* nilfs2: mark buffer heads as delayed until the data is written to diskRyusuke Konishi2011-01-102-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Nilfs does not allocate new blocks on disk until they are actually written to. To implement fiemap, we need to deal with such blocks. To allow successive fiemap patch to distinguish mapped but unallocated regions, this marks buffer heads of those new blocks as delayed and clears the flag after the blocks are written to disk.

* nilfs2: call nilfs_error inside bmap routinesRyusuke Konishi2011-01-105-63/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | Some functions using nilfs bmap routines can wrongly return invalid argument error (i.e. -EINVAL) that bmap returns as an internal code for btree corruption. This fixes the issue by catching and converting the internal EINVAL to EIO and calling nilfs_error function inside bmap routines. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* fs/nilfs2/super.c: Use printf extension %pVJoe Perches2011-01-101-7/+16

| * hfsplus: flush disk caches in sync and fsyncChristoph Hellwig2010-11-234-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Flush the disk cache in fsync and sync to make sure data actually is on disk on completion of these system calls. There is a nobarrier mount option to disable this behaviour. It's slightly misnamed now that barrier actually are gone, but it matches the name used by all major filesystems.

| * hfsplus: optimize fsyncChristoph Hellwig2010-11-236-32/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid doing unessecary work in fsync. Do nothing unless the inode was marked dirty, and only write the various metadata inodes out if they contain any dirty state from this inode. This is archived by adding three new dirty bits to the hfsplus-specific inode which are set in the correct places. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: split up inode flagsChristoph Hellwig2010-11-234-19/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the flags field in the hfsplus inode into an extent_state flag that is locked by the extent_lock, and a new flags field that uses atomic bitops. The second will grow more flags in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: write up fsync for directoriesChristoph Hellwig2010-11-233-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsync is supposed to not just work on regular files, but also on directories. Fortunately enough hfsplus_file_fsync works just fine for directories, so we can just wire it up. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: simplify fsyncChristoph Hellwig2010-11-231-21/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove lots of code we don't need from fsync, we just need to call ->write_inode on the inode if it's dirty, for which sync_inode_metadata is a lot more efficient than write_inode_now, and we need to write out the various metadata inodes, which we now do explicitly instead of by calling ->sync_fs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: avoid useless work in hfsplus_sync_fsChristoph Hellwig2010-11-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason to write out the metadata inodes or volume headers during a non-blocking sync, as we are almost guaranteed to dirty them again during the inode writeouts. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: make sure sync writes out all metadataChristoph Hellwig2010-11-231-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hfsplus stores all metadata except for the volume headers in special inodes. While these are marked hashed and periodically written out by the flusher threads, we can't rely on that for sync. For the case of a data integrity sync the VM has life-lock avoidance code that avoids writing inodes again that are redirtied during the sync, which is something that can happen easily for hfsplus. So make sure we explicitly write out the metadata inodes at the beginning of hfsplus_sync_fs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: use raw bio access for partition tablesChristoph Hellwig2010-11-232-70/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch the hfsplus partition table reding for cdroms to use our bio helpers. Again we don't rely on any caching in the buffer_heads, and this gets rid of the last buffer_head use in hfsplus. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: use raw bio access for the volume headersChristoph Hellwig2010-11-233-88/+131
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hfsplus backup volume header is located two blocks from the end of the device. In case of device sizes that are not 4k aligned this means we can't access it using buffer_heads when using the default 4k block size. Switch to using raw bios to read/write all buffer headers. We were not relying on any caching behaviour of the buffer heads anyway. Additionally always read in the backup volume header during mount to verify that we can actually read it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: always use hfsplus_sync_fs to write the volume headerChristoph Hellwig2010-11-231-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove opencoded writing of the volume header in hfsplus_fill_super and hfsplus_put_super and offload it to hfsplus_sync_fs. In the put_super case this means we only write the superblock once instead of twice. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: silence a few debug printksChristoph Hellwig2010-11-234-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turn a few noisy debug printks that show up during xfstests into complied out debug print statements. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
| * hfsplus: fix option parsing during remountChristoph Hellwig2010-11-073-5/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hfsplus only actually uses the force option during remount, but it uses the full option parser with a fake superblock to do so. This means remount will fail if any nls option is set (which happens frequently with older mount tools), even if it is the same. Fix this by adding a simpler version of the parser that only parses the force option for remount. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>

We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

| * | | | | | fs: implement faster dentry memcmpNick Piggin2011-01-071-9/+3

So replace it with an open-coded byte comparison. This increases code size by 8 bytes in the critical __d_lookup_rcu function, but the speedup is huge, averaging 10 runs of each: git diff st user sys elapsed CPU before 1.15 2.57 3.82 97.1 after 1.14 2.35 3.61 96.8 git diff mt user sys elapsed CPU before 1.27 3.85 1.46 349 after 1.26 3.54 1.43 333 Elapsed time for single threaded git diff at 95.0% confidence: -0.21 +/- 0.01 -5.45% +/- 0.24% It's -0.66% +/- 0.06% elapsed time on my Opteron, so rep cmp costs on the fam10h seem to be relatively smaller, but there is still a win.

There was no measurable slowdown in the single file stat case, or the creat case (where negative dentries would be common). Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Use existing inode->i_lock for this.

This could easily be extended to put acls under RCU and check them under seqlock, if need be. But this implementation is enough to show the rcu-walk aware permissions code for path lookups is working, and will handle cases where there are no ACLs or ACLs in just the final element. This patch implicity converts tmpfs to rcu-aware permission check. Subsequent patches onvert ext*, xfs, and, btrfs. Each of these uses acl/permission code in a different way, so convert them all to provide templates and proof of concept. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
