* 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.

* fs: fix buffer invalidation in invalidate_listChristoph Hellwig2010-10-251-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. While at it change the loop to a more natural form and remove the WARN_ON for I_NEW, wich we already tested a few lines above.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use dget_parent instead of opencoding it. This simplifies the code, but more importanly prepares for the more complicated locking for a parent dget in the dcache scale patch series. It means we do grab a reference to the parent now if need to be watched, but not with the specified mask. If this turns out to be a problem we'll have to revisit it, but for now let's keep as much as possible dcache internals inside dcache.[ch].

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.

| * exofs: Set i_mapping->backing_dev_info anywayBoaz Harrosh2010-10-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Though it has been promised that inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info is not used and the supporting code is fine. Until the pointer will default to NULL, I'd rather it points to the correct thing regardless. At least for future infrastructure coder it is a clear indication of where are the key points that inodes are initialized. I know because it took me time to find this out.
