| * locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classesPeter Zijlstra2008-12-291-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix lockdep false positives Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects -- that is, per instantiation site. The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.

* | percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variableEric Dumazet2009-01-061-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS. A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add()) We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically. We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: David S.

After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

* percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()Mingming Cao2008-10-091-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | percpu_counter_sum_and_set() and percpu_counter_sum() is the same except the former updates the global counter after accounting. Since we are taking the fbc->lock to calculate the precise value of the counter in percpu_counter_sum() anyway, it should simply set fbc->count too, as the percpu_counter_sum_and_set() does. This patch merges these two interfaces into one.

* percpu_counter: new function percpu_counter_sum_and_setMingming Cao2008-07-111-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time. percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate. delayed allocation need a more accurate accounting, but using percpu_counter_sum_positive() is frequently is quite expensive. This patch added a new function to update center counter when sum per-cpu counter, to increase the accurate rate for next percpu_counter_read() and require less calling expensive percpu_counter_sum().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh spotted that some code does: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong) which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number. Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is: percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo) is equal to: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo); Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiersAndrew Morton2007-07-161-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the exhaustive percpu_counter_sum(). But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the counter's central count. We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time. (I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is inaccurate?)

* [PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 ↵Mingming Cao2006-06-231-18/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+107
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
