At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to.

* pipes: add a "packetized pipe" mode for writingLinus Torvalds2012-04-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that as a special packetized mode. When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer). End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway), and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of the packet. NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF). Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to explicitly support bigger packets some day. The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface, allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.

* Un-inline get_pipe_info() helper functionLinus Torvalds2010-11-281-12/+1

* Export 'get_pipe_info()' to other usersLinus Torvalds2010-11-281-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'. The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes. The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the splice code is using.

* pipe: change /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages to byte sized interfaceJens Axboe2010-06-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size. The proc file is renamed to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* pipe: set lower and upper limit on max pages in the pipe page arrayJens Axboe2010-05-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | We need at least two to guarantee proper POSIX behaviour, so never allow a smaller limit than that. Also expose a /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages sysctl file that allows root to define a sane upper limit. Make it default to 16 times the default size, which is 16 pages.

* pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipesJens Axboe2010-05-211-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds F_GETPIPE_SZ and F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl() actions for growing and shrinking the size of a pipe and adjusts pipe.c and splice.c (and relay and network splice) usage to work with these larger (or smaller) pipes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* splice: implement default splice_read methodMiklos Szeredi2009-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read. Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.

* splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi2009-04-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code. This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel.

* splice: abstract out actor dataJens Axboe2007-07-101-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file. So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top of that.

* [PATCH] reorder struct pipe_buf_operationsEric Dumazet2006-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs) The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets have smaller instruction lengths. Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure. # size vmlinux.pre vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3268989 664356 492196 4425541 438745 vmlinux.pre 3268765 664356 492196 4425317 438665 vmlinux So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine.

* [PATCH] splice: fix page LRU accountingJens Axboe2006-05-021-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it, however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU list or not.

* [PATCH] vmsplice: allow user to pass in gift pagesJens Axboe2006-05-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | If SPLICE_F_GIFT is set, the user is basically giving this pages away to the kernel. That means we can steal them for eg page cache uses instead of copying it.

* [PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user spaceJens Axboe2006-05-011-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic() instead. lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing.

* [PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operationJens Axboe2006-05-011-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now, since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste of time doing it. Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

And as a cleanup on that: - Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted.

* [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()Jens Axboe2006-04-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference. Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the input pipe data. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | By cleaning up the writeback logic (killing write_one_page() and the manual set_page_dirty()), we can get rid of ->stolen inside the pipe_buffer and just keep it local in pipe_to_file(). This also adds dirty page balancing logic and O_SYNC handling. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flagLinus Torvalds2006-04-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations nonblocking. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
