* fs: scale files_lockNick Piggin2010-08-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fs: scale files_lock Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists, protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists (although this is very slow). One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list. However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N cachelines than with 1. A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case. Testing results: On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it. Booting: locks= 25049 cpu-hits= 23174 (92.5%) node-hits= 23945 (95.6%) kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%) dbench 64 locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%) So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time. It remains within the same node 95% of the time. Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile. throughput 2.6.34-rc2 24.5 +patch 24.9 us sys idle IO wait (in %) 2.6.34-rc2 51.25 28.25 17.25 3.25 +patch 53.75 18.5 19 8.75 So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and slightly higher throughput. Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks. That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

* lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locksNick Piggin2010-08-181-0/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to: - Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data. - Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data). Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use case. Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.

* tty: fix fu_list abuseNick Piggin2010-08-182-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tty: fix fu_list abuse tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling. If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose). This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean". Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug. The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors. This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers. [ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether that will ever be worth implementing. ] Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlockNick Piggin2010-08-181-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small. Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a real parallelism increase. Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical path lookup fastpath. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* remove SWRITE* I/O typesChristoph Hellwig2010-08-182-9/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock. Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which this patch fixes. In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for compound buffers.

Coded according to an outline from Grant Likely; here is his specification (accidentally swapped function names corrected): It requires 3 things to be added to struct spi_master. - 1 Mutex - 1 spin lock - 1 flag. The mutex protects spi_sync, and provides sleeping "for free" The spinlock protects the atomic spi_async call. The flag is set when the lock is obtained, and checked while holding the spinlock in spi_async(). If the flag is checked, then spi_async() must fail immediately. The current runtime API looks like this: spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*); spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*); The API needs to be extended to this: spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*) spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*) spi_bus_lock(struct spi_master*) /* although struct spi_device* might be easier */ spi_bus_unlock(struct spi_master*) spi_async_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*) spi_sync_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*) Drivers can only call the last two if they already hold the spi_master_lock(). spi_bus_lock() obtains the mutex, obtains the spin lock, sets the flag, and releases the spin lock before returning. It doesn't even need to sleep while waiting for "in-flight" spi_transactions to complete because its purpose is to guarantee no additional transactions are added. It does not guarantee that the bus is idle. spi_bus_unlock() clears the flag and releases the mutex, which will wake up any waiters. The difference between spi_async() and spi_async_locked() is that the locked version bypasses the check of the lock flag. Both versions need to obtain the spinlock. The difference between spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() is that spi_sync() must hold the mutex while enqueuing a new transfer. spi_sync_locked() doesn't because the mutex is already held. Note however that spi_sync must *not* continue to hold the mutex while waiting for the transfer to complete, otherwise only one transfer could be queued up at a time! Almost no code needs to be written. The current spi_async() and spi_sync() can probably be renamed to __spi_async() and __spi_sync() so that spi_async(), spi_sync(), spi_async_locked() and spi_sync_locked() can just become wrappers around the common code. spi_sync() is protected by a mutex because it can sleep spi_async() needs to be protected with a flag and a spinlock because it can be called atomically and must not sleep Signed-off-by: Ernst Schwab <eschwab@online.de> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: use spin_lock_irqsave()] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Tested-by: Matt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org> Tested-by: Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>

That default MTU is calculated from the size of two DH5 packets, minus ACL and L2CAP b-frame header overhead. ERTM is used with newer basebands that typically support larger 3-DH5 packets, and i-frames and s-frames have more header overhead. With clean RF conditions, basebands will typically attempt to use 1021-byte 3-DH5 packets for maximum throughput. Adjusting for 2 bytes of ACL headers plus 10 bytes of worst-case L2CAP headers yields 1009 bytes of payload. This PDU size imposes less overhead for header bytes and gives the baseband the option to choose 3-DH5 packets, but is small enough for ERTM traffic to interleave well with other L2CAP or SCO data. 672-byte payloads do not allow the most efficient over-the-air packet choice, and cannot achieve maximum throughput over BR/EDR.

This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing between the two types.) Allowed md->type transitions: DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear. Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful for memory error handler. Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is: - for shared hugepage: we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache, but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount. - for privately mapped hugepage: we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage. This patch solves these problems. This patch include the bug fix given by commit 23be7468e8, so reverts it. Dependency: "hugetlb: move definition of is_vm_hugetlb_page() to hugepage_inline.h" ChangeLog since May 24. - create hugetlb_inline.h and move is_vm_hugetlb_index() in it. - move functions setting up anon_vma for hugepage into mm/rmap.c.
