There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter. This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space. The fix is to only refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer. This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs. Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running postmark, with them this issue no longer arises.

Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock. The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction. This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does not then we know we didn't use it. That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.

Currently fdatasync is identical to fsync in ext3. I think fdatasync should skip journal flush in data=ordered and data=writeback mode when it overwrites to already-instantiated blocks on HDD. When I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag is not set, fdatasync should skip journal writeout because this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates. Following patch is the same approach of ext2's fsync code(ext2_sync_file). I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=128 --max-requests=50000 --test=fileio --file-total-size=128G --file-test-mode=rndwr --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run The result on ext3 was: -2.6.24 Operations performed: 0 Read, 50080 Write, 59600 Other = 109680 Total Read 0b Written 782.5Mb Total transferred 782.5Mb (12.116Mb/sec) 775.45 Requests/sec executed Test execution summary: total time: 64.5814s total number of events: 50080 total time taken by event execution: 3713.9836 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0742s max: 0.9375s approx. 95 percentile: 0.2901s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 391.2500/23.26 execution time (avg/stddev): 29.0155/1.99 -2.6.24-patched Operations performed: 0 Read, 50009 Write, 61596 Other = 111605 Total Read 0b Written 781.39Mb Total transferred 781.39Mb (16.419Mb/sec) 1050.83 Requests/sec executed Test execution summary: total time: 47.5900s total number of events: 50009 total time taken by event execution: 2934.5768 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0587s max: 0.8938s approx. 95 percentile: 0.1993s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 390.6953/22.64 execution time (avg/stddev): 22.9264/1.17 Filesystem I/O throughput was improved.

If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext2 calls ext2_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone blocks as in use to make sure retry don't pick them again System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode table.

MD drivers use one printk() call to print 2 log messages and the second line may be prefixed by a TAB character. It may also output a trailing space before newline. klogd (I think) turns the TAB character into the 2 characters '^I' when logging to a file. This looks ugly. Instead of a leading TAB to indicate continuation, prefix both output lines with 'raid:' or similar. Also remove any trailing space in the vicinity of the affected code and consistently end the sentences with a period.

Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when: * a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list' * 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width write requests * 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the top two conditions are false. Benchmark data: System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7 Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048 * patched: +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512) Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS) * patched: +13% * patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37% Changes since v1: * reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and make it configurable. This defaults to fairness and modest performance gains out of the box. Changes since v2: * [neilb@suse.de]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang fix. * [neilb@suse.de]: simplify get_priority_stripe * [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is sampled empty (+11%) * [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%. Note, resetting bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is probably too aggressive. Changes since v3: * cosmetic fixups Tested-by: James W.

Add support for the 965G and 965GM graphic chipsets to the intelfb driver. I have a notebook with an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller and with the attached patch the framebuffer comes up. I have tested it a bit with DirectFB to make sure it is working stable. I also have an Intel Mobile GM945 and I compared the results, the programming interface of the 9xx series from Intel is mostly the same, so I think the patch should add all the functionality which the 945GM has.
