      ext4: add ratelimiting to ext4 messages · efbed4dc
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      In the case of a storage device that suddenly disappears, or in the
      case of significant file system corruption, this can result in a huge
      flood of messages being sent to the console.  This can overflow the
      file system containing /var/log/messages, or if a serial console is
      configured, this can slow down the system so much that a hardware
      watchdog can end up triggering forcing a system reboot.

      ext4: fix performance regression in ext4_writepages · aeac589a
      Ming Lei authored
      Commit 4e7ea81d(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another
      performance regression on random write:
      
      - one more page may be added to ext4 extent in
        mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so
        nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set
      
      - the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page
        cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks
        can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up
        with write path, and performance is hurted.
      
      On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM:
      2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's
      result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%):
      
      	dd if=/dev/zero of=./z.img bs=8K count=512K
      
      The above test is actually prototype of block write in bonnie++
      utility.
      
      This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to
      extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

        And one pain in the ass revert, so we have VGA arbitration that when
        implemented 4-5 years ago really hoped that GPUs could remove
        themselves from arbitration completely once they had a kernel driver.
      
        It seems Intel hw designers decided that was too nice a facility to
        allow us to have so they removed it when they went on-die (so since
        Ironlake at least).  Now Alex Williamson added support for VGA
        arbitration for newer GPUs however this now exposes itself to
        userspace as requireing arbitration of GPU VGA regions and the X
        server gets involved and disables things that it can't handle when VGA
        access is possibly required around every operation.
      
        So in order to not break userspace we just reverted things back to the
        old known broken status so maybe we can try and design out way out.
      
        Ville also had a patch to use stop machine for the two times Intel
        needs to access VGA space, that might be acceptable with some rework,
        but for now myself and Daniel agreed to just go back"
