      [XFS] Lazy Superblock Counters · 92821e2b
      David Chinner authored
      When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
      typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
      create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
      free block counts.
      
      When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
      the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
      until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
      of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
      buffer becomes a bottleneck.
      
      The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
      transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
      buffer, the slower things go.
      
      The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
      in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
      in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
      modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
      modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
      In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
      sync period or just before unmount.
      
      This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
      fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
      crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
      in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
      recovery has been performed.
      
      It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
      after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
      counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
      correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
      record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
      the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
      not change under normal operation.
      
      One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
      used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
      This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
      the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
      matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
      AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
      complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
      by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
      
      As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
      moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
      possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
      xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
      convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
      xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

      [XFS] Make hole punching at EOF atomic. · 92dfe8d2
      David Chinner authored
      If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend)
      the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an
      application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs
      to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the
      file size is never seen to change.

      [XFS] Fix vmalloc leak on mount/unmount. · 511105b3
      David Chinner authored
      When setting the length of the iclogbuf to write out we should just be
      changing the desired byte count rather completely reassociating the buffer
      memory with the buffer. Reassociating the buffer memory changes the
      apparent length of the buffer and hence when we free the buffer, we don't
      free all the vmap()d space we originally allocated.

      [XFS] Sleeping with the ilock waiting for I/O completion is Bad. · 40095b64
      David Chinner authored
      Recent fixes to the filesystem freezing code introduced a vn_iowait call
      in the middle of the sync code. Unfortunately, at the point where this
      call was added we are holding the ilock. The ilock is needed by I/O
      completion for unwritten extent conversion and now updating the file size.
      Hence I/o cannot complete if we hold the ilock while waiting for I/O
      completion.
      
      Fix up the bug and clean the code up around it.

      limits the kernel can support.

      [XFS] Only use refcounted pages for I/O · 1fa40b01
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Many block drivers (aoe, iscsi) really want refcountable pages in bios,
      which is what almost everyone send down. XFS unfortunately has a few
      places where it sends down buffers that may come from kmalloc, which
      breaks them.
      
      Fix the places that use kmalloc()d buffers.

      Make common helpers for seq_files that work with list_heads · bcf67e16
      Pavel Emelianov authored
      Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head.
      The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth
      introducing a common helpers.
      
      This makes code about 300 lines smaller:
      
      The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline
      in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as
      Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows:
      
      2.6.22-rc1-mm1:              0x001794d5
      with the previous version:   0x00179505
      with this patch:             0x00179135
      
      The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all
      the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus
      drivers I have on the test node.
      
      This patch:

      Add LZO1X algorithm to the kernel · 64c70b1c
      Richard Purdie authored
      This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression
      algorithm to the kernel.  Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of
      the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and
      are jointly signing off).
      
      The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
      it was based on.  Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
      x86_64 with favourable results.
      
      There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
      since its much faster than zlib.

      ps3: gigabit ethernet driver for PS3, take3 · 02c18891
      Masakazu Mokuno authored
      Hi,
      
      This is the third submission of the network driver for PS3.
      The differences from the previous one are:
      
        - renamed source file names so that their prefix can match
          with the module name
        - added cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org line for MAINTAINER file
        - changed some in copyright comments
      
      If there are no more comments, please apply for 2.6.23.
      
      Thank you

      bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master · c2edacf8
      Jay Vosburgh authored
      	At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
      active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
      then opened during the enslavement processing).  This causes DAD and RS
      packets to be sent from the slave.  These packets in turn can confuse
      switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
      their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
      backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
      active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
      dropped).
      
      	This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
      the master device itself.  I believe this is logically correct, as it
      prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
      master.  This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
      
      	This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
      in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
      after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
      slave devices.
      
      	The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag.  I inspected eql,
      and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
      I did not test it.

      Peter Korsgaard authored
      usbnet_probe() handles a positive return value from the driver bind()
      function as success, but will later only setup the status handler if the
      return value was zero, leading to confusion. Patch adjusts this to accept
      positive values as success in both checks.
