The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists\nto add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists\n(although this is very slow).\n\nOne difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list\nby another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new\nvariale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability\ncould suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu\u0027s list.\n\nHowever loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between\nadding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving\nprocesses too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the\nhardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N\ncachelines than with 1.\n\nA worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs\ndegenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When\nmore than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by\ndifferent CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.\n\nTesting results:\n\nOn a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken\nto remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that\nadded it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.\n\nBooting: locks\u003d 25049 cpu-hits\u003d 23174 (92.5%) node-hits\u003d 23945 (95.6%)\nkbuild -j16 locks\u003d2281913 cpu-hits\u003d2208126 (96.8%) node-hits\u003d2252674 (98.7%)\ndbench 64 locks\u003d4306582 cpu-hits\u003d4287247 (99.6%) node-hits\u003d4299527 (99.8%)\n\nSo a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.\nIt remains within the same node 95% of the time.\n\nTim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile.\n\n throughput\n2.6.34-rc2 24.5\n+patch 24.9\n\n us sys idle IO wait (in %)\n2.6.34-rc2 51.25 28.25 17.25 3.25\n+patch 53.75 18.5 19 8.75\n\nSo significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and\nslightly higher throughput.\n\nSingle threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.\nThat is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory\naccesses required so it will be slightly slower.\n\nCc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org\nCc: Tim Chen \u003ctim.c.chen@linux.intel.com\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@kernel.dk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d996b62a8df1d935b01319bf8defb95b5709f7b8", "tree": "d81f8240da776336845a2063555d7bb4dce684bd", "parents": [ "ee2ffa0dfdd2db19705f2ba1c6a4c0bfe8122dd8" ], "author": { "name": "Nick Piggin", "email": "npiggin@kernel.dk", "time": "Wed Aug 18 04:37:36 2010 +1000" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Wed Aug 18 08:35:47 2010 -0400" }, "message": "tty: fix fu_list abuse\n\ntty: fix fu_list abuse\n\ntty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.\n\nIf a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode\nremoved, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is\nbecause fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb\nlist (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).\nThis can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked \"clean\".\n\nTaking idea from Christoph\u0027s initial patch, allocate a tty private struct\nat file-\u003eprivate_data and put our required list fields in there, linking\nfile and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes\nand avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.\n\nThe error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take\nthe simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don\u0027t worry about memory errors.\nThis is not a problem because our allocator doesn\u0027t fail small allocs as a rule\nanyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.\n\n[ Arguably filesystem\u0027s device inode would ideally be divorced from the\ndriver\u0027s pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it\u0027s not clear whether\nthat will ever be worth implementing. ]\n\nCc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@kernel.dk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ee2ffa0dfdd2db19705f2ba1c6a4c0bfe8122dd8", "tree": "e48400d1a33f8d2e68589ccfd61637aa64462f08", "parents": [ "b04f784e5d19ed58892833dae845738972cea260" ], "author": { "name": "Nick Piggin", "email": "npiggin@kernel.dk", "time": "Wed Aug 18 04:37:35 2010 +1000" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Wed Aug 18 08:35:47 2010 -0400" }, "message": "fs: cleanup files_lock locking\n\nfs: cleanup files_lock locking\n\nLock tty_files with a new spinlock, tty_files_lock; provide helpers to\nmanipulate the per-sb files list; unexport the files_lock spinlock.\n\nCc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nAcked-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@linux.intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@kernel.dk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9cb569d601e0b93e01c20a22872270ec663b75f6", "tree": "80b2568fae48018806e82f8884062dae8a5494ae", "parents": [ "87e99511ea54510ffb60b98001d108794d5037f8" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Hellwig", "email": "hch@lst.de", "time": "Wed Aug 11 17:06:24 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Wed Aug 18 01:09:01 2010 -0400" }, "message": "remove SWRITE* I/O types\n\nThese flags aren\u0027t real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always\nlock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.\n\nInstead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic\nand use it from the existing SWRITE* callers.

So there\nare a few changes here\n\n1) The submit_io hook. This is straightforward, just call this instead of\nsubmit_bio.\n\n2) Allow the fs to return -ENOTBLK for reads. Usually this has only worked for\nwrites, since writes can fallback onto buffered IO. But BTRFS needs the option\nof falling back on buffered IO if it encounters a compressed extent, since we\nneed to read the entire extent in and decompress it. So if we get -ENOTBLK back\nfrom get_block we\u0027ll return back and fallback on buffered just like the write\ncase.\n\nI\u0027ve tested these changes with fsx and everything seems to work.
