      "message": "fs: rcu-walk for path lookup\n\nPerform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the\nancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current\nalgorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk.\n\nThis results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element,\nsignificantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline\nbouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability.\n\nThe overall design is like this:\n* LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd-\u003eflags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk.\n* Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring\n  of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are\n  not required for dentry persistence.\n* synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can\n  access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk.\n* Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt\n  refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount\n  lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and\n  down the path.\n* Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode,\n  so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its\n  members have changed.\n* Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent\n  sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent\n  during the path walk.\n* inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for\n  limited things.\n* i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk.\n* i_op can be loaded.\n\nWhen we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence,\nand increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks\nare dropped. This is termed \"dropping rcu-walk\". If the dentry refcount does\nnot match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the\nlokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the\npath walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk.\n\nAside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted\nwhere we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take\na reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if\nwe can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup\nusing ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk\nfor most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to\ngain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root).\n\nThe cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are:\n* NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element)\n* parent with d_inode-\u003ei_op-\u003epermission or ACLs\n* dentries with d_revalidate\n* Following links\n\nIn future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It\nmay be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.\n\nUncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the\nvery least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated.\n\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@kernel.dk\u003e\n"

      "message": "include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h\n\npercpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being\nincluded when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which\nin turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files\nuniversally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.\n\npercpu.h -\u003e slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for\nthis change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those\nheaders directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion\nneeds to touch large number of source files, the following script is\nused as the basis of conversion.\n\n  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py\n\nThe script does the followings.\n\n* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that\n  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,\n  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.\n\n* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include\n  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms\n  to its surrounding.  It\u0027s put in the include block which contains\n  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -\n  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there\n  doesn\u0027t seem to be any matching order.\n\n* If the script can\u0027t find a place to put a new include (mostly\n  because the file doesn\u0027t have fitting include block), it prints out\n  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the\n  file.\n\nThe conversion was done in the following steps.\n\n1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly\n   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h\n   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400\n   files.\n\n2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn\u0027t need the inclusion,\n   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or\n   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added\n   inclusions to around 150 files.\n\n3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits\n   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.\n\n4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.\n   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab\n   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.\n\n5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically\n   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h\n   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h\n   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually\n   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each\n   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as\n   necessary.\n\n6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.\n\n7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures\n   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my\n   distributed build env didn\u0027t work with gcov compiles) and a few\n   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things\n   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).\n\n   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.\n   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig\n   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig\n   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig\n   * s390 SMP allmodconfig\n   * alpha SMP allmodconfig\n   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig\n\n8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as\n   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.\n\nGiven the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step\n6, I\u0027m fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.\nIf there is a breakage, it\u0027s likely to be something in one of the arch\nheaders which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of\nthe specific arch.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nGuess-its-ok-by: Christoph Lameter \u003ccl@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Lee Schermerhorn \u003cLee.Schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "add filesystem subtype support\n\nThere\u0027s a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse\nbased filesystems.\n\nFrom the kernel\u0027s view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and\nfuseblk.  From the user\u0027s view there are lots of different filesystem\ntypes.  The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based\nor not.  So there\u0027s a conflict of interest in how this should be\nrepresented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.\n\nThe current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount\nsource.  So an sshfs mount looks like this:\n\n  sshfs#user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse   rw,nosuid,nodev,...\n\nThis url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems.  However\nfor block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn\u0027t work, since\nthe kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.\n\nA possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type\nfield as \"type.subtype\".  So fuse mounts would look like this:\n\n  /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows   fuseblk.ntfs-3g   rw,...\n  user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse.sshfs        rw,nosuid,nodev,...\n\nThis patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be\ncorrectly displayed in /proc/mounts.\n\nSigned-off-by: Miklos Szeredi \u003cmszeredi@suse.cz\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"
