2011-01-07fs: avoid inode RCU freeing for pseudo fsNick Piggin
Pseudo filesystems that don't put inode on RCU list or reachable by rcu-walk dentries do not need to RCU free their inodes. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: use fast counters for vfs cachesNick Piggin
percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a simple per cpu set of counters is much better. The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so code will always be worse. In the fastpath, it is the difference between this: incl %gs:nr_dentry # nr_dentry and this: movl percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx # percpu_counter_batch, movl $1, %esi #, movq $nr_dentry, %rdi #, call __percpu_counter_add # (plus I clobber registers) __percpu_counter_add: pushq %rbp # movq %rsp, %rbp #, subq $32, %rsp #, movq %rbx, -24(%rbp) #, movq %r12, -16(%rbp) #, movq %r13, -8(%rbp) #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fbc, fbc #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP incl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq 32(%rdi), %r12 # <variable>.counters, tcp_ptr__ #APP # 78 "lib/percpu_counter.c" 1 add %gs:this_cpu_off, %r12 # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP movslq (%r12),%r13 #* tcp_ptr__, tmp73 movslq %edx,%rax # batch, batch addq %rsi, %r13 # amount, count cmpq %rax, %r13 # batch, count jge .L27 #, negl %edx # tmp76 movslq %edx,%rdx # tmp76, tmp77 cmpq %rdx, %r13 # tmp77, count jg .L28 #, .L27: movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, call _raw_spin_lock # addq %r13, 8(%rbx) # count, <variable>.count movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, movl $0, (%r12) #,* tcp_ptr__ call _raw_spin_unlock # .L29: #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP decl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq -8136(%rax), %rax #, D.14625 testb $8, %al #, D.14625 jne .L32 #, .L31: movq -24(%rbp), %rbx #, movq -16(%rbp), %r12 #, movq -8(%rbp), %r13 #, leave ret .p2align 4,,10 .p2align 3 .L28: movl %r13d, (%r12) # count,* jmp .L29 # .L32: call preempt_schedule # .p2align 4,,6 jmp .L31 # .size __percpu_counter_add, .-__percpu_counter_add .p2align 4,,15 Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07vfs: revert per-cpu nr_unused counters for dentry and inodesNick Piggin
The nr_unused counters count the number of objects on an LRU, and as such they are synchronized with LRU object insertion and removal and scanning, and protected under the LRU lock. Making it per-cpu does not actually get any concurrency improvements because of this lock, and summing the counter is much slower, and incrementing/decrementing it costs more code size and is slower too. These counters should stay per-LRU, which currently means global. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-10-26IMA: move read counter into struct inodeEric Paris
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however (especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to know information about the number of readers and the number of writers for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely needed. This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data. Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still be possible.

2010-10-25fs: inode split IO and LRU listsNick Piggin
The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

2010-10-25fs: fix buffer invalidation in invalidate_listChristoph Hellwig
We must not call invalidate_inode_buffers in invalidate_list unless the inode can be reclaimed. If we remove the buffer association of a busy inode fsync won't find the buffers anymore. As invalidate_inode_buffers is called from various others sources than umount this actually does matter in practice. While at it change the loop to a more natural form and remove the WARN_ON for I_NEW, wich we already tested a few lines above.

2010-10-25fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inodeChristoph Hellwig
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it. For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed, but that's left for later patches.

2010-10-25fs: introduce a per-cpu last_ino allocatorEric Dumazet
new_inode() dirties a contended cache line to get increasing inode numbers. This limits performance on workloads that cause significant parallel inode allocation. Solve this problem by using a per_cpu variable fed by the shared last_ino in batches of 1024 allocations. This reduces contention on the shared last_ino, and give same spreading ino numbers than before (i.e. same wraparound after 2^32 allocations).

2010-10-25fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodesNick Piggin
Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and cacheline traffic. We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention on LRU updates. This also removes the inode_in_use list, which means we now only have one list for tracking the inode LRU status. This makes it much simpler to split out the LRU list operations under it's own lock.

2010-10-25fs: Convert nr_inodes and nr_unused to per-cpu countersDave Chinner
The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation without needing to care about the counters. Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.

I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information.

2010-03-05dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories.

2009-09-24vfs: optimization for touch_atime()Andi Kleen
Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for IO intensive workloads. Most likely that's due to the lock in mnt_want_write(). Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime or relatime). Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then if that didn't succeed take the lock. That works because none of the atime avoidance tests rely on locking. This also eliminates a goto.
