2012-04-11ext2: write superblock only once on unmountArtem Bityutskiy1-3/+0
Currently on unmount if we are mounted R/W, we first write the superblock to the media if it is dirty, and then write it again, which is not optimal. This patch makes ext2 write the superblock on unmount less times. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2012-04-11jbd: Refine commit writeout logicJan Kara5-27/+26
Currently we write out all journal buffers in WRITE_SYNC mode. This improves performance for fsync heavy workloads but hinders performance when writes are mostly asynchronous, most noticably it slows down readers and users complain about slow desktop response etc. So submit writes as asynchronous in the normal case and only submit writes as WRITE_SYNC if we detect someone is waiting for current transaction commit. I've gathered some numbers to back this change. The first is the read latency test. It measures time to read 1 MB after several seconds of sleeping in presence of streaming writes. Top 10 times (out of 90) in us: Before After 2131586 697473 1709932 557487 1564598 535642 1480462 347573 1478579 323153 1408496 222181 1388960 181273 1329565 181070 1252486 172832 1223265 172278 Average: 619377 82180 So the improvement in both maximum and average latency is massive. I've measured fsync throughput by: fs_mark -n 100 -t 1 -s 16384 -d /mnt/fsync/ -S 1 -L 4 in presence of streaming reader. The numbers (fsyncs/s) are: Before After 9.9 6.3 6.8 6.0 6.3 6.2 5.8 6.1 So fsync performance seems unharmed by this change. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2012-04-09modpost: Fix modpost license checking of vmlinux.oFrank Rowand2-2/+6
Commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section. This sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker. Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o (which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet). These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure. [ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the problem, copied from commit 62a2635610db ("modpost: Fix modpost's license checking V3"). That commit fixed the problem for module object files, but not for vmlinux.o.

2012-04-09android, lowmemorykiller: remove task handoff notifierDavid Rientjes1-41/+7
The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for doing so. It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at all. It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit. The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal. The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit. This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.

2012-04-06tcm_fc: Add abort flag for gracefully handling exchange timeoutMark Rustad3-2/+11
Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout cases, because calling that function in that context would free memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.

2012-04-06Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usableLinus Torvalds2-32/+49
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add.

Returning this as an operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here, passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

That function calls mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt. The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant of the fake IOAPIC entries. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
