2011-07-20fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2010-09-16block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

2010-05-21ext3: Fix waiting on transaction during fsyncJan Kara
log_start_commit() returns 1 only when it started a transaction commit. Thus in case transaction commit is already running, we fail to wait for the commit to finish. Fix the issue by always waiting for the commit regardless of the log_start_commit return value. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-11-11ext3: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsyncJan Kara
We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to disk on fsync.

2009-09-16ext3: Flush disk caches on fsync when neededJan Kara
In case we fsync() a file and inode is not dirty, we don't force a transaction to disk and hence don't flush disk caches. Thus file data could be just in disk caches and not on persistent storage. Fix the problem by flushing disk caches if we didn't force a transaction commit. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2008-04-28ext3: fdatasync should skip metadata writeout when overwritingHisashi Hifumi
Currently fdatasync is identical to fsync in ext3. I think fdatasync should skip journal flush in data=ordered and data=writeback mode when it overwrites to already-instantiated blocks on HDD. When I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag is not set, fdatasync should skip journal writeout because this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates. Following patch is the same approach of ext2's fsync code(ext2_sync_file). I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=128 --max-requests=50000 --test=fileio --file-total-size=128G --file-test-mode=rndwr --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run The result on ext3 was: -2.6.24 Operations performed: 0 Read, 50080 Write, 59600 Other = 109680 Total Read 0b Written 782.5Mb Total transferred 782.5Mb (12.116Mb/sec) 775.45 Requests/sec executed Test execution summary: total time: 64.5814s total number of events: 50080 total time taken by event execution: 3713.9836 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0742s max: 0.9375s approx. 95 percentile: 0.2901s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 391.2500/23.26 execution time (avg/stddev): 29.0155/1.99 -2.6.24-patched Operations performed: 0 Read, 50009 Write, 61596 Other = 111605 Total Read 0b Written 781.39Mb Total transferred 781.39Mb (16.419Mb/sec) 1050.83 Requests/sec executed Test execution summary: total time: 47.5900s total number of events: 50009 total time taken by event execution: 2934.5768 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0587s max: 0.8938s approx. 95 percentile: 0.1993s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 390.6953/22.64 execution time (avg/stddev): 22.9264/1.17 Filesystem I/O throughput was improved.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
