git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

2012-03-13jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commitJan Kara
Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.

2012-03-13jbd2: issue cache flush after checkpointing even with internal journalJan Kara
When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal superblock in these cases. A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that.

2011-12-28jbd2: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction startedYongqiang Yang
Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused. However, this can tigger a false journal error. Consider a situation when a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file. At this moment, user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file. The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers. We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked buffers in current transaction any more.

2011-06-13jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head()Jan Kara
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race: TASK1 TASK2 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() ... processing t_forget list __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh); if (!jh->b_transaction) { jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh) jbd_lock_bh_state(bh) __journal_try_to_free_buffer() jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh) jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh); jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality). Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(), [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and __jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

2011-05-24jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commitJan Kara
In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a flush to file system device when it is different from the journal device (because data can still be in disk cache only). Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up. This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer occur.

2010-09-20cfq: improve fsync performance for small filesCorrado Zoccolo
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit. Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing small files and fsync-ing them is starved. This patch fixes the two problems by: - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE flag set, - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle tree. Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated to journal commits in the noidle tree allows: - switching between them without idling, - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only after the noidle tree expires its slice.

2009-12-23ext4, jbd2: Add barriers for file systems with exernal journalsTheodore Ts'o
This is a bit complicated because we are trying to optimize when we send barriers to the fs data disk. We could just throw in an extra barrier to the data disk whenever we send a barrier to the journal disk, but that's not always strictly necessary. We only need to send a barrier during a commit when there are data blocks which are must be written out due to an inode written in ordered mode, or if fsync() depends on the commit to force data blocks to disk. Finally, before we drop transactions from the beginning of the journal during a checkpoint operation, we need to guarantee that any blocks that were flushed out to the data disk are firmly on the rust platter before we drop the transaction from the journal.

2009-12-10kill wait_on_page_writeback_rangeChristoph Hellwig
All callers really want the more logical filemap_fdatawait_range interface, so convert them to use it and merge wait_on_page_writeback_range into filemap_fdatawait_range. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-09-30jbd2: Use tracepoints for history fileTheodore Ts'o
The /proc/fs/jbd2/<dev>/history was maintained manually; by using tracepoints, we can get all of the existing functionality of the /proc file plus extra capabilities thanks to the ftrace infrastructure. We save memory as a bonus. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-09-11ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrierTheodore Ts'o
Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe). This patch fixes it so that we eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the commit block. Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this; if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from being replayed. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 30.5 28242 vs. FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 8 1000 10240 45.8 28620 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-04-14jbd2: use SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG when writing synchronous revoke recordsTheodore Ts'o
The revoke records must be written using the same way as the rest of the blocks during the commit process; that is, either marked as synchronous writes or as asynchornous writes. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
