vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors

2012-01-04T03:52:40+00:00

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

fs: icache RCU free inodes

2011-01-07T06:50:26+00:00

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.

fs/efs: return f_fsid for statfs(2)

2009-04-03T02:05:09+00:00

Make efs return f_fsid info for statfs(2), and do a little variable
renaming in efs_statfs().

EFS: Don't set f_fsid in statfs().

2008-09-02T22:15:22+00:00

We don't have any suitable value to put in f_fsid. Using EFS_MAGIC
really isn't a good idea, because all EFS file systems will have the
same f_fsid then.

SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor

2008-07-26T19:00:07+00:00

Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

efs: move headers out of include/linux/

2008-02-24T01:12:15+00:00

Merge include/linux/efs_fs{_i,_dir}.h into fs/efs/efs.h.  efs_vh.h remains
there because this is the IRIX volume header and shouldn't really be
handled by efs but by the partitioning code.  efs_sb.h remains there for
now because it's exported to userspace.  Of course this wrong and aboot
should have a copy of it's own, but I'll leave that to a separate patch to
avoid any contention.

iget: stop EFS from using iget() and read_inode()

2008-02-07T16:42:27+00:00

Stop the EFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
efs_read_inode() with efs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().  efs_iget()
then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an
inode in the event of an error.

efs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EACCES.
