fs/buffer.c: remove unnecessary init operation after allocating buffer_head.

2013-04-29T22:54:39+00:00

bh allocation uses kmem_cache_zalloc() so we needn't call
'init_buffer(bh, NULL, NULL)' and perform other set-zero-operations.

mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation

2013-04-29T22:54:33+00:00

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
to guarantee stable pages during writeback.  Next, for the one user
(ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.

We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
file data can be written through the journal.  Finally, the
MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
rid of it.

jbd: use kmem_cache_zalloc for allocating journal head

2013-04-29T12:34:05+00:00

This commit tries to use kmem_cache_zalloc instead of kmem_cache_alloc/
memset when a new journal head is alloctated.

jbd: use kmem_cache_zalloc instead of kmem_cache_alloc/memset

2013-04-25T13:25:23+00:00

Now jbd_alloc_handle is only called by new_handle.  So this commit
uses kmem_cache_zalloc instead of kmem_cache_alloc/memset.

jbd: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparound

2013-03-27T16:30:59+00:00

In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.

Commit d9b0193 "jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" attempted to fix
this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing
the logic in jbd_log_start_commit().

jbd: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily

2013-01-14T21:50:45+00:00

Don't send an extra wakeup to kjournald in the case where we
already have the proper target in j_commit_request, i.e. that
commit has already been requested for commit.

commit d9b0193 "jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" changed
the logic leading to a wakeup, but it caused some extra wakeups
which were found to lead to a measurable performance regression.

jbd: Fix lock ordering bug in journal_unmap_buffer()

2012-11-23T14:17:18+00:00

Commit 09e05d48 introduced a wait for transaction commit into
journal_unmap_buffer() in the case we are truncating a buffer undergoing commit
in the page stradding i_size on a filesystem with blocksize < pagesize. Sadly
we forgot to drop buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit and thus
deadlock is possible when kjournald wants to lock the buffer.

Fix the problem by dropping the buffer lock before waiting for transaction
commit. Since we are still holding page lock (and that is OK), buffer cannot
disappear under us.
