xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing

2011-10-25T05:10:16+00:00

commit 0030807c66f058230bcb20d2573bcaf28852e804 upstream

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:

 - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
   can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
   in the system.
 - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
   work items

At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.

Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem.  In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

xfs: reduce the number of pagb_lock roundtrips in xfs_alloc_clear_busy

2011-04-28T18:18:09+00:00

Instead of finding the per-ag and then taking and releasing the pagb_lock
for every single busy extent completed sort the list of busy extents and
only switch betweens AGs where nessecary.  This becomes especially important
with the online discard support which will hit this lock more often.

xfs: kill support/debug.[ch]

2011-03-06T23:09:35+00:00

The remaining functionality in debug.[ch] is effectively just assert
handling, conditional debug definitions and hex dumping. The hex
dumping and assert function can be moved into the new printk module,
while the rest can be moved into top-level header files. This allows
fs/xfs/support/debug.[ch] to be completely removed from the
codebase.

xfs: introduce new logging API.

2011-03-02T03:20:59+00:00

Most of the logging infrastructure in XFS is unneccessary and
designed around the infrastructure supplied by Irix rather than
Linux. To rationalise the logging interfaces, start by introducing
simple printk wrappers similar to the dev_printk() infrastructure.
Later patches will convert code to use this new interface.

xfs: use wait queues directly for the log wait queues

2010-12-21T01:09:01+00:00

The log grant queues are one of the few places left using sv_t
constructs for waiting. Given we are touching this code, we should
convert them to plain wait queues. While there, convert all the
other sv_t users in the log code as well.

Seeing as this removes the last users of the sv_t type, remove the
header file defining the wrapper and the fragments that still
reference it.

xfs: Extend project quotas to support 32bit project ids

2010-10-18T20:08:08+00:00

This patch adds support for 32bit project quota identifiers.

On disk format is backward compatible with 16bit projid numbers. projid
on disk is now kept in two 16bit values - di_projid_lo (which holds the
same position as old 16bit projid value) and new di_projid_hi (takes
existing padding) and converts from/to 32bit value on the fly.

xfs_admin (for existing fs), mkfs.xfs (for new fs) needs to be used
to enable PROJID32BIT support.

xfs: remove xfs_cred.h

We're not actually passing around credentials inside XFS for a while
now, so remove all xfs_cred.h with it's cred_t typedef and all
instances of it.

xfs: new truncate sequence

2010-08-09T20:47:42+00:00

Convert XFS to the new truncate sequence.  We still can have errors after
updating the file size in xfs_setattr, but these are real I/O errors and lead
to a transaction abort and filesystem shutdown, so they are not an issue.

Errors from ->write_begin and write_end can now be handled correctly because
we can actually get rid of the delalloc extents while previous the buffer
state was stipped in block_invalidatepage.

There is still no error handling for ->direct_IO, because doing so will need
some major restructuring given that we only have the iolock shared and do not
hold i_mutex at all.  Fortunately leaving the normally allocated blocks behind
there is not a major issue and this will get cleaned up by xfs_free_eofblock
later.

Note: the patch is against Al's vfs.git tree as that contains the nessecary
preparations.  I'd prefer to get it applied there so that we can get some
testing in linux-next.

xfs: drop dmapi hooks

2010-07-26T18:16:33+00:00

Dmapi support was never merged upstream, but we still have a lot of hooks
bloating XFS for it, all over the fast pathes of the filesystem.

This patch drops over 700 lines of dmapi overhead.  If we'll ever get HSM
support in mainline at least the namespace events can be done much saner
in the VFS instead of the individual filesystem, so it's not like this
is much help for future work.
