Btrfs: call the ordered free operation without any locks held

2012-08-02T13:38:02Z

commit e9fbcb42201c862fd6ab45c48ead4f47bb2dea9d upstream. Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput, which we can't do with the spinlock. This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before moving through the rest of the list. We'll circle back around to this and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-08-02T13:37:32Z

commit a6bc32b899223a877f595ef9ddc1e89ead5072b8 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled. These stalls were particularly noticable when copying data to a USB stick but the experiences for users varied a lot. This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage

2012-08-02T13:37:30Z

commit b969c4ab9f182a6e1b2a0848be349f99714947b0 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page aging information by reducing LRU list churning had the side-effect of reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix. Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling, there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check; if (PageDirty(page) && !sync && mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page) rc = -EBUSY; This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would block.

Btrfs: run delayed directory updates during log replay

2012-07-12T03:32:17Z

commit b6305567e7d31b0bec1b8cb9ec0cadd7f7086f5f upstream. While we are resolving directory modifications in the tree log, we are triggering delayed metadata updates to the filesystem btrees. This commit forces the delayed updates to run so the replay code can find any modifications done. It stops us from crashing because the directory deleltion replay expects items to be removed immediately from the tree. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

btrfs: btrfs_root_readonly() broken on big-endian

2012-05-11T12:14:13Z

commit 6ed3cf2cdfce4c9f1d73171bd3f27d9cb77b734e upstream. ->root_flags is __le64 and all accesses to it go through the helpers that do proper conversions. Except for btrfs_root_readonly(), which checks bit 0 as in host-endian... Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Btrfs: call d_instantiate after all ops are setup

2011-12-23T13:02:26Z

This closes races where btrfs is calling d_instantiate too soon during inode creation. All of the callers of btrfs_add_nondir are updated to instantiate after the inode is fully setup in memory. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: fix worker lock misuse in find_worker

2011-12-23T12:53:00Z

Dan Carpenter noticed that we were doing a double unlock on the worker lock, and sometimes picking a worker thread without the lock held. This fixes both errors. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason Reported-by: Dan Carpenter

Tests show that the original large intervals can easily make the dirty limit exceeded on 100 concurrent dd's. So adapt to as large as the next check point selected by the dirty throttling algorithm. Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang Signed-off-by: Chris Mason
