Pull ext4 regression fixes from Ted Ts'o: "This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen; they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload, but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close to zero. I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request. This also fixes the journalled quota mount options, which I accidentally broke while I was cleaning up the mount option handling." * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: ext4: fix handling of journalled quota options ext4: address scalability issue by removing extent cache statistics

ext4: fix handling of journalled quota options

2012-04-16T22:55:26Z

Commit 26092bf5 broke handling of journalled quota mount options by trying to parse argument of every mount option as a number. Fix this by dealing with the quota options before we call match_int(). Thanks to Jan Kara for discovering this regression. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

ext4: address scalability issue by removing extent cache statistics

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen have reported that under certain circumstances the extent cache statistics are causing scalability problems due to cache line bounces. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Revert "ext4: don't release page refs in ext4_end_bio()"

2012-03-30T00:00:56Z

This reverts commit b43d17f319f2c502b17139d1cf70731b2b62c644. Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO."

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while). And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it on by default. * 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (55 commits) nfsd: only register cld pipe notifier when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel nfsd: fix NULL pointer dereference in cld_pipe_downcall nfsd4: memory corruption in numeric_name_to_id() sunrpc: skip portmap calls on sessions backchannel nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping nfsd: don't allow legacy client tracker init for anything but init_net nfsd: add notifier to handle mount/unmount of rpc_pipefs sb nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall nfsd: add a header describing upcall to nfsdcld nfsd: add a per-net-namespace struct for nfsd sunrpc: create nfsd dir in rpc_pipefs nfsd: add nfsd4_client_tracking_ops struct and a way to set it nfsd: convert nfs4_client->cl_cb_flags to a generic flags field NFSD: Fix nfs4_verifier memory alignment NFSD: Fix warnings when NFSD_DEBUG is not defined nfsd: vfs_llseek() with 32 or 64 bit offsets (hashes) nfsd: rename 'int access' to 'int may_flags' in nfsd_open() ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type fs: add new FMODE flags: FMODE_32bithash and FMODE_64bithash ...

Pull ext4 updates for 3.4 from Ted Ts'o: "Ext4 commits for 3.3 merge window; mostly cleanups and bug fixes The changes to export dirty_writeback_interval are from Artem's s_dirt cleanup patch series. The same is true of the change to remove the s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree. I've run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge window. (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (66 commits) vfs: remove unused superblock helpers mm: export dirty_writeback_interval ext4: remove useless s_dirt assignment ext4: write superblock only once on unmount ext4: do not mark superblock as dirty unnecessarily ext4: correct ext4_punch_hole return codes ext4: remove restrictive checks for EOFBLOCKS_FL ext4: always set then trimmed blocks count into len ext4: fix trimmed block count accunting ext4: fix start and len arguments handling in ext4_trim_fs() ext4: update s_free_{inodes,blocks}_count during online resize ext4: change some printk() calls to use ext4_msg() instead ext4: avoid output message interleaving in ext4_error_() ext4: remove trailing newlines from ext4_msg() and ext4_error() messages ext4: add no_printk argument validation, fix fallout ext4: remove redundant "EXT4-fs: " from uses of ext4_msg ext4: give more helpful error message in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() ext4: remove unused code from ext4_ext_map_blocks() ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space() jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commit ...

ext4: remove useless s_dirt assignment

Clean-up ext4 a tiny bit by removing useless s_dirt assignment in 'ext4_fill_super()' because a bit later we anyway call 'ext4_setup_super()' which writes the superblock to the media unconditionally. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"
