ext2/3/4: delete unneeded includes of module.h

2012-01-09T12:52:10+00:00

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly
required.  In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE
etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so
relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it
consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.

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...

ext2: fix error msg when mounting fs with too-large blocksize

2011-05-17T11:47:42+00:00

When ext2 mounts a filesystem, it attempts to set the block device
blocksize with a call to sb_set_blocksize, which can fail for
several reasons.  The current failure message in ext2 prints:

  EXT2-fs (loop1): error: blocksize is too small

which is not correct in all cases.  This can be demonstrated
by creating a filesystem with

  # mkfs.ext2 -b 8192

on a 4k page system, and attempting to mount it.

Change the error message to a more generic:

  EXT2-fs (loop1): bad blocksize 8192

to match the error message in ext3.

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/ext2/super.c: Use printf extension %pV

2011-01-06T10:52:14+00:00

Using %pV reduces the number of printk calls and
eliminates any possible message interleaving from
other printk calls.
