fs/super.c: fix lru_list leak for real

2013-10-01T17:11:21+00:00

Freeing ->s_{inode,dentry}_lru in deactivate_locked_super() is wrong;
the right place is destroy_super().  As it is, we leak them if sget()
decides that new superblock it has allocated (and never shown to
anybody) isn't needed and should be freed.

super: fix for destroy lrus

2013-09-10T22:56:32+00:00

This patch adds the missing call to list_lru_destroy (spotted by Li Zhong)
and moves the deletion to after the shrinker is unregistered, as correctly
spotted by Dave

list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays

2013-09-10T22:56:32+00:00

We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure.  Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time.  But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).

This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware

2013-09-10T22:56:31+00:00

Now that the shrinker is passing a node in the scan control structure, we
can pass this to the the generic LRU list code to isolate reclaim to the
lists on matching nodes.

shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API

2013-09-10T22:56:30+00:00

Convert superblock shrinker to use the new count/scan API, and propagate
the API changes through to the filesystem callouts.  The filesystem
callouts already use a count/scan API, so it's just changing counters to
longs to match the VM API.

This requires the dentry and inode shrinker callouts to be converted to
the count/scan API.  This is mainly a mechanical change.

dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks

2013-09-10T22:56:30+00:00

With the dentry LRUs being per-sb structures, there is no real need for
a global dentry_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by
moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different
filesytsems completely from each other. The need for this is independent
of any performance consideration that may arise: in the interest of
abstracting the lru operations away, it is mandatory that each lru works
around its own lock instead of a global lock for all of them.

super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers

2013-09-10T22:56:29+00:00

The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.

It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible.  But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).

This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.
