Revert "f2fs: use percpu_rw_semaphore"

2016-08-19T02:15:08+00:00

LKP reported -36.3% regression of fsmark.files_per_sec due to this patch.
I've confirmed that fxmark [1] has also slight regression for DWAL.

Merge tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs

2016-07-27T17:36:31+00:00

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "The major change in this version is mitigating cpu overheads on write
  paths by replacing redundant inode page updates with mark_inode_dirty
  calls.  And we tried to reduce lock contentions as well to improve
  filesystem scalability.  Other feature is setting F2FS automatically
  when detecting host-managed SMR.

  Enhancements:
   - ioctl to move a range of data between files
   - inject orphan inode errors
   - avoid flush commands congestion
   - support lazytime

  Bug fixes:
   - return proper results for some dentry operations
   - fix deadlock in add_link failure
   - disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert"

block: get rid of bio_rw and READA

2016-07-20T23:37:01+00:00

These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces.  For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense.  Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD.  Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

f2fs: use blk_plug in all the possible paths

2016-07-15T22:21:23+00:00

This patch reverts 19a5f5e2ef37 (f2fs: drop any block plugging),
and adds blk_plug in write paths additionally.

The main reason is that blk_start_plug can be used to wake up from low-power
mode before submitting further bios.

f2fs: skip to check the block address of node page

f2fs: call SetPageUptodate if needed

2016-07-08T17:33:29+00:00

SetPageUptodate() issues memory barrier, resulting in performance degrdation.
Let's avoid that.

f2fs: introduce f2fs_set_page_dirty_nobuffer

2016-07-08T17:33:28+00:00

This patch adds f2fs_set_page_dirty_nobuffer() copied from __set_page_dirty_buffer.
When appending 4KB blocks in f2fs on pmem with multiple cores, this improves the
overall performance.

f2fs: fix to detect truncation prior rather than EIO during read

2016-07-08T17:33:25+00:00

In procedure of synchonized read, after sending out the read request, reader
will try to lock the page for waiting device to finish the read jobs and
unlock the page, but meanwhile, truncater will race with reader, so after
reader get lock of the page, it should check page's mapping to detect
whether someone has truncated the page in advance, then reader has the
chance to do the retry if truncation was done, otherwise read can be failed
due to previous condition check.
