writeback: pay attention to wbc->nr_to_write in write_cache_pages

2010-06-09T01:12:44+00:00

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:

    wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=0
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-85

This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made.  This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

tracing: Convert more ext4 events to DEFINE_EVENT

2010-05-17T08:00:00+00:00

Use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, and save ~2.7K:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 274441    7200     260  281901   44d2d fs/ext4/ext4.o.orig
 271881    7040     256  279177   44289 fs/ext4/ext4.o

4 events are converted:

  ext4__mb_new_pa: ext4_mb_new_inode_pa, ext4_mb_new_group_pa
  ext4__mballoc:   ext4_mballoc_discard, ext4_mballoc_free

No change in functionality.

ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks()

2009-11-23T12:17:05+00:00

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
ext4_free_blocks().  This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.

Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion.  As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks.  With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().
