This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it
provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that
this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the
flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining
disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not
fixing it sooner.
Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible
that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
to enable zero-copy writeout.
Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
latencies on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies
increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
the flusher more work to do.
On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
latencies:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078
ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210
Flush 12129 36.219 168.260
Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928
ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124
Flush 12214 34.800 165.689
Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms
XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343
ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115
Flush 17851 25.004 131.390
Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299
ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287
Flush 17549 25.120 188.687
Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms
...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency
decreases:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355
ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828
Flush 9547 47.561 147.418
Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631
ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123
Flush 9190 47.963 219.034
Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking
behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
requiring stable page writes.
This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
results as -rc3.
[1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the
author of the stable page series! :)
This patch:
Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive
wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.

I recently made the mistake of writing:
foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));
which is clearly bogus. If lockdep is disabled in the config this would
cause a compile failure, if it is enabled then it compiles and causes a
puzzling warning about dereferencing without the correct protection.
Wrap the macro in "do { ... } while (0)" to also fail compile for this
when lockdep is enabled.

use of_node_put() on it when done.
of_find_node_by_name() will call of_node_put() against the node pass to

Add mmp display subsystem to support Marvell MMP display controllers.
This subsystem contains 4 parts:
--fb folder
--core.c
--hw folder
--panel folder
1. fb folder contains implementation of fb. fb get path and overlay
from common interface and operates on these structures.
2. core.c provides common interface for a hardware abstraction. Major
parts of this interface are:
a) Path: path is a output device connected to a panel or HDMI TV. Main
operations of the path is set/get timing/output color. fb operates
output device through path structure.
b) Ovly: Ovly is a buffer shown on the path.
Ovly describes frame buffer and its source/destination size, offset,
input color, buffer address, z-order, and so on. Each fb device maps
to one overlay.
3. hw folder contains implementation of hardware operations defined by
core.c. It registers paths for fb use.
4. panel folder contains implementation of panels. It's connected to
path. Panel drivers would also regiester panels and linked to path
when probe.

Framebuffer support for the Goldfish emulator. This takes the Google
emulator and applies the x86 cleanups as well as moving the blank
methods to the usual Linux place and dropping the Android early suspend
logic (for now at least, that can be looked at as Android and upstream
converge). Dropped various oddities like setting MTRRs on a virtual
frame buffer emulation...
With the drivers so far you can now boot a Linux initrd and have fun.

Move the device rebind procedures for cardbus devices from the pm.resume
into the pm.complete callback.
The reason for moving the code is: "[...] The PM code needs to send
suspend and resume messages to every device in the right order, and it
can't do that if new devices are being added at the same time. [...]"
However the situation really isn't quite that rigid. In particular,
adding new children during a resume callback shouldn't cause much of
problem because the children don't need to be resumed anyway (since they
were never suspended). On the other hand, if you do it you will get a
dev_warn() from the PM core, something like 'parent should not be
sleeping'.
Still, it is considered bad form and should be avoided if possible."

On cris-linux-gcc, __SIZE_TYPE__ expands to "unsigned int", as
gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/cris-linux/lib/gcc/cris-linux/4.6.3/plugin/include/config/cris/linux.h
has
#define SIZE_TYPE "unsigned int"
Hence __kernel_size_t is also "unsigned int". But __kernel_ssize_t is
"long", which has a different base type, causing compiler warnings like:
fs/quota/quota_tree.c:372:4: warning: format '%zd' expects argument of type 'signed size_t', but argument 4 has type 'ssize_t' [-Wformat]
To fix this, __kernel_ssize_t should be changed to "int". Hence cris can
just use the generic 32-bit versions from include/asm-generic/posix_types.h
for all size-related types.

We found that bdev->bd_invalidated was left set once revalidate_disk()
is called, which results in page cache flush every time that device is
open.
Specifically, we found this problem in MD block device. Once we resize
a MD device, mdadm --monitor periodically flush all page cache for that
device every 60 or 1000 seconds when it opens the device.
This bug lies since at least 3.2.0 till the latest kernel(3.6.2). Patch
is attached.
The following steps will reproduce the problem.
1. prepair a block device (eg /dev/sdb).
2. create two partitions:
sudo parted /dev/sdb
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 0% 50%
mkpart primary 50% 100%
3. create a md device.
sudo mdadm -C /dev/md/hoge -l 1 -n 2 -e 1.2 --assume-clean --auto=md --symlink=no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
4. create file system and mount it
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md/hoge
sudo mkdir /mnt/test
sudo mount /dev/md/hoge /mnt/test
5. try to resize the device
sudo mdadm -G /dev/md/hoge --size=max
6. create a file to fill file cache.
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test/data bs=1M count=10
and verify the current status of file by free command.
7. mdadm monitor will open the md device every 1000 seconds and you
will find all file cache on the device are cleared.
The timing can be reduced by the following steps.
a) kill mdadm and restart it with --delay option
/sbin/mdadm --monitor --delay=30 --pid-file /var/run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog
or open the md device directly.
sudo dd if=/dev/md/hoge of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

Running the command:
inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk
immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid
parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.
The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask
checks"). In that commit, it states:
The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.
But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:
mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
- if (unlikely(!mask))
+ if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
return -EINVAL;
The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the
check should be:
if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))
But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.
Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

Introduce compiletime_assert to compiler.h, which moves the details of
how to break a build and emit an error message for a specific compiler
to the headers where these details should be. Following in the
tradition of the POSIX assert macro, compiletime_assert creates a
build-time error when the supplied condition is *false*.
Next, we add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to bug.h which simply wraps
compiletime_assert, inverting the logic, so that it fails when the
condition is *true*, consistent with the language "build bug on." This
macro allows you to specify the error message you want emitted when the
supplied condition is true.
Finally, we remove all other code from bug.h that mucks with these
details (BUILD_BUG & BUILD_BUG_ON), and have them all call
BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG. This not only reduces source code bloat, but also
prevents the possibility of code being changed for one macro and not for
the other (which was previously the case for BUILD_BUG and
BUILD_BUG_ON).
Since __compiletime_error_fallback is now only used in compiler.h, I'm
considering it a private macro and removing the double negation that's
now extraneous.

Prior to the introduction of __attribute__((error("msg"))) in gcc 4.3,
creating compile-time errors required a little trickery.
BUILD_BUG{,_ON} uses this attribute when available to generate
compile-time errors, but also uses the negative-sized array trick for
older compilers, resulting in two error messages in some cases. The
reason it's "some" cases is that as of gcc 4.4, the negative-sized array
will not create an error in some situations, like inline functions.
This patch replaces the negative-sized array code with the new
__compiletime_error_fallback() macro which expands to the same thing
unless the the error attribute is available, in which case it expands to
do{}while(0), resulting in exactly one compile-time error on all
versions of gcc.
Note that we are not changing the negative-sized array code for the
unoptimized version of BUILD_BUG_ON, since it has the potential to catch
problems that would be disabled in later versions of gcc were
__compiletime_error_fallback used. The reason is that that an
unoptimized build can't always remove calls to an error-attributed
function call (like we are using) that should effectively become dead
code if it were optimized. However, using a negative-sized array with a
similar value will not result in an false-positive (error). The only
caveat being that it will also fail to catch valid conditions, which we
should be expecting in an unoptimized build anyway.

Negative sized arrays wont create a compile-time error in some cases
starting with gcc 4.4 (e.g., inlined functions), but gcc 4.3 introduced
the error function attribute that will.
This patch modifies BUILD_BUG_ON to behave like BUILD_BUG already does,
using the error function attribute so that you don't have to build the
entire kernel to discover that you have a problem, and then enjoy trying
to track it down from a link-time error.
Also, we are only including asm/bug.h and then expecting that
linux/compiler.h will eventually be included to define __linktime_error
(used in BUILD_BUG_ON). This patch includes it directly for clarity and
to avoid the possibility of changes in <arch>/*/include/asm/bug.h being
changed or not including linux/compiler.h for some reason.

When calling BUILD_BUG_ON in an optimized build using gcc 4.3 and later,
the condition will be evaulated twice, possibily with side-effects. This
patch eliminates that error.

When __CHECKER__ is defined, we disable all of the BUILD_BUG.* macros.
However, both BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2 and BUILD_BUG_ON was evaluating
to nothing in this case, and we want (0) since this is a function-like
macro that will be followed by a semicolon.

__linktime_error() does the same thing as __compiletime_error() and is
only used in bug.h. Since the macro defines a function attribute that
will cause a failure at compile-time (not link-time), it makes more sense
to keep __compiletime_error(), which is also neatly mated with
__compiletime_warning().

Using GCC_VERSION reduces complexity, is easier to read and is GCC's
recommended mechanism for doing version checks. (Just don't ask me why
they didn't define it in the first place.) This also makes it easy to
merge compiler-gcc{,3,4}.h should somebody want to.

Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made. These can be
simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends.
However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check
macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use
this macro than the tradition method:
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ => 2)
If you add patch level, it gets this ugly:
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 2 || \
__GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 1))
As opposed to:
#if GCC_VERSION >= 40201
While having separate headers for gcc 3 & 4 eliminates some of this
verbosity, they can still be cleaned up by this.
