[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

[PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate

For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory.  In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).

While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible.  But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.

I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.

So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

Jeff Dike [Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:50:40 +0000 (01:50 -0700)]
[PATCH] uml: thread creation tidying

fork on UML has always somewhat subtle.  The underlying cause has been the
need to initialize a stack for the new process.  The only portable way to
initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a
signal.  The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps
back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished.  The basic
context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process.  You switch to a
new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf.

Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke
around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a
much simpler mechanism is possible.  The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by
hand.

This eliminates -
the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack
sending and handling a signal
the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since
there is no stack switching
setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original
stack after the new one is set up

In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be
embedded in the thread struct.  This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on
the stack, where it used to be.  It also simplifies interfaces, since the
switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions
which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it
from the void *.

Christoph Lameter [Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:50:08 +0000 (01:50 -0700)]
[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator

This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain
slabs that belong to that specific node.  All slab allocations use
GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator.  If an allocation fails
then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate
for a certain context.

This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node
in the slab layer.

Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via
cpusets to other nodes.  This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in
turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining.  Plus the slab
is handing out memory as local when it is really remote.

Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and
not in the page allocator.  This is necessary in order to be able to use the
existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more
pages to a slab.

The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset
restrictions of the current context.  We do not allocate objects from outside
of the current cpuset context like before.

Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator
requires importing logic from the page allocator.  This is a mischmash that is
not that great.  Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages)
face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic
fallback logic of the page allocator.  There is another way of implementing a
slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within
the existing slab.

V1->V2:
- Use NUMA_BUILD to avoid #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
- Exploit GFP_THISNODE being 0 in the NON_NUMA case to avoid another

[PATCH] Condense output of show_free_areas()

On larger systems, the amount of output dumped on the console when you do
SysRq-M is beyond insane.  This patch is trying to reduce it somewhat as
even with the smaller NUMA systems that have hit the desktop this seems to
be a fair thing to do.

The philosophy I have taken is as follows:
 1) If a zone is empty, don't tell, we don't need yet another line
    telling us so. The information is available since one can look up
    the fact how many zones were initialized in the first place.
 2) Put as much information on a line is possible, if it can be done
    in one line, rahter than two, then do it in one. I tried to format
    the temperature stuff for easy reading.

Change show_free_areas() to not print lines for empty zones.  If no zone
output is printed, the zone is empty.  This reduces the number of lines
dumped to the console in sysrq on a large system by several thousand lines.

Change the zone temperature printouts to use one line per CPU instead of
two lines (one hot, one cold).  On a 1024 CPU, 1024 node system, this
reduces the console output by over a million lines of output.

While this is a bigger problem on large NUMA systems, it is also applicable
to smaller desktop sized and mid range NUMA systems.

page-struct.h.  This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on

_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs.  Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes
yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well.

In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good
idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions.
Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate

18 years ago[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory
Mel Gorman [Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:49:43 +0000 (01:49 -0700)]
[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory

At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active
ranges of page frames are located.  Once located, the code to calculate zone
sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar.  Some of this zone and
hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason.  This set of patches
eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code.

The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the
active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range().  When all areas have
been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and
zones.  The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture
independent manner.

Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges
Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable.
It adjusts the watermarks slightly

Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig,
gensparse_defconfig and defconfig.  Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on
IA64.  Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based
machine.  These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these
patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3.

There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code
for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes
but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present.

The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of
architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy.  There should be a
greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone
and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

Additional credit;

errors

This patch:

Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node
in an architecture independent manner.  Architectures are expected to register
active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call
free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

[PATCH] JBD: 16T fixes

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be
16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block
containers.  Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require
journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common.
Still, should fix.

(some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well).

I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be
safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block

worrying about it at this point.

Eric Sandeen [Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:49:29 +0000 (01:49 -0700)]
[PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16T

I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem.  (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)

This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:

o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()

sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
       le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
       EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
      EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);

  at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
  EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
  Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.

  Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
  way should work & avoid the overflow:

  (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1

o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks

  ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
  that various bits are within the right block ranges...  on the last pass
  through, it is checking the error case

   [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)

  where "block" is the first block in the last block group.  The last
  block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
  + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1.  block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
  back around to 0.

  so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
  are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.

  Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
  for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;

(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T?  I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)

other port being wrong, but I think for o32, it is at best confusing.
__NR_fstat provides a plain (32-bit) stat while __NR_fstatat provides a
64-bit stat.  Changing the name to __NR_fstatat64 would make things more
explicit, match x86, and make the glibc port slightly easier.

The current name is more appropriate for n32 and n64, but it would be
appropriate for other 64-bit targets too, and those targets have chosen
to call it __NR_newfstatat instead.  Using the same name for MIPS would
again be more consistent and make the glibc port slightly easier.
