freezer: unexport refrigerator() and update try_to_freeze() slightly

2011-11-21T20:32:22Z

There is no reason to export two functions for entering the refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze() doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition. * Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing. * Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of __refrigerator() if freezing(). * Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze(). * Update documentation accordingly. * While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

GFS2: Fix up REQ flags

2011-11-08T09:51:53Z

Christoph has split up REQ_PRIO from REQ_META. That means that we can drop REQ_PRIO from places where is it not needed. I'm not at all sure that the combination WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | REQ_PRIO makes any kind of sense, anyway. In addition, I've added REQ_META to one place in the code where it was missing. REQ_PRIO has been left for read/writes triggered by glock acquisition and writeback only. We can adjust it again if required, but these are the most important points from a performance perspective.

block: separate priority boosting from REQ_META

2011-08-23T12:50:29Z

Add a new REQ_PRIO to let requests preempt others in the cfq I/O schedule, and lave REQ_META purely for marking requests as metadata in blktrace. All existing callers of REQ_META except for XFS are updated to also set REQ_PRIO for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug

2011-07-14T07:59:44Z

This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has received a lot of testing. The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix. The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the syncing code, so it needs a guard added. The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision in the future. Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse Tested-by: Bob Peterson Tested-by: Abhijith Das Reported-by: Barry J. Marson Reported-by: David Teigland

GFS2: Wait properly when flushing the ail list

2011-05-21T18:21:07Z

The ail flush code has always relied upon log flushing to prevent it from spinning needlessly. This fixes it to wait on the last I/O request submitted (we don't need to wait for all of it) instead of either spinning with io_schedule or sleeping. As a result cpu usage of gfs2_logd is much reduced with certain workloads. Reported-by: Abhijith Das Tested-by: Abhijith Das Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Fix ail list traversal

2011-05-03T10:48:07Z

In the recent patches to update the AIL list code, I managed to forget that the ail list lock got dropped, even though I added a comment specifically to remind myself :( Reported-by: Barry Marson Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

GFS2: Add an AIL writeback tracepoint

GFS2: Make writeback more responsive to system conditions

2011-04-20T08:01:37Z

This patch adds writeback_control to writing back the AIL list. This means that we can then take advantage of the information we get in ->write_inode() in order to set off some pre-emptive writeback. In addition, the AIL code is cleaned up a bit to make it a bit simpler to understand. There is still more which can usefully be done in this area, but this is a good start at least.

GFS2: Use filemap_fdatawrite() to write back the AIL

2011-04-20T07:59:25Z

In order to ensure that the mapping stats (and thus the bdi) are correctly updated, this patch changes the AIL writeback to use the filemap_datawrite function. This helps prevent stalls in balance_dirty_pages() due to large amounts of dirty metadata when there is little or no dirty data around. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse
