ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrier

Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to
using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe).  This patch fixes it so that we
eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered
mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the
commit block.  Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this;
if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the
checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from
being replayed.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead

spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.

The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd -
it's essentially independently testing:

if (A + B <= C)
...
if (A > C)
...

These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()

During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
transaction open).

We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
works:

1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
extend also into the part we are going to truncate).

2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
the time of the truncate.

15 years agoext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files
Theodore Ts'o [Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:34:02 +0000 (13:34 -0400)]
ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files

Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.

So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.

Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().

Staging: rt3090: remove possible conflict with rt2860

Both drivers (rt2860 and rt3090) register themselves as "rt2860" on
loading the module.

In the very rare case of somebody having two cards in his machine, one
using rt3090 and the other one using the rt2860 driver, loading both
modules would be impossible, the second one will not be loaded as the
kernel will tell you that the driver is already registered.

This was also present with rt2870/rt3070 (with both driver registering
as "rt2870"), but the code has been merged to one driver recently.

The follwoing patch fixes this potential problem until merging of
rt2860/rt3090 code to a single driver.

the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which
