When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
free block counts.
When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
buffer becomes a bottleneck.
The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
buffer, the slower things go.
The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
sync period or just before unmount.
This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
recovery has been performed.
It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
not change under normal operation.
One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend)
the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an
application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs
to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the
file size is never seen to change.

When setting the length of the iclogbuf to write out we should just be
changing the desired byte count rather completely reassociating the buffer
memory with the buffer. Reassociating the buffer memory changes the
apparent length of the buffer and hence when we free the buffer, we don't
free all the vmap()d space we originally allocated.

Recent fixes to the filesystem freezing code introduced a vn_iowait call
in the middle of the sync code. Unfortunately, at the point where this
call was added we are holding the ilock. The ilock is needed by I/O
completion for unwritten extent conversion and now updating the file size.
Hence I/o cannot complete if we hold the ilock while waiting for I/O
completion.
Fix up the bug and clean the code up around it.

Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head.
The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth
introducing a common helpers.
This makes code about 300 lines smaller:
The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline
in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as
Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows:
2.6.22-rc1-mm1: 0x001794d5
with the previous version: 0x00179505

algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of
the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and
are jointly signing off).
The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
x86_64 with favourable results.
There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
since its much faster than zlib.

Hi,
This is the third submission of the network driver for PS3.
The differences from the previous one are:
- renamed source file names so that their prefix can match
with the module name
- added cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org line for MAINTAINER file
- changed some in copyright comments
If there are no more comments, please apply for 2.6.23.

At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.
