17 years agoknfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM size

knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM size

Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any
open when it was possible to.

Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client
may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode
cached.  This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache
approaches the size of the server's total memory.

Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit.  This patch makes a
mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's
total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM.

My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where
every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about
1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory.  The new limit
works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuse

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.

Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.

Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs.  This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.

While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

Of course, the code here might actually be buggy, in which case this patch
should not be applied?

Answer:

  No this field is ignored inside linux kernel.Yes this is ugly, but it's
  the CAPI spec for all OS.

  CAPI DATA_B3 Request/Indication CAPI Message has a mandatory field which
  represent the 32 bit buffer address of the payload data.  In linux the
  payload data do not use a sperate buffer, data follows directely after the
  CAPI Message in the same skb and we use this assumption inside the drivers,
  so we can ignore this field.

  Inside the linux CAPI implemetation we never use this field, so it could
  also have no value, but since random data in a message is bad as well (e.g.
  displayed in CAPI traces) we set is to the most adequate value.

  Outside the kernel the capi20 library sets the correct addresses (there is
  an optional second field for 64 bit adresses for 64 bit systems, we do not
  use here).

cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until

CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.

Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
 We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works.  So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should

MIPS64 chip multiprocessor.  It is a new implementation replacing the
old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree.  It
supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous)

-- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the

console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq.  The
receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though.

The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is
dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired
externally.  Both were tested.  Testing included using the ports as
terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports minimum), 115200bps and a
couple of random speeds inbetween.  The modem lines were verified to
operate correctly.  No testing was performed with a use as a network

Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate.

A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate.

SLUB: faster more efficient slab determination for __kmalloc

kmalloc_index is a long series of comparisons.  The attempt to replace
kmalloc_index with something more efficient like ilog2 failed due to compiler
issues with constant folding on gcc 3.3 / powerpc.

kmalloc_index()'es long list of comparisons works fine for constant folding
since all the comparisons are optimized away.  However, SLUB also uses
kmalloc_index to determine the slab to use for the __kmalloc_xxx functions.
This leads to a large set of comparisons in get_slab().

The patch here allows to get rid of that list of comparisons in get_slab():

1. If the requested size is larger than 192 then we can simply use
   fls to determine the slab index since all larger slabs are
   of the power of two type.

2. If the requested size is smaller then we cannot use fls since there
   are non power of two caches to be considered. However, the sizes are
   in a managable range. So we divide the size by 8. Then we have only
   24 possibilities left and then we simply look up the kmalloc index
   in a table.

Code size of slub.o decreases by more than 200 bytes through this patch.

Slab allocators: support __GFP_ZERO in all allocators

A kernel convention for many allocators is that if __GFP_ZERO is passed to an
allocator then the allocated memory should be zeroed.

This is currently not supported by the slab allocators.  The inconsistency
makes it difficult to implement in derived allocators such as in the uncached
allocator and the pool allocators.

In addition the support zeroed allocations in the slab allocators does not
have a consistent API.  There are no zeroing allocator functions for NUMA node
placement (kmalloc_node, kmem_cache_alloc_node).  The zeroing allocations are
only provided for default allocs (kzalloc, kmem_cache_zalloc_node).
__GFP_ZERO will make zeroing universally available and does not require any
addititional functions.

So add the necessary logic to all slab allocators to support __GFP_ZERO.

The code is added to the hot path.  The gfp flags are on the stack and so the
cacheline is readily available for checking if we want a zeroed object.

Zeroing while allocating is now a frequent operation and we seem to be
gradually approaching a 1-1 parity between zeroing and not zeroing allocs.
The current tree has 3476 uses of kmalloc vs 2731 uses of kzalloc.
