Nick Piggin fb045adb99 fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

Nick Piggin fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Arnd Bergmann 3768744cfe BKL: Remove BKL from fat
The lock_kernel in fat_put_super is not needed because
it only protects the super block itself and we know that
no other thread can reach it because we are about to
kfree the object.

In the two fill_super functions, this converts the locking
to use lock_super like elsewhere in the fat code. This
is probably not needed either, but is consistent and puts
us on the safe side.

If we didn't check sb->s_dirt, it will update the FSINFO
unconditionally. It will reduce the filetime of flash base device.

So, this checks sb->s_dirt. sb->s_dirt is racy, however FSINFO is just

filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of

of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

Christoph Hellwig 8c85e12512 remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_super
We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.

Exceptions:

 - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
   affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
 - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
   the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
   here..

Steven Whitehouse a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

Linus Torvalds 5f22ca9b13 vfat: fix 'sync' mount deadlock due to BKL->lock_super conversion
There was another FAT BKL conversion deadlock reported by Bart
Trojanowski due to the BKL being used as a recursive lock by FAT, which
was missed because it only triggers with 'sync' (or 'dirsync') mounts.

The recursion worked for the BKL, but after the conversion to lock_super
(which uses a mutex), it just deadlocks.

Thanks to Bart for debugging this and testing the fix.  The lock
debugging information from the original report:

   =======================

where the deadlock is due to the nesting of lock_super from vfat_unlink
to fat_write_inode:

 - do_unlinkat
   - vfs_unlink
     - vfat_unlink
       * lock_super
       - fat_remove_entries
         - fat_sync_inode
           - fat_write_inode
             * lock_super

and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.

The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact).  The only
code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).

Bart reports:
 "Looks good.  I ran 10 parallel processes creating 1M files truncating
  them, writing to them again and then deleting them.  This patch fixes
  the issue I ran into.

Alexey Dobriyan 51cc50685a SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor
Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

Joe Peterson b271e067c8 fatfs: add UTC timestamp option
Provide a new mount option ("tz=UTC") for DOS (vfat/msdos) filesystems,
allowing timestamps to be in coordinated universal time (UTC) rather than
local time in applications where doing this is advantageous.

In particular, portable devices that use fat/vfat (such as digital
cameras) can benefit from using UTC in their internal clocks, thus
avoiding daylight saving time errors and general time ambiguity issues.
The user of the device does not have to worry about changing the time when
moving from place or when daylight saving changes.

The new mount option, when set, disables the counter-adjustment that Linux
currently makes to FAT timestamp info in anticipation of the normal
userspace time zone correction.  When used in this new mode, all daylight
saving time and time zone handling is done in userspace as is normal for
many other filesystems (like ext3).  The default mode, which remains
unchanged, is still appropriate when mounting volumes written in Windows
(because of its use of local time).

I originally based this patch on one submitted last year by Paul Collins,
but I updated it to work with current source and changed variable/option
naming.  Ogawa Hirofumi (who maintains these filesystems) and I discussed
this patch at length on lkml, and he suggested using the option name in
the attached version of the patch.  Barry Bouwsma pointed out a good
addition to the patch as well.

Linus Torvalds 8f5934278d Replace BKL with superblock lock in fat/msdos/vfat
This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the
existing superblock lock instead.

The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private
spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been
dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just
a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do.

As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible
latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to
the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for
entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.
