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.

Flush the disk cache in fsync and sync to make sure data actually is
on disk on completion of these system calls.  There is a nobarrier
mount option to disable this behaviour.  It's slightly misnamed now
that barrier actually are gone, but it matches the name used by all

Christoph Hellwig e349470560 hfsplus: optimize fsync
Avoid doing unessecary work in fsync.  Do nothing unless the inode
was marked dirty, and only write the various metadata inodes out if
they contain any dirty state from this inode.  This is archived by
adding three new dirty bits to the hfsplus-specific inode which are
set in the correct places.

Christoph Hellwig 7dc4f00112 hfsplus: make sure sync writes out all metadata
hfsplus stores all metadata except for the volume headers in special
inodes.  While these are marked hashed and periodically written out
by the flusher threads, we can't rely on that for sync.  For the case
of a data integrity sync the VM has life-lock avoidance code that
avoids writing inodes again that are redirtied during the sync,
which is something that can happen easily for hfsplus.  So make sure
we explicitly write out the metadata inodes at the beginning of
hfsplus_sync_fs.

Christoph Hellwig 52399b171d hfsplus: use raw bio access for the volume headers
The hfsplus backup volume header is located two blocks from the end of
the device.  In case of device sizes that are not 4k aligned this means
we can't access it using buffer_heads when using the default 4k block
size.

Switch to using raw bios to read/write all buffer headers.  We were not
relying on any caching behaviour of the buffer heads anyway.  Additionally
always read in the backup volume header during mount to verify that we
can actually read it.

Christoph Hellwig 6f80dfe55f hfsplus: fix option parsing during remount
hfsplus only actually uses the force option during remount, but it uses
the full option parser with a fake superblock to do so.  This means remount
will fail if any nls option is set (which happens frequently with older
mount tools), even if it is the same.

Fix this by adding a simpler version of the parser that only parses the force
option for remount.

 - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of

SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR is always specified. No point in checking it.

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).
