ktrace_enter() is consuming vast amounts of CPU time due to the use of a single global lock for protecting buffer index increments. Change it to use per-buffer atomic counters - this reduces ktrace_enter() overhead during a trace intensive test on a 4p machine from 58% of all CPU time to 12% and halves test runtime.

XFS changes the c/mtime of an inode when truncating it to the same size. The c/mtime is only supposed to change if the size is changed. Not to be confused with ftruncate, where the c/mtime is supposed to be changed even if the size is not changed. The Linux VFS encodes this semantic difference in the flags it sends down to ->setattr, which XFS currently ignores. We need to make XFS pay attention to the VFS flags and hence Do The Right Thing.

As Dave pointed out after the export ops changes we now always encode the parent into the filehandle for regular files, but it's not actually needed when the filesystem is export with no_subtree_check. This one-liner fixes xfs_fs_encode_fh to skip encoding the parent unless nessecary. SGI-PV: 976035 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30535a Signed-off-by:

Instead of of xfs_get_dir_entry use a macro to get the xfs_inode from the dentry in the callers and grab the reference manually. Only grab the reference once as it's fine to keep it over the dmapi calls. (And even that reference is actually superflous in Linux but I'll leave that for another patch) SGI-PV: 976035 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30531a Signed-off-by:

- use proper goto based unwinding instead of the current mess of multiple conditionals - rename ip to inode because that's the normal convention for Linux inodes while ip is the convention for xfs_inodes - remove unlikely checks for the default_acl - branches marked unlikely might lead to extreme branch bredictor slowdons if taken and for some workloads a default acl is quite common - properly indent the switch statements - remove xfs_has_fs_struct as nfsd has a fs_struct in any semi-recent kernel SGI-PV: 976035 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30529a Signed-off-by:

Now that we update the log tail LSN less frequently on transaction completion, we pass the contention straight to the global log state lock (l_iclog_lock) during transaction completion. We currently have to take this lock to decrement the iclog reference count. there is a reference count on each iclog, so we need to take þhe global lock for all refcount changes. When large numbers of processes are all doing small trnasctions, the iclog reference counts will be quite high, and the state change that absolutely requires the l_iclog_lock is the except rather than the norm. Change the reference counting on the iclogs to use atomic_inc/dec so that we can use atomic_dec_and_lock during transaction completion and avoid the need for grabbing the l_iclog_lock for every reference count decrement except the one that matters - the last.

When hundreds of processors attempt to commit transactions at the same time, they can contend on the AIL lock when updating the tail LSN held in the in-core log structure. At the moment, the tail LSN is only needed when actually writing out an iclog, so it really does not need to be updated on every single transaction completion - only those that result in switching iclogs and flushing them to disk. The result is that we reduce the number of times we need to grab the AIL lock and the log grant lock by up to two orders of magnitude on large processor count machines. The problem has previously been hidden by AIL lock contention walking the AIL list which was recently solved and uncovered this issue.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup. We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do this now is during inode writeback. Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built when we first read in the inodes. This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness. To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time. Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly dirtied inode. Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid blocking or extra I/O being issued.

The only difference between the functions is one passes an inode for the lookup, the other passes an inode number. However, they don't do the same validity checking or set all the same state on the buffer that is returned yet they should. Factor the functions into a common implementation.

On a forced shutdown, xfs_finish_reclaim() will skip flushing the inode. If the inode flush lock is not already held and there is an outstanding xfs_iflush_done() then we might free the inode prematurely. By acquiring and releasing the flush lock we will synchronise with xfs_iflush_done(). SGI-PV: 909874 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30468a Signed-off-by:

The num_interrupt_in, num_bulk_in, and other checks in the usb-serial code are just wrong, there are too many different devices out there with different numbers of endpoints. We need to just be sticking with the device ids instead of trying to catch this kind of thing. It broke too many different devices.

This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as the PCI domains work. The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok. replaces pcibios_scan_root by pci_scan_bus_parented... but in pcibios_scan_root we have a check about scanned busses.
