nsec_t predates ktime_t and has mostly been superseded by it. In the few places that are left it's better to make it explicit that we're dealing with 64 bit values here. Signed-off-by:

Now that it_real_value is gone, the last user of DEFINE_KTIME and ktime_to_clock_t are also gone, so remove it before someone starts using it again. Signed-off-by:

Remove the it_real_value from /proc/*/stat, during 1.2.x was the last time it returned useful data (as it was directly maintained by the scheduler), now it's only a waste of time to calculate it. Return 0 instead. Signed-off-by:

nanosleep is the only user of the expired state, so let it manage this itself, which makes the hrtimer code a bit simpler. The remaining time is also only calculated if requested. Signed-off-by:

Pass current time to hrtimer_forward(). This allows to use the softirq time in the timer base when the forward function is called from the timer callback. Other places pass current time with a call to timer->base->get_time(). Signed-off-by:

Thomas Gleixner authored
The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick. Retrieve the current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling base->get_time() for each timer base. Store the time in the base structure and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the code open for new base clocks.

There is no valid reason why we can't support "nobh" option for filesystems with blocksize != PAGESIZE. This patch lets them use "nobh" option for writeback mode for blocksize < pagesize. Signed-off-by:

Mingming Cao recently added multi-block allocation support for ext3, currently used only by DIO. I added support to map multiple blocks for mpage_readpages(). This patch add support for ext3_get_block() to deal with multi-block mapping. Basically it renames ext3_direct_io_get_blocks() as ext3_get_block(). Signed-off-by:

Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have ->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO and makes it users use get_block() instead. Signed-off-by:
-
Badari Pulavarty authored
This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping information for multiple blocks at the same time. b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats actually mapped. Only the filesystems who care to use this information and provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so. No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

Increase the size of the buffer_head b_size field (only) for 64 bit platforms. Update some old and moldy comments in and around the structure as well. The b_size increase allows us to perform larger mappings and allocations for large I/O requests from userspace, which tie in with other changes allowing the get_block_t() interface to map multiple blocks at once.

Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed, before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to allocate. This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of the inode's reservation window. Signed-off-by:

Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks at the same time.

Add support for multiple block allocation in ext3-get-blocks(). Look up the disk block mapping and count the total number of blocks to allocate, then pass it to ext3_new_block(), where the real block allocation is performed. Once multiple blocks are allocated, prepare the branch with those just allocated blocks info and finally splice the whole branch into the block mapping tree. Signed-off-by:

Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time. This is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload. I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation with current ext3. The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort basis. More description about the implementation could be found here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2 The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5 patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs. The break ups are: [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks() [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate (called via ext3_new_block()). [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks() [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call. Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench. The following numbers collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches. 1G file DIO write: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m31.275s 0m31.161s user 0m0.000s 0m0.000s sys 0m3.384s 0m0.564s 1G file DIO read: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m30.733s 0m30.624s user 0m0.000s 0m0.004s sys 0m0.748s 0m0.380s Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system time. This patch: Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call. This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust. He says: The type "sector_t" is heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an offset/handle to a block, and is subject to a supposedly block-specific configuration option: CONFIG_LBD. Despite this, it is used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of bytes on the stack whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs(). So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD is disabled. - struct kstatfs Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64. f_blocks f_bfree f_bavail f_files f_ffree Signed-off-by:

Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF. - CONFIG_LSF Add new configuration parameter. - blkcnt_t On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t, blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is defined as unsigned long. On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long. - inode.i_blocks Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t. Signed-off-by:

This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture. o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits. The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has the same problem. o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an invalid block number to disk inode. The cause is the same as above too. o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from i_blocks via inode_get_bytes(). If the file is over 2TB, the change of usage is less than expected. The cause is the same as above too. o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with CONFIG_LBD disabled. [PATCH 3/3] We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem and a large file. It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB file returned invalid st_blocks".
