Q&A wrt this patch: - A really short guide to how to get up and running with this filesystem. Reiser4 is a file system based on dancing tree algorithms, and is described at http://www.namesys.com. One should be able to get it up and running just like any of the other filesystems supported by Linux. Configure it to be compiled either builtin or as a module. Create reiser4 filesystem with mkfs.reiser4, mount and use it. More detailed info can be found at http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/LATEST/READ.ME. - The direct URL which people use to obtain the mkfs tool for this filesystem. Also fsck and anything else. Reiser4 userland tools can be obtained at ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs. ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/README contains detailed instructions on how to compile and install these tools. Also all reiser4 progs have man pages. - Any known shortcomings, caveats, etc. Reiser4 has been tested on i386 yet only. Quota support is not ready yet. Should be ready soon. Reiser4 was tested extensively, and we got to where the mailing list was not able to hit any bugs, but then we told people that, got an order of magnitude increase in users, and they are able to hit bugs that we are working on now. Reiser's Law of Software Engineering: Each order of magnitude increase in users finds more bugs, in a quantity equal to the previous order of magnitude increase in users. Success for software developers is measured by how long the frustration lasts. Only the very core functionality is working. Exotic plugins, an API for multiple operation transactions and accessing multiple small files in one syscall, compression, inheritance, all have been postponed until after the core functionality is shipped. The compression plugin needs a code review before anyone should use it. - A statement on compatibility with reiserfs3 filesytems. To upgrade from reiserfs V3 to V4, use tar, or sponsor us to write a convertfs. - Bear in mind that people will immediately benchmark this filesytem, and first impressions count. Now is your chance to communicate any tuning guidelines, mount options or whatever which you'd like people to understand BEFORE they start publishing benchmark info. Reiser4 is not tuned for fsync/sync/O_SYNC performance yet. If you see results that are much different from those at www.namesys.com/benchmarks.html, let us know. If you see performance characteristics that don't quite make sense, email reiserfs-list@namesys.com, such things are always of interest. reiser4 is not tuned for mmaping and dirtying more than physical ram like IOzone does. This is quite different in its code path from writing and dirtying more than physical ram. There are those who think that what IOZone does is rarely done by real programs, and therefor we should not bother to optimize what it does. All I know is, this month we are not optimized for it. Please consider its space savings when you benchmark it also.

generic implementaion and changes fs-writeback.c:sync_sb_inodes() to call filesystem's sync_inodes if it is defined or generic implementaion otherwise. This new operation allows filesystem to decide itself what to flush. Reiser4 flushes dirty pages on basic of atoms, not of inodes. sync_sb_inodes used to call address space flushing method (writepages) for every dirty inode. For reiser4 it caused having to commit atoms unnecessarily often. This turned into substantial slowdown. Having this method helped to fix that problem. Signed-off-by:

"captured" by some atom. However, outside reiser4 context dirty page can not be captured in some cases, as it is accompanied with specific work (jnode creation, etc). Reiser4 recognizes such "anonymous" pages (i.e. pages that were dirtied outside of reiser4) by the tag PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY. Pages dirtied inside reiser4 context are not tagged at all: we don't need this. Indeed, once page is dirtied and captured, it is attached to a jnode (a special header to keep a track of transactions). reiser4_set_page_dirty_internal() was the internal reiser4 function that set dirty bit without tagging the page. Having such internal function led to real problems (incorrect task io accounting, etc. because of not updating this internal "friend"). Solution: The following patch adds a core library function that sets a dirty bit without tagging the page.

gzip at compression, but faster at extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on: Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's much faster to extract, at least in that case. This version applies to kernel 2.6.31-rc3 This part contains: - Makefile routine to support lzo compression - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in compressed kernels - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here - config dialog for kernel compression Signed-off-by:

for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including <linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are not available in the decompression environment. However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so <linux/types.h> should be enough Signed-off-by:

driver for the Freescale MPC85xx memory controller. The only difference between the two processors are in the CS_BNDS register parsing code, which has been changed so it will work on both processors. The L2 cache controller does not exist on the MPC83xx, but the OF subsystem will not use the driver if the device is not present in the OF device tree. I had to change the nr_pages calculation to make the math work out. I checked it on my board and did the math by hand for a 64GB 85xx using 64K pages. In both cases, nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE comes out to the correct value. Signed-off-by:

both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic mode). With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work, following steps are necessary, in that order. * Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit * Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the first interrupt should be generated * Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf ) When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation. Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval. Signed-off-by:
