We recently removed the acpi_device_uid() interface because nobody used it. I don't think it's essential here either. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Minor code cleanup, no functional change. Instead of remembering what HIDs & CIDs to add later, just add them immediately. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Every acpi_device has at least one ID (if there's no _HID or _CID, we give it a synthetic or default ID). So there's no longer a need to check whether an ID exists; we can just use it. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

We now keep a single list of IDs that includes both the _HID and any _CIDs. We no longer need to keep track of whether the device has a _CID. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

There's no need to treat _HID and _CID differently. Keeping them in a single list makes code that uses the IDs a little simpler because it can just traverse the list rather than checking "do we have a HID?", "do we have any CIDs?"

This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID. If we build an acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO". If we don't even have that, give it a default "device" ID. Note that this means things like: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00 (a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where they didn't before. These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver), but I don't think they're harmful.

This makes \_SB_ show up as /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00 rather than "device:00". This has been broken for a loooong time (at least since 2.6.13) because device->parent is an acpi_device pointer, not a handle.

acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices. When the platform notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace again to figure out what appeared or disappeared. (We don't yet call acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.) This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

This patch adds acpi_bus_type_and_status(), which determines the type of the object and whether we want to build an acpi_device for it.

Add acpi_bus_get_status_handle() so we can get the status of a namespace object before building a struct acpi_device. This removes a use of "device->flags.dynamic_status", a cached indicator of whether _STA exists. It seems simpler and more reliable to just evaluate _STA and catch AE_NOT_FOUND errors.

acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually. This patch changes it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead. Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace(). The locking isn't so important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important. Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node first, so we need to do that by hand first.

We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it has no parent. This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root. Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM. If we traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

This patch changes the order so we enumerate in the "root, namespace, functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace" order. When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it will use the former order, so this patch isolates the order change for bisectability.

This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an acpi_device pointer. I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path, and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already have acpi_devices. This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node. We currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet. Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of its device argument. It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

This patch adds acpi_bus_get_parent(), which ascends the namespace until it finds a parent with an acpi_device. Then we use acpi_bus_get_parent() in acpi_add_single_object(), so callers don't have to figure out or keep track of the parent acpi_device.

We only pass the "type" to acpi_device_set_context() so we know whether the device has a handle to which we can attach the acpi_device pointer. But it's safer to just check for the handle directly, since it's in the acpi_device already. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Most uses of the ACPI bus device_type (ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE, ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER, etc) are during device initialization, but we do need it later for notify handler installation, since that is different for fixed hardware devices vs. namespace devices. This patch saves the device_type in the acpi_device structure, so we can check that rather than comparing against the _HID string.

In several cases, functions take handle and parent device pointers in addition to acpi_device pointers. But the acpi_device structure contains both the handle and the parent pointer, so it's pointless and error-prone to pass them all. This patch removes the unnecessary "handle" and "parent" arguments.

Commit 15b8dd53 changed info->hardware_id from a static array to a pointer. If hardware_id is non-NULL, it points to a NULL-terminated string, so we don't need to terminate it explicitly. However, it may be NULL; in that case, we *can't* add a NULL terminator. This causes a NULL pointer dereference oops for devices without _HID.

Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s. This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd, that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow. So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty. The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize. The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid repeated IO.

Currently we pin the inode->i_sb for every single inode. This increases cache traffic on sb->s_umount sem. Lets instead cache the inode sb pin state and keep the super_block pinned for as long as keep writing out inodes from the same super_block. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions. To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior. The loop in the patch is a bit ugly, should we add a dirty list for each superblock in bdi_writeback? Test in a two partition disk with attached fio script shows about 3% ~ 6% improvement.

Fix the kupdate case, which disregards wbc.more_io and stop writeback prematurely even when there are more inodes to be synced. wbc.more_io should always be respected. Also remove the pages_skipped check. It will set when some page(s) of some inode(s) cannot be written for now. Such inodes will be delayed for a while. This variable has nothing to do with whether there are other writeable inodes.

Treat bdi_start_writeback(0) as a special request to do background write, and stop such work when we are below the background dirty threshold. Also simplify the (nr_pages <= 0) checks. Since we already pass in nr_pages=LONG_MAX for WB_SYNC_ALL and background writes, we don't need to worry about it being decreased to zero.

Some filesystem may choose to write much more than ratelimit_pages before calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr(). So it is safer to determine number to write based on real number of dirtied pages. Otherwise it is possible that loop { btrfs_file_write(): dirty 1024 pages balance_dirty_pages(): write up to 48 pages (= ratelimit_pages * 1.5) } in which the writeback rate cannot keep up with dirty rate, and the dirty pages go all the way beyond dirty_thresh. The increased write_chunk may make the dirtier more bumpy. So filesystems shall be take care not to dirty too much at a time (eg. > 4MB) without checking the ratelimit.
