12 years agohfsplus: add on-disk layout declarations related to attributes tree
Vyacheslav Dubeyko [Fri, 9 Nov 2012 03:05:00 +0000 (14:05 +1100)]
hfsplus: add on-disk layout declarations related to attributes tree

Current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver treats as
extended attributes only two fields (fdType and fdCreator) of user_info
field in file description record (struct hfsplus_cat_file).  It is
possible to get or set only these two fields as extended attributes.  But
HFS+ treats as com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute an union of
user_info and finder_info fields as for file (struct hfsplus_cat_file) as
for folder (struct hfsplus_cat_folder).  Moreover, current mainline
implementation of hfsplus file system driver doesn't support special
metadata file - attributes tree.

Mac OS X 10.4 and later support extended attributes by making use of the
HFS+ filesystem Attributes file B*-tree feature which allows for named
forks.  Mac OS X supports only inline extended attributes, limiting their
size to 3802 bytes.  Any regular file may have a list of extended
attributes.  HFS+ supports an arbitrary number of named forks.  Each
attribute is denoted by a name and the associated data.  The name is a
null-terminated Unicode string.  It is possible to list, to get, to set,
and to remove extended attributes from files or directories.

It exists some peculiarity during getting of extended attributes list by
means of getfattr utility.  The getfattr utility expects prefix "user."
before any extended attribute's name.  So, it ignores any names that don't
contained such prefix.  Such behavior of getfattr utility results in
unexpected empty output of extended attributes list even in the case when
file (or folder) contains extended attributes.  It needs to use empty
string as regular expression pattern for names matching (getfattr
--match="").

For support of extended attributes in HFS+:

1. It was added necessary on-disk layout declarations related to
   Attributes tree into hfsplus_raw.h file.

2. It was added attributes.c file with implementation of functionality
   of manipulation by records in Attributes tree.

3. It was reworked hfsplus_listxattr, hfsplus_getxattr,
   hfsplus_setxattr functions in ioctl.c.  Moreover, it was added
   hfsplus_removexattr method.

This patch:

Add all neccessary on-disk layout declarations related to attributes
file.

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app

It is not currently possible to reliably delete epoll items when using the
same epoll set from multiple threads.  After calling epoll_ctl with
EPOLL_CTL_DEL, another thread might still be executing code related to an
event for that epoll item (in response to epoll_wait).  Therefore the
deleting thread does not know when it is safe to delete resources
pertaining to the associated epoll item because another thread might be
using those resources.

The deleting thread could wait an arbitrary amount of time after calling
epoll_ctl with EPOLL_CTL_DEL and before deleting the item, but this is
inefficient and could result in the destruction of resources before
another thread is done handling an event returned by epoll_wait.

This patch enhances epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables
an epoll item.  If epoll_ctl returns -EBUSY in this case, then another
thread may handling a return from epoll_wait for this item.  Otherwise if
epoll_ctl returns 0, then it is safe to delete the epoll item.  This
allows multiple threads to use a mutex to determine when it is safe to
delete an epoll item and its associated resources, which allows epoll
items to be deleted both efficiently and without error in a multi-threaded
environment.  Note that EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE is only useful in conjunction
with EPOLLONESHOT, and using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on an epoll item without
EPOLLONESHOT returns -EINVAL.

This patch also adds a new test_epoll self-test program to both
demonstrate the need for this feature and test it.

percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarily

Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely.  Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.

With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.

percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.

Also.  With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.

(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.

If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK.  The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is

12 years agoswap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
Shaohua Li [Fri, 9 Nov 2012 03:04:35 +0000 (14:04 +1100)]
swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead

The swapin readahead does a blind readahead whether or not the swapin is
sequential.  This is ok for harddisk because large reads have relatively
small costs and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed
easily.  But for SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small
one.  If readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant
overhead

This patch addes a simple random read detection similar to file mmap
readahead.  If a random read is detected, swapin readahead will be
skipped.  This improves a lot for a swap workload with random IO in a fast
SSD.

I run anonymous mmap write micro benchmark, which will triger swapin/swapout.

runtime changes with patch
randwrite harddisk -38.7%
seqwrite harddisk -1.1%
randwrite SSD -46.9%
seqwrite SSD +0.3%

For both harddisk and SSD, the randwrite swap workload run time is reduced
significantly.  Sequential write swap workload hasn't chanage.

Interestingly, the randwrite harddisk test is improved too.  This might be
because swapin readahead needs to allocate extra memory, which further
tights memory pressure, so more swapout/swapin.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message

I would like to resurrect Dave's patch.  The last time it was posted was
here https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/16/250 and there didn't seem to be any
strong opposition.

Kosaki was worried about possible excessive logging when somebody drops
caches too often (but then he claimed he didn't have a strong opinion on
that) but I would say opposite.  If somebody does that then I would really
like to know that from the log when supporting a system because it almost
for sure means that there is something fishy going on.  It is also worth
mentioning that only root can write drop caches so this is not an flooding
attack vector.

I am bringing that up again because this can be really helpful when
chasing strange performance issues which (surprise surprise) turn out to
be related to artificially dropped caches done because the admin thinks
this would help...

I have just refreshed the original patch on top of the current mm tree
but I could live with KERN_INFO as well if people think that KERN_NOTICE
is too hysterical.

:
: There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
: suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
: running in "tip top shape".  Perhaps adding some kernel
: documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
:
: If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
: Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder
: to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
: "workaround" to limit the size of the caches.
:
: It's a great debugging tool, and is really handy for doing things
: like repeatable benchmark runs.  So, add a bit more documentation
: about it, and add a little KERN_NOTICE.  It should help developers
: who are chasing down reclaim-related bugs.

Commits 2139cbe627b89 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") and

12 years agomm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin
David Rientjes [Fri, 9 Nov 2012 03:04:34 +0000 (14:04 +1100)]
mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.

The usage is

short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);

to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.

This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags.  KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.

This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.
