ea941f0e2a writeback: add nr_dirtied and nr_written to /proc/vmstat
To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour adding two entries to vm_stat_items and /proc/vmstat.  This will
allow us to track the "written" and "dirtied" counts.

   # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
   nr_dirtied 3747
   # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
   nr_written 3618

f629d1c9bd mm: add account_page_writeback()
To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.

  # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
  nr_dirtied 3747
  # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
  nr_written 3618

These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance.  Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time.  It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.

These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer.  We have blktrace for more in depth understanding.  We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing.  There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts.  With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data.  Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end.  This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues.  Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.

Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written

Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat

Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.

The output is as below:

 # grep threshold /proc/vmstat
 nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223

This patch:

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting.  Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

49ac825587 memory hotplug: unify is_removable and offline detection code
Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not.  But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.

Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of
check, too.

This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2
checks to use the same logic.  Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses
the same logic.  No changes in the hotremove logic itself.

TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit,
      calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove
      sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.

1b430beee5 writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion references
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks).  There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion.  The latter will lead to more seeky IO.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.

We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
   that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
   is unfair in terms of LRU age.

Inspired by Christoph Hellwig. Thanks!

3d5992d2ac oom: add per-mm oom disable count
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing.  A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.

This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.

This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

will fail to detect the error.

e7f8567db9 resources: support allocating space within a region from the top down
Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,
if an architecture desires this.

When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource.  Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:

    [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
      [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available
      [mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
      [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available

we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first,
then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap.

With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.

We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space.  Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

196f518128 IMA: explicit IMA i_flag to remove global lock on inode_delete
Currently for every removed inode IMA must take a global lock and search
the IMA rbtree looking for an associated integrity structure.  Instead
we explicitly mark an inode when we add an integrity structure so we
only have to take the global lock and do the removal if it exists.

a178d2027d IMA: move read counter into struct inode
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in
core.  This stucture is about 120 bytes long.  Most files however
(especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need
any of this space.  The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to
know information about the number of readers and the number of writers
for every inode on the box.  At the moment we collect that information
in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space.  This
patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually
stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely
needed.

This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data.
Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still
be possible.

e96e72c45a [SCSI] libosd: Support for scatter gather write/read commands
This patch adds the Scatter-Gather (sg) API to libosd.
Scatter-gather enables a write/read of multiple none-contiguous
areas of an object, in a single call. The extents may overlap
and/or be in any order.

The Scatter-Gather list is sent to the target in what is called
a "cdb continuation segment". This is yet another possible segment
in the osd-out-buffer. It is unlike all other segments in that it
sits before the actual "data" segment (which until now was always
first), and that it is signed by itself and not part of the data
buffer. This is because the cdb-continuation-segment is considered
a spill-over of the CDB data, and is therefor signed under
OSD_SEC_CAPKEY and higher.

TODO: A new osd_finalize_request_ex version should be supplied so
the @caps received on the network also contains a size parameter
and can be spilled over into the "cdb continuation segment".

Thanks to John Chandy <john.chandy@uconn.edu> for the original
code, and investigations. And the implementation of SG support
in the osd-target.

85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

646ec4615c fs: remove inode_add_to_list/__inode_add_to_list
Split up inode_add_to_list/__inode_add_to_list.  Locking for the two
lists will be split soon so these helpers really don't buy us much
anymore.

The __ prefixes for the sb list helpers will go away soon, but until
inode_lock is gone we'll need them to distinguish between the locked
and unlocked variants.

9e38d86ff2 fs: Implement lazy LRU updates for inodes
Convert the inode LRU to use lazy updates to reduce lock and
cacheline traffic.  We avoid moving inodes around in the LRU list
during iget/iput operations so these frequent operations don't need
to access the LRUs. Instead, we defer the refcount checks to
reclaim-time and use a per-inode state flag, I_REFERENCED, to tell
reclaim that iget has touched the inode in the past. This means that
only reclaim should be touching the LRU with any frequency, hence
significantly reducing lock acquisitions and the amount contention
on LRU updates.

This also removes the inode_in_use list, which means we now only
have one list for tracking the inode LRU status. This makes it much
simpler to split out the LRU list operations under it's own lock.

cffbc8aa33 fs: Convert nr_inodes and nr_unused to per-cpu counters
The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the
addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied
to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are
initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the
counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that
we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation
without needing to care about the counters.

Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.

4a3956c790 vfs: introduce FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET for allowing negative f_pos
Now, rw_verify_area() checsk f_pos is negative or not.  And if negative,
returns -EINVAL.

But, some special files as /dev/(k)mem and /proc/<pid>/mem etc..  has
negative offsets.  And we can't do any access via read/write to the
file(device).

So introduce FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to allow negative file offsets.

7e360c38ab fs: allow for more than 2^31 files
Andrew,

Could you please review this patch, you probably are the right guy to
take it, because it crosses fs and net trees.

Note : /proc/sys/fs/file-nr is a read-only file, so this patch doesnt
depend on previous patch (sysctl: fix min/max handling in
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax())

Thanks !

[PATCH V4] fs: allow for more than 2^31 files

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :

<quote>

We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket.  This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:

        atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of
atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.
get_nr_files() is changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

Before patch (on a 64bit kernel) :
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
-18446744071562067968

After patch:
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
2147483648
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
704     0       2147483648
