14 years agommc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations
Adrian Hunter [Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:17:46 +0000 (14:17 -0700)]
mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations

SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

mm: fix writeback_in_progress()

Commit 83ba7b071f3 ("writeback: simplify the write back thread queue")
broke writeback_in_progress() as in that commit we started to remove work
items from the list at the moment we start working on them and not at the
moment they are finished.  Thus if the flusher thread was doing some work
but there was no other work queued, writeback_in_progress() returned
false.  This could in particular cause unnecessary queueing of background
writeback from balance_dirty_pages() or writeout work from
writeback_sb_if_idle().

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a bit in the bdi state which
indicates that the flusher thread is processing some work and uses this
bit for writeback_in_progress() test.

NOTE: Both callsites of writeback_in_progress() (namely,
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() and balance_dirty_pages()) would actually
need a different information than what writeback_in_progress() provides.
They would need to know whether *the kind of writeback they are going to
submit* is already queued.  But this information isn't that simple to
provide so let's fix writeback_in_progress() for the time being.

writeback: merge for_kupdate and !for_kupdate cases

Unify the logic for kupdate and non-kupdate cases.  There won't be
starvation because the inodes requeued into b_more_io will later be
spliced _after_ the remaining inodes in b_io, hence won't stand in the way
of other inodes in the next run.

It avoids unnecessary redirty_tail() calls, hence the update of
i_dirtied_when.  The timestamp update is undesirable because it could
later delay the inode's periodic writeback, or may exclude the inode from
the data integrity sync operation (which checks timestamp to avoid extra
work and livelock).

===
How the redirty_tail() comes about:

It was a long story..  This redirty_tail() was introduced with
wbc.more_io.  The initial patch for more_io actually does not have the
redirty_tail(), and when it's merged, several 100% iowait bug reports
arised:

reiserfs:
        http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/93

jfs:
        commit 29a424f28390752a4ca2349633aaacc6be494db5
        JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages

ext2:
        http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04762.html

They are all old bugs hidden in various filesystems that become "visible"
with the more_io patch.  At the time, the ext2 bug is thought to be
"trivial", so not fixed.  Instead the following updated more_io patch with
redirty_tail() is merged:

http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-ext4/msg04507.html

This will in general prevent 100% on ext2 and possibly other unknown FS bugs.

14 years agowriteback: don't redirty tail an inode with dirty pages

writeback: don't redirty tail an inode with dirty pages

Avoid delaying writeback for an expire inode with lots of dirty pages, but
no active dirtier at the moment.  Previously we only do that for the
kupdate case.

Any filesystem that does delayed allocation or unwritten extent conversion
after IO completion will cause this - for example, XFS.

14 years agowriteback: balance_dirty_pages(): reduce calls to global_page_state
Wu Fengguang [Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:17:37 +0000 (14:17 -0700)]
writeback: balance_dirty_pages(): reduce calls to global_page_state

Reducing the number of times balance_dirty_pages calls global_page_state
reduces the cache references and so improves write performance on a
variety of workloads.

'perf stats' of simple fio write tests shows the reduction in cache
access.  Where the test is fio 'write,mmap,600Mb,pre_read' on AMD AthlonX2
with 3Gb memory (dirty_threshold approx 600 Mb) running each test 10
times, dropping the fasted & slowest values then taking the average &
standard deviation

average (s.d.) in millions (10^6)
2.6.31-rc8 648.6 (14.6)
+patch 620.1 (16.5)

Achieving this reduction is by dropping clip_bdi_dirty_limit as it rereads
the counters to apply the dirty_threshold and moving this check up into
balance_dirty_pages where it has already read the counters.

Also by rearrange the for loop to only contain one copy of the limit tests
allows the pdflush test after the loop to use the local copies of the
counters rather than rereading them.

In the common case with no throttling it now calls global_page_state 5
fewer times and bdi_stat 2 fewer.

Fengguang:

This patch slightly changes behavior by replacing clip_bdi_dirty_limit()
with the explicit check (nr_reclaimable + nr_writeback >= dirty_thresh) to
avoid exceeding the dirty limit.  Since the bdi dirty limit is mostly
accurate we don't need to do routinely clip.  A simple dirty limit check
would be enough.

The check is necessary because, in principle we should throttle everything
calling balance_dirty_pages() when we're over the total limit, as said by
Peter.

We now set and clear dirty_exceeded not only based on bdi dirty limits,
but also on the global dirty limit.  The global limit check is added in
place of clip_bdi_dirty_limit() for safety and not intended as a behavior
change.  The bdi limits should be tight enough to keep all dirty pages
under the global limit at most time; occasional small exceeding should be
OK though.  The change makes the logic more obvious: the global limit is
the ultimate goal and shall be always imposed.

We may now start background writeback work based on outdated conditions.
That's safe because the bdi flush thread will (and have to) double check
the states.  It reduces overall overheads because the test based on old
states still have good chance to be right.

acpi: fix bogus preemption logic

The ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() logic was introduced in commit 8bd108d
(ACPICA: add preemption point after each opcode parse).  The follow up
commits abe1dfab6138d15692c084ca70 tried to fix the preemption logic
back and forth, but nobody noticed that the usage of
in_atomic_preempt_off() in that context is wrong.

The check which guards the call of cond_resched() is:

    if (!in_atomic_preempt_off() && !irqs_disabled())

in_atomic_preempt_off() is not intended for general use as the comment
above the macro definition clearly says:

 * Check whether we were atomic before we did preempt_disable():
 * (used by the scheduler, *after* releasing the kernel lock)

On a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel the usage of in_atomic_preempt_off() works by
accident, but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y it's just broken.

The whole purpose of the ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() is to reduce the latency
on a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel, so make ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() depend on
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and remove the in_atomic_preempt_off() check.

14 years agokfifo: fix kfifo miss use of nozami.c
Stefani Seibold [Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:03:37 +0000 (18:03 -0700)]
kfifo: fix kfifo miss use of nozami.c

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead.  So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.

There are a lot of benefits:

- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
  9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
  any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO

The API was not changed.

There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure.  The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space.  Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.

Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call.  Only the really small one generates inline code.

Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.

There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo.  This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.

I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain.  But i have all tested and it works as expected.  I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code.  For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation.  For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.

The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use.  So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs.  This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation.  Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.

Here are the results of the text section usage:

Example 1:
                        kfifo_put/_get  kfifo_in/out    current kfifo
dynamic allocated       0x000002a8      0x00000291      0x00000299
in place                0x00000291      0x0000026e      0x00000273

kfifo.c                 new             old
text section size       0x00000be5      0x000008b2

As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).

The code is complete hand crafted and optimized.  The text section size is
as small as possible.  You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb.  This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.

This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.

Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users.  All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed.  So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.

This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:

kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()

The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's

This patch:

User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure.  Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

scsi: 53c700: remove dma_is_consistent usage

This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent().  We plan to remove this
API.

The driver uses the API in the following way:

BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment());

The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than
dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory
(some old systems can't).

James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the
set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different
usages by a L1 cache stride.  So it's fatal if the dma

He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this
BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.

timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data
(sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3).  (The
ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.)

This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated
signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo.  It also gives
results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally
via a sigaction-registered handler.

So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER,
__SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set.

akpm: a non-back-compatible change.  Merge into -stable to minimise the
number of kernels which are in the field and which miss this feature.

ptrace: optimize exit_ptrace() for the likely case

exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally.  We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.

Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock.  Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.

This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check.  In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> suggested to add this
check, and he reports that this change adds about 11% improvement in some
tests.

14 years agomemcg: avoid css_get()
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki [Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:03:02 +0000 (18:03 -0700)]
memcg: avoid css_get()

Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count
per a charged page.  And the reference count is kept until the page is
uncharged.  But this has 2 bad effect.

 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them
    on large smp will not scale well.
 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release",
    cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg.
 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small.

This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg.

This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove
refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as
  - check res->usage == 0.
  - check no pages on LRU.

This patch removes css's refcnt per page.  Even after this patch, at the
1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge().

But the logic is.

  - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work.
    At success, return immediately.
  - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to
    slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path,
    css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary.

So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to
shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast.

Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.
