[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks

Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once

Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.

I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2

The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:

 [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
 [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
 [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
 (called via ext3_new_block()).
 [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
 [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
 of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
 possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.

Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.

 1G file DIO write:
  2.6.15 2.6.15+patches

 user    0m0.000s 0m0.000s

 user    0m0.000s 0m0.004s
 sys     0m0.748s 0m0.380s

Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
time.

This patch:

Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.

This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

[PATCH] 2TB files: change type of kstatfs entries

This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust.  He says: The type "sector_t" is
heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an offset/handle to a block,
and is subject to a supposedly block-specific configuration option:
CONFIG_LBD.  Despite this, it is used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of
bytes on the stack whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs().

So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network
filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD is disabled.

- struct kstatfs
  Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64.

[PATCH] 2TB files: st_blocks is invalid when calling stat64

This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture.

o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks
  has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits.  The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has
  the same problem.

o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an
  invalid block number to disk inode.  The cause is the same as above too.

o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from
  i_blocks via inode_get_bytes().  If the file is over 2TB, the change of
  usage is less than expected.  The cause is the same as above too.

o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid
  on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with
  CONFIG_LBD disabled.  [PATCH 3/3]

We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem
and a large file.  It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB
file returned invalid st_blocks".

Andrew Morton [Sun, 26 Mar 2006 09:37:32 +0000 (01:37 -0800)]
[PATCH] remove fixup_cpu_present_map()

Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
no-op.  That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.

So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().

A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
smp_prepare_cpus()).  fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.

If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.

The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

[PATCH] tlclk: fix handling of device major

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the

present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume,
an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module.

[PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure

Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems.  That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

Pass the size, not a pointer to the size, to efi_mem_attribute_range().

This function validates memory regions for the /dev/mem read/write/mmap paths.
The pointer allows arches to reduce the size of the range, but I think that's
unnecessary complexity.  Simplifying it will let me use
efi_mem_attribute_range() to improve the ia64 ioremap() implementation.

[PATCH] ia64: use i386 dmi_scan.c

Enable DMI table parsing on ia64.

Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386
dmi_scan.c on x86_64.  dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or
memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found.

This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64
tree.  In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable
systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than
brute-force searching from 0xF0000.  On non-EFI systems, it continues the
brute-force search.

My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with
latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor
does it have an ACPI SPMI table.  Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx
EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for
obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

[PATCH] i386: export: memory more than 4G through /proc/iomem

Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device
memory.  But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB.  This leads to
problems for kexec/kdump.

Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a
memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced.  Given the
fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to
see and use that memory.

Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the
system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers.  After a crash new kernel
parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared
accordingly.  As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees
that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it.  Hence vmcore is truncated
and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system.

This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.

This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.

The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.

Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
