      cgroup: make rebind_subsystems() handle file additions and removals with proper error handling · 3126121f
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, creating and removing cgroup files in the root directory
      are handled separately from the actual subsystem binding and unbinding
      which happens in rebind_subsystems().  Also, rebind_subsystems() users
      aren't handling file creation errors properly.  Let's integrate
      top_cgroup file handling into rebind_subsystems() so that it's simpler
      to use and everyone handles file creation errors correctly.
      
      * On a successful return, rebind_subsystems() is guaranteed to have
        created all files of the new subsystems and deleted the ones
        belonging to the removed subsystems.  After a failure, no file is
        created or removed.
      
      * cgroup_remount() no longer needs to make explicit populate/clear
        calls as it's all handled by rebind_subsystems(), and it gets proper
        error handling automatically.
      
      * cgroup_mount() has been updated such that the root dentry and cgroup
        are linked before rebind_subsystems().  Also, the init_cred dancing
        and base file handling are moved right above rebind_subsystems()
        call and proper error handling for the base files is added.  While
        at it, add a comment explaining what's going on with the cred thing.
      
      * cgroup_kill_sb() calls rebind_subsystems() to unbind all subsystems
        which now implies removing all subsystem files which requires the
        directory's i_mutex.  Grab it.  This means that files on the root
        cgroup are removed earlier - they used to be deleted from generic
        super_block cleanup from vfs.  This doesn't lead to any functional
        difference and it's cleaner to do the clean up explicitly for all
        files.
      
      Combined with the previous changes, this makes all cgroup file
      creation errors handled correctly.
      
      v2: Added comment on init_cred.
      
      v3: Li spotted that cgroup_mount() wasn't freeing tmp_links after base
          file addition failure.  Fix it by adding free_tmp_links error
          handling label.
      
      v4: v3 introduced build bugs which got noticed by Fengguang's awesome
          kbuild test robot.  Fixed, and shame on me.

      cgroup: use for_each_subsys() instead of for_each_root_subsys() in cgroup_populate/clear_dir() · b420ba7d
      Tejun Heo authored
      rebind_subsystems() will be updated to handle file creations and
      removals with proper error handling and to do that will need to
      perform file operations before actually adding the subsystem to the
      hierarchy.
      
      To enable such usage, update cgroup_populate/clear_dir() to use
      for_each_subsys() instead of for_each_root_subsys() so that they
      operate on all subsystems specified by @subsys_mask whether that
      subsystem is currently bound to the hierarchy or not.

      cgroup: update error handling in cgroup_populate_dir() · bee55099
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_populate_dir() didn't use to check whether the actual file
      creations were successful and could return success with only subset of
      the requested files created, which is nasty.
      
      This patch udpates cgroup_populate_dir() so that it either succeeds
      with all files or fails with no file.
      
      v2: The original patch also converted for_each_root_subsys() usages to
          for_each_subsys() without explaining why.  That part has been
          moved to a separate patch.

      cgroup: separate out cgroup_base_files[] handling out of cgroup_populate/clear_dir() · 628f7cd4
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_populate/clear_dir() currently take @base_files and adds and
      removes, respectively, cgroup_base_files[] to the directory.  File
      additions and removals are being reorganized for proper error handling
      and more dynamic handling for the unified hierarchy, and mixing base
      and subsys file handling into the same functions gets a bit confusing.
      
      This patch moves base file handling out of cgroup_populate/clear_dir()
      into their users - cgroup_mount(), cgroup_create() and
      cgroup_destroy_locked().
      
      Note that this changes the behavior of base file removal.  If
      @base_files is %true, cgroup_clear_dir() used to delete files
      regardless of cftype until there's no files left.  Now, only files
      with matching cfts are removed.  As files can only be created by the
      base or registered cftypes, this shouldn't result in any behavior
      difference.

      cgroup: fix cgroup_add_cftypes() error handling · 9ccece80
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_add_cftypes() uses cgroup_cfts_commit() to actually create the
      files; however, both functions ignore actual file creation errors and
      just assume success.  This can lead to, for example, blkio hierarchy
      with some of the cgroups with only subset of interface files populated
      after cfq-iosched is loaded under heavy memory pressure, which is
      nasty.
      
      This patch updates cgroup_cfts_commit() and cgroup_add_cftypes() to
      guarantee that all files are created on success and no file is created
      on failure.

      cgroup: fix error path of cgroup_addrm_files() · b1f28d31
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_addrm_files() mishandled error return value from
      cgroup_add_file() and returns error iff the last file fails to create.
      As we're in the process of cleaning up file add/rm error handling and
      will reliably propagate file creation failures, there's no point in
      keeping adding files after a failure.
      
      Replace the broken error collection logic with immediate error return.
      While at it, add lockdep assertions and function comment.

      cgroup: minor updates around cgroup_clear_directory() · 8f89140a
      Tejun Heo authored
      * Rename it to cgroup_clear_dir() and make it take the pointer to the
        target cgroup instead of the the dentry.  This makes the function
        consistent with its counterpart - cgroup_populate_dir().
      
      * Move cgroup_clear_directory() invocation from cgroup_d_remove_dir()
        to cgroup_remount() so that the function doesn't have to determine
        the cgroup pointer back from the dentry.  cgroup_d_remove_dir() now
        only deals with vfs, which is slightly cleaner.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any functional differences.

       "The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
        that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
        been marked for stable.
      
        As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
        about.  These include:
      
        New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
        ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
        The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
        the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
        dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
        function.
      
        Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
        "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
        WARN_ON() is triggered.  This is useful if you want to debug what
        caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
        ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it.  There's
        also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot

      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit d2aae847.
      
      It is completely and utterly broken.  Module install should not build
      any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is
      complete and utter sh*t.
      
      The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make
      module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root)
      absolutely must not build any files.  They should only ever copy the
      already-built files over.
      
      So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong.
      
      If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should*
      get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

      zswap: add to mm/ · 2b281117
      Seth Jennings authored
      zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
      process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
      them in a RAM-based memory pool.  This can result in a significant I/O
      reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
      RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
      workload performance.
      
      It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
      compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis.  This
      functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
      the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
      pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.
      
      This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/

      zbud: add to mm/ · 4e2e2770
      Seth Jennings authored
      zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It
      is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
      While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
      deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
      density approach when reclaim will be used.
      
      zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
      in a single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
      justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
      "right justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if
      either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
      slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
      possible free region within the zbud page.
      
      zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density.  The ratio of
      zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can
      never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
      uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.
      
      This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
      by zcache in the driver/staging tree.  The rewrite was necessary to
      remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
      throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
      used by zsmalloc and others.
      
      This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

      dm: add switch target · 9d0eb0ab
      Jim Ramsay authored
      dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices
      efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions
      but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping
      representation such as dm-stripe.
      
      Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell
      EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as
      possible in the hope that others may benefit.
      
      Originally developed by Jim Ramsay. Simplified by Mikulas Patocka.

      This reorder actually improves performance by 20% (from 39.1s to 32.8s)
      on x86-64 quad core Opteron.
      
      I have no explanation for this, possibly it makes some other entries are
      better cache-aligned.

      dm: optimize use SRCU and RCU · 83d5e5b0
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
      "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
      sleepable-rcu.
      
      Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
      get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
      and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
      dm_put_live_table unlocks it.
      
      dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
      dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
      non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.
      
      If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
      dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

      dm bufio: submit writes outside lock · 2480945c
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch changes dm-bufio so that it submits write I/Os outside of the
      lock. If the number of submitted buffers is greater than the number of
      requests on the target queue, submit_bio blocks. We want to block outside
      of the lock to improve latency of other threads that may need the lock.
