      virtio_balloon: Allow to resize and update the balloon stats in parallel · fd0e21c3
      Petr Mladek authored
      The virtio balloon statistics are not updated when the balloon
      is being resized. But it seems that both tasks could be done
      in parallel.
      
      stats_handle_request() updates the statistics in the balloon
      structure and then communicates with the host.
      
      update_balloon_stats() calls all_vm_events() that just reads
      some per-CPU variables. The values might change during and
      after the call but it is expected and happens even without
      this patch.
      
      update_balloon_stats() also calls si_meminfo(). It is a bit
      more complex function. It too just reads some variables and
      looks lock-less safe. In each case, it seems to be called
      lock-less on several similar locations, e.g. from post_status()
      in dm_thread_func(), or from vmballoon_send_get_target().
      
      The communication with the host is done via a separate virtqueue,
      see vb->stats_vq vs. vb->inflate_vq and vb->deflate_vq. Therefore
      it could be used in parallel with fill_balloon() and leak_balloon().
      
      This patch splits the existing work into two pieces. One is for
      updating the balloon stats. The other is for resizing of the balloon.
      It seems that they can be proceed in parallel without any
      extra locking.

      virtio_balloon: Use a workqueue instead of "vballoon" kthread · fad7b7b2
      Petr Mladek authored
      This patch moves the deferred work from the "vballoon" kthread into a
      system freezable workqueue.
      
      We do not need to maintain and run a dedicated kthread. Also the event
      driven workqueues API makes the logic much easier. Especially, we do
      not longer need an own wait queue, wait function, and freeze point.
      
      The conversion is pretty straightforward. One cycle of the main loop
      is put into a work. The work is queued instead of waking the kthread.
      
      fill_balloon() and leak_balloon() have a limit for the amount of modified
      pages. The work re-queues itself when necessary. For this, we make
      fill_balloon() to return the number of really modified pages.
      Note that leak_balloon() already did this.
      
      virtballoon_restore() queues the work only when really needed.
      
      The only complication is that we need to prevent queuing the work
      when the balloon is being removed. It was easier before because the
      kthread simply removed itself from the wait queue. We need an
      extra boolean and spin lock now.
      
      My initial idea was to use a dedicated workqueue. Michael S. Tsirkin
      suggested using a system one. Tejun Heo confirmed that the system
      workqueue has a pretty high concurrency level (256) by default.
      Therefore we need not be afraid of too long blocking.

      hpfs: don't truncate the file when delete fails · b6853f78
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem
      due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is
      available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space
      during splitting.
      
      If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to
      truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit
      7dd29d8d ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex
      and lock it on every callback from VFS").
      
      This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is
      returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to
      delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the
      delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in
      non-leaf btree node.
