2011-07-20vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

2011-07-20superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-20inode: remove iprune_semDave Chinner
Now that we have per-sb shrinkers with a lifecycle that is a subset of the superblock lifecycle and can reliably detect a filesystem being unmounted, there is not longer any race condition for the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-20superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructureDave Chinner
With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

2011-07-20superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.cDave Chinner
The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

2011-07-20inode: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner
With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

2011-07-20inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblockDave Chinner
The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.

2011-07-20inode: convert inode_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu countersDave Chinner
Before we split up the inode_lru_lock, the unused inode counter needs to be made independent of the global inode_lru_lock. Convert it to per-cpu counters to do this. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-20Make ->d_sb assign-once and always non-NULLAl Viro
New helper (non-exported, fs/internal.h-only): __d_alloc(sb, name). Allocates dentry, sets its ->d_sb to given superblock and sets ->d_op accordingly. Old d_alloc(NULL, name) callers are converted to that (all of them know what superblock they want). d_alloc() itself is left only for parent != NULl case; uses __d_alloc(), inserts result into the list of parent's children. Note that now ->d_sb is assign-once and never NULL *and* ->d_parent is never NULL either. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Instead of playing with removal of LOOKUP_OPEN, mangling (and restoring) nd->path, just pass NULL to vfs_create(). The whole point of what's being done there is to suppress any attempts to open file by underlying fs, which is what nd == NULL indicates. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

a) check the right flags in ->create() (LOOKUP_OPEN, not LOOKUP_CREATE) b) default (!LOOKUP_OPEN) open_flags is O_CREAT|O_EXCL|FMODE_READ, not 0 c) lookup_instantiate_filp() should be done only with LOOKUP_OPEN; otherwise we need to issue CLOSE, lest we leak stateid on server.
