I've gone through all the code in the kernel that
uses the big kernel lock and come up with a solution
that seems at least half-reasonable for each of them.
The decisions are somewhat arbitrary, but here is
what I'd suggest we do:
* Remove in 2.6.39:
i830, autofs3, smbfs
* Move to staging now, kill in 2.6.41 (or later):
appletalk, hpfs
* Work around in an ugly way, but keep alive:
* ufs, ipx, i810, cx25721
* Fix properly:
* usbip, go7007, adfs, x25
Some of the patches are rather tricky and I haven't
really done much proper testing, so I'd much prefer
the maintainers to pick up the patches and do the
necessary testing where possible, or even come up
with a better solution.
Arnd Bergmann (20):
drm/i810: remove the BKL
drm: remove i830 driver
staging/usbip: convert to kthread
staging/cx25721: serialize access to devlist
staging/go7007: remove the BKL
staging: Remove autofs3
staging: remove smbfs
adfs: remove the big kernel lock
hpfs: rename big kernel lock to hpfs_lock
hpfs: replace BKL with a global mutex
hpfs: move to drivers/staging
x25: remove the BKL
appletalk: move to staging
staging/appletalk: remove the BKL
ufs: remove the BKL
ipx: remove the BKL
tracing: don't trace the BKL
rtmutex-tester: remove BKL tests
drivers: remove extraneous includes of smp_lock.h
BKL: That's all, folks

From: Arnd Bergmann @ 2011-01-25 22:17 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-kernel; +Cc: Arnd Bergmann, Mikulas Patocka, linux-fsdevel
This is a preparation to make it easier to get
rid of the BKL, by just having to change one
place in the HPFS code. There is no global
state in hpfs, so all locking can be done
per superblock, and the fill_super/put_super
functions can do without it entirely.

This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
way, by replacing it with a mutex that basically
serializes the entire file system.
The only reason I hope to get away with this
is because there don't seem to be any real
users left, and the file system is going out
through the staging door anyways.
Since the mutex code is not even tested and
I don't expect anyone to do that, I'm marking
it as broken on SMP and PREEMPT kernels, so
it won't actually get used.

To: linux-kernel; +Cc: Arnd Bergmann, Mikulas Patocka, linux-fsdevel
hpfs has not seen a single patch from its maintainer
since the start of the git history, and the user base
seems to be completely gone after the end of OS/2.
I have tried to keep the file system alive as much
as possible through the BKL removal, but this its
time seems to have come. If we can find an actual
user who is willing to test patches, or even a
maintainer that can work on the code, it can easily
be moved back into the main tree.
If that does not happen, it will get removed from
the kernel tree after a few releases in staging/.

+HPFS seems to have no remaining users, and it is getting
+increasingly hard to maintain. It will be removed in one
+of the next kernel releases unless someone puts effort
+into fixing the locking. The new hpfs_lock that replaces
+the BKL has not been tested.

* [RFC 00/20] Proposal for remaining BKL users
@ 2011-01-25 22:22 Arnd Bergmann

I've gone through all the code in the kernel that
uses the big kernel lock and come up with a solution
that seems at least half-reasonable for each of them.
The decisions are somewhat arbitrary, but here is
what I'd suggest we do:
* Remove in 2.6.39:
i830, autofs3, smbfs
* Move to staging now, kill in 2.6.41 (or later):
appletalk, hpfs
* Work around in an ugly way, but keep alive:
* ufs, ipx, i810, cx25721
* Fix properly:
* usbip, go7007, adfs, x25
Some of the patches are rather tricky and I haven't
really done much proper testing, so I'd much prefer
the maintainers to pick up the patches and do the
necessary testing where possible, or even come up
with a better solution.
Arnd Bergmann (20):
drm/i810: remove the BKL
drm: remove i830 driver
staging/usbip: convert to kthread
staging/cx25721: serialize access to devlist
staging/go7007: remove the BKL
staging: Remove autofs3
staging: remove smbfs
adfs: remove the big kernel lock
hpfs: rename big kernel lock to hpfs_lock
hpfs: replace BKL with a global mutex
hpfs: move to drivers/staging
x25: remove the BKL
appletalk: move to staging
staging/appletalk: remove the BKL
ufs: remove the BKL
ipx: remove the BKL
tracing: don't trace the BKL
rtmutex-tester: remove BKL tests
drivers: remove extraneous includes of smp_lock.h
BKL: That's all, folks

I don't think that's a very good idea, there's danger
of holding it over IO and that would be really bad (as in like MINIX[1])
It would be better to do it the i810 way and check for the number of
CPUs at module init time and refuse to run if it's > 1

I thought some people really wanted to keep i830. Or was that i810?
I'll drop autofs3 and smbfs, thanks.

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the usbip and go7007 patches, I'll queue them up.

i810 needs to be kept, i830 is obsolete, see the patch changelogs
there. I assume that Dave Airlie will take both patches (i810 BKL
removal and i830 removal) into his 2.6.39 queue.

It would be good if you could also take the cx25721 patch. It's
not the nicest one I've done, but it's a bug fix nonetheless.
Thanks,

I guess you're meaning cx25821, right?
Palash should take a look on it and review. This is a device that allows
12 simultaneous streams, so, I suspect that he'll need to do some
changes at the locking schema, to avoid performance bottlenecks.

* [PATCH v2] hpfs: remove the BKL
[not found] ` <m2ipxc34aq.fsf@linux.intel.com>

To: Andi Kleen; +Cc: linux-kernel, Mikulas Patocka, linux-fsdevel
This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
by Andi Kleen.
The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
the file system can probably be done with the significant
restrictions.
The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
code as stubs, in case someone feels motivated to
make it work on SMP again.

I would be surprised if there was any measurable performance change.
The BKL was used only in the open() function to iterate the device
list, and that code is nowhere on a critical path, as far as I can tell.

Hi Mikulas,
Good to hear that you are still interested in the code. I'll make
sure we don't just remove it then, but I suppose we can still
mark it as non-SMP in the meantime.
I hope you get well soon,
