[RFCv2][PATCH 2/7] fs: use RCU for free_super() vs. __sb_start_write()

[RFCv2][PATCH 2/7] fs: use RCU for free_super() vs. __sb_start_write()

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Currently, __sb_start_write() and freeze_super() can race with
each other.  __sb_start_write() uses a smp_mb() to ensure that
freeze_super() can see its write to sb->s_writers.counter and
that it can see freeze_super()'s update to sb->s_writers.frozen.
This all seems to work fine.

But, this smp_mb() makes __sb_start_write() the single hottest
function in the kernel if I sit in a loop and do tiny write()s to
tmpfs over and over.  This is on a very small 2-core system, so
it will only get worse on larger systems.

This _seems_ like an ideal case for RCU.  __sb_start_write() is
the RCU read-side and is in a very fast, performance-sensitive
path.  freeze_super() is the RCU writer and is in an extremely
rare non-performance-sensitive path.

Instead of doing and smp_wmb() in __sb_start_write(), we do
rcu_read_lock().  This ensures that a CPU doing freeze_super()
can not proceed past its synchronize_rcu() until the grace
period has ended and the 's_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_WRITE'
is visible to __sb_start_write().

One question here: Does the work that __sb_start_write() does in
a previous grace period becomes visible to freeze_super() after
its call to synchronize_rcu()?  It _seems_ like it should, but it
seems backwards to me since __sb_start_write() is the "reader" in
this case.

This patch increases the number of writes/second that I can do
by 5.6%.

Does anybody see any holes with this?

I believe yes. Because all accesses (be it reads or writes) must finish
before the current RCU period finishes. And synchronize_rcu() must make
sure that any code (loads / stores) after it execute only after the RCU
period has finished...

The patch looks good to me. You can add:

[RFCv2][PATCH 3/7] fs: fsnotify: replace memory barrier in __sb_end_write() with RCU

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

If I sit in a loop and do write()s to small tmpfs files,
__sb_end_write() is third-hottest kernel function due to its
smp_mb().

__sb_end_write() uses the barrier to avoid races with freeze_super()
and its calls to sb_wait_write().  But, now that freeze_super() is
calling synchronize_rcu() before each sb_wait_write() call, we can
use that to our advantage.

The synchronize_rcu() ensures that all __sb_end_write() will see
freeze_super()'s updates to s_writers.counter.  That, in turn,
guarantees that __sb_end_write() will try to wake up any subsequent
call by freeze_super() to sb_wait_write().

This has nothing to do with fsnotify so just remove it from the subject
line please. Thanks!

[RFCv2][PATCH 4/7] fsnotify: encapsulate embedded fsnotify data in a single spot

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Both inodes and vfsmounts have fsnotify data embedded in them.
The data is always a "mask" and a "mark".  Take those two
fields and move them in to a new structure: struct fsnotify_head.

We will shortly be adding a new field to this.

This also lets us get rid of the ugly #ifdef in 'struct inode'.

In searching for i_fsnotify_mark, my regex found the fsnotify_mark
comment about g_list.  I think the comment was wrong and corrected
it.

Umm, doesn't this grow struct inode due to padding? I'm not sure whether the

isn't)...

[RFCv2][PATCH 5/7] fsnotify: use fsnotify_head for vfsmount data

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Use the new 'struct fsnotify_head' for the vfsmount fsnotify data,
just like we did for inodes in the last patch.

[RFCv2][PATCH 7/7] fsnotify: track when ignored mask clearing is needed

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

According to Jan Kara:

	You can have ignored mask set without any of the
	notification masks set and you are expected to clear the
	ignored mask on the first IN_MODIFY event.

But, the only way we currently have to go and find if we need to
do this ignored-mask-clearing is to go through the mark lists
and look for them.  That mark list iteration requires an
srcu_read_lock() which has a memory barrier and can be expensive.

The calculation of 'has_ignore' is pretty cheap because we store
it next to another value which we are updating and we do it
inside of a loop we were already running.

This patch will really only matter when we have a workload where
a file is being modified often _and_ there is an active fsnotify
mark on it.  Otherwise the checks against *_fsnotify.marks.first
will keep us out of the expensive srcu_read_lock() call.

So this is a nice optimization but definitely not worth growing struct
inode.  We could use one bit in the mask itself for this though.

[RFCv2][PATCH 6/7] fsnotify: change fsnotify_recalc_mask() conventions

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

fsnotify_recalc_mask() currently takes a list of fsnotify_marks
and calculates a mask from them.  Now that we store the marks
and the masks together in a fsnotify_head, just pass the whole
thing in and have fsnotify_recalc_mask() set ->mask internally.
