2.5.61-mm1

[Andrew Morton]

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.61/2.5.61-mm1/

. Jens has fixed the request queue aliasing problem and we are no longer
  able to break the IO scheduler.  This was preventing the OSDL team from
  running dbt2 against recent kernels, so hopefully that is all fixed up now.

. The anticipatory scheduler is performing well.  I've included that now.

. Also included the CFQ I/O scheduler.  The kernel defaults to using the
  deadline/anticipatory scheduler.  Select CFQ by adding "elevator=cfq" to
  the kernel command line.  Do "dmesg|grep elevator" to see which one you
  are using.

. There is an updated version of the reiserfs_file_write patch here.  This
  patch addresses CPU efficiency when performing appending writes (ie: the
  usual sort).

  To do this, it requires that userspace pass "large" amounts of data into
  the write() system call.  So the filesystem returns a value of 128k in the
  stat.st_blksize field from the stat(2) system call.  In the hope that some
  applications are using that kernel-provided hint.

  Turns out that some parts of KDE (kmail, at least) were indeed using this
  hint, and it triggers a nasty bug in (at least) kmail: it is reading the
  same 128k of the file again and again and again.  It runs like a dog.
  Ed Tomlinson upgraded his KDE/kmail version and this problem went away.

  So that is something for reiserfs users to keep an eye on.

And for those interested, if you find unusual IO performance,
please try disabling AS and reporting results. Thanks.

echo 0 > /sys/block/?/iosched/antic_expire

This value defaults to 10 (ms). More than around 20 might do
funny though not harmful stuff due to a fragile bitshift.

This appears to be due to smalldevfs disagreeing with dcache_rcu over
dcache_lock conventions.

I'll drop out smalldevfs until Adam returns, and has time to look at it,
Thanks.

The versions of kmail involved were 3.04, which manifests the bug when switching
between folders with lots of entries (10,000+).  The kmail in kde 3.1 does not
have this problem.

I just tried 2.5.61 and 2.5.61-mm1 on a dell inspiron 8100.

2.5.61 is working OK, but -mm1 hung as soon as it tried to exec init.
init=/bin/bash showed the same failure.

init(8) was able to print out it's first line, announcing its version
but then stopped.  with init=/bin/bash bash did not output anything.

If you are using devfs then yes, there is a locking problem.

If you are not using devfs then please send me your .config.

Hello Andrew,

The following patch should enable smalldevfs to work with dcache_rcu. The
locking problem is because smalldevfs is written keeping fastwalk
in mind where as dcache_rcu backs out fastwalk code to 2.5.10 level.

Patch is based on 2.5.61-mm1.

Maneesh

I suspected this might happen ;)  Many thanks.

Thanks again for doing all this, really appreciate it.
Well, we're closer....
The showstopper for us is still the flock() issue. We have Mathew Wilcox's patch from
2.5.52, which we have been applying to all recent kernels. The patch is in PLM as patch id
# 1061. The issue is in BugMe as bug #94 . 
Without proper flock() we cannot stop and restart the database, which means we can't run the test. 
We've tried applying Wilcox's flock patch to -mm1, but it's doesn't go clean, and frankly we're not smart enough
to do the merge by hand -  lock code scares us. 

We just tested 2.5.61 vanilla, and 2.5.61-mm1. 

The patch applies cleanly to stock 2.5.61, and we can cycle the database.
We can't run dbt2 on stock 2.5.61, because of the scheduler bug. 
We believe the scheduler fix in -mm1 will be the ticket, but we can't try
it because of the flock() issue. So we're wedged. 
Can someone smarter than us maybe do a merge? 

thanks,
