* | mm, oom: base root bonus on current usageDavid Rientjes2014-01-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

| * | f2fs: introduce sysfs entry to control in-place-update policyJaegeuk Kim2013-12-231-0/+11
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs. Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place update policy that produces many additional node block writes. If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy. This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows. [sysfs entry name = ipu_policy] 0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time, 1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated, 2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold, 3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over threashold, 4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option) [sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util] This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates. The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies. For more details, see need_inplace_update() in segment.h.

* | /proc/meminfo: provide estimated available memoryRik van Riel2014-01-211-0/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today. It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files. Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload, without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree, Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low" watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo. However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the amount of free memory. It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

The open operation takes the last component of the pathname as an argument, thus is also a lookup operation, and giving the client the above guarantee means informing the client before we allow anything that would change the set of names pointing to the inode. Therefore, we need to break delegations on rename, link, and unlink. We also need to prevent new delegations from being acquired while one of these operations is in progress. We could add some completely new locking for that purpose, but it's simpler to use the i_mutex, since that's already taken by all the operations we care about. The single exception is rename. So, modify rename to take the i_mutex on the file that is being renamed. Also fix up lockdep and Documentation/filesystems/directory-locking to reflect the change.

A disabled cookie will reject or ignore further requests to: Acquire a child cookie Invalidate and update backing objects Check the consistency of a backing object Allocate storage for backing page Read backing pages Write to backing pages but still allows: Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects Uncaching of pages Relinquishment of cookies Two new operations are provided: (1) Disable a cookie: void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool invalidate); If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any associated object. This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(), but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled. All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page markings are cleared up. (2) Enable a cookie: void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool (*can_enable)(void *data), void *data) If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects. The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to begin. All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated. A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open() is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing caching to an inode that's open for writing already. One operation has its API modified: (3) Acquire a cookie. struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie( struct fscache_cookie *parent, const struct fscache_cookie_def *def, void *netfs_data, bool enable); This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable() function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else can get at the cookie before this returns.

| * fs: remove vfs_follow_linkChristoph Hellwig2013-09-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time no filesystem has been using vfs_follow_link, and as seen by recent filesystem submissions any new use is accidental as well. Remove vfs_follow_link, document the replacement in Documentation/filesystems/porting and also rename __vfs_follow_link to match its only caller better.
