23 years ago[PATCH] preemptive kernel behavior change: don't be rude
Robert Love [Thu, 4 Apr 2002 09:25:22 +0000 (01:25 -0800)]
[PATCH] preemptive kernel behavior change: don't be rude

- do not manually set task->state
- instead, in preempt_schedule, set a flag in preempt_count that
  denotes that this task is entering schedule off a kernel preemption.
- use this flag in schedule to jump to pick_next_task
- in preempt_schedule, upon return from schedule, unset the flag
- have entry.S just call preempt_schedule and not duplicate this work,
  as Linus suggested.  I agree.  Note this makes debugging easier as
  we keep a single point of entry for kernel preemptions.

The result: we can safely preempt non-TASK_RUNNING tasks.  If one is
preempted, we can safely survive schedule because we won't handle the
special casing of non-TASK_RUNNING at the top of schedule.  Thus other
tasks can run as desired and our non-TASK_RUNNING task will eventually
be rescheduled, in its original state, and complete happily.

This is the behavior we have in the 2.4 patches and 2.5 until
~2.5.6-pre.  This works.  It requires no other changes elsewhere (it
actually removes some special-casing Ingo did in the signal code).

[PATCH] kjournald exits with nonzero preempt_count

The preempt_count debug check that went into 2.5.8-pre1 already caught a
simple case in kjournald.  Specifically, kjournald does not drop the BKL
when it exits as it knows schedule will do so for it.

attached patch explicitly calls unlock_kernel when kjournald is exiting.

Again, we don't need to sync indirects as we dirty them because

a factor of fifty.  That's a best case.

Jeff Garzik [Thu, 4 Apr 2002 01:16:12 +0000 (20:16 -0500)]
Andrew Morton's ext2 sync mount speedup.  Description:

At present, when mounted synchronously or with `chattr +S' in effect,
ext2 syncs the indirect blocks for every new block when extending a
file.

This is not necessary, because a sync is performed on the way out of
generic_file_write().  This will pick up all necessary data from
inode->i_dirty_buffers and inode->i_dirty_data_buffers, and is
sufficient.

The patch removes all the syncing of indirect blocks.

On a non-write-caching scsi disk, an untar of the util-linux tarball
runs three times faster.  Writing a 100 megabyte file in one megabyte
chunks speeds up ten times.

The patch also removes the intermediate indirect block syncing on the
truncate() path.  Instead, we sync the indirects at a single place, via
inode->i_dirty_buffers.  This not only means that the writes (may)
cluster better.  It means that we perform much, much less actual I/O
during truncate, because most or all of the indirects will no longer be
needed for the file, and will be invalidated.

fsync() and msync() still work correctly.  One side effect of this
patch is that VM-initiated writepage() against a file hole will no
longer block on writeout of indirect blocks.  This is good.

23 years agoThis fixes the "i_blocks went wrong when the disk filled up"
Andrew Morton [Thu, 4 Apr 2002 00:39:51 +0000 (19:39 -0500)]
This fixes the "i_blocks went wrong when the disk filled up"
problem.

In ext3_new_block() we increment i_blocks early, so the
quota operation can be performed outside lock_super().
But if the block allocation ends up failing, we forget to
undo the allocation.

This is not a serious bug, and probably does not warrant
an upgrade for production machines.  Its effects are:

1) errors are generated from e2fsck and

2) users could appear to be over quota when they really aren't.

The patch undoes the accounting operation if the allocation
ends up failing.
