2007-03-29[PATCH] splice: partial write fixDmitriy Monakhov1-9/+16
Currently if partial write has happened while ->commit_write() then page wasn't marked as accessed and rebalanced.

2007-03-27Export __splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh1-3/+4
Ocfs2 wants to implement it's own splice write actor so that it can better manage cluster / page locks. This lets us re-use the rest of splice write while only providing our own code where it's actually important.

2007-03-272/2 splice: dont readpageNick Piggin1-30/+0
Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us. Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate. This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a matter of course when removing the readpage logic. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-03-271/2 splice: dont stealNick Piggin1-63/+38
Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care of it later. We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives that guarantee. Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

2006-12-13[PATCH] constify pipe_buf_operationsEric Dumazet1-4/+4
- pipe/splice should use const pipe_buf_operations and file_operations - struct pipe_inode_info has an unused field "start" : get rid of it.

2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek1-9/+9
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

2006-11-04[PATCH] splice: fix problem introduced with inode dietJens Axboe1-6/+20
After the inode slimming patch that unionised i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev, it's no longer enough to check for existance of ->i_pipe to verify that this is a pipe.

2006-10-19[PATCH] Remove SUID when splicing into an inodeJens Axboe1-4/+15
Originally from Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> generic_file_splice_write() does not remove S_ISUID or S_ISGID. This is inconsistent with the way we generally write to files. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-10-19[PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock()Mark Fasheh1-14/+66
This allows file systems to manage their own i_mutex locking while still re-using the generic_file_splice_write() logic. OCFS2 in particular wants this so that it can order cluster locks within i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2006-10-19[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh1-13/+11
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we don't race i_size changes. The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking rules into one set of functions.

2006-09-30[PATCH] Update axboe@suse.de email addressJens Axboe1-1/+1
As people often look for the copyright in files to see who to mail, update the link to a neutral one. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2006-07-10[PATCH] splice: fix problems with sys_tee()Jens Axboe1-105/+133
Several issues noticed/fixed: - We cannot reliably block in link_pipe() while holding both input and output mutexes. So do preparatory checks before locking down both mutexes and doing the link. - The ipipe->nrbufs vs i check was bad, because we could have dropped the ipipe lock in-between. This causes us to potentially look at unknown buffers if we were racing with someone else reading this pipe. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-06-23[PATCH] splice: retrieve mapping after locking the pageJens Axboe1-17/+29
Otherwise we could be racing with truncate/mapping removal. Problem found/fixed by Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>, logic rewritten by me. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-04[PATCH] splice: redo page lookup if add_to_page_cache() returns -EEXISTJens Axboe1-0/+2
This can happen quite easily, if several processes are trying to splice the same file at the same time. It's not a failure, it just means someone raced with us in allocating this file page. So just dump the allocated page and relookup the original. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-04[PATCH] splice: rename remaining info variables to pipeJens Axboe1-10/+10
Same thing was done in fs/pipe.c and most of fs/splice.c, but we had a few missing still. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-04[PATCH] splice: LRU fixupsJens Axboe1-22/+11
Nick says that the current construct isn't safe. This goes back to the original, but sets PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU on user pages as well as they all seem to be on the LRU in the first place. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-04[PATCH] splice: fix unlocking of page on error ->prepare_write()Jens Axboe1-3/+16
Looking at generic_file_buffered_write(), we need to unlock_page() if prepare write fails and it isn't due to racing with truncate(). Also trim the size if ->prepare_write() fails, if we have to. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-02[PATCH] vmsplice: restrict stealing a little moreJens Axboe1-1/+1
Apply the same rules as the anon pipe pages, only allow stealing if no one else is using the page. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-02[PATCH] splice: fix page LRU accountingJens Axboe1-10/+21
Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it, however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU list or not. So remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU and do this check/add manually in pipe_to_file() instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-02[PATCH] vmsplice: fix badly placed end paranthesisJens Axboe1-1/+1
We need to use the minium of {len, PAGE_SIZE-off}, not {len, PAGE_SIZE}-off. The latter doesn't make any sense, and could cause us to attempt negative length transfers... Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] vmsplice: allow user to pass in gift pagesJens Axboe1-3/+25
If SPLICE_F_GIFT is set, the user is basically giving this pages away to the kernel. That means we can steal them for eg page cache uses instead of copying it. The data must be properly page aligned and also a multiple of the page size in length. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user spaceJens Axboe1-2/+2
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic() instead. lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.

2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operationJens Axboe1-61/+30
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now, since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste of time doing it. Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] splice: fix bugs in pipe_to_file()Jens Axboe1-18/+19
Found by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>, fixed by me. - Only allow full pages to go to the page cache. - Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN. - Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails. And as a cleanup on that: - Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-30[PATCH] splice: fix bugs with stealing regular pipe pagesJens Axboe1-1/+3
- Check that page has suitable count for stealing in the regular pipes. - pipe_to_file() assumes that the page is locked on succesful steal, so do that in the pipe steal hook - Missing unlock_page() in add_to_page_cache() failure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-27[PATCH] splice: make the read-side do batched page lookupsJens Axboe1-30/+65

2006-04-26[PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscallJens Axboe1-39/+253
sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice() moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead. This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network receive support as well.

2006-04-26[PATCH] splice: fix offset problemsJens Axboe1-19/+27

2006-04-19[PATCH] splice: fixup writeout path after ->map changesJens Axboe1-19/+30

2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()Jens Axboe1-0/+186
Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference. Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the input pipe data. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: pass offset around for ->splice_read() and ->splice_write()Jens Axboe1-42/+44

2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: speedups and optimizationsJens Axboe1-20/+13
- Kill the local variables that cache ->nrbufs, they just take up space. - Only set do_wakeup for a real pipe. This is a big win for direct splicing. - Kill i_mutex lock around ->f_pos update, regular io paths don't do this either. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: speedup __generic_file_splice_readJens Axboe1-11/+63
Using find_get_page() is a lot faster than find_or_create_page(). This gets splice a lot closer to sendfile() for fd -> socket transfers. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-11[PATCH] splice: add direct fd <-> fd splicing supportJens Axboe1-18/+130
It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only meant to be used for sendfile() emulation. Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at exit for the normal fast path. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-10[PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsetsIngo Molnar1-13/+41
add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file descriptors: asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in, int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags); semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin. Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used (and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in -ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.

separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it usable to splice.
