From e2fecb215b321db0e4a5b2597349a63c07bec42f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2012 08:57:46 -0500 Subject: NFS: Remove pNFS bloat from the generic write path We have no business doing any this in the standard write release path. Get rid of it, and put it in the pNFS layer. Also, while we're at it, get rid of the completely bogus unlock/relock semantics that were present in nfs_writeback_release_full(). It is not only unnecessary, but actually dangerous to release the write lock just in order to take it again in nfs_page_async_flush(). Better just to open code the pgio operations in a pnfs helper.

Due to reports of stalling, there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check; if (PageDirty(page) && !sync && mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page) rc = -EBUSY; This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would block.

Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.
