relayfs: fix infinite loop with splice()

2008-12-10T16:01:52Z

Running kmemtraced, which uses splice() on relayfs, causes a hard lock on x86-64 SMP. As described by Tom Zanussi: It looks like you hit the same problem as described here: commit 8191ecd1d14c6914c660dfa007154860a7908857 splice: fix infinite loop in generic_file_splice_read() relay uses the same loop but it never got noticed or fixed.

relay: fix cpu offline problem

2008-11-18T14:08:56Z

relay_open() will close allocated buffers when failed. but if cpu offlined, some buffer will not be closed. this patch fixed it. and did cleanup for relay_reset() too. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

relay: fix "full buffer with exactly full last subbuffer" accounting problem

2008-08-05T21:33:46Z

In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available. This patch fixes the problem.

relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early logging

2008-07-26T19:00:04Z

Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed. This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

relayfs: support larger relay buffer

2008-04-29T15:06:28Z

Use vmalloc() and memset() instead of kcalloc() to allocate a page* array when the array size is bigger than one page. This enables relayfs to support bigger relay buffers than 64MB on 4k-page system, 512MB on 16k-page system.

relay: set an spd_release() hook for splice
