[PATCH] fs/buffer: Make BH_Uptodate_Lock bit_spin_lock a regular spinlock_t

[PATCH] fs/buffer: Make BH_Uptodate_Lock bit_spin_lock a regular spinlock_t

[Sebastian Siewior]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Bit spinlocks are problematic if PREEMPT_RT is enabled, because they
disable preemption, which is undesired for latency reasons and breaks when
regular spinlocks are taken within the bit_spinlock locked region because
regular spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping spinlocks' on RT. So RT
replaces the bit spinlocks with regular spinlocks to avoid this problem.
Bit spinlocks are also not covered by lock debugging, e.g. lockdep.

Substitute the BH_Uptodate_Lock bit spinlock with a regular spinlock.

Uhh ... always grow the buffer_head, even for non-PREEMPT_RT?  Why?

I was thinking about this for quite some time. In the end I think the patch
is almost fine but I'd name the lock b_update_lock and put it just after
b_size element in struct buffer_head to use the hole there. That way we
don't grow struct buffer_head.

With some effort, we could even shrink struct buffer_head from 104 bytes
(on x86_64) to 96 bytes but I don't think that effort is worth it (I'd find
it better use of time to actually work on getting rid of buffer heads
completely).

Is that really realistic?  All aside from the very large number of
file systems which use buffer_heads that would have to be reworked,
the concept of buffer heads is pretty fundamental to how jbd2 is
architected.

I think it is reasonably possible to remove buffer_heads from data path
(including direct IO path) of all filesystems. That way memory consumption
of buffer_heads becomes mostly irrelevant and we can have a look how much
from the current bh framework still makes sense...

To follow the naming of other members in struct buffer_head, please name
this b_uptodate_lock (note the b_ prefix). Otherwise the patch looks good
to me so feel free to add:

[PATCH v3] fs/buffer: Make BH_Uptodate_Lock bit_spin_lock a regular spinlock_t

[Sebastian Siewior]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Bit spinlocks are problematic if PREEMPT_RT is enabled, because they
disable preemption, which is undesired for latency reasons and breaks when
regular spinlocks are taken within the bit_spinlock locked region because
regular spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping spinlocks' on RT. So RT
replaces the bit spinlocks with regular spinlocks to avoid this problem.
Bit spinlocks are also not covered by lock debugging, e.g. lockdep.

Substitute the BH_Uptodate_Lock bit spinlock with a regular spinlock.
