Currently it will hit BUG_ON() when the end of the range is not aligned. Punch hole feature however can benefit from this ability saving file systems some work not forcing them to implement their own invalidate code to handle unaligned ranges. In order for this to woke we need change ->invalidatepage() address space operation to to accept range to invalidate by adding 'length' argument in addition to 'offset'. This is different from my previous attempt to create new aop ->invalidatepage_range (http://lwn.net/Articles/514828/) which I reconsidered to be unnecessary. It would be for the best if this series could go through ext4 branch since there are a lot of ext4 changes which are based on dev branch of ext4 (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git) For description purposes this patch set can be divided into following groups: patch 0001: Change ->invalidatepage() prototype adding 'length' argument and changing all the instances. In very simple cases file system methods are completely adapted, otherwise only prototype is changed and the rest will follow. This patch also implement the 'range' invalidation in block_invalidatepage(). patch 0002 - 0009: Make the use of new 'length' argument in the file system itself. Some file systems can take advantage of it trying to invalidate only portion of the page if possible, some can't, however none of the file systems currently attempt to truncate non page aligned ranges. patch 0010: Teach truncate_inode_pages_range() to handle non page aligned ranges. patch 0011 - 0018: Ext4 changes build on top of previous changes, simplifying punch hole code. Not all changes are realated specifically to invalidatepage() change, but all are related to the punch hole feature. Even though this patch set would mainly affect functionality of the file file systems implementing punch hole I've tested all the following file system using xfstests without noticing any bugs related to this change. ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, gfs2 and reiserfs the much smaller changes in other file systems has not been directly tested, so please review. --- Documentation/filesystems/Locking | 6 +- Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 20 +- fs/9p/vfs_addr.c | 5 +- fs/afs/file.c | 10 +- fs/btrfs/disk-io.c | 3 +- fs/btrfs/extent_io.c | 2 +- fs/btrfs/inode.c | 3 +- fs/buffer.c | 21 ++- fs/ceph/addr.c | 15 +- fs/cifs/file.c | 5 +- fs/exofs/inode.c | 6 +- fs/ext3/inode.c | 9 +- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 14 +- fs/ext4/extents.c | 96 ++++++---- fs/ext4/inode.c | 393 +++++++++++++------------------------ fs/f2fs/data.c | 3 +- fs/f2fs/node.c | 3 +- fs/gfs2/aops.c | 17 ++- fs/jbd/transaction.c | 19 ++- fs/jbd2/transaction.c | 24 ++- fs/jfs/jfs_metapage.c | 5 +- fs/logfs/file.c | 3 +- fs/logfs/segment.c | 3 +- fs/nfs/file.c | 8 +- fs/ntfs/aops.c | 2 +- fs/ocfs2/aops.c | 5 +- fs/reiserfs/inode.c | 12 +- fs/ubifs/file.c | 5 +- fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c | 10 +- fs/xfs/xfs_trace.h | 41 ++++- include/linux/buffer_head.h | 3 +- include/linux/fs.h | 2 +- include/linux/jbd.h | 2 +- include/linux/jbd2.h | 2 +- include/linux/mm.h | 3 +- include/trace/events/ext3.h | 12 +- include/trace/events/ext4.h | 64 ++++--- mm/readahead.c | 2 +- mm/truncate.c | 117 ++++++++---- 39 files changed, 522 insertions(+), 453 deletions(-) [PATCH v3 01/18] mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept [PATCH v3 02/18] jbd2: change jbd2_journal_invalidatepage to accept [PATCH v3 03/18] ext4: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 04/18] jbd: change journal_invalidatepage() to accept [PATCH v3 05/18] xfs: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 06/18] ocfs2: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 07/18] ceph: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 08/18] gfs2: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 09/18] reiserfs: use ->invalidatepage() length argument [PATCH v3 10/18] mm: teach truncate_inode_pages_range() to handle [PATCH v3 11/18] Revert "ext4: remove no longer used functions in [PATCH v3 12/18] Revert "ext4: fix fsx truncate failure" [PATCH v3 13/18] ext4: use ext4_zero_partial_blocks in punch_hole [PATCH v3 14/18] ext4: remove unused discard_partial_page_buffers [PATCH v3 15/18] ext4: remove unused code from ext4_remove_blocks() [PATCH v3 16/18] ext4: update ext4_ext_remove_space trace point [PATCH v3 17/18] ext4: make punch hole code path work with bigalloc [PATCH v3 18/18] ext4: Allow punch hole with bigalloc enabled -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
