I'm feeling a bit better about these, although I am still honestly quite afraid of the barriers. I also didn't like all the #ifdefs much, but here's some help on that. How about this on top of what you have as a bit of a cleanup? It gets rid of all the new #ifdefs in .c files? Did I miss the use of get_mnt_writers_ptr()? I don't think I actually saw it used anywhere in this pair of patches, so I've stolen it. I think gcc should compile all this new stuff down to be basically the same as you had before. The one thing I'm not horribly sure of is the "out_free_devname:" label. It shouldn't be reachable in the !SMP case. I could also consolidate the header #ifdefs into a single one if you think that looks better. This is just compile tested, btw. --- linux-2.6.git-dave/fs/namespace.c | 35 ++++++------------------------- linux-2.6.git-dave/include/linux/mount.h | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff -puN include/linux/mount.h~move-ifdefs-take2 include/linux/mount.h --- linux-2.6.git/include/linux/mount.h~move-ifdefs-take2 2009-03-11 15:01:10.000000000 -0700 +++ linux-2.6.git-dave/include/linux/mount.h 2009-03-11 15:02:01.000000000 -0700 @@ -71,15 +71,41 @@ struct vfsmount { #endif }; -static inline int *get_mnt_writers_ptr(struct vfsmount *mnt) +static inline int *get_mnt_writers_ptr_cpu(struct vfsmount *mnt, + int cpu) { #ifdef CONFIG_SMP - return mnt->mnt_writers; + return per_cpu_ptr(mnt->mnt_writers, cpu); #else return &mnt->mnt_writers; #endif } +static inline int *get_mnt_writers_ptr(struct vfsmount *mnt) +{ + return get_mnt_writers_ptr_cpu(mnt, smp_processor_id()); +} + +static inline int alloc_mnt_writers(struct vfsmount *mnt) +{ +#ifdef CONFIG_SMP + mnt->mnt_writers = alloc_percpu(int); + if (!mnt->mnt_writers) + return -ENOMEM; +#else + mnt->mnt_writers = 0; +#endif + return 0; +} + +static inline void free_mnt_writers(struct vfsmount *mnt) +{ +#ifdef CONFIG_SMP + free_percpu(mnt->mnt_writers); +#endif +} + + static inline struct vfsmount *mntget(struct vfsmount *mnt) { if (mnt) diff -puN fs/namespace.c~move-ifdefs-take2 fs/namespace.c --- linux-2.6.git/fs/namespace.c~move-ifdefs-take2 2009-03-11 15:01:10.000000000 -0700 +++ linux-2.6.git-dave/fs/namespace.c 2009-03-11 15:04:05.000000000 -0700 @@ -130,20 +130,14 @@ struct vfsmount *alloc_vfsmnt(const char INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mnt->mnt_share); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mnt->mnt_slave_list); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mnt->mnt_slave); -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP - mnt->mnt_writers = alloc_percpu(int); - if (!mnt->mnt_writers) + err = alloc_mnt_writers(mnt); + if (err) goto out_free_devname; -#else - mnt->mnt_writers = 0; -#endif } return mnt; -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP out_free_devname: kfree(mnt->mnt_devname); -#endif out_free_id: mnt_free_id(mnt); out_free_cache: @@ -182,36 +176,23 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__mnt_is_readonly); static inline void inc_mnt_writers(struct vfsmount *mnt) { -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP - (*per_cpu_ptr(mnt->mnt_writers, smp_processor_id()))++; -#else - mnt->mnt_writers++; -#endif + (*get_mnt_writers_ptr(mnt))++; } static inline void dec_mnt_writers(struct vfsmount *mnt) { -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP - (*per_cpu_ptr(mnt->mnt_writers, smp_processor_id()))--; -#else - mnt->mnt_writers--; -#endif + (*get_mnt_writers_ptr(mnt))--; } static unsigned int count_mnt_writers(struct vfsmount *mnt) { -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP unsigned int count = 0; int cpu; - for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { - count += *per_cpu_ptr(mnt->mnt_writers, cpu); - } + for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)\ + count += *get_mnt_writers_ptr_cpu(mnt, cpu); return count; -#else - return mnt->mnt_writers; -#endif } /* @@ -344,9 +325,7 @@ void free_vfsmnt(struct vfsmount *mnt) { kfree(mnt->mnt_devname); mnt_free_id(mnt); -#ifdef CONFIG_SMP - free_percpu(mnt->mnt_writers); -#endif + free_mnt_writers(mnt); kmem_cache_free(mnt_cache, mnt); } _ -- Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
