[PATCH 1/3] [RFC] Add volatile range management code

From: John Stultz
Date: Fri Sep 28 2012 - 23:17:00 EST


This patch provides the volatile range management code
that filesystems can utilize when implementing
FALLOC_FL_MARK_VOLATILE.

It tracks a collection of page ranges against a mapping
stored in an interval-tree. This code handles coalescing
overlapping and adjacent ranges, as well as splitting
ranges when sub-chunks are removed.

The ranges can be marked purged or unpurged. And there is
a per-fs lru list that tracks all the unpurged ranges for
that fs.

v2:
* Fix bug in volatile_ranges_get_last_used returning bad
start,end values
* Rework for intervaltree renaming
* Optimize volatile_range_lru_size to avoid running through
lru list each time.

v3:
* Improve function name to make it clear what the
volatile_ranges_pluck_lru() code does.
* Drop volatile_range_lru_size and unpurged_page_count
mangement as its now unused

v4:
* Re-add volatile_range_lru_size and unpruged_page_count
* Fix bug in range_remove when we split ranges, we add
an overlapping range before resizing the existing range.

v5:
* Drop intervaltree for prio_tree usage per Michel &
Dmitry's suggestions.
* Cleanups

v6:
* Drop prio_tree usage for rbtree per Michel Lespinasse's
suggestion.

v7:
* Use byte ranges instead of page ranges to make userspace's
life easier.
* Add volatile_range_address_is_purged check for SIGBUS on
purged page access.

+ * The volatile range management is a helper layer on top of the range tree
+ * code, which is used to help filesystems manage byte ranges that are volatile.
+ *
+ * These ranges are stored in a per-mapping range tree. Storing both purged and
+ * unpurged ranges connected to that address_space. Unpurged ranges are also
+ * linked together in an lru list that is per-volatile-fs-head (basically
+ * per-filesystem).
+ *
+ * The goal behind volatile ranges is to allow applications to interact
+ * with the kernel's cache management infrastructure. In particular an
+ * application can say "this memory contains data that might be useful in
+ * the future, but can be reconstructed if necessary, so if the kernel
+ * needs, it can zap and reclaim this memory without having to swap it out.
+ *
+ * The proposed mechanism - at a high level - is for user-space to be able
+ * to say "This memory is volatile" and then later "this memory is no longer
+ * volatile". If the content of the memory is still available the second
+ * request succeeds. If not, the memory is marked non-volatile and an
+ * error is returned to denote that the contents have been lost.
