Revision 2cc78eb52bc1ae89f0a4fa5a00eb998dffde4a9f authored by Linus Torvalds on 17 October 2005, 16:10:15 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 17 October 2005, 16:10:15 UTC
Dipankar made RCU limit the batch size to improve latency, but that
approach is unworkable: it can cause the RCU queues to grow without
bounds, since the batch limiter ended up limiting the callbacks.

So make the limit much higher, and start planning on instead limiting
the batch size by doing RCU callbacks more often if the queue looks like
it might be growing too long.

/**
 * ntfs_map_page - map a page into accessible memory, reading it if necessary
 * @mapping:	address space for which to obtain the page
 * @index:	index into the page cache for @mapping of the page to map
 *
 * Read a page from the page cache of the address space @mapping at position
 * @index, where @index is in units of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, and not in bytes.
 *
 * If the page is not in memory it is loaded from disk first using the readpage
 * method defined in the address space operations of @mapping and the page is
 * added to the page cache of @mapping in the process.
 *
 * If the page belongs to an mst protected attribute and it is marked as such
 * in its ntfs inode (NInoMstProtected()) the mst fixups are applied but no
 * error checking is performed.  This means the caller has to verify whether
 * the ntfs record(s) contained in the page are valid or not using one of the
 * ntfs_is_XXXX_record{,p}() macros, where XXXX is the record type you are
 * expecting to see.  (For details of the macros, see fs/ntfs/layout.h.)
 *
 * If the page is in high memory it is mapped into memory directly addressible
 * by the kernel.
 *
 * Finally the page count is incremented, thus pinning the page into place.
 *
 * The above means that page_address(page) can be used on all pages obtained
 * with ntfs_map_page() to get the kernel virtual address of the page.
 *
 * When finished with the page, the caller has to call ntfs_unmap_page() to
 * unpin, unmap and release the page.
 *
 * Note this does not grant exclusive access. If such is desired, the caller
 * must provide it independently of the ntfs_{un}map_page() calls by using
 * a {rw_}semaphore or other means of serialization. A spin lock cannot be
 * used as ntfs_map_page() can block.
 *
 * The unlocked and uptodate page is returned on success or an encoded error
 * on failure. Caller has to test for error using the IS_ERR() macro on the
 * return value. If that evaluates to TRUE, the negative error code can be
 * obtained using PTR_ERR() on the return value of ntfs_map_page().
