Excuse me, I have some questions about the firmware patch. 1. I should convert the data into the binary files (.bin). Is it right? 2. Where should I update the firmware files? Is the path the linux-2.6/firmeware? However, according to linux-2.6/firmeware/README.AddingFirmware, I should

I did some experimenting, and I figured out what was going on. You're right, (c) doesn't quite work, because delayed allocation meant that the writeout didn't take place until the fsync() for each file happened. I didn't see this at first; my apologies. However, this *does* work:

[PATCH 1/4] dpkg: On Linux initiate writeback of unpacked files ASAP

2010-11-28 Thread Jonathan Nieder
To avoid performance degradation on filesystems with allocate on flush semantics (like xfs, ubifs, hfs+, and ext4 without nodelalloc), start writing back each file once it has finished being extracted. This doesn't actually wait for the write to finish; it just starts the writeback. The

[PATCH 2/4] dpkg: On Linux finish writeback before fsync

2010-11-28 Thread Jonathan Nieder
The second sync_file_range() call, with the operation SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE, will block until the previously initiated writeback has completed. This basically ensures that the delayed allocation has been resolved; that is, the data blocks have been allocated and written, and the inode

[PATCH 3/4] dpkg: Write back all files before first fsync

2010-11-28 Thread Jonathan Nieder
This basically ensures that the delayed allocation has been resolved; that is, the data blocks have been allocated and written, and the inode updated (in memory), but not necessarily pushed out to disk. This way, on ext4 the first fsync() can force the inodes to disk and the remaining fsync()

[PATCH 4/4] dpkg: Use fdatasync instead of fsync

2010-11-28 Thread Jonathan Nieder
It is not important to get metadata such as modification time of files right immediately during an upgrade; that can wait for a later sync(). The result is a small but appreciable performance improvement (~1% when testing on a laptop hard disk on ext4). Suggested-by: Ted Ts'o ty...@mit.edu
