| * | new helper: end_writeback()Al Viro2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Essentially, the minimal variant of ->evict_inode(). It's a trimmed-down clear_inode(), sans any fs callbacks. Once it returns we know that no async writeback will be happening; every ->evict_inode() instance should do that once and do that before doing anything ->write_inode() could interfere with (e.g. freeing the on-disk inode).

| * | simplify checks for I_CLEAR/I_FREEINGAl Viro2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add I_CLEAR instead of replacing I_FREEING with it. I_CLEAR is equivalent to I_FREEING for almost all code looking at either; it's there to keep track of having called clear_inode() exactly once per inode lifetime, at some point after having set I_FREEING. I_CLEAR and I_FREEING never get set at the same time with the current code, so we can switch to setting i_flags to I_FREEING | I_CLEAR instead of I_CLEAR without loss of information. As the result of such change, checks become simpler and the amount of code that needs to know about I_CLEAR shrinks a lot. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
| * | check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_okChristoph Hellwig2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway. Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

| * | remove inode_setattrChristoph Hellwig2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

This was only done for DIO_LOCKING filesystems, so the __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc variant was not needed anyway. Get rid of blockdev_direct_IO_no_locking and its _newtrunc variant while at it as just opencoding the two additional paramters is shorted than the name suffix.

* | | mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page taggingJan Kara2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty pages in a mapping we are writing out. For memory-cleaning writeback, using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for data integrity writeback. This patch tries to solve the problem. The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree. This can be done rather quickly and thus livelocks should not happen in practice. Then we start doing the hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages that have TOWRITE tag set. Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296 bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs. However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7 respectively).

| * | vfs: re-introduce MAY_CHDIREric Paris2010-08-02
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently MAY_ACCESS means that filesystems must check the permissions right then and not rely on cached results or the results of future operations on the object. This can be because of a call to sys_access() or because of a call to chdir() which needs to check search without relying on any future operations inside that dir. I plan to use MAY_ACCESS for other purposes in the security system, so I split the MAY_ACCESS and the MAY_CHDIR cases. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen D.

* VFS: introduce s_dirty accessorsArtem Bityutskiy2010-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()', 'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly. Ultimately, this change is a preparation for the periodic superblock synchronization optimization which is about preventing the "sync_supers" kernel thread from waking up even if there is nothing to synchronize. This patch does not do any functional change, just adds accessor functions. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* fs: introduce new truncate sequencenpiggin@suse.de2010-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

* rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig2010-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* get rid of the magic around f_count in aioAl Viro2010-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed work do __fput() on it. Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1) instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work. I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper - fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput() use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount now. And __fput() became static. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * direct-io: add a hook for the fs to provide its own submit_bio functionJosef Bacik2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because BTRFS can do RAID and such, we need our own submit hook so we can setup the bio's in the correct fashion, and handle checksum errors properly. So there are a few changes here 1) The submit_io hook. This is straightforward, just call this instead of submit_bio. 2) Allow the fs to return -ENOTBLK for reads. Usually this has only worked for writes, since writes can fallback onto buffered IO. But BTRFS needs the option of falling back on buffered IO if it encounters a compressed extent, since we need to read the entire extent in and decompress it. So if we get -ENOTBLK back from get_block we'll return back and fallback on buffered just like the write case. I've tested these changes with fsx and everything seems to work.

It seems an annotation like the following is sufficient to fix this (it does get rid of the lockdep trace in my simple tests); however I would like to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the locking, hence the CC list...

But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the super. In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky. This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism. So instead of populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super. These just take the super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work. It's basically just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev. I've then converted freeze_bdev over to use the new super helpers. I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified everything continues to work the same as before. The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if the fs is already frozen. I thought this was a better solution than adding a freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to suggestions.

Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync() doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to reduce code size and complexity. We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it to kill_fasync_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Paul E.

* / block: implement bd_claiming and claiming blockTejun Heo2010-04-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, device claiming for exclusive open is done after low level open - disk->fops->open() - has completed successfully. This means that exclusive open attempts while a device is already exclusively open will fail only after disk->fops->open() is called. cdrom driver issues commands during open() which means that O_EXCL open attempt can unintentionally inject commands to in-progress command stream for burning thus disturbing burning process. In most cases, this doesn't cause problems because the first command to be issued is TUR which most devices can process in the middle of burning. However, depending on how a device replies to TUR during burning, cdrom driver may end up issuing further commands. This can't be resolved trivially by moving bd_claim() before doing actual open() because that means an open attempt which will end up failing could interfere other legit O_EXCL open attempts. ie. unconfirmed open attempts can fail others. This patch resolves the problem by introducing claiming block which is started by bd_start_claiming() and terminated either by bd_claim() or bd_abort_claiming(). bd_claim() from inside a claiming block is guaranteed to succeed and once a claiming block is started, other bd_start_claiming() or bd_claim() attempts block till the current claiming block is terminated. bd_claim() can still be used standalone although now it always synchronizes against claiming blocks, so the existing users will keep working without any change. blkdev_open() and open_bdev_exclusive() are converted to use claiming blocks so that exclusive open attempts from these functions don't interfere with the existing exclusive open. This problem was discovered while investigating bko#15403. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15403 The burning problem itself can be resolved by updating userspace probing tools to always open w/ O_EXCL.

* raw: fsync method is now requiredAnton Blanchard2010-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 148f948ba877f4d3cdef036b1ff6d9f68986706a (vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke the raw driver. We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync -> vfs_fsync_range. vfs_fsync_range has: if (!fop || !fop->fsync) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method. We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely. I'm happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it is rarely used. The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver. My knowledge of the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over. If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

* readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOMWu Fengguang2010-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance: a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads. In other places, ra_pages==0 means - it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs - some IO error happened where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the *heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully submit read IO for whatever application requests. So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO size is not limited by read_ahead_kb). In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall (NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!
