* quota: Improve lockingJan Kara2009-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement dqget() and dqput() that need neither dqonoff_mutex nor dqptr_sem. Then move dqget() and dqput() calls so that they are not called from under dqptr_sem. This is important because filesystem callbacks aren't called from under dqptr_sem which used to cause *lots* of problems with lock ranking (and with OCFS2 they became close to unsolvable). The patch also removes two functions which were introduced solely because OCFS2 needed them to cope with the old locking scheme. As time showed, they were not enough for OCFS2 anyway and it would be unnecessary work to adapt them to the new locking scheme in which they aren't needed. As a result OCFS2 needs the following patch to compile properly with quotas. Sorry to any bisecters which hit this in advance. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* quota: don't set grace time when user isn't above softlimitJan Kara2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | do_set_dqblk() allowed SETDQBLK quotactl to set user's grace time even if user was not above his softlimit. This does not make much sence and by coincidence causes quota code to omit softlimit warning when user really exceeds softlimit. This patch makes do_set_dqblk() reset user's grace time if he has not exceeded softlimit.

* quota: Implement function for scanning active dquotsJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | OCFS2 needs to scan all active dquots once in a while and sync quota information among cluster nodes. Provide a helper function for it so that it does not have to reimplement internally a list which VFS already has. Moreover this function is probably going to be useful for other clustered filesystems if they decide to use VFS quotas.

* quota: Add helpers to allow ocfs2 specific quota initialization, freeing and ↵Jan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | recovery OCFS2 needs to peek whether quota structure is already in memory so that it can avoid expensive cluster locking in that case. Similarly when freeing dquots, it checks whether it is the last quota structure user or not. Finally, it needs to get reference to dquot structure for specified id and quota type when recovering quota file after crash.

* quota: Keep which entries were set by SETQUOTA quotactlJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Quota in a clustered environment needs to synchronize quota information among cluster nodes. This means we have to occasionally update some information in dquot from disk / network. On the other hand we have to be careful not to overwrite changes administrator did via SETQUOTA. So indicate in dquot->dq_flags which entries have been set by SETQUOTA and quota format can clear these flags when it properly propagated the changes.

* quota: Allow negative usage of space and inodesJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | For clustered filesystems, it can happen that space / inode usage goes negative temporarily (because some node is allocating another node is freeing and they are not completely in sync). So let quota code allow this and change qsize_t so a signed type so that we don't underflow the variables. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
* quota: Introduce DQUOT_QUOTA_SYS_FILE flagJan Kara2009-01-05

* quota: Allow to separately enable quota accounting and enforcing limitsJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split DQUOT_USR_ENABLED (and DQUOT_GRP_ENABLED) into DQUOT_USR_USAGE_ENABLED and DQUOT_USR_LIMITS_ENABLED. This way we are able to separately enable / disable whether we should: 1) ignore quotas completely 2) just keep uptodate information about usage 3) actually enforce quota limits This is going to be useful when quota is treated as filesystem metadata - we then want to keep quota information uptodate all the time and just enable / disable limits enforcement.

* quota: Make _SUSPENDED just a flagJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Upto now, DQUOT_USR_SUSPENDED behaved like a state - i.e., either quota was enabled or suspended or none. Now allowed states are 0, ENABLED, ENABLED | SUSPENDED. This will be useful later when we implement separate enabling of quota usage tracking and limits enforcement because we need to keep track of a state which has been suspended.

* quota: Increase size of variables for limits and inode usageJan Kara2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | So far quota was fine with quota block limits and inode limits/numbers in a 32-bit type. Now with rapid increase in storage sizes there are coming requests to be able to handle quota limits above 4TB / more that 2^32 inodes. So bump up sizes of types in mem_dqblk structure to 64-bits to be able to handle this. Also update inode allocation / checking functions to use qsize_t and make global structure keep quota limits in bytes so that things are consistent.

* quota: Add callbacks for allocating and destroying dquot structuresJan Kara2009-01-05

* quota: improve inode list scanning in add_dquot_ref()Jan Kara2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We restarted scan of sb->s_inodes list whenever we had to drop inode_lock in add_dquot_ref(). This leads to overall quadratic running time and thus add_dquot_ref() can take several minutes when called on a life filesystem. We fix the problem by using the fact that inode cannot be removed from s_inodes list while we hold a reference to it and thus we can safely restart the scan if we don't drop the reference. Here we use the fact that inodes freshly added to s_inodes list are already guaranteed to have quotas properly initialized and the ordering of inodes on s_inodes list does not change so we cannot skip any inode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Iterate over sb->s_inodes instead of sb->s_files in add_dquot_ref. This reduces list search and lock hold time aswell as getting rid of one of the few uses of file_list_lock which Ingo identified as a scalability problem. Previously we called dq_op->initialize for every inode handing of a writeable file that wasn't initialized before. Now we're calling it for every inode that has a non-zero i_writecount, aka a writeable file descriptor refering to it. Thanks a lot to Jan Kara for running this patch through his quota test harness.

* [PATCH] move remove_dquot_ref to dqout.cChristoph Hellwig2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove_dquot_ref can move to dqout.c instead of beeing in inode.c under #ifdef CONFIG_QUOTA. Also clean the resulting code up a tiny little bit by testing sb->dq_op earlier - it's constant over a filesystems lifetime.

* [PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

* [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.
