* Leases can be hidden by flocksPavel Emelyanov2007-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases. Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head of this list. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Acked-by: "J.

* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

* locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leasesJ. Bruce Fields2007-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed filesystem to enforce them against multiple clients. We're particularly interested in the case of nfsd exporting a cluster filesystem, in which case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations correctly. Also add some documentation. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
* locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventionsJ. Bruce Fields2007-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock, whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local functionality as part of their lock implementation. So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to setlease. Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed by lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

* locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)J. Bruce Fields2007-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c we changed posix_test_lock to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input and output arguments. This makes it no longer safe to set the output lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK. This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do its own locking). Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type. This isn't strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems less likely to cause confusion in the future.

| * locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock returnMarc Eshel2007-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously. When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return -EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct. This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock is granted, and the caller retries the original lock. So while fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the lock already acquired in the succesful case). Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a conflicting lock. We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

| * locks: add lock cancel commandMarc Eshel2007-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's happening too. We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from an asynchronous locking api.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nfsv4 protocol's lock operation, in the case of a conflict, returns information about the conflicting lock. It's unclear how clients can use this, so for now we're not going so far as to add a filesystem method that can return a conflicting lock, but we may as well return something in the local case when it's easy to.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for test_lock. Note that this hasn't been necessary until recently, because the few filesystems that define ->lock() (nfs, cifs...) aren't exportable via NFS. However GFS (and, in the future, other cluster filesystems) need to implement their own locking to get cluster-coherent locking, and also want to be able to export locking to NFS (lockd and NFSv4). So we accomplish this by factoring out code such as this and exporting it for the use of lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

* | slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* [PATCH] locks: don't unnecessarily fail posix lock operationsMiklos Szeredi2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | posix_lock_file() was too cautious, failing operations on OOM, even if they didn't actually require an allocation. This has the disadvantage, that a failing unlock on process exit could lead to a memory leak. There are two possibilites for this: - filesystem implements .lock() and calls back to posix_lock_file(). On cleanup of files_struct locks_remove_posix() is called which should remove all locks belonging to files_struct. However if filesystem calls posix_lock_file() which fails, then those locks will never be freed. - if a file is closed while a lock is blocked, then after acquiring fcntl_setlk() will undo the lock. But this unlock itself might fail on OOM, again possibly leaking the lock. The solution is to move the checking of the allocations until after it is sure that they will be needed. This will solve the above problem since unlock will always succeed unless it splits an existing region.

* [PATCH] remove steal_locks()Miklos Szeredi2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the steal_locks() function. steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc. In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in parallel to execve(). The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing: clone(CLONE_FILES) /* in child */ lock execve lock POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by "child". According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would also fail. Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before execve. Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np()) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction. Apps using clone() natively are affected if they - use clone(CLONE_FILES) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible. If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so that network and local filesystems work consistently. That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be preferred by most people.

This causes lockups in fcntl_setlease(). Problem diagnosed by Daniel Hokka Zakrisson <daniel@hozac.com> Also fix a slab leak in __setlease() due to an uninitialised return value. Problem diagnosed by Björn Steinbrink.

* [PATCH] Fix file lookup without refDipankar Sarma2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

* [PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() raceTrond Myklebust2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the multi-thread case. Thread 1 Thread 2 sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX) sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN) If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock. Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock. This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the lockd handling of flock.

* [PATCH] VFS,fs/locks.c,NFSD4: add race_free posix_lock_file_conf() interfaceAndy Adamson2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lockd and the NFSv4 server both exercise a race condition where posix_test_lock() is called either before or after posix_lock_file() to deal with a denied lock request due to a conflicting lock. Remove the race condition for the NFSv4 server by adding a new conflicting lock parameter to __posix_lock_file() , changing the name to __posix_lock_file_conf(). Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both call __posix_lock_file_conf().

* [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variablesEric Dumazet2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* lockd: stop abusing file_lock_listChristoph Hellwig2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently lockd directly access the file_lock_list from fs/locks.c. It does so to mark locks granted or reclaimable. This is very suboptimal, because a) lockd needs to poke into locks.c internals, and b) it needs to iterate over all locks in the system for marking locks granted or reclaimable. This patch adds lists for granted and reclaimable locks to the nlm_host structure instead, and adds locks to those. nlmclnt_lock: now adds the lock to h_granted instead of setting the NFS_LCK_GRANTED, still O(1) nlmclnt_mark_reclaim: goes away completely, replaced by a list_splice_init. Complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(1) reclaimer: iterates over h_reclaim now, complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(locks per nlm_host) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* lockd: posix_test_lock() should not call locks_copy_lock()Trond Myklebust2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | The caller of posix_test_lock() should never need to look at the lock private data, so do not copy that information. This also means that there is no need to call the fl_release_private methods. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* locks,lockd: fix race in nlmsvc_testlockAndy Adamson2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | posix_test_lock() returns a pointer to a struct file_lock which is unprotected and can be removed while in use by the caller. Move the conflicting lock from the return to a parameter, and copy the conflicting lock. In most cases the caller ends up putting the copy of the conflicting lock on the stack. On i386, sizeof(struct file_lock) appears to be about 100 bytes. We're assuming that's reasonable. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <andros@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: J.
