* mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inodeMiklos Szeredi2011-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping. [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Reported-by: Michael Leun <lkml20101129@newton.leun.net> Reported-by: Gurudas Pai <gurudas.pai@oracle.com> Tested-by: Gurudas Pai <gurudas.pai@oracle.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* nilfs2: add read ahead mode to nilfs_btnode_submit_blockRyusuke Konishi2010-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds mode argument to nilfs_btnode_submit_block() function and allows it to issue a read-ahead request. An optional submit_ptr argument is also added to store the actual block address for which bio is sent. submit_ptr is used for a series of read-ahead requests, and helps to decide if each requested block is continous to the previous one on disk.

* nilfs2: eliminate nilfs_btnode_get functionRyusuke Konishi2009-11-19
| | | | | | | | | This removes the obsolete nilfs_btnode_get() function and makes nilfs_btree_get_block() directly call nilfs_btnode_submit_block(). This expansion will provide better opportunity for code optimization. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: remove newblk argument from nilfs_btnode_submit_blockRyusuke Konishi2009-11-19
| | | | | | | This removes the obsolete argument from nilfs_btnode_submit_block(). This will complete separating a create function of btree node. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: separate function for creating new btree node blockRyusuke Konishi2009-11-19
| | | | | | | | Adds a separate routine for creating a btree node block. This is a preparation to reduce the depth of function calls during submitting btree node buffer. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: use device's backing_dev_info for btree node cachesRyusuke Konishi2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | Previously, default_backing_dev_info was used for the mapping of btree node caches. This uses device dependent backing_dev_info to allow detailed control of the device for the btree node pages. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* nilfs2: B-tree node cacheRyusuke Konishi2009-04-07
