* fs/super.c: fix lru_list leak for realAl Viro2013-10-01
| | | | | | | | | Freeing ->s_{inode,dentry}_lru in deactivate_locked_super() is wrong; the right place is destroy_super(). As it is, we leak them if sget() decides that new superblock it has allocated (and never shown to anybody) isn't needed and should be freed. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* list_lru: dynamically adjust node arraysGlauber Costa2013-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for instance contains two of them). This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

* shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new APIDave Chinner2013-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert superblock shrinker to use the new count/scan API, and propagate the API changes through to the filesystem callouts. The filesystem callouts already use a count/scan API, so it's just changing counters to longs to match the VM API. This requires the dentry and inode shrinker callouts to be converted to the count/scan API. This is mainly a mechanical change.

* dentry: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner2013-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the dentry LRUs being per-sb structures, there is no real need for a global dentry_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other. The need for this is independent of any performance consideration that may arise: in the interest of abstracting the lru operations away, it is mandatory that each lru works around its own lock instead of a global lock for all of them.

* super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbersGlauber Costa2013-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try to shrink. It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total < 100). This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in very low kernel memory situations.

* direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completionsChristoph Hellwig2013-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO) and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO. The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating with the filesystems. Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion. JK: Fixed ext4 part, dynamic allocation of the workqueue. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* livelock avoidance in sget()Al Viro2013-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Sandeen has found a nasty livelock in sget() - take a mount(2) about to fail. The superblock is on ->fs_supers, ->s_umount is held exclusive, ->s_active is 1. Along comes two more processes, trying to mount the same thing; sget() in each is picking that superblock, bumping ->s_count and trying to grab ->s_umount. ->s_active is 3 now. Original mount(2) finally gets to deactivate_locked_super() on failure; ->s_active is 2, superblock is still ->fs_supers because shutdown will *not* happen until ->s_active hits 0. ->s_umount is dropped and now we have two processes chasing each other: s_active = 2, A acquired ->s_umount, B blocked A sees that the damn thing is stillborn, does deactivate_locked_super() s_active = 1, A drops ->s_umount, B gets it A restarts the search and finds the same superblock. And bumps it ->s_active. s_active = 2, B holds ->s_umount, A blocked on trying to get it ... and we are in the earlier situation with A and B switched places. The root cause, of course, is that ->s_active should not grow until we'd got MS_BORN. Then failing ->mount() will have deactivate_locked_super() shut the damn thing down. Fortunately, it's easy to do - the key point is that grab_super() is called only for superblocks currently on ->fs_supers, so it can bump ->s_count and grab ->s_umount first, then check MS_BORN and bump ->s_active; we must never increment ->s_count for superblocks past ->kill_sb(), but grab_super() is never called for those. The bug is pretty old; we would've caught it by now, if not for accidental exclusion between sget() for block filesystems; the things like cgroup or e.g. mtd-based filesystems don't have anything of that sort, so they get bitten. The right way to deal with that is obviously to fix sget()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

* idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.cTejun Heo2013-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MAX_IDR_MASK is another weirdness in the idr interface. As idr covers whole positive integer range, it's defined as 0x7fffffff or INT_MAX. Its usage in idr_find(), idr_replace() and idr_remove() is bizarre. They basically mask off the sign bit and operate on the rest, so if the caller, by accident, passes in a negative number, the sign bit will be masked off and the remaining part will be used as if that was the input, which is worse than crashing. The constant is visible in idr.h and there are several users in the kernel. * drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:i2c_add_numbered_adapter() Basically used to test if adap->nr is a negative number which isn't -1 and returns -EINVAL if so. idr_alloc() already has negative @start checking (w/ WARN_ON_ONCE), so this can go away. * drivers/infiniband/core/cm.c:cm_alloc_id() drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/cm.c:id_map_alloc() Used to wrap cyclic @start. Can be replaced with max(next, 0). Note that this type of cyclic allocation using idr is buggy. These are prone to spurious -ENOSPC failure after the first wraparound. * fs/super.c:get_anon_bdev() The ID allocated from ida is masked off before being tested whether it's inside valid range. ida allocated ID can never be a negative number and the masking is unnecessary. Update idr_*() functions to fail with -EINVAL when negative @id is specified and update other MAX_IDR_MASK users as described above. This leaves MAX_IDR_MASK without any user, remove it and relocate other MAX_IDR_* constants to lib/idr.c.

* vfs: kill write_super and sync_supersArtem Bityutskiy2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

Thus in write paths we can end up marking some pages or inodes dirty even though the file system is already frozen. This creates problems with flusher thread hanging on frozen filesystem. Another problem is that exclusion between ->page_mkwrite() and filesystem freezing has been handled by setting page dirty and then verifying s_frozen. This guaranteed that either the freezing code sees the faulted page, writes it, and writeprotects it again or we see s_frozen set and bail out of page fault. This works to protect from page being marked writeable while filesystem freezing is running but has an unpleasant artefact of leaving dirty (although unmodified and writeprotected) pages on frozen filesystem resulting in similar problems with flusher thread as the first problem. This patch aims at providing exclusion between write paths and filesystem freezing. We implement a writer-freeze read-write semaphore in the superblock. Actually, there are three such semaphores because of lock ranking reasons - one for page fault handlers (->page_mkwrite), one for all other writers, and one of internal filesystem purposes (used e.g. to track running transactions). Write paths which should block freezing (e.g. directory operations, ->aio_write(), ->page_mkwrite) hold reader side of the semaphore. Code freezing the filesystem takes the writer side. Only that we don't really want to bounce cachelines of the semaphores between CPUs for each write happening. So we implement the reader side of the semaphore as a per-cpu counter and the writer side is implemented using s_writers.frozen superblock field.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently remouting superblock read-only is racy in a major way. With the per mount read-only infrastructure it is now possible to prevent most races, which this patch attempts. Before starting the remount read-only, iterate through all mounts belonging to the superblock and if none of them have any pending writes, set sb->s_readonly_remount. This indicates that remount is in progress and no further write requests are allowed. If the remount succeeds set MS_RDONLY and reset s_readonly_remount. If the remounting is unsuccessful just reset s_readonly_remount. This can result in transient EROFS errors, despite the fact the remount failed. Unfortunately hodling off writes is difficult as remount itself may touch the filesystem (e.g. through load_nls()) which would deadlock. A later patch deals with delayed writes due to nlink going to zero.

This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.
