* UBIFS: handle allocation failures in UBIFS write pathMatthew L. Creech2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running kernel 2.6.37, my PPC-based device occasionally gets an order-2 allocation failure in UBIFS, which causes the root FS to become unwritable: kswapd0: page allocation failure. order:2, mode:0x4050 Call Trace: [c787dc30] [c00085b8] show_stack+0x7c/0x194 (unreliable) [c787dc70] [c0061aec] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x4f0/0x57c [c787dd00] [c0061b98] __get_free_pages+0x20/0x50 [c787dd10] [c00e4f88] ubifs_jnl_write_data+0x54/0x200 [c787dd50] [c00e82d4] do_writepage+0x94/0x198 [c787dd90] [c00675e4] shrink_page_list+0x40c/0x77c [c787de40] [c0067de0] shrink_inactive_list+0x1e0/0x370 [c787de90] [c0068224] shrink_zone+0x2b4/0x2b8 [c787df00] [c0068854] kswapd+0x408/0x5d4 [c787dfb0] [c0037bcc] kthread+0x80/0x84 [c787dff0] [c000ef44] kernel_thread+0x4c/0x68 Similar problems were encountered last April by Tomasz Stanislawski: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/50965/ This patch implements Artem's suggested fix: fall back to a mutex-protected static buffer, allocated at mount time. I tested it by forcing execution down the failure path, and didn't see any ill effects. Artem: massaged the patch a little, improved it so that we'd not allocate the write reserve buffer when we are in R/O mode. Signed-off-by: Matthew L.

* UBIFS: introduce write-buffer size fieldArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we assume write-buffer size is always min_io_size. But this is about to change and write-buffers may be of variable size. Namely, they will be of max_write_size at the beginning, but will get smaller when we are approaching the end of LEB. This is a preparation patch which introduces 'size' field in the write-buffer structure which carries the current write-buffer size. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBI: incorporate LEB offset informationArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-08

* UBIFS: incorporate maximum write sizeArtem Bityutskiy2011-03-08

* UBIFS: introduce mounting flagArtem Bityutskiy2011-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preparational patch which removes the 'c->always_chk_crc' which was set during mounting and remounting to R/W mode and introduces 'c->mounting' flag which is set when mounting. Now the 'c->always_chk_crc' flag is the same as 'c->remounting_rw && c->mounting'. This patch is a preparation for the next one which will need to know when we are mounting and remounting to R/W mode, which is exactly what 'c->always_chk_crc' effectively is, but its name does not suite the next patch. The other possibility would be to just re-name it, but then we'd end up with less logical flags coverage. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: re-arrange variables in ubifs_infoArtem Bityutskiy2011-01-17
| | | | | | | | | This is a cosmetic patch which re-arranges variables in 'struct ubifs_info' so that all boolean-like variables which are only changed during mounting or re-mounting to R/W mode are places together. Then they are turned into bit-fields, which makes the structure a little bit smaller. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy2010-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

* UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy2010-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: mark unused key objects as invalidArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When scanning the flash, UBIFS builds a list of flash nodes of type 'struct ubifs_scan_node'. Each scanned node has a 'snod->key' field. This field is valid for most of the nodes, but invalid for some node type, e.g., truncation nodes. It is safer to explicitly initialize such keys to something invalid, rather than leaving them initialized to all zeros, which has key type of UBIFS_INO_KEY. This patch introduces new "fake" key type UBIFS_INVALID_KEY and initializes unused 'snod->key' objects to this type. It also adds debugging assertions in the TNC code to make sure no one ever tries to look these nodes up in the TNC. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* 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.

* mm: add context argument to shrinker callbackDave Chinner2010-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the callback via container_of().

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlesslyArtem Bityutskiy2009-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers just fine and goes on. This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()' not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

* UBIFS: slightly optimize write-buffer timer usageArtem Bityutskiy2009-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the following minor optimization: 1. If write-buffer does not use the timer, indicate it with the wbuf->no_timer variable, instead of using the wbuf->softlimit variable. This is better because wbuf->softlimit is of ktime_t type, and the ktime_to_ns function contains 64-bit multiplication. 2. Do not call the 'hrtimer_cancel()' function for write-buffers which do not use timers. 3. Do not cancel the timer in 'ubifs_put_super()' because the synchronization function does this. This patch also removes a confusing comment. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
* UBIFS: start using hrtimersArtem Bityutskiy2009-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS uses timers for write-buffer write-back. It is not crucial for us to write-back exactly on time. We are fine to write-back a little earlier or later. And this means we may optimize UBIFS timer so that it could be groped with a close timer event, so that the CPU would not be waken up just to do the write back. This is optimization to lessen power consumption, which is important in embedded devices UBIFS is used for. hrtimers have a nice feature: they are effectively range timers, and we may defind the soft and hard limits for it. Standard timers do not have these feature. They may only be made deferrable, but this means there is effectively no hard limit. So, we will better use hrtimers.

* UBIFS: do not allocate too muchArtem Bityutskiy2008-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard (non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of allocating 128KiB every time. This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could path either pre-allocated or allocated information to 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

The further patches fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

* UBIFS: fix races in bit-fieldsArtem Bityutskiy2008-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | We cannot store bit-fields together if the processes which change them may race, unless we serialize them. Thus, move the nospc and nospc_rp bit-fields eway from the mount option/constant bit-fields, to avoid races. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
