* mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

* [XFS] Use the incore inode size in xfs_file_readdir()Lachlan McIlroy2008-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | We should be using the incore inode size here not the linux inode size. The incore inode size is always up to date for directories whereas the linux inode size is not updated for directories. We've hit assertions in xfs_bmap() and traced it back to the linux inode size being zero but the incore size being correct.

* [XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hackyChristoph Hellwig2008-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through the nasty open by handle ioctl. Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check in the normal file operations.

* [XFS] wire up ->open for directoriesChristoph Hellwig2008-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there's no ->open method set for directories on XFS. That means we don't perform any check for opening too large directories without O_LARGEFILE, we don't check for shut down filesystems, and we don't actually do the readahead for the first block in the directory. Instead of just setting the directories open routine to xfs_file_open we merge the shutdown check directly into xfs_file_open and create a new xfs_dir_open that first calls xfs_file_open and then performs the readahead for block 0.

* [XFS] Fix fsync() b0rkage.David Chinner2008-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is extending the file. Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and callers.

* [XFS] use filldir internallyChristoph Hellwig2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations (including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under arch/mips/). This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400 lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure. This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and large directories.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason. The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

* | mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)Nick Piggin2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

* | mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappingsNick Piggin2007-07-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the internal splice APIs and the pipe code: - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric and more streamlined with existing kernel practices. - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice methods Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Update XFS for the ->splice_read/->splice_write changes.

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
