* [PATCH] lock exclusively in collect_mounts() and drop_collected_mounts()Al Viro2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | Taking namespace_sem shared there isn't worth the trouble, especially with vfsmount ID allocation about to be added. That way we know that umount_tree(), copy_tree() and clone_mnt() are _always_ serialized by namespace_sem. umount_tree() still needs vfsmount_lock (it manipulates hash chains, among other things), but that's a separate story.

| * | sysfs: refill attribute buffer when reading from offset 0Dan Williams2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the policy since before 2.6.12. It allows userspace to get a consistent snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks. Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see the new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any memory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed callsDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts. There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from dentry_open() calls. This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or mnt_writer count imbalances. I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it. [hch: made it conditional on a debug option.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: honor mount writer counts at remountDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally from: Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at> This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set. Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to the bind mount operation. If you require such a mount, you must first do the bind, then follow it up with a 'mount -o remount,ro' operation: If you wish to have a r/o bind mount of /foo on bar: mount --bind /foo /bar mount -o remount,ro /bar Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: track numbers of writers to mountsDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the real meat of the entire series. It actually implements the tracking of the number of writers to a mount. However, it causes scalability problems because there can be hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files on the same mnt at the same time. Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive scalaing problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended. This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable. All want/drop operations are local to a cpu as long that cpu operates on the same mount, and there are no writer count imbalances. Writer count imbalances happen when a write is taken on one cpu, and released on another, like when an open/close pair is performed on two Upon a remount,ro request, all of the data from the percpu variables is collected (expensive, but very rare) and we determine if there are any outstanding writers to the mount. I've written a little benchmark to sit in a loop for a couple of seconds in several cpus in parallel doing open/write/close loops. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/openbench.c The code in here is a a worst-possible case for this patch. It does opens on a _pair_ of files in two different mounts in parallel. This should cause my code to lose its "operate on the same mount" optimization completely. This worst-case scenario causes a 3% degredation in the benchmark. I could probably get rid of even this 3%, but it would be more complex than what I have here, and I think this is getting into acceptable territory. In practice, I expect writing more than 3 bytes to a file, as well as disk I/O to mask any effects that this has. (To get rid of that 3%, we could have an #defined number of mounts in the percpu variable. So, instead of a CPU getting operate only on percpu data when it accesses only one mount, it could stay on percpu data when it only accesses N or fewer mounts.)

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: check mnt instead of superblock directlyDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we depend on the inodes for writeability, we will not catch the r/o mounts when implemented. This patches uses __mnt_want_write(). It does not guarantee that the mount will stay writeable after the check. But, this is OK for one of the checks because it is just for a printk(). The other two are probably unnecessary and duplicate existing checks in the VFS. This won't make them better checks than before, but it will make them detect r/o mounts.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for open()sDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It elevates the writer count on a mount each time a non-special file is opened for write. We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out that __dentry_open() is used as well to create filps. This will cover even those cases, while a call in may_open() would not have. There is also an elevated count around the vfs_create() call in open_namei(). See the comments for more details, but we need this to fix a 'create, remount, fail r/w open()' race. Some filesystems forego the use of normal vfs calls to create struct files. Make sure that these users elevate the mnt writer count because they will get __fput(), and we need to make sure they're balanced.

The r/o bind mount code notices that this was done without a proper mnt_drop_write() and properly gives a warning. This patch does a mnt_drop_write() to keep everything balanced.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: create helper to drop file write accessDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If someone decides to demote a file from r/w to just r/o, they can use this same code as __fput(). NFS does just that, and will use this in the next patch. AV: drop write access in __fput() only after we evict from file list.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: stub functionsDave Hansen2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the filesystem. Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS where writes are performed with a want/drop pair. When that is complete, we can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.

* | [PATCH] merge open_namei() and do_filp_open()Christoph Hellwig2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | open_namei() will, in the future, need to take mount write counts over its creation and truncation (via may_open()) operations. It needs to keep these write counts until any potential filp that is created gets __fput()'d. This gets complicated in the error handling and becomes very murky as to how far open_namei() actually got, and whether or not that mount write count was taken. That makes it a bad interface. All that the current do_filp_open() really does is allocate the nameidata on the stack, then call open_namei(). So, this merges those two functions and moves filp_open() over to namei.c so it can be close to its buddy: do_filp_open(). It also gets a kerneldoc comment in the process.

* | [PATCH] do namei_flags calculation inside open_namei()Dave Hansen2008-04-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My end goal here is to make sure all users of may_open() return filps. This will ensure that we properly release mount write counts which were taken for the filp in may_open(). This patch moves the sys_open flags to namei flags calculation into fs/namei.c. We'll shortly be moving the nameidata_to_filp() calls into namei.c, and this gets the sys_open flags to a place where we can get at them when we need them.
