* knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domainJ. Bruce Fields2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do. However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd. In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that will be left to later patches. Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia. Signed-off-by: "J.

* knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on errJ. Bruce Fields2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on success, and on failure return: errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or -ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in export lacks an auth_domain. Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found, which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure. Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify some code in the process. We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never happen. Signed-off-by: "J.

* knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM sizeMeelap Shah2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any open when it was possible to. Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache approaches the size of the server's total memory. Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM. My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about 1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() returns an error and returns any posix acls calculated in two caller-provided pointers. It was setting these pointers to -errno in some error cases, resulting in nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() calling posix_acl_release() with a -errno as an argument. Fix both the caller and the callee, by modifying nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() to stop relying on the passed-in-pointers being left as NULL in the error case, and by modifying nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() to stop returning garbage in those pointers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot, during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but may not acquire new locks. Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients. For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case), then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.

* knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuseChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget. Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't implement the ->read_inode routine. Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the get_dentry method. While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later patches.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE.

* fs: introduce some page/buffer invariantsNick Piggin2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has buffers. If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate). The exception to this rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate. A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate. If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data loss problem. Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we should fix those up, and enforce this ordering. Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of invalidate. This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure is called. I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it. It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help. 1) Don't hide struct shrinker. It contains no magic. 2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker". It's not helpful. 3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker". 4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker". 5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

* Lumpy Reclaim V4Andy Whitcroft2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim. The current reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders. To get pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory; >95% in a lot of cases. This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator. It targets groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and inactive lists. This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to move from active to inactive, and active to free lists. This behaviour is only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been requested. This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability together. This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms the foundation. Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking. Mel said: The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing. When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can be resized with greater reliability. Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own was very slow as the success rate was quite low. Without lumpy-reclaim, each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages. With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

* Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may ↵Mel Gorman2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | be migrated It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista. This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter assignment from one or more volumes. Doing this introduces a so far unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM fails to parse the disk altogether. This patch teaches the driver about this field. Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the problem and working with me on getting it fixed. It is now working for him.

Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence, l_start and l_len.
