* deprecate smbfs in favour of cifsAndrew Morton2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smbfs is a bit buggy and has no maintainer. Change it to shout at the user on the first five mount attempts - tell them to switch to CIFS. Come December we'll mark it BROKEN and see what happens.

* Add 64-bit capability support to the kernelAndrew Morgan2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit kernel space capabilities. If a capability set cannot be compressed into 32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE. FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats) http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.6/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-syle fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use get_task_comm()] [ezk@cs.sunysb.edu: build fix] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: unused var] [serue@us.ibm.com: export __cap_ symbols] Signed-off-by: Andrew G.

* VFS: Reorder vfs_getxattr to avoid unnecessary calls to the LSMDavid P. Quigley2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally vfs_getxattr would pull the security xattr variable using the inode getxattr handle and then proceed to clobber it with a subsequent call to the LSM. This patch reorders the two operations such that when the xattr requested is in the security namespace it first attempts to grab the value from the LSM directly. If it fails to obtain the value because there is no module present or the module does not support the operation it will fall back to using the inode getxattr operation. In the event that both are inaccessible it returns EOPNOTSUPP. Signed-off-by: David P.

* VFS/Security: Rework inode_getsecurity and callers to return resulting bufferDavid P. Quigley2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies the interface to inode_getsecurity to have the function return a buffer containing the security blob and its length via parameters instead of relying on the calling function to give it an appropriately sized buffer. Security blobs obtained with this function should be freed using the release_secctx LSM hook. This alleviates the problem of the caller having to guess a length and preallocate a buffer for this function allowing it to be used elsewhere for Labeled NFS. The patch also removed the unused err parameter. The conversion is similar to the one performed by Al Viro for the security_getprocattr hook. Signed-off-by: David P.

* writeback: speed up writeback of big dirty filesFengguang Wu2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the writeback for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following happens instead: - after 30s: ~4M - after 5s: ~4M - after 5s: all remaining 92M Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this: s_io s_more_io ------------------------- 1) 100M,1K 0 2) 1K 96M 3) 0 96M 1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file 2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more 3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG) nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all been written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in s_more_io. We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug). We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0 does not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate that more io should be done. With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next kupdate invokation 5s later. In sync_sb_inodes() we only set more_io on super_blocks we actually visited. This avoids the interaction between two pdflush deamons. Also in __sync_single_inode() we don't blindly keep requeuing the io if the filesystem cannot progress. Failing to do so may lead to 100% iowait.

* skip writing data pages when inode is under I_SYNCQi Yong2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since I_SYNC was split out from I_LOCK, the concern in commit 4b89eed93e0fa40a63e3d7b1796ec1337ea7a3aa ("Write back inode data pages even when the inode itself is locked") is not longer valid. We should revert to the original behavior: in __writeback_single_inode(), when we find an I_SYNC-ed inode and we're not doing a data-integrity sync, skip writing entirely. Otherwise, we are double calling do_writepages() Signed-off-by: Qi Yong <qiyong@fc-cn.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Joern Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> Cc: WU Fengguang <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* Fix /proc dcache deadlock in do_exitAndrea Arcangeli2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a sles9 system hang in start_this_handle from a customer with some heavy workload where all tasks are waiting on kjournald to commit the transaction, but kjournald waits on t_updates to go down to zero (it never does). This was reported as a lowmem shortage deadlock but when checking the debug data I noticed the VM wasn't under pressure at all (well it was really under vm pressure, because lots of tasks hanged in the VM prune_dcache methods trying to flush dirty inodes, but no task was hanging in GFP_NOFS mode, the holder of the journal handle should have if this was a vm issue in the first place). No task was apparently holding the leftover handle in the committing transaction, so I deduced t_updates was stuck to 1 because a journal_stop was never run by some path (this turned out to be correct). With a debug patch adding proper reverse links and stack trace logging in ext3 deployed in production, I found journal_stop is never run because mark_inode_dirty_sync is called inside release_task called by do_exit. (that was quite fun because I would have never thought about this subtleness, I thought a regular path in ext3 had a bug and it forgot to call journal_stop) do_exit->release_task->mark_inode_dirty_sync->schedule() (will never come back to run journal_stop) The reason is that shrink_dcache_parent is racy by design (feature not a bug) and it can do blocking I/O in some case, but the point is that calling shrink_dcache_parent at the last stage of do_exit isn't safe for self-reaping tasks. I guess the memory pressure of the unbalanced highmem system allowed to trigger this more easily. Now mainline doesn't have this line in iput (like sles9 has): if (inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_DELAYED) mark_inode_dirty_sync(inode); so it will probably not crash with ext3, but for example ext2 implements an I/O-blocking ext2_put_inode that will lead to similar screwups with ext2_free_blocks never coming back and it's definitely wrong to call blocking-IO paths inside do_exit. So this should fix a subtle bug in mainline too (not verified in practice though). The equivalent fix for ext3 is also not verified yet to fix the problem in sles9 but I don't have doubt it will (it usually takes days to crash, so it'll take weeks to be sure). An alternate fix would be to offload that work to a kernel thread, but I don't think a reschedule for this is worth it, the vm should be able to collect those entries for the synchronous release_task.

* maps4: add proportional set size accounting in smapsFengguang Wu2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing it. So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other process, its PSS will be 1500. - lwn.net: "ELC: How much memory are applications really using?" The PSS proposed by Matt Mackall is a very nice metic for measuring an process's memory footprint. So collect and export it via /proc/<pid>/smaps. Matt Mackall's pagemap/kpagemap and John Berthels's exmap can also do the job. They are comprehensive tools. But for PSS, let's do it in the simple way.

* Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_userChristoph Lameter2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

* timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface).

| * NLM: tear down RPC clients in nlm_shutdown_hostsJeff Layton2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for a RPC to outlive the lockd daemon that created it, so we need to make sure that all RPC's are killed when lockd is coming down. When nlm_shutdown_hosts is called, kill off all RPC tasks associated with the host. Since we need to wait until they have all gone away, we might as well just shut down the RPC client altogether.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Neil Brown points out that we're checking buf[size-1] in a couple places without first checking whether size is zero. Actually, given the implementation of simple_transaction_get(), buf[-1] is zero, so in both of these cases the subsequent check of the value of buf[size-1] will catch this case. But it seems fragile to depend on that, so add explicit checks for this case. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Neither EPERM and ENOENT map to valid errors for PUTROOTFH according to rfc 3530, and, if anything, ENOENT is likely to be slightly more informative; so don't bother mapping ENOENT to EPERM. (Probably this was originally done because one likely cause was that there is an fsid=0 export but that it isn't permitted to this particular client. Now that we allow WRONGSEC returns, this is somewhat less likely.) In the long term we should work to make this situation less likely, perhaps by turning off nfsv4 service entirely in the absence of the pseudofs root, or constructing a pseudofilesystem root ourselves in the kernel as necessary.

Transports can also be removed as follows: '-'<transport_name><space><port number> For example: echo "-tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist Attempting to add a listener with an invalid transport string results in EPROTONOSUPPORT and a perror string of "Protocol not supported".

This is used in lockd to determine whether or not a transport needs to be created when a lockd instance is brought up. Specifying 0 for the address family or port is effectively a wild-card, and will result in matching the first transport in the service's list that has a matching class name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move sk_list and sk_ready to svc_xprt. This involves close because these lists are walked by svcs when closing all their transports. So I combined the moving of these lists to svc_xprt with making close transport independent. The svc_force_sock_close has been changed to svc_close_all and takes a list as an argument. This removes some svc internals knowledge from the svcs. This code races with module removal and transport addition. Thanks to Simon Holm Thøgersen for a compile fix.

Based on the comment, this appears to have been done to prevent some overly-clever IRIX client from causing itself problems. Perhaps we should remove that hack completely. For now, at least, it makes sense to allow root (when no_root_squash is set) to set uid and gid. While we're there, since nfsd_create and nfsd_create_v3 share the same logic, pull that out into a separate function. And spell out the individual modifications of ia_valid instead of doing them both at once inside a conditional.
