| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs: add sysfs_open_file->sd and ->fileTejun Heo2013-10-05

This patch adds sysfs_open_file->sd and ->file so that we can reach all the necessary data structures from sysfs_open_file. flush_write_buffer() is updated to drop @dentry which was used to discover the sysfs_dirent as it's now available through sysfs_open_file->sd. This patch doesn't cause any behavior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Ensure buffer filling on the first read. 2. Force buffer filling after a write. 3. Force buffer filling after a successful poll. However, #2 and #3 don't really work as sysfs doesn't reset file position. While the read buffer would be refilled, the next read would continue from the position after the last read or write, requiring an explicit seek to the start for it to be useful, which makes ->needs_read_fill superflous as read buffer is always refilled if f_pos == 0. Update sysfs_read_file() to test buffer->page for #1 instead and remove ->needs_read_fill. While this changes behavior in extreme corner cases - e.g. re-reading a sysfs file after seeking to non-zero position after a write or poll, it's highly unlikely to lead to actual breakage. This change is to prepare for using seq_file in the read path. While at it, reformat a comment in fill_write_buffer().

Thanks to group subdirectories, this doesn't even match with kobject boundaries. sysfs is in the process of being separated out so that it can be used by multiple subsystems and we want to have a consistent behavior - either removal of a sysfs_dirent should remove every descendant entries or none instead of something inbetween. This patch implements proper recursive removal in __sysfs_remove_dir(). The function now walks its subtree in a post-order walk to remove all descendants. This is a behavior change but kobject / driver layer, which currently is the only consumer, has already been updated to handle duplicate removal attempts, so nothing should be broken after this change.

A directory removal would delete all files directly under it but wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent, seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it and require explicit deletions. We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver core and want a consistent behavior. A removal should delete either only the specified node or everything under it. I think it is helpful to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement it. Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor gets removed before it. As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we may end up with dangling pointer on descendants. This can be solved by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject. Acquire an extra reference on the associated sysfs_dirent on directory creation and put it after removal.

Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes @parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd. This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes confusing. This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter. Note that sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is always known from the target @sd. While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

For example, we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing compilation warning. This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less likely. There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be updated by following patches.

As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged children or not. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace() is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible anyway. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

It is backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace(). * sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of the target directory. Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns. * sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one. The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit @ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the device layer. While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

The whole sequence of operations is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the long term. This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir() and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively. ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will be used from another file in the following patches. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

This finishes off some of the details of all the scalability patches merged during the merge window. Also don't mark dentry_kill() for inlining, since it's the uncommon path and inlining it just makes the common path slower due to extra function entry/exit overhead.

Paul says: Ever since I tried running (release candidates of) v3.11 on the two working i686s I still have lying around I ran into issues on resuming from suspend. Reverting 9745cdb36da8 (select: use freezable blocking call) resolves those issues. Resuming from suspend on i686 on (release candidates of) v3.11 and later triggers issues like: traps: systemd[1] general protection ip:b738e490 sp:bf882fc0 error:0 in libc-2.16.so[b731c000+1b0000] and traps: rtkit-daemon[552] general protection ip:804d6e5 sp:b6cb32f0 error:0 in rtkit-daemon[8048000+d000] Once I hit the systemd error I can only get out of the mess that the system is at that point by power cycling it. Since we are reverting another freezer-related change causing similar problems to happen, this one should be reverted as well.

And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

Use of schedule_delayed_work() gives it a chance to accumulate a bit before we do __fput() on all of them. I'm not too happy about that solution, but... on at least one real-world setup it reverts about 10% throughput loss we got from switch to delayed fput.

This is due to cap_large_files bit being different for SMB1 and SMB2/3 (where it is just an internal flag that is not negotiated and the SMB1 one corresponds to multichannel capability, so maybe LFS works correctly if server sends 0x08 flag) while capabilities are checked always for the SMB1 bit in cifs_read_super(). The patch fixes this by checking for the correct bit according to the protocol version.

To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated filesystem cache in a tight loop. Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not make progress.

There is no reason to not allow O_PATH file descriptors here (fstatfs is very much a path operation), so use "fdget_raw()". See commit 55815f70147d ("vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'") for a very similar issue reported for fstat() by the same team.

If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous allocation pointers, so we leak either way. Spotted with Coverity. [ Fixed by tytso to set is and bs to NULL after freeing these pointers, in case in the retry loop we later end up triggering an error causing a jump to cleanup, at which point we could have a double free bug. -- Ted ] Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

[job7] startdelay=0 rw=randrw filename=data0/f2:data0/f1 The culprit of the problem is that after the commit ext4_writepages() are more aggressive in writing back pages. Thus we have less consecutive dirty pages resulting in more seeking. This increased aggressivity is caused by a bug in the condition terminating ext4_writepages(). We start writing from the beginning of the file even if we should have terminated ext4_writepages() because wbc->nr_to_write <= 0. After fixing the condition the throughput of the fio workload is about 20% better than before writeback reorganization.
