  • Now that we use write_inode to flush server
    cache related to fid, we don't need tsyncfs either fort dotl or dotu
    protocols. For dotu this helps to do a more efficient server flush.

  • During fid lookup we need to make sure that the dentry->d_parent doesn't
    change so that we can safely walk the parent dentries. To ensure that
    we need to prevent cross directory rename during fid_lookup. Add a
    per superblock rename_sem rw_semaphore to prevent parallel fid lookup and
    rename.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
    the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

    Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

    Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
    sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
    addressed by later patches.

  • When a new user attached at a directory other than the root, he would end
    up in the parent directory of the cwd. This was due to a logic error in
    the code which attaches the user at the mount point and walks back to the
    cwd. This patch fixes that.

  • The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
    done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
    server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
    Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

    Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
    single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
    depends on the client doing the permission checking.

    This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
    separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
    'access'):

    - attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
    If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
    sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
    the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
    As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
    only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

    - allow only one user to access the tree (access=)
    Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
    to access it will get EPERM error.

    - do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
    V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
    If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
    one.

  • This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p.
    It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p
    leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in
    preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other
    than VFS).

  • While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
    place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
    exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
    store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
    performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
    we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
    any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
    two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
    in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
    to improve metadata operational performance.

  • v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux
    dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for
    aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including
    wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd).

    This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids
    will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally
    correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0
    (and d_delete is called).

    Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or
    uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when
    we fix the security model.

  • In order to assure atomic create+open v9fs stores the open fid produced by
    v9fs_vfs_create in the dentry, from where v9fs_file_open retrieves it and
    associates it with the open file.

    This patch modifies v9fs to use nameidata.intent.open values to do the atomic
    create+open.

  • Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's
    fid management.

    Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file
    structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal
    to zero in the dentry's list of fids.

    v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before
    v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are
    not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created
    by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's
    list
