  • Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
    it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
    the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
    and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
    boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

  • RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

    - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
    permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
    - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
    to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
    the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
    - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
    - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
    page lock to follow page->mapping.

    The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
    creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
    reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
    kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

    In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
    during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
    not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

    The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
    however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
    so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
    real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
    doubt it will be a problem.

  • The BKL is only used in put_super and fill_super that are both protected by

  • This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
    It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
    get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

    I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
    do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
    any more.

    do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
    and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
    from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
    through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
    afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
    follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
    get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
    fill_super function.

    Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
    low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

    [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
    don't use it elsewhere]

  • BFS is a very simple FS and its superblocks contains only static
    information and is never changed. However, the BFS code for some
    misterious reasons marked its buffer head as dirty from time to
    time, but nothing in that buffer was ever changed.

    This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply
    because it is not needed. It removes:

    1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not
    needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the
    start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget
    about the SB.
    2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because
    it is never changed.
    3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync
    (inodes are synched by VFS).
    4. The '->write_super()' method, again, because the SB is never
    changed.

  • We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
    that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
    in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.

    Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
    guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
    filesystem maintainers.

    Exceptions:

    - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
    affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
    - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
    the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts

  • bfs_fill_super() already touches all inodes, so we can easily add some
    cheap sanity checks and check if the inode start and end blocks are
    smaller than the maximum number of blocks, the inode start block lies
    behind the end block or the file end offset is behind the end of the
    filesystem. Also check if the start of data offset in the super block
    fits the filesystem.

    The added sanity checks catch softlockup issues early when we try to
    sb_bread() lots of blocks in a loop in bfs_readdir() and bfs_find_entry().
    In addition an oom issue in bfs_fill_super() is prevented by this when
    s_start is corrupted, which influences imap_len and we try to allocate a
    huge info->si_imap.

  • Stop the BFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
    bfs_read_inode() with bfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). bfs_iget()
    then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an
    inode in the event of an error.

    bfs_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
    instead of EINVAL.

  • I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as
    well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla.
    Please follow these links for more information:

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366

    This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces
    coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements
    specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes
    such as removal of trivial debug output.

    Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the
    in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never
    actually used.

    If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this
    driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow
    State University and in the International Institute of Information
    Technology in Pune, India.

  • I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
    SLAB.

    I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
    to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
    performed before each freeing of an object.

    I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
    before the free. That also places the check near the code object
    manipulation of the object.

    Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
    compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
    handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
    SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
    in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
    use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
    same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).

    There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
    clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
    pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

    This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
    unimplemented flags from SLUB.

  • Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
    pointer.

    This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
    sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
    require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
    the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

    linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
    successfully.

    Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

  • Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
    permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

    The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
    pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
    which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
    superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

    The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
    superblock pointer.

    This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
    points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
    such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
    and mnt_sb would be set directly.

    The patch also makes the following changes:

    (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
    pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
    very little.

    (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
    normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
    always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

    (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
    dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

    This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
    aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
    currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
    and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
    dentries being left unculled.

    However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
    implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
    simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
    inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
    with child trees.

    [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

    (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
    changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

    If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
    in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
    from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
    memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
    allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

    The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked
    those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
    inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even
    though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
    potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
    spreading.

    Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
    SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
    the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
    Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
    slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

  • bfs_fill_super() walks the inode table to get the bitmap of free inodes
    and collect stats. It has no business using iget() for that - it's a
    lot of extra work, extra icache pollution and more complex code.
    Switched to walking the damn thing directly.

    Note: that also allows to kill ->i_dsk_ino in there - separate patch if
    Tigran can confirm that this field can be zero only for deleted inodes
    (i.e. something that could only be found during that scan and not by
    normal lookups).

  • * Makes BFS code endianness-clean.

    * Fixes some signedness warnings.

    * Fixes a problem in fs/bfs/inode.c:164 where inodes not synced to disk
    don't get fully marked as clean. Here's how to reproduce it:

    # mount -o loop -t bfs /bfs.img /mnt
    # df -i /mnt
    Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 48 1 47 3% /mnt
    # df -k /mnt
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 512 5 508 1% /mnt
    # cp 60k-archive.zip /mnt/mt.zip
    # df -k /mnt
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 512 65 447 13% /mnt
    # df -i /mnt
    Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 48 2 46 5% /mnt
    # rm /mnt/mt.zip
    # echo $?
    0

    [If the unlink happens before the buffers flush, the following happens:]

    # df -i /mnt
    Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 48 2 46 5% /mnt
    # df -k /mnt
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /bfs.img 512 65 447 13% /mnt
