Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'

| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change
in the next commits.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

synchronization against multiple faults and faults causing block

Add locking to ensure that DAX faults are isolated from ext2 operations
that modify the data blocks allocation for an inode. This is intended to
be analogous to the work being done in XFS by Dave Chinner:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg90260.html
Compared with XFS the ext2 case is greatly simplified by the fact that ext2
already allocates and zeros new blocks before they are returned as part of
ext2_get_block(), so DAX doesn't need to worry about getting unmapped or
unwritten buffer heads.This means that the only work we need to do in ext2 is to isolate the DAX
faults from inode block allocation changes. I believe this just means that
we need to isolate the DAX faults from truncate operations.The newly introduced dax_sem is intended to replicate the protection
offered by i_mmaplock in XFS. In addition to truncate the i_mmaplock also
protects XFS operations like hole punching, fallocate down, extent
manipulation IOCTLS like xfs_ioc_space() and extent swapping. Truncate is
the only one of these operations supported by ext2.Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler

FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK indicates whether a file_system_type supports
cgroup writeback; however, different super_blocks of the same
file_system_type may or may not support cgroup writeback depending on
filesystem options. This patch replaces FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK with a
per-super_block flag.super_block->s_flags carries some internal flags in the high bits but
it's exposd to userland through uapi header and running out of space
anyway. This patch adds a new field super_block->s_iflags to carry
kernel-internal flags. It is currently only used by the new
SB_I_CGROUPWB flag whose concatenated and abbreviated name is for
consistency with other super_block flags.ext2_fill_super() is updated to set SB_I_CGROUPWB.

dax_fault() currently relies on the get_block callback to attach an
io completion callback to the mapping buffer head so that it can
run unwritten extent conversion after zeroing allocated blocks.Instead of this hack, pass the conversion callback directly into
dax_fault() similar to the get_block callback. When the filesystem
allocates unwritten extents, it will set the buffer_unwritten()
flag, and hence the dax_fault code can call the completion function
in the contexts where it is necessary without overloading the
mapping buffer head.Note: The changes to ext4 to use this interface are suspect at best.
In fact, the way ext4 did this end_io assignment in the first place
looks suspect because it only set a completion callback when there
wasn't already some other write() call taking place on the same
inode. The ext4 end_io code looks rather intricate and fragile with
all it's reference counting and passing to different contexts for
modification via inode private pointers that aren't protected by
locks...Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses
the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

[v1]
Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is
first read from and then written to.A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080)
[v2]
Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the
sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we
are then fixing another bug where: A user could start
writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.Signed-off-by: Yigal Korman

Now that no one is using rw, remove it completely.

The rw parameter to direct_IO is redundant with iov_iter->type, and
treated slightly differently just about everywhere it's used: some users
do rw & WRITE, and others do rw == WRITE where they should be doing a
bitwise check. Simplify this with the new iov_iter_rw() helper, which
always returns either READ or WRITE.Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval

And use iov_iter_rw() instead.

Most filesystems call through to these at some point, so we'll start

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
