There is a potential race in fscache operation enqueuing for reading and
copying multiple pages from cachefiles to netfs. The problem can be seen
easily on a heavy loaded system (for example many processes reading files
continually on an NFS share covered by fscache triggered this problem within
a few minutes).The race is due to cachefiles_read_waiter() adding the op to the monitor
to_do list and then then drop the object->work_lock spinlock before
completing fscache_enqueue_operation(). Once the lock is dropped,
cachefiles_read_copier() grabs the op, completes processing it, and
makes it through fscache_retrieval_complete() which sets the op->state to
the final state of FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE(4). When cachefiles_read_waiter()
finally gets through the remainder of fscache_enqueue_operation()
it sees the invalid state, and hits the ASSERTCMP and the following
oops is seen:

The patch which changed cachefiles from calling ->bmap() to using the
bmap() wrapper overwrote the running return value with the result of
calling bmap(). This causes an assertion failure elsewhere in the code.Fix this by using ret2 rather than ret to hold the return value.

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures
and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to
a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures.As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful
in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names
unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing
order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly
as possible.Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds() avoids the deprecated interface.

[Description]
In a heavily loaded system where the system pagecache is nearing memory
limits and fscache is enabled, pages can be leaked by fscache while trying
read pages from cachefiles backend. This can happen because two
applications can be reading same page from a single mount, two threads can
be trying to read the backing page at same time. This results in one of
the threads finding that a page for the backing file or netfs file is
already in the radix tree. During the error handling cachefiles does not
clean up the reference on backing page, leading to page leak.[Fix]
The fix is straightforward, to decrement the reference when error is
encountered.[dhowells: Note that I've removed the clearance and put of newpage as
they aren't attested in the commit message and don't appear to actually
achieve anything since a new page is only allocated is newpage!=NULL and
any residual new page is cleared before returning.][Testing]
I have tested the fix using following method for 12+ hrs.1) mkdir -p /mnt/nfs ; mount -o vers=3,fsc :/export /mnt/nfs
2) create 10000 files of 2.8MB in a NFS mount.
3) start a thread to simulate heavy VM presssure
(while true ; do echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ; sleep 1 ; done)&
4) start multiple parallel reader for data set at same time
find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null &
find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null &
find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null &
..
..
find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null &
find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null &
5) finally check using cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats | grep -i pages ;
free -h , cat /proc/meminfo and page-types -r -b lru
to ensure all pages are freed.Reviewed-by: Daniel Axtens

If cachefiles gets an error other then ENOENT when trying to look up an
object in the cache (in this case, EACCES), the object state machine will
eventually transition to the DROP_OBJECT state.This state invokes fscache_drop_object() which tries to sync the auxiliary
data with the cache (this is done lazily since commit 402cb8dda949d) on an
incomplete cache object struct.The problem comes when cachefiles_update_object_xattr() is called to
rewrite the xattr holding the data. There's an assertion there that the
cache object points to a dentry as we're going to update its xattr. The
assertion trips, however, as dentry didn't get set.Fix the problem by skipping the update in cachefiles if the object doesn't
refer to a dentry. A better way to do it could be to skip the update from
the DROP_OBJECT state handler in fscache, but that might deny the cache the
opportunity to update intermediate state.If this error occurs, the kernel log includes lines that look like the
following:CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -13

the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename();
unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the
parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's
still the child of what used to be its parent. Unfortunately,
the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its
->d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc. So we sail all
the way to ->rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting
to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory.The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for
making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in
the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging
information about it and the new object.Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared
on the old object (or return an error). The ACTIVE flag should be cleared
after it has been removed from the active object tree. A timeout of 60s is
used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.Fixes: 9ae326a69004 ("CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem")

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and
then we try to add it to the active object tree. If a conflicting object
is already present, we want to wait for that to go away. After the wait,
we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's
already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is
issued.Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again.

When a cookie is allocated that causes fscache_object structs to be
allocated, those objects are initialised with the cookie pointer, but
aren't blessed with a ref on that cookie unless the attachment is
successfully completed in fscache_attach_object().If attachment fails because the parent object was dying or there was a
collision, fscache_attach_object() returns without incrementing the cookie
counter - but upon failure of this function, the object is released which
then puts the cookie, whether or not a ref was taken on the cookie.Fix this by taking a ref on the cookie when it is assigned in
fscache_object_init(), even when we're creating a root object.Analysis from Kiran Kumar:

cachefiles_read_waiter() has the right to access a 'monitor' object by
virtue of being called under the waitqueue lock for one of the pages in its
purview. However, it has no ref on that monitor object or on the
associated operation.What it is allowed to do is to move the monitor object to the operation's
to_do list, but once it drops the work_lock, it's actually no longer
permitted to access that object. However, it is trying to enqueue the
retrieval operation for processing - but it can only do this via a pointer
in the monitor object, something it shouldn't be doing.If it doesn't enqueue the operation, the operation may not get processed.
If the order is flipped so that the enqueue is first, then it's possible
for the work processor to look at the to_do list before the monitor is
enqueued upon it.Fix this by getting a ref on the operation so that we can trust that it
will still be there once we've added the monitor to the to_do list and
dropped the work_lock. The op can then be enqueued after the lock is
dropped.The bug can manifest in one of a couple of ways. The first manifestation
looks like:FS-Cache:

That can (and does, on some filesystems) happen - ->mkdir() (and thus
vfs_mkdir()) can legitimately leave its argument negative and just
unhash it, counting upon the lookup to pick the object we'd created
next time we try to look at that name.Some vfs_mkdir() callers forget about that possibility...

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received. This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:(1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This
can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.(2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.(3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.(4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
available. This allows:(a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.(b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

Fix a couple of checker warnings in fscache and cachefiles:
(1) fscache_n_op_requeue is never used, so get rid of it.
(2) cachefiles_uncache_page() is passed in a lock that it releases, so
this needs annotating.Signed-off-by: David Howells

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
donewith de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.Scripted-by: Al Viro

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018075952.10627-9-mgorman@techsingularity.net

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018075952.10627-6-mgorman@techsingularity.net

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entryFor example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {Cc: Linus Torvalds

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they
are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues.Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while
over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality.So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality
out of it, into a separate .h and .c file:include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs
kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementationUpdate all header dependencies.
This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.Cc: Linus Torvalds
