PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.virtual patch

This patch basically reverts a very old patch from 2008,
7a9f53b3c1875bef22ad4588e818bc046ef183da, with the title
"Alternate gfs2_iget to avoid looking up inodes being freed".
The original patch was designed to avoid a deadlock caused by lock
ordering with try_rgrp_unlink. The patch forced the function to not
find inodes that were being removed by VFS. The problem is, that
made it impossible for nodes to delete their own unlinked dinodes
after a certain point in time, because the inode needed was not found
by this filtering process. There is no longer a need for the patch,
since function try_rgrp_unlink no longer locks the inode: All it does
is queue the glock onto the delete work_queue, so there should be no
more deadlock.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

The fsx test in xfstests was failing because it was using direct IO
writes which were using a bad calculation. It was using
loff_t lstart = offset & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1); when it should be
loff_t lstart = offset & ~(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
Thus, the write at offset 0x67e00 was calculating lstart to be
0xe00, the address of our corruption. Instead, it should have been
0x67000. This patch fixes the calculation.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

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]

This patch fixes an error condition in which an inode is partially
created in gfs2_create_inode() but then some error is discovered,
which causes it to fail and call iput() before the iopen glock is
created or held. In that case, gfs2_delete_inode would try to
unlock an iopen glock that doesn't yet exist. Therefore, we test
its holder (which must exist) for the HIF_HOLDER bit before trying
to dq it.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Currently the error path of function gfs2_inode_lookup calls function
gfs2_glock_put corresponding to an earlier call to gfs2_glock_get for
the inode glock. That's wrong because the error path also calls
iget_failed() which eventually calls iput, which eventually calls
gfs2_evict_inode, which does another gfs2_glock_put. This double-put
can cause the glock reference count to get off.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson
-
Before this patch, when function try_rgrp_unlink queued a glock for
delete_work to reclaim the space, it used the inode glock to do so.
That's different from the iopen callback which uses the iopen glock
for the same purpose. We should be consistent and always use the
iopen glock. This may also save us reference counting problems with
the inode glock, since clear_glock does an extra glock_put() for the
inode glock.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Some error cases in gfs2_create_inode were not unlocking the iopen
glock, getting the reference count off. This adds the proper unlock.

which gfs2_qa_delete() was not called in an error case.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

In function gfs2_delete_inode() we write and flush the mapping for

When gfs2 was unmounting filesystems or changing them to read-only it
was clearing the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit before the final log flush. This
caused a race. If an inode glock got demoted in the gap between
clearing the bit and the shutdown flush, it would be unable to reserve
log space to clear out the active items list in inode_go_sync, causing an
error in inode_go_inval because the glock was still dirty.To solve this, the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit is now cleared inside the
shutdown log flush. This means that, because of the locking on the log
blocks, either inode_go_sync will be able to reserve space to clean the
glock before the shutdown flush, or the shutdown flush will clean the
glock itself, before inode_go_sync fails to reserve the space. Either
way, the glock will be clean before inode_go_inval.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

gfs2 currently returns 31 bits of filename hash as a cookie that readdir
uses for an offset into the directory. When there are a large number of
directory entries, the likelihood of a collision goes up way too
quickly. GFS2 will now return cookies that are guaranteed unique for a
while, and then fail back to using 30 bits of filename hash.
Specifically, the directory leaf blocks are divided up into chunks based
on the minimum size of a gfs2 directory entry (48 bytes). Each entry's
cookie is based off the chunk where it starts, in the linked list of
leaf blocks that it hashes to (there are 131072 hash buckets). Directory
entries will have unique names until they take reach chunk 8192.
Assuming the largest filenames possible, and the least efficient spacing
possible, this new method will still be able to return unique names when
the previous method has statistically more than a 99% chance of a
collision. The non-unique names it fails back to are guaranteed to not
collide with the unique names.unique cookies will be in this format:
- 1 bit "0" to make sure the the returned cookie is positive
- 17 bits for the hash table index
- 1 bit for the mode "0"
- 13 bits for the offsetnon-unique cookies will be in this format:
- 1 bit "0" to make sure the the returned cookie is positive
- 17 bits for the hash table index
- 1 bit for the mode "1"
- 13 more bits of the name hashAnother benefit of location based cookies, is that once a directory's
exhash table is fully extended (so that multiple hash table indexs do
not use the same leaf blocks), gfs2 can skip sorting the directory
entries until it reaches the non-unique ones, and then it only needs to
sort these. This provides a significant speed up for directory reads of
very large directories.The only issue is that for these cookies to continue to point to the
correct entry as files are added and removed from the directory, gfs2
must keep the entries at the same offset in the leaf block when they are
split (see my previous patch). This means that until all the nodes in a
cluster are running with code that will split the directory leaf blocks
this way, none of the nodes can use the new cookie code. To deal with
this, gfs2 now has the mount option loccookie, which, if set, will make
it return these new location based cookies. This option must not be set
until all nodes in the cluster are at least running this version of the
kernel code, and you have guaranteed that there are no outstanding
cookies required by other software, such as NFS.gfs2 uses some of the extra space at the end of the gfs2_dirent
structure to store the calculated readdir cookies. This keeps us from
needing to allocate a seperate array to hold these values. gfs2
recomputes the cookie stored in de_cookie for every readdir call. The
time it takes to do so is small, and if gfs2 expected this value to be
saved on disk, the new code wouldn't work correctly on filesystems
created with an earlier version of gfs2.One issue with adding de_cookie to the union in the gfs2_dirent
structure is that it caused the union to align itself to a 4 byte
boundary, instead of its previous 2 byte boundary. This changed the
offset of de_rahead. To solve that, I pulled de_rahead out of the union,
since it does not need to be there.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

Currently, when gfs2 splits a directory leaf block, the dirents that
need to be copied to the new leaf block are packed into the start of it.
This is good for space efficiency. However, if gfs2 were to copy those
dirents into the exact same offset in the new leaf block as they had in
the old block, it would be able to generate a readdir cookie based on
the dirent location, that would be guaranteed to be unique up well past
where the current code is statistically almost guaranteed to have
collisions. So, gfs2 now keeps the dirent's offset in the block the
same when it copies it to the new leaf block.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

At some point in the past, we used to have a timeout when GFS2 was
unmounting, trying to clear out its glocks. If the timeout expires,
it would dump the remaining glocks to the kernel messages so that
developers can debug the problem. That timeout was eliminated,
probably by accident. This patch reintroduces it.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Before this patch, function update_statfs called gfs2_statfs_change_out
to update the master statfs buffer without the sd_statfs_spin held.
In theory, another process could call gfs2_statfs_sync, which takes
the sd_statfs_spin lock and re-reads m_sc from the buffer. So there's
a theoretical timing window in which one process could write the
master statfs buffer, then another comes along and re-reads it, wiping
out the changes.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure
exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to
remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we
know the structure will exist.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

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

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

When gfs2 allocates an inode and its extended attribute block next to
each other at inode create time, the inode's directory entry indicates
that in de_rahead. In that case, we can readahead the extended
attribute block when we read in the inode.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

This lockdep splat was being triggered on umount:
[55715.973122] ===============================
[55715.980169] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
[55715.981021] 4.3.0-11553-g8d3de01-dirty #15 Tainted: G W
[55715.982353] -------------------------------
[55715.983301] fs/gfs2/glock.c:1427 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!The code it refers to is the rht_for_each_entry_safe usage in
glock_hash_walk. The condition that triggers the warning is
lockdep_rht_bucket_is_held(tbl, hash) which is checked in the
__rcu_dereference_protected macro.The rhashtable buckets are not changed in glock_hash_walk so it's safe
to rely on the rcu protection. Replace the rht_for_each_entry_safe()
usage with rht_for_each_entry_rcu(), which doesn't care whether the
bucket lock is held if the rcu read lock is held.Signed-off-by: Andrew Price

The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Pull vfs xattr cleanups from Al Viro.
* 'for-linus-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
f2fs: xattr simplifications
squashfs: xattr simplifications
9p: xattr simplifications
xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags
jffs2: Add missing capability check for listing trusted xattrs
hfsplus: Remove unused xattr handler list operations
ubifs: Remove unused security xattr handler
vfs: Fix the posix_acl_xattr_list return value
vfs: Check attribute names in posix acl xattr handers -
The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher
