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

Provide read-and-reset objects- and blocks-released counters for cachefilesd
to use to work out whether there's anything new that can be culled.One of the problems cachefilesd has is that if all the objects in the cache
are pinned by inodes lying dormant in the kernel inode cache, there isn't
anything for it to cull. In such a case, it just spins around walking the
filesystem tree and scanning for something to cull. This eats up a lot of
CPU time.By telling cachefilesd if there have been any releases, the daemon can
sleep until there is the possibility of something to do.cachefilesd finds this information by the following means:
(1) When the control fd is read, the kernel presents a list of values of
interest. "freleased=N" and "breleased=N" are added to this list to
indicate the number of files released and number of blocks released
since the last read call. At this point the counters are reset.(2) POLLIN is signalled if the number of files released becomes greater
than 0.Note that by 'released' it just means that the kernel has released its
interest in those files for the moment, not necessarily that the files
should be deleted from the cache.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF
marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in
CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about
a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in
the file if we extend the file over it.The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page
being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of
pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which
means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store.
The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to
the store limit - when we should reject that case.Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just
return -ENOBUFS instead.The assertion failure looks something like this:
CacheFiles: Assertion failed
1000 < 7b1 is false

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack
thereof) in cachefiles:(1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.(2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in
cachefiles.Signed-off-by: David Howells
Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.The following perl+coccinelle script was used:
use strict;
my @callers;

Pull fs-cache fixes from David Howells:
"Two fixes for bugs in CacheFiles and a cleanup in FS-Cache"* tag 'fscache-fixes-20141013' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
fs/fscache/object-list.c: use __seq_open_private()
CacheFiles: Fix incorrect test for in-memory object collision
CacheFiles: Handle object being killed before being set up -
When CacheFiles cache objects are in use, they have in-memory representations,
as defined by the cachefiles_object struct. These are kept in a tree rooted in
the cache and indexed by dentry pointer (since there's a unique mapping between
object index key and dentry).Collisions can occur between a representation already in the tree and a new
representation being set up because it takes time to dispose of an old
representation - particularly if it must be unlinked or renamed.When such a collision occurs, cachefiles_mark_object_active() is meant to check
to see if the old, already-present representation is in the process of being
discarded (ie. FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE is not set on it) - and, if so, wait for
the representation to be removed (ie. CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE is then
cleared).However, the test for whether the old representation is still live is checking
the new object - which always will be live at this point. This leads to an
oops looking like:CacheFiles: Error: Unexpected object collision

If a cache object gets killed whilst in the process of being set up - for
instance if the netfs relinquishes the cookie that the object is associated
with - then the object's state machine will transit to the DROP_OBJECT state
without necessarily going through the LOOKUP_OBJECT or CREATE_OBJECT states.This is a problem for CacheFiles because cachefiles_drop_object() assumes that
object->dentry will be set upon reaching the DROP_OBJECT state and has an
ASSERT() to that effect (see the oops below) - but object->dentry doesn't get
set until the LOOKUP_OBJECT or CREATE_OBJECT states (and not always then if
they fail).To fix this, just make the dentry cleanup in cachefiles_drop_object()
conditional on the dentry actually being set and remove the assertion.CacheFiles: Assertion failed

Not all filesystems now provide the rename i_op - ext4 for one - but rather
provide the rename2 i_op. CacheFiles checks that the filesystem has rename
and so will reject ext4 now with EPERM:CacheFiles: Failed to register: -1
Fix this by checking for rename2 as an alternative. The call to vfs_rename()
actually handles selection of the appropriate function, so we needn't worry
about that.Turning on debugging shows:

We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of
links pointing to an inode. Start with unlink.Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory. Breaking a
delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in
the case of a unresponsive NFS client. To avoid blocking all directory
operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation.
The logic then looks like:acquire locks
...
test for delegation; if found:
take reference on inode
release locks
wait for delegation break
drop reference on inode
retryIt is possible this could never terminate. (Even if we take precautions
to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could
get a different inode on each retry.) But this seems very unlikely.The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target
inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired
further up the call stack. We therefore add a "struct inode **"
argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode
back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously
broken.Cc: David Howells

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie

Invalidate and update backing objects
Check the consistency of a backing object
Allocate storage for backing page
Read backing pages
Write to backing pagesbut still allows:
Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects
Uncaching of pages
Relinquishment of cookiesTwo new operations are provided:
(1) Disable a cookie:
void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool invalidate);If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or
invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any
associated object.This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(),
but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled.All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider
calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page
markings are cleared up.(2) Enable a cookie:
void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool (*can_enable)(void *data),
void *data)If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an
index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects.The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns
a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to
begin.All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be
marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated.A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open()
is then contingent on i_writecount <dhowells@redhat.com

__fscache_relinquish_cookie()).Since the netfs holds the index key, we can't get at it once the ->def
and ->netfs_data pointers have been cleared - and a NULL pointer
exception will ensue, usually just after a:CacheFiles: Error: Unexpected object collision
error is reported.

In cachefiles_check_auxdata(), we allocate auxbuf but fail to free it if
we determine there's an error or that the data is stale.Further, assigning the output of vfs_getxattr() to auxbuf->len gives
problems with checking for errors as auxbuf->len is a u16. We don't
actually need to set auxbuf->len, so keep the length in a variable for
now. We shouldn't need to check the upper limit of the buffer as an
overflow there should be indicated by -ERANGE.While we're at it, fscache_check_aux() returns an enum value, not an
int, so assign it to an appropriately typed variable rather than to ret.Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

Now that the LRU to add a page to is decided at LRU-add time, remove the
misleading lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add. A consequence of this
is that the pagevec_lru_add_file, pagevec_lru_add_anon and similar
helpers are misleading as the caller no longer has direct control over
what LRU the page is added to. Unused helpers are removed by this patch
and existing users of pagevec_lru_add_file() are converted to use
lru_cache_add_file() directly and use the per-cpu pagevecs instead of
creating their own pagevec.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman
