Pull mount flag updates from Al Viro:
"Another chunk of fmount preparations from dhowells; only trivial
conflicts for that part. It separates MS_... bits (very grotty
mount(2) ABI) from the struct super_block ->s_flags (kernel-internal,
only a small subset of MS_... stuff).This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the
infrastructure is done here. The next step in that series is where the

Before this patch, if GFS2 encountered IO errors while writing to
the journal, it would not report the problem, so they would go
unnoticed, sometimes for many hours. Sometimes this would only be
noticed later, when recovery tried to do journal replay and failed
due to invalid metadata at the blocks that resulted in IO errors.This patch makes GFS2's log daemon check for IO errors. If it
encounters one, it withdraws from the file system and reports
why in dmesg. A similar action is taken when IO errors occur when
writing to the system statfs file.These errors are also reported back to any callers of fsync, since
that requires the journal to be flushed. Therefore, any IO errors
that would previously go unnoticed are now noticed and the file
system is withdrawn as early as possible, thus preventing further
file system damage.Also note that this reintroduces superblock variable sd_log_error,
which Christoph removed with commit f729b66fca.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

When under memory pressure and an inode's link count has dropped to
zero, defer deleting the inode to the delete workqueue. This avoids
calling into DLM under memory pressure, which can deadlock.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher
Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson -
gfs2_evict_inode is called to free inodes under memory pressure. The
function calls into DLM when an inode's last cluster-wide reference goes
away (remote unlink) and to release the glock and associated DLM lock
before finally destroying the inode. However, if DLM is blocked on
memory to become available, calling into DLM again will deadlock.Avoid that by decoupling releasing glocks from destroying inodes in that
case: with gfs2_glock_queue_put, glocks will be dequeued asynchronously
in work queue context, when the associated inodes have likely already
been destroyed.With this change, inodes can end up being unlinked, remote-unlink can be
triggered, and then the inode can be reallocated before all
remote-unlink callbacks are processed. To detect that, revalidate the
link count in gfs2_evict_inode to make sure we're not deleting an
allocated, referenced inode.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

This patch adds some calls to clear gl_object in function
gfs2_delete_inode. Since we are deleting the inode, and the glock
typically outlives the inode in core, we must clear gl_object
so subsequent use of the glock (e.g. for a new inode in its place)
will not have the old pointer sitting there. In error cases we
need to tidy up after ourselves. In non-error cases, we need to
clear gl_object before we set the block free in the bitmap so
residules aren't left for potential inode creators.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson -
So far, gfs2_evict_inode clears gl->gl_object and then flushes the glock
work queue to make sure that inode glops which dereference gl->gl_object
have finished running before the inode is destroyed. However, flushing
the work queue may do more work than needed, and in particular, it may
call into DLM, which we want to avoid here. Use a bit lock
(GIF_GLOP_PENDING) to synchronize between the inode glops and
gfs2_evict_inode instead to get rid of the flushing.In addition, flush the work queues of existing glocks before reusing
them for new inodes to get those glocks into a known state: the glock
state engine currently doesn't handle glock re-appropriation correctly.
(We may be able to fix the glock state engine instead later.)Based on a patch by Steven Whitehouse .

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

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

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

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g. new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files. This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else. This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink). Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:$ BASE="ovl"
$ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
$ LOW="$BASE/lower"
$ UP="$BASE/upper"
$ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0

none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
$ fusermount -u /proc
$ cat /proc/mounts
cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directoryThis fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed. Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add lost chunk, per Kees]

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
instead of @bdi.* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...) -> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...) -> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...) -> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)

bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...) -> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
respectively. Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
introducing no behavior changes.v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze. This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state. The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system. To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"One of the main highlights this time, is not the patches themselves
but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
contributors to this patch set.In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and clean ups, there are
patches to improve inode creation performance when xattrs are required
and some improvements to the transaction code which is intended to
help improve scalability after further changes in due course.Journal extent mapping is also updated to make it more efficient and
again, this is a foundation for future work in this area.The maximum number of ACLs has been increased to 300 (for a 4k block
size) which means that even with a few additional xattrs from selinux,
everything should fit within a single fs block.There is also a patch to bring GFS2's own copy of the writepages code
up to the same level as the core VFS. Eventually we may be able to
merge some of this code, since it is fairly similar.The other major change this time, is bringing consistency to the
printing of messages via fs_, pr_ macros"* tag 'gfs2-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-3.0-nmw: (29 commits)

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner

When gfs2_create_inode() fails due to quota violation, the VFS
inode is not completely uninitialized. This can cause a list
corruption error.This patch correctly uninitializes the VFS inode when a quota
violation occurs in the gfs2_create_inode codepath.Resolves: rhbz#1059808

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"
