rename on an ecryptfs directory.The issue seems to be that sys_renameat() does lock_rename() then calls
into the filesystem; if the filesystem is ecryptfs, then
ecryptfs_rename() again does lock_rename() on the lower filesystem, and
lockdep can't tell that the two s_vfs_rename_mutexes are different. It
seems an annotation like the following is sufficient to fix this (it
does get rid of the lockdep trace in my simple tests); however I would
like to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the locking, hence the CC
list...Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then
letting it do all the work. But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't
really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the
super. In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's
for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky.
This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt
with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism. So instead of
populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs
freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super. These just take the
super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work. It's basically
just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev. I've then converted freeze_bdev over to
use the new super helpers. I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified
everything continues to work the same as before.The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if
the fs is already frozen. I thought this was a better solution than adding a
freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to
suggestions. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

We used to remove from s_list and s_instances at the same

that have empty s_instances in the loops over s_list.The next step, of course, will be to get rid of rescan logics

Make sure that s_umount is acquired *before* we drop the final
active reference; we still have the fast path (atomic_dec_unless)
and we have gotten rid of the window between the moment when
s_active hits zero and s_umount is acquired. Which simplifies
the living hell out of grab_super() and inotify pin_to_kill()
stuff.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

When CONFIG_BLOCK is set, it ends up getting backing-dev.h included.
But for !CONFIG_BLOCK, it isn't so lucky. The proper thing to do is
include directly from the file it's used from,

noop_backing_dev_info is used only as a flag to mark filesystems that
don't have any backing store, like tmpfs, procfs, spufs, etc.Signed-off-by: Joern Engel
Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes
to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in
them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in
__mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro.
Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption
trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify
their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may
use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories
in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev
via their own mappings.These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev)
and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that
after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should
subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications.So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a
coherency point.The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd
didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via
mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its
buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal"
block devices, including loop.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: repair comment layout]

Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while
parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is
passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call
remount.This is needed to quite a warning that the debugfs code
causes every boot.Cc: Miklos Szeredi

Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we
might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead
grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that
grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem
anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is
get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block
device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and
return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user
visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather
than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long.Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in

SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that
for each n < start n is known to be busy. Allocation can
skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns
n, we can set start to n + 1. Freeing below start sets
start to what we'd just freed.Of course, it still sucks if we do something like
free 0
allocate
allocate
in a loop - still O(n^2) time. However, on saner loads it
improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth
the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case
behaviour.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

* bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
->write_super
* ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
* reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
->write_super
* xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super. Also xfs_fs_write_super

[folded fix from Jiri Slaby]
Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
(due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
touch lock_super() on their own. Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").[folded a build fix from hch]
Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]

We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super()
either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active
reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of
generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can
replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super()
(and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course).Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super()
into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Merge the write_super helper into sync_super and move the check for
->write_super earlier so that we can avoid grabbing a reference to
a superblock that doesn't have it.While we're at it also add a little comment documenting sync_supers.
