Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault(). After this
removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and
dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers.The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to
capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults
(calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime
and ctime).However, the following commits:
5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults")
ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching")added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common
operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called.
This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to
be used in the future.XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and
ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by:6b698edeeef0 ("xfs: add DAX file operations support")

Currently ext4 treats DAX IO the same way as direct IO. I.e., it
allocates unwritten extents before IO is done and converts unwritten
extents afterwards. However this way DAX IO can race with page fault to
the same area:ext4_ext_direct_IO() dax_fault()
dax_io()
get_block() - allocates unwritten extent
copy_from_iter_pmem()
get_block() - converts
unwritten block to
written and zeroes it
out
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents()So data written with DAX IO gets lost. Similarly dax_new_buf() called
from dax_io() can overwrite data that has been already written to the
block via mmap.Fix the problem by using pre-zeroed blocks for DAX IO the same way as we
use them for DAX mmap. The downside of this solution is that every
allocating write writes each block twice (once zeros, once data). Fixing
the race with locking is possible as well however we would need to
lock-out faults for the whole range written to by DAX IO. And that is
not easy to do without locking-out faults for the whole file which seems
too aggressive.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

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

Using SEEK_DATA in a huge sparse file can easily lead to sotflockups as

Currently we've used hashed aio_mutex to serialize unaligned AIO DIO.
However the code cleanups that happened after 2011 when the lock was
introduced made aio_mutex acquired at almost the same places where we
already have exclusion using i_mutex. So just use i_mutex for the
exclusion of unaligned AIO DIO.The change moves waiting for pending unwritten extent conversion under
i_mutex. That makes special handling of O_APPEND writes unnecessary and
also avoids possible livelocking of unaligned AIO DIO with aligned one
(nothing was preventing contiguous stream of aligned AIO DIOs to let
unaligned AIO DIO wait forever).Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

As it is currently written ext4_dax_mkwrite() assumes that the call into
__dax_mkwrite() will not have to do a block allocation so it doesn't create
a journal entry. For a read that creates a zero page to cover a hole
followed by a write that actually allocates storage this is incorrect. The
ext4_dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_fault() path calls
get_blocks() to allocate storage.Fix this by having the ->page_mkwrite fault handler call ext4_dax_fault()
as this function already has all the logic needed to allocate a journal
entry and call __dax_fault().Also update the ext2 fault handlers in this same way to remove duplicate
code and keep the logic between ext2 and ext4 the same.Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

Make DAX fault path use pre-zeroed blocks to avoid races with extent
conversion and zeroing when two page faults to the same block happen.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o -
Currently, page faults and hole punching are completely unsynchronized.
This can result in page fault faulting in a page into a range that we
are punching after truncate_pagecache_range() has been called and thus
we can end up with a page mapped to disk blocks that will be shortly
freed. Filesystem corruption will shortly follow. Note that the same
race is avoided for truncate by checking page fault offset against
i_size but there isn't similar mechanism available for punching holes.Fix the problem by creating new rw semaphore i_mmap_sem in inode and
grab it for writing over truncate, hole punching, and other functions
removing blocks from extent tree and for read over page faults. We
cannot easily use i_data_sem for this since that ranks below transaction
start and we need something ranking above it so that it can be held over
the whole truncate / hole punching operation. Also remove various
workarounds we had in the code to reduce race window when page fault
could have created pages with stale mapping information.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Jan Kara pointed out that in the case where we are writing to a hole, we
can end up with a lock inversion between the page lock and the journal
lock. We can avoid this by starting the transaction in ext4 before
calling into DAX. The journal lock nests inside the superblock
pagefault lock, so we have to duplicate that code from dax_fault, like
XFS does.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

dax_fault() currently relies on the get_block callback to attach an
io completion callback to the mapping buffer head so that it can
run unwritten extent conversion after zeroing allocated blocks.Instead of this hack, pass the conversion callback directly into
dax_fault() similar to the get_block callback. When the filesystem
allocates unwritten extents, it will set the buffer_unwritten()
flag, and hence the dax_fault code can call the completion function
in the contexts where it is necessary without overloading the
mapping buffer head.Note: The changes to ext4 to use this interface are suspect at best.
In fact, the way ext4 did this end_io assignment in the first place
looks suspect because it only set a completion callback when there
wasn't already some other write() call taking place on the same
inode. The ext4 end_io code looks rather intricate and fragile with
all it's reference counting and passing to different contexts for
modification via inode private pointers that aren't protected by
locks...Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things:
1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated
data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node.
This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not
using encryption.2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode
encryption structure instead. This remove an unnecessary memory
allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us
to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file
creations.3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info
structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the
extended attributes.4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure
instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the
per-inode key. This allows us to test to see if the key has been
revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free
it.5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we
will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not
left hanging around in memory. This implies that when a user logs
out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it,
and then finally, to use "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to
release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system
caches.6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around
100. :-)Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o
