commit dcf7fe9d89763a28e0f43975b422ff141fe79e43 upstream.
Set the page dirty if VM_WRITE is not set because in such case the pte
won't be marked dirty and the page would be reclaimed without writepage
(i.e. swapout in the shmem case).This was found by source review. Most apps (certainly including QEMU)
only use UFFDIO_COPY on PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE mappings or the app can't
modify the memory in the first place. This is for correctness and it
could help the non cooperative use case to avoid unexpected data loss.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126173452.26955-6-aarcange@redhat.com

commit e2a50c1f64145a04959df2442305d57307e5395a upstream.
With MAP_SHARED: recheck the i_size after taking the PT lock, to
serialize against truncate with the PT lock. Delete the page from the
pagecache if the i_size_read check fails.With MAP_PRIVATE: check the i_size after the PT lock before mapping
anonymous memory or zeropages into the MAP_PRIVATE shmem mapping.A mostly irrelevant cleanup: like we do the delete_from_page_cache()
pagecache removal after dropping the PT lock, the PT lock is a spinlock
so drop it before the sleepable page lock.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126173452.26955-5-aarcange@redhat.com

commit 9e368259ad988356c4c95150fafd1a06af095d98 upstream.
Patch series "userfaultfd shmem updates".
Jann found two bugs in the userfaultfd shmem MAP_SHARED backend: the
lack of the VM_MAYWRITE check and the lack of i_size checks.Then looking into the above we also fixed the MAP_PRIVATE case.
Hugh by source review also found a data loss source if UFFDIO_COPY is
used on shmem MAP_SHARED PROT_READ mappings (the production usages
incidentally run with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, so the data loss couldn't
happen in those production usages like with QEMU).The whole patchset is marked for stable.
We verified QEMU postcopy live migration with guest running on shmem
MAP_PRIVATE run as well as before after the fix of shmem MAP_PRIVATE.
Regardless if it's shmem or hugetlbfs or MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED, QEMU
unconditionally invokes a punch hole if the guest mapping is filebacked
and a MADV_DONTNEED too (needed to get rid of the MAP_PRIVATE COWs and
for the anon backend).This patch (of 5):
We internally used EFAULT to communicate with the caller, switch to
ENOENT, so EFAULT can be used as a non internal retval.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126173452.26955-2-aarcange@redhat.com

commit c1cb20d43728aa9b5393bd8d489bc85c142949b2 upstream.
We changed the key of swap cache tree from swp_entry_t.val to
swp_offset. We need to do so in shmem_replace_page() as well.Hugh said:
"shmem_replace_page() has been wrong since the day I wrote it: good
enough to work on swap "type" 0, which is all most people ever use
(especially those few who need shmem_replace_page() at all), but
broken once there are any non-0 swp_type bits set in the higher order
bits"Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181121215442.138545-1-yuzhao@google.com

commit aaa52e340073b7f4593b3c4ddafcafa70cf838b5 upstream.
Huge tmpfs testing on a shortish file mapped into a pmd-rounded extent
hit shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) followed by
clear_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_data.nrpages) when the file was later
closed and unlinked.khugepaged's collapse_shmem() was forgetting to update mapping->nrpages
on the rollback path, after it had added but then needs to undo some
holes.There is indeed an irritating asymmetry between shmem_charge(), whose
callers want it to increment nrpages after successfully accounting
blocks, and shmem_uncharge(), when __delete_from_page_cache() already
decremented nrpages itself: oh well, just add a comment on that to them
both.And shmem_recalc_inode() is supposed to be called when the accounting is
expected to be in balance (so it can deduce from imbalance that reclaim
discarded some pages): so change shmem_charge() to update nrpages
earlier (though it's rare for the difference to matter at all).Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1811261523450.2275@eggly.anvils

commit b45d71fb89ab8adfe727b9d0ee188ed58582a647 upstream.
Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep
class. For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives
in lockdep. Annotate correctly after new inode creation. If its a
directory inode, it will be put into a different class.This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:

commit b3cd54b257ad95d344d121dc563d943ca39b0921 upstream.
shmem_unused_huge_shrink() gets called from reclaim path. Waiting for
page lock may lead to deadlock there.There was a bug report that may be attributed to this:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.11.1801242349220.30642@mail.ewheeler.net
Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it. We will get to the page on the next scan.We can test for the PageTransHuge() outside the page lock as we only
need protection against splitting the page under us. Holding pin oni
the page is enough for this.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180316210830.43738-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170118054945.GD18349@bombadil.infradead.org

The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.The test and result is as follow,

background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,Base Optimized

This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.comThe Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model. This
new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory. One
straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create. They can
use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory.The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages. If this
option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection
model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory. Using hugetlbfs,
it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths
in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings. However,
this introduces additional system admin work and coordination.Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit
mounting of a filesystem. Today, mmap and shmget can make use of
hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem. The patch adds this
functionality to memfd_create.Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file
to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic
hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. As
with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is
the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments.hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of
functionality moves forward.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1502149672-7759-2-git-send-email-mike.kravetz@oracle.com

Patch series "userfaultfd: enable zeropage support for shmem".
These patches enable support for UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for shared memory.
The first two patches are not strictly related to userfaultfd, they are
just minor refactoring to reduce amount of code duplication.This patch (of 7):
Currently we update inode and shmem_inode_info before verifying that
used_blocks will not exceed max_blocks. In case it will, we undo the
update. Let's switch the order and move the verification of the blocks
count before the inode and shmem_inode_info update.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1497939652-16528-2-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com

to allocate huge pages when allocate pages for private in-kernel shmem
mount.Unfortunately, as Dan noticed, I've screwed it up and the only way to
make kernel allocate huge page for the mount is to use "force" there.
All other values will be effectively ignored.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170822144254.66431-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com

global sbinfo->shrinklist to its local lists and then releases the
spinlock. However, a parallel shmem_setattr() could access one of these
entries directly and add it back to the global shrinklist if it is
removed, with the spinlock held.The logic itself looks solid since an entry could be either in a local
list or the global list, otherwise it is removed from one of them by
list_del_init(). So probably the race condition is that, one CPU is in
the middle of INIT_LIST_HEAD() but the other CPU calls list_empty()
which returns true too early then the following list_add_tail() sees a
corrupted entry.list_empty_careful() is designed to fix this situation.

PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic. It doesn't affect any
existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a
template for new mappings.The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag set. This can be quite surprising for all those applications which
do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP
behavior.Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful
is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with
CRIU. In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data
that was saved during the pre-copy stage. Afterwards, the region is
registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the
parts of the region that were not yet populated. However, khugepaged
collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur.In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a
temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide.Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added. This flag is
tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during
page fault of at the time of THP collapse.It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE
master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case
previously.Fixes: a0715cc22601 ("mm, thp: add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK and PRCTL_THP_DISABLE")

Track the following reclaim counters for every memory cgroup: PGREFILL,
PGSCAN, PGSTEAL, PGACTIVATE, PGDEACTIVATE, PGLAZYFREE and PGLAZYFREED.These values are exposed using the memory.stats interface of cgroup v2.
The meaning of each value is the same as for global counters, available
using /proc/vmstat.Also, for consistency, rename mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() to
count_memcg_event_mm().Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1494530183-30808-1-git-send-email-guro@fb.com

Now, get_swap_page takes struct page and allocates swap space according
to page size(ie, normal or THP) so it would be more cleaner to introduce
put_swap_page which is a counter function of get_swap_page. Then, it
calls right swap slot free function depending on page's size.[ying.huang@intel.com: minor cleanup and fix]

Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.[ying.huang@intel.com: fix two issues in THP optimize patch]

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entryFor example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {Cc: Linus Torvalds

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.Cc: Linus Torvalds

Pull vfs 'statx()' update from Al Viro.
This adds the new extended stat() interface that internally subsumes our
previous stat interfaces, and allows user mode to specify in more detail
what kind of information it wants.It also allows for some explicit synchronization information to be
passed to the filesystem, which can be relevant for network filesystems:
is the cached value ok, or do you need open/close consistency, or what?From David Howells.
Andreas Dilger points out that the first version of the extended statx
interface was posted June 29, 2010:https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg33831.html

statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available
03 Mar, 2017
1 commit
-
Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.========
OVERVIEW
========The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.
(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).And the following have been left out for future extension:
(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].
(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].(Deferred to fsinfo).
(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].(Deferred to fsinfo).
(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].
(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.
===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============The new system call is:
int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute

that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fsWithin the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:
KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS
[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]New flags include:
STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger
These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:
(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.
These are local system information and are always available.
(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.(2) stx_rdev_*.
This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.(3) stx_btime.
Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.
=======
TESTING
=======The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:
samples/statx/test-statx.c
Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.[root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx -A /warthog/data

Running my likely/unlikely profiler, I discovered that the test in
shmem_write_begin() that tests for info->seals as unlikely, is always
incorrect. This is because shmem_get_inode() sets info->seals to have
F_SEAL_SEAL set by default, and it is unlikely to be cleared when
shmem_write_begin() is called. Thus, the if statement is very likely.But as the if statement block only cares about F_SEAL_WRITE and
F_SEAL_GROW, change the test to only test those two bits.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170203105656.7aec6237@gandalf.local.home

Use the non atomic version of __SetPageUptodate while the page is still
private and not visible to lookup operations. Using the non atomic
version after the page is already visible to lookups is unsafe as there
would be concurrent lock_page operation modifying the page->flags while
it runs.This solves a lockup in find_lock_entry with the userfaultfd_shmem

Currently userfault relies on vma_is_anonymous and vma_is_hugetlb to
ensure compatibility of a VMA with userfault. Introduction of
vma_is_shmem allows detection if tmpfs backed VMAs, so that they may be
used with userfaultfd. Current implementation presumes usage of
vma_is_shmem only by slow path routines in userfaultfd, therefore the
vma_is_shmem is not made inline to leave the few remaining free bits in
vm_flags.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161216144821.5183-30-aarcange@redhat.com

Callers of shmem_mapping() are interested in whether the mapping is swap
backed - except for uprobes, which is interested in whether it should
use shmem_read_mapping_page(). All these callers are better served by a
shmem_mapping() which checks for shmem_aops, than the current version
which goes through several indirections to find where the inode lives -
and has the surprising effect that a private mmap of /dev/zero satisfies
both vma_is_anonymous() and shmem_mapping(), when that device node is on
devtmpfs. I don't think anything in the tree suffers from that
surprise, but it caught me out, and is better fixed.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1612052148530.13021@eggly.anvils
