Mel Gorman's commit 2457aec63745 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed
during page cache allocation where possible") removed mark_page_accessed()
calls from NTFS without updating the matching find_lock_page() to
find_get_page_flags(GFP_LOCK | FGP_ACCESSED) thus causing the page to
never be marked accessed.This patch fixes that.

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_beginAll of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.async dd

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

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"

It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (86 commits)

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.Acked-by: Serge Hallyn

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super(). We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths. E.g. on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s. rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
"The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
in it."Fix up trivial conflicts due to unrelated changes next to each other in

->delete_inode(), ->write_super_lockfs(), ->unlockfs() are gone so remove
refereces to them in the NTFS code. Remove unnecessary comments about
unimplemented methods while at it (suggested by Christoph Hellwig).Noticed while cleaning up the fsfreeze mess.

Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are
legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that
completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple
of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
