* docs: fs: convert porting to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-311-686/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while, the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on different ways. As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences, I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review. Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html output after being parsed.

On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed. So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it. We only really need it for dentries that are created by d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart - just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do *not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only such user right now. FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias() elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server. It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously convoluted.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for doing just that, with saner signature.

Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility, require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair would have no use whatsoever... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We discovered many issues with these interfaces late in the 4.19 cycle - the worst of them (data corruption, setuid stripping) were fixed for XFS in 4.19-rc8, but a larger rework of the infrastructure fixing all the problems was needed. That rework is the contents of this pull request. Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range infrastructure to use a common .remap_file_range method and supply generic bounds and sanity checking functions that are shared with the data write path. The current VFS infrastructure has problems with rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps, maximum filesystem file sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are addressed in these commits. We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to return short clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get rejected if the entire range can't be cloned. It also allows filesystems to sliently skip deduplication of partial EOF blocks if they are not capable of doing so without requiring errors to be thrown to userspace. Existing filesystems are converted to user the new remap_file_range method, and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new generic checking infrastructure" * tag 'xfs-4.20-merge-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux: (28 commits) xfs: remove [cm]time update from reflink calls xfs: remove xfs_reflink_remap_range xfs: remove redundant remap partial EOF block checks xfs: support returning partial reflink results xfs: clean up xfs_reflink_remap_blocks call site xfs: fix pagecache truncation prior to reflink ocfs2: remove ocfs2_reflink_remap_range ocfs2: support partial clone range and dedupe range ocfs2: fix pagecache truncation prior to reflink ocfs2: truncate page cache for clone destination file before remapping vfs: clean up generic_remap_file_range_prep return value vfs: hide file range comparison function vfs: enable remap callers that can handle short operations vfs: plumb remap flags through the vfs dedupe functions vfs: plumb remap flags through the vfs clone functions vfs: make remap_file_range functions take and return bytes completed vfs: remap helper should update destination inode metadata vfs: pass remap flags to generic_remap_checks vfs: pass remap flags to generic_remap_file_range_prep vfs: combine the clone and dedupe into a single remap_file_range ...

* VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flagsDavid Howells2017-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Differentiate the MS_* flags passed to mount(2) from the internal flags set in the super_block's s_flags. s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to. In this patch, just the headers are altered and some kernel code where blind automated conversion isn't necessarily correct. Note that this shows up some interesting issues: (1) Some MS_* flags get translated to MNT_* flags (such as MS_NODEV -> MNT_NODEV) without passing this on to the filesystem, but some filesystems set such flags anyway. (2) The ->remount_fs() methods of some filesystems adjust the *flags argument by setting MS_* flags in it, such as MS_NOATIME - but these flags are then scrubbed by do_remount_sb() (only the occupants of MS_RMT_MASK are permitted: MS_RDONLY, MS_SYNCHRONOUS, MS_MANDLOCK, MS_I_VERSION and MS_LAZYTIME) I'm not sure what's the best way to solve all these cases.

* parallel lookups machinery, part 2Al Viro2016-05-031-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set. One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly. So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story. We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but... Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even. This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be added in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We can use RCU instead of the spinlock. __fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress. The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting, and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched()) resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources. rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run from process context.

* mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner2014-04-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* fs: remove vfs_follow_linkChristoph Hellwig2013-09-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time no filesystem has been using vfs_follow_link, and as seen by recent filesystem submissions any new use is accidental as well. Remove vfs_follow_link, document the replacement in Documentation/filesystems/porting and also rename __vfs_follow_link to match its only caller better.

| | | | | | | | | | | iterate_dir(): new helper, replacing vfs_readdir(). struct dir_context: contains the readdir callback (and will get more stuff in it), embedded into whatever data that callback wants to deal with; eventually, we'll be passing it to ->readdir() replacement instead of (data,filldir) pair.

* vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry opJeff Layton2013-02-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.
