| * fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inodeChristoph Hellwig2010-10-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it. For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed, but that's left for later patches.

One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.) Todo: - there are other users of page migration such as memory policy, memory hotplug and memocy compaction. They are not ready for hugepage support for now. ChangeLog since v4: - define migrate_huge_pages() - remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page() ChangeLog since v2: - refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage - add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page() ChangeLog since v1: - divide migration code path for hugepage - define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb - replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte() Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
* | llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann2010-10-151-0/+1

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

Once it returns we know that no async writeback will be happening; every ->evict_inode() instance should do that once and do that before doing anything ->write_inode() could interfere with (e.g. freeing the on-disk inode).

* remove inode_setattrChristoph Hellwig2010-08-091-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence. In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate so it was left out in the opencoded variant: spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs, which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

* rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig2010-05-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* | hugetlbfs: do not call user_shm_lock() for MAP_HUGETLB fixFrom: Mel Gorman2009-09-241-9/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6bfde05bf5c ("hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs internal mount") altered can_do_hugetlb_shm() to check if a file is being created for shared memory or mmap().

* hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs ↵Eric B Munson2009-09-221-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | internal mount This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without both flags being preset. A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be MAP_ANONYMOUS. To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel. This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs mounted. Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures. This patch: There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages: 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially maps it MAP_SHARED The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

* mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock callHugh Dickins2009-08-241-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy(). In detail: Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock() is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core VM assumes the page size used by the address_space in inode->i_mapping is PAGE_SIZE but hugetlbfs breaks this assumption by inserting pages into the page cache at offsets the core VM considers unexpected. This would not be a problem except that hugetlbfs also provide a ->readpage implementation. As it exists, the core VM can assume the base page size is being used, allocate pages on behalf of the filesystem, insert them into the page cache and call ->readpage to populate them. These pages are the wrong size and at the wrong offset for hugetlbfs causing confusion. This patch deletes the ->readpage implementation for hugetlbfs on the grounds the core VM should not be allocating and populating pages on behalf of hugetlbfs. There should be no existing users of the ->readpage implementation so it should not cause a regression.

* mm: fix SHM_HUGETLB to work with users in hugetlb_shm_groupRavikiran G Thirumalai2009-04-011-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix hugetlb subsystem so that non root users belonging to hugetlb_shm_group can actually allocate hugetlb backed shm. Currently non root users cannot even map one large page using SHM_HUGETLB when they belong to the gid in /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group. This is because allocation size is verified against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limit even if the user belongs to hugetlb_shm_group. This patch 1. Fixes hugetlb subsystem so that users with CAP_IPC_LOCK and users belonging to hugetlb_shm_group don't need to be restricted with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limits 2. This patch also disables mlock based rlimit checking (which will be reinstated and marked deprecated in a subsequent patch).

* Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNTMel Gorman2009-02-101-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve with VM_NORESERVE. Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed. As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs at the risk of getting killed later. With commit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee, VM_NORESERVE and VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

* hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page sizeAndi Kleen2008-07-241-22/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc). The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they are operating on. This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it (default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the hstate. Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

* hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that called ↵Mel Gorman2008-07-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed After patch 2 in this series, a process that successfully calls mmap() for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be guaranteed to successfully fault until a process calls fork(). At that point, the next write fault from the parent could fail due to COW if the child still has a reference. We only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid leaking data from the parent to the child after fork(). Reserves could be taken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if the mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages for the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly after. A failure here would be very undesirable. Note that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is pretty bad. The following situation is allowed to occur today. 1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) 2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds 3. Process forks() 4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists 5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it had taken care to ensure the pages existed This patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the process that successfully calls mmap(). When the parent performs COW, it will try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves. If that fails the parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page. Faults from the child after that point will result in failure. If the child COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page without reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure. To summarise the new behaviour: 1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW'd is unmapped where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in the normal way. 2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted. A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured. 2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If it fails, the child will be killed. If the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that the reserves were a factor. Existing applications depending on the no-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of hugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that point or failing the mmap().

* hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings ↵Mel Gorman2008-07-241-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | until fork() This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is called. The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after this patch are; 1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until it forks(). 2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as might occur when fork()ing to exec(). 3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough huge pages being free in the pool. 4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper and at fault time otherwise. Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

* mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in shmem_sb_infoLee Schermerhorn2008-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the mempolicy mode, mode_flags, and nodemask in the shmem_sb_info struct with a struct mempolicy pointer, initialized to NULL. This removes dependency on the details of mempolicy from shmem.c and hugetlbfs inode.c and simplifies the interfaces. mpol_parse_str() in mempolicy.c is changed to return, via a pointer to a pointer arg, a struct mempolicy pointer on success. For MPOL_DEFAULT, the returned pointer is NULL. Further, mpol_parse_str() now takes a 'no_context' argument that causes the input nodemask to be stored in the w.user_nodemask of the created mempolicy for use when the mempolicy is installed in a tmpfs inode shared policy tree. At that time, any cpuset contextualization is applied to the original input nodemask. This preserves the previous behavior where the input nodemask was stored in the superblock. We can think of the returned mempolicy as "context free". Because mpol_parse_str() is now calling mpol_new(), we can remove from mpol_to_str() the semantic checks that mpol_new() already performs. Add 'no_context' parameter to mpol_to_str() to specify that it should format the nodemask in w.user_nodemask for 'bind' and 'interleave' policies. Change mpol_shared_policy_init() to take a pointer to a "context free" struct mempolicy and to create a new, "contextualized" mempolicy using the mode, mode_flags and user_nodemask from the input mempolicy. Note: we know that the mempolicy passed to mpol_to_str() or mpol_shared_policy_init() from a tmpfs superblock is "context free". This is currently the only instance thereof. However, if we found more uses for this concept, and introduced any ambiguity as to whether a mempolicy was context free or not, we could add another internal mode flag to identify context free mempolicies. Then, we could remove the 'no_context' argument from mpol_to_str(). Added shmem_get_sbmpol() to return a reference counted superblock mempolicy, if one exists, to pass to mpol_shared_policy_init(). We must add the reference under the sb stat_lock to prevent races with replacement of the mpol by remount. This reference is removed in mpol_shared_policy_init().

* mempolicy: support optional mode flagsDavid Rientjes2008-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances. The most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind. Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy' formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall. A new constant, MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be passed as part of this int. Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of their policy are rejected as invalid. An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags: struct mempolicy { ... unsigned short policy; unsigned short flags; } The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls. This is done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct mempolicy. The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain unchanged. The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the user in get_mempolicy(). This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either switch (policy) { case MPOL_BIND: ... case MPOL_INTERLEAVE: ... }; statements or if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) { ... } statements. Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements to stop working. If an application does start using optional mode flags, it will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional statements that only test mode. An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the optional mode flags.

* hugetlb: fix quota management for private mappingsAdam Litke2007-11-151-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but this function does not respect quotas. Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota. This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.

* r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file'sDave Hansen2007-10-171-13/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Why do we need r/o bind mounts? This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of the number of writers to any given mount. This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the tree for several years. It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a file on the r/o mount. This patch: Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code may patch. Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

* Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parametersChristoph Lameter2007-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

* hugetlbfs read() supportBadari Pulavarty2007-10-161-0/+125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for reading from hugetlbfs files. libhugetlbfs lets application text/data to be placed in large pages. When we do that, oprofile doesn't work - since libbfd tries to read from it. This code is very similar to what do_generic_mapping_read() does, but I can't use it since it has PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumptions.

* hugetlb: allow extending ftruncate on hugetlbfsKen Chen2007-10-161-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there is no reason to hold back that limitation. This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial limitation.
