* fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details and inode mode bits.Aneesh Kumar K.V2011-07-236-29/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This make sure we don't use wrong inode from the inode hash. The inode number of the file deleted is reused by the next file system object created and if we only use inode number for inode hash lookup we could end up with wrong struct inode. Also compare inode generation number. Not all Linux file system provide st_gen in userspace. So it could be 0; Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sbi->s_mutex isn't needed for isofs at all so we can just remove it. Generally, since isofs is always mounted read-only, filesystem structure cannot change under us. So buffer_head contents stays constant after it's filled in. That leaves us with possible changes of global data structures. Superblock changes only during filesystem mount (even remount does not change it), inodes are only filled in during reading from disk. So there are no changes of these structures to bother about. Arguments why sbi->s_mutex can be removed at each place: isofs_readdir: Accesses sb, inode, filp, local variables => s_mutex not needed isofs_lookup: Protected by directory's i_mutex. Accesses sb, inode, dentry, local variables => s_mutex not needed rock_ridge_symlink_readpage: Protected by page lock. Accesses sb, inode, local variables => s_mutex not needed.

Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. In some cases we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done. For example in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself that is all we have to do.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA we need to implement our own llseek. Basically for the normal SEEK_*'s we will just defer to the generic helper, and for SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA we will use our fiemap helper to figure out the nearest hole or data. Currently this helper doesn't check for delalloc bytes for prealloc space, so for now treat prealloc as data until that is fixed.

| * fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik2011-07-211-3/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For filesystems that delay their end_io processing we should keep our i_dio_count until the the processing is done. Enable this by moving the inode_dio_done call to the end_io handler if one exist. Note that the actual move to the workqueue for ext4 and XFS is not done in this patch yet, but left to the filesystem maintainers. At least for XFS it's not needed yet either as XFS has an internal equivalent to i_dio_count. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device argument, and never need a end_io handler. Let's simply things for them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments. The only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large difference anyway.

This these filesystems to also protect truncate against direct I/O requests by using common code. Right now the only non-DIO_LOCKING filesystem that appears to do so is XFS, which uses an opencoded variant of the i_dio_count scheme. Behaviour doesn't change for filesystems never calling inode_dio_wait. For ext4 behaviour changes when using the dioread_nonlock option, which previously was missing any protection between truncate and direct I/O reads. For ocfs2 that handcrafted i_dio_count manipulations are replaced with the common code now enable. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

This removes the need of using i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate which seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in mm/rmap.c. Also calling ext4_da_write_begin() as used by the old code seems to be problematic because we can decide to flush delay-allocated blocks which will acquire s_umount semaphore - again creating unpleasant lock dependency if not directly a deadlock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the inode reclaim shrinker to use the new per-sb shrinker operations. This allows much bigger reclaim batches to be used, and allows the XFS inode cache to be shrunk in proportion with the VFS dentry and inode caches.

Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added.

| * superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker infrastructureDave Chinner2011-07-213-218/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With context based shrinkers, we can implement a per-superblock shrinker that shrinks the caches attached to the superblock. We currently have global shrinkers for the inode and dentry caches that split up into per-superblock operations via a coarse proportioning method that does not batch very well. The global shrinkers also have a dependency - dentries pin inodes - so we have to be very careful about how we register the global shrinkers so that the implicit call order is always correct. With a per-sb shrinker callout, we can encode this dependency directly into the per-sb shrinker, hence avoiding the need for strictly ordering shrinker registrations. We also have no need for any proportioning code for the shrinker subsystem already provides this functionality across all shrinkers. Allowing the shrinker to operate on a single superblock at a time means that we do less superblock list traversals and locking and reclaim should batch more effectively. This should result in less CPU overhead for reclaim and potentially faster reclaim of items from each filesystem.

Both need to take a passive reference to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only continue if an unmount is not in progress. pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

| * inode: move to per-sb LRU locksDave Chinner2011-07-202-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the inode LRUs moving to per-sb structures, there is no longer a need for a global inode_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other.

| * inode: Make unused inode LRU per superblockDave Chinner2011-07-202-11/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode unused list is currently a global LRU. This does not match the other global filesystem cache - the dentry cache - which uses per-superblock LRU lists. Hence we have related filesystem object types using different LRU reclaimation schemes. To enable a per-superblock filesystem cache shrinker, both of these caches need to have per-sb unused object LRU lists. Hence this patch converts the global inode LRU to per-sb LRUs. The patch only does rudimentary per-sb propotioning in the shrinker infrastructure, as this gets removed when the per-sb shrinker callouts are introduced later on.

| * inode: convert inode_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu countersDave Chinner2011-07-201-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before we split up the inode_lru_lock, the unused inode counter needs to be made independent of the global inode_lru_lock. Convert it to per-cpu counters to do this. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
