| * add a vfs_fsync helperChristoph Hellwig2009-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call, and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this. It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there. Notes on the fsync callers: - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the lower file - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op simple_sync_file directly. [and now actually export vfs_fsync] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
| * inode->i_op is never NULLAl Viro2009-01-052-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on such inodes anyway. After killing two remaining places that still did that bogosity, all that crap can go away. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* | fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin2009-01-041-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

Likewise, if a slab cache is not mergeable and the sysfs link cannot be added, the new cache shall be removed from the slab_caches list. kmem_cache_create() will return NULL, so it will be impossible to call kmem_cache_destroy() on it. Both of these operations require slub_lock since refcount of all slab caches and slab_caches are protected by the lock. In the mergeable case, it would be better to restore objsize and offset back to their original values, but this could race with another merge since slub_lock was dropped.

Unfortunately, that ends up clearing __GFP_NOWARN and __GFP_NORETRY as well which is not what we want. As the only caller of alloc_slabmgmt() already clears GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK before passing local_flags to it, we can just remove the clearing of GFP_THISNODE.

Drivers use mmap followed by pgprot_* and remap_pfn_range or vm_insert_pfn, in order to export reserved memory to userspace. Currently, such mappings are not tracked and hence not kept consistent with other mappings (/dev/mem, pci resource, ioremap) for the sme memory, that may exist in the system. The following patchset adds x86 PAT attribute tracking and untracking for pfnmap related APIs. First three patches in the patchset are changing the generic mm code to fit in this tracking. Last four patches are x86 specific to make things work with x86 PAT code. The patchset aso introduces pgprot_writecombine interface, which gives writecombine mapping when enabled, falling back to pgprot_noncached otherwise. This patch: While working on x86 PAT, we faced some hurdles with trackking remap_pfn_range() regions, as we do not have any information to say whether that PFNMAP mapping is linear for the entire vma range or it is smaller granularity regions within the vma. A simple solution to this is to use vm_pgoff as an indicator for linear mapping over the vma region. Currently, remap_pfn_range only sets vm_pgoff for COW mappings. Below patch changes the logic and sets the vm_pgoff irrespective of COW. This will still not be enough for the case where pfn is zero (vma region mapped to physical address zero). But, for all the other cases, we can look at pfnmap VMAs and say whether the mappng is for the entire vma region or not.
