2010-06-16cifs: don't call cifs_new_fileinfo unless cifs_open succeedsJeff Layton
It's currently possible for cifs_open to fail after it has already called cifs_new_fileinfo. In that situation, the new fileinfo will be leaked as the caller doesn't call fput. That in turn leads to a busy inodes after umount problem since the fileinfo holds an extra inode reference now. Shuffle cifs_open around a bit so that it only calls cifs_new_fileinfo if it's going to succeed.

2010-06-16cifs: pass instantiated filp back after open callJeff Layton
The current scheme of sticking open files on a list and assuming that cifs_open will scoop them off of it is broken and leads to "Busy inodes after umount..." errors at unmount time. The problem is that there is no guarantee that cifs_open will always be called after a ->lookup or ->create operation. If there are permissions or other problems, then it's quite likely that it *won't* be called. Fix this by fully instantiating the filp whenever the file is created and pass that filp back to the VFS. If there is a problem, the VFS can clean up the references. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-and-Tested-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de>
2010-06-16cifs: move cifs_new_fileinfo call out of cifs_posix_openJeff Layton
Having cifs_posix_open call cifs_new_fileinfo is problematic and inconsistent with how "regular" opens work. It's also buggy as cifs_reopen_file calls this function on a reconnect, which creates a new struct cifsFileInfo that just gets leaked. Push it out into the callers. This also allows us to get rid of the "mnt" arg to cifs_posix_open. Finally, in the event that a cifsFileInfo isn't or can't be created, we always want to close the filehandle out on the server as the client won't have a record of the filehandle and can't actually use it. Make sure that CIFSSMBClose is called in those cases. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-and-Tested-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de>

Commit 315e995c63a15cb4d4efdbfd70fe2db191917f7a is causing OOM kills when stress-testing a CIFS filesystem. The VFS readpages operation takes a page reference. The older code just handed this reference off to the page cache, but the new code takes an extra one. The simplest fix is to put the new reference after add_to_page_cache_lru.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

cifs_revalidate is renamed to cifs_revalidate_dentry as a later patch will add a by-filehandle variant. Add a new "invalid_mapping" flag to the cifsInodeInfo that indicates that the pagecache is considered invalid. Add a new routine to check inode attributes whenever they're updated and set that flag if the inode has changed on the server. cifs_revalidate_dentry is then changed to just update the attrcache if needed and then to zap the pagecache if it's not valid. There are some other behavior changes in here as well. Open files are now allowed to have their caches invalidated. I see no reason why we'd want to keep stale data around just because a file is open. Also, cifs_revalidate_cache uses the server_eof for revalidating the file size since that should more closely match the size of the file on the server.

2009-12-10vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semanticsChristoph Hellwig
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

2009-09-24cifs: convert oplock breaks to use slow_work facility (try #4)Jeff Layton
This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to use the slow_work facility. A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed. This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one already). Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and handling these structs. Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to the slow_work thread pool. This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are today.

It ignores this value however and declares an "oplock" parameter on the stack that it passes uninitialized to the CIFSPOSIXOpen function. Not only does this mean that the oplock request flags are bogus, but the result that's expected to be in that variable is unchanged. Fix this, and also clean up the type of the oplock parameter used.

2009-06-25cifs: Fix incorrect return code being printed in cFYI messagesSuresh Jayaraman
FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being printed when cifsFYI is enabled. This could be misleading in few cases. For eg. In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid(). Basically convert FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR; return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid); return rc; [Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems like a good longer term goal, but although there is an alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet available that I know of that we can use (yet) to convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for creating an identifier that we can use to correlate all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation (ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id is harder). Eventually when a replacement for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people use this run time configurable logging all the time for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem which made it harder to notice some low memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile to fix this problem until a better logging approach is able to be used] Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2009-03-12[CIFS] Add new nostrictsync cifs mount option to avoid slow SMB flushSteve French
If this mount option is set, when an application does an fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the server to respond to the write write. Since SMB Flush can be very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server), turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server crash. If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will send an SMB flush request (and wait for a response) on every fsync call. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

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).

2008-12-26[CIFS] add mount option to send mandatory rather than advisory locksSteve French
Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks (as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style) byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which they have locked and are updating). This mount option allows mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or "forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support posix byte range lock requests. This has no effect if the server does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications that require mandatory byte range locks.

2008-11-26[CIFS] fix regression in cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_endJeff Layton
The conversion to write_begin/write_end interfaces had a bug where we were passing a bad parameter to cifs_readpage_worker. Rather than passing the page offset of the start of the write, we needed to pass the offset of the beginning of the page. This was reliably showing up as data corruption in the fsx-linux test from LTP. It also became evident that this code was occasionally doing unnecessary read calls. Optimize those away by using the PG_checked flag to indicate that the unwritten part of the page has been initialized.

2008-11-20[CIFS] Do not attempt to close invalidated file handlesSteve French
If a connection with open file handles has gone down and come back up and reconnected without reopening the file handle yet, do not attempt to send an SMB close request for this handle in cifs_close. We were checking for the connection being invalid in cifs_close but since the connection may have been reconnected we also need to check whether the file handle was marked invalid (otherwise we could close the wrong file handle by accident).

2008-11-18prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pagesDave Kleikamp
Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed. In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages() asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time. Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling pagevec_lookup_tag() again. If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about to be closed. This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so that none get skipped.

2008-11-13[CIFS] Fix cifs reconnection flagsSteve French
In preparation for Jeff's big umount/mount fixes to remove the possibility of various races in cifs mount and linked list handling of sessions, sockets and tree connections, this patch cleans up some repetitive code in cifs_mount, and addresses a problem with ses->status and tcon->tidStatus in which we were overloading the "need_reconnect" state with other status in that field. So the "need_reconnect" flag has been broken out from those two state fields (need reconnect was not mutually exclusive from some of the other possible tid and ses states). In addition, a few exit cases in cifs_mount were cleaned up, and a problem with a tcon flag (for lease support) was not being set consistently for the 2nd mount of the same share CC: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> CC: Shirish Pargaonkar <shirishp@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
