2008-04-25Export __locks_copy_lock() so modular lockd buildsRoland Dreier
Commit 1a747ee0 ("locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks") changed fs/lockd/svclock.c to call __locks_copy_lock() instead of locks_copy_lock(), but lockd can be built as a module and __locks_copy_lock() is not exported, which causes a build error ERROR: "__locks_copy_lock" [fs/lockd/lockd.ko] undefined! with CONFIG_LOCKD=m. Fix this by exporting __locks_copy_lock(). Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-25locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locksJ. Bruce Fields
The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock. The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when copying to it. This also saves the need for an unnecessary locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server. Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error. Signed-off-by: J.

2008-04-25leases: move lock allocation earlier in generic_setlease()David M. Richter
In generic_setlease(), the struct file_lock is allocated after tests for the presence of conflicting readers/writers is done, despite the fact that the allocation might block; this patch moves the allocation earlier. A subsequent set of patches will rely on this behavior to properly serialize between a modified __break_lease() and generic_setlease(). Signed-off-by: David M.

2008-04-14locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields
Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

2008-02-03file locks: Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout()Matthew Wilcox
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called. locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually simpler to inline it into its caller.

For such a short function (with such a long comment), posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to make it a bit clearer: - Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and caller_fl conflict) - Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto. - Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and removing some uninteresting historical detail.

2007-10-30locks: fix possible infinite loop in posix deadlock detectionJ. Bruce Fields
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite loop (under the BKL). For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

On the other hand, files that show objects from lists can be easily reimplemented using the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX() helpers.

2007-10-09Cleanup macros for distinguishing mandatory locksPavel Emelyanov
The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called MANDATORY_LOCK(inode). However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform the explicit i_mode checking. Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice. Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it, making the code shorter and more readable. The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK() for superblock is already known to be true.

2007-10-09Memory shortage can result in inconsistent flocks statePavel Emelyanov
When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock can be removed without appropriate warning. Look: for_each_lock(inode, before) { struct file_lock *fl = *before; if (IS_POSIX(fl)) break; if (IS_LEASE(fl)) continue; if (filp != fl->fl_file) continue; if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type) goto out; found = 1; locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< ! break; } if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock is already removed. This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic, but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked. The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance to fail in the future code. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware.

2007-10-09locks: reverse order of posix_locks_conflict() argumentsJ. Bruce Fields
The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request, and the second a lock from an inode's lock request. It doesn't really make a difference which order you call them in, since the only asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for some reason. But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict() with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-09-11Leases can be hidden by flocksPavel Emelyanov
The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases.

2007-07-18locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventionsJ. Bruce Fields

So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to setlease.

2007-05-10locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)J. Bruce Fields
In 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c we changed posix_test_lock to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input and output arguments. This makes it no longer safe to set the output lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK. This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do its own locking). Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type. This isn't strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems less likely to cause confusion in the future.

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches.

2007-05-06locks: add fl_grant callback for asynchronous lock returnMarc Eshel
Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously. When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return -EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct. This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock is granted, and the caller retries the original lock. So while fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the lock already acquired in the succesful case). Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a conflicting lock. We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

2007-05-06locks: add lock cancel commandMarc Eshel
Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's happening too. We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from an asynchronous locking api.

2007-05-06locks: allow {vfs,posix}_lock_file to return conflicting lockMarc Eshel
The nfsv4 protocol's lock operation, in the case of a conflict, returns information about the conflicting lock. It's unclear how clients can use this, so for now we're not going so far as to add a filesystem method that can return a conflicting lock, but we may as well return something in the local case when it's easy to.

2007-05-06locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock codeMarc Eshel
Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for all the setlk code. Signed-off-by: Marc Eshel <eshel@almaden.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-05-06locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from test_lockJ. Bruce Fields
Factor out the code that switches between generic and filesystem-specific lock methods; eventually we want to call this from lock managers (lockd and nfsd) too; currently they only call the generic methods. This patch does that for test_lock. Note that this hasn't been necessary until recently, because the few filesystems that define ->lock() (nfs, cifs...) aren't exportable via NFS. However GFS (and, in the future, other cluster filesystems) need to implement their own locking to get cluster-coherent locking, and also want to be able to export locking to NFS (lockd and NFSv4). So we accomplish this by factoring out code such as this and exporting it for the use of lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-05-06locks: give posix_test_lock same interface as ->lockMarc Eshel

2007-05-06locks: make ->lock release private data before returning in GETLK caseJ. Bruce Fields
The file_lock argument to ->lock is used to return the conflicting lock when found. There's no reason for the filesystem to return any private information with this conflicting lock, but nfsv4 is. Fix nfsv4 client, and modify locks.c to stop calling fl_release_private for it in this case. Signed-off-by: "J.

2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.
