2009-03-26ext3: Avoid starting a transaction in writepage when not necessaryJan Kara
We don't have to start a transaction in writepage() when all the blocks are a properly allocated. Even in ordered mode either the data has been written via write() and they are thus already added to transaction's list or the data was written via mmap and then it's random in which transaction they get written anyway. This should help VM to pageout dirty memory without blocking on transaction commits. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-03-24sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errorsHugh Dickins
Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

2009-03-24sysfs: only allow one scheduled removal callback per kobjAlex Chiang
The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface. Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same device over and over, e.g. $ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its callback handler will be called multiple times, and will eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject, leading to many problems. Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in the infrastructure. Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject, return -EAGAIN. This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this callback hokey pokey.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

2009-03-24sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files.Eric W. Biederman
Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

2009-03-24sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filenameAlex Chiang
sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a duplicate file being created in sysfs. We now will display warnings such as: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs root, or: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a given directory in sysfs. The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.

2009-03-24GFS2: Fix locking bug in failed shared to exclusive conversionBenjamin Marzinski
After calling out to the dlm, GFS2 sets the new state of a glock to gl_target in gdlm_ast(). However, gl_target is not always the lock state that was requested. If a conversion from shared to exclusive fails, finish_xmote() will call do_xmote() with LM_ST_UNLOCKED, instead of gl->gl_target, so that it can reacquire the lock in exlusive the next time around. In this case, setting the lock to gl_target in gdlm_ast() will make GFS2 think that it has the glock in exclusive mode, when really, it doesn't have the glock locked at all. This patch adds a new field to the gfs2_glock structure, gl_req, to track the mode that was requested.

2009-03-24GFS2: Pagecache usage optimization on GFS2Hisashi Hifumi
I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for GFS2. A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment. This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we want to read are uptodate. "block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4. With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance improvement. I did a performance test using the sysbench. #sysbench --num-threads=16 --max-requests=200000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 --file-block-size=8K --file-total-size=2G --file-test-mode=rndrw --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-rw-ratio=1 run -2.6.29-rc6 Test execution summary: total time: 202.6389s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2580.0480 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0129s max: 49.5852s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0462s -2.6.29-rc6-patched Test execution summary: total time: 177.8639s total number of events: 200000 total time taken by event execution: 2419.0199 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0121s max: 52.4306s approx. 95 percentile: 0.0444s arch: ia64 pagesize: 16k blocksize: 4k Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2009-03-24GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfsSteven Whitehouse
This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same way as if a request had come in from a remote node. This is intended for testing issues relating to caching of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is generic enough to send requests to any type of glock, but be careful as its not always safe to send an arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root only. The messages look like this: <type>:<glocknumber> <mode> Example: echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR (depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!). If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned. The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

2009-03-24GFS2: Expose UUID via sysfs/ueventSteven Whitehouse
Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places (a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add the UUID as well, we have a full set. For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID env var will be added to the uevents.

2009-03-24GFS2: Support generation of discard requestsSteven Whitehouse
This patch allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem. In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard" mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum number. If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device, then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

2009-03-24GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flushSteven Whitehouse
This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush. Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock. We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still cached from when the transaction was started. By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction glock. In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across while fixing the original problem. Reported-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: Fix error path ref counting for root inodeSteven Whitehouse
We were keeping hold of an extra ref to the root inode in one of the error paths, that resulted in a hang. Reported-by: Nate Straz <nstraz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Tested-by: Robert Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: Remove unused field from glockSteven Whitehouse
The time stamp field is unused in the glock now that we are using a shrinker, so that we can remove it and save sizeof(unsigned long) bytes in each glock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2Steven Whitehouse
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change such as: o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit) o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed some time ago. o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is more than big enough for now!) Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node filesystem with out requiring the DLM. This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months and its passed a number of different tests so far.

2009-03-24GFS2: Remove "double" locking in quotaSteven Whitehouse
We only really need a single spin lock for the quota data, so lets just use the lru lock for now. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Abhijith Das <adas@redhat.com>
2009-03-24GFS2: change gfs2_quota_scan into a shrinkerAbhijith Das

2009-03-24GFS2: Bring back lvb-related stuff to lock_nolock to support quotasAbhijith Das

2009-03-24GFS2: Fix remount argument parsingSteven Whitehouse
The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some had not.

2009-03-22eCryptfs: NULL crypt_stat dereference during lookupTyler Hicks
If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup. This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.
