2011-07-23fs/9p: Always ask new inode in createAneesh Kumar K.V
This make sure we don't end up reusing the unlinked inode object. The ideal way is to use inode i_generation. But i_generation is not available in userspace always. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2011-07-23fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details and inode mode bits.Aneesh Kumar K.V
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>

2011-07-22isofs: Remove global fs lockJan Kara
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.

Test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { execvp("true", NULL); return NULL; } int main(void) { int pid; if (fork()) { pthread_t t; kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL); for (;;) pause(); } pid = getppid(); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); while (wait(NULL) > 0) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0); return 0; } It is racy, exit_notify() does __wake_up_parent() too. But in the likely case it triggers the problem: de_thread() does release_task() and the old leader goes away without the notification, the tracer sleeps in do_wait() without children/tracees. Change de_thread() to do __wake_up_parent(traced_leader->parent). Since it is already EXIT_DEAD we can do this without ptrace_unlink(), EXIT_DEAD threads do not exist from do_wait's pov.

2011-07-21vfs: drop conditional inode prefetch in __do_lookup_rcuLinus Torvalds
It seems to hurt performance in real life. Yes, the inode will be used later, but the conditional doesn't seem to predict all that well (negative dentries are not uncommon) and it looks like the cost of prefetching is simply higher than depending on the cache doing the right thing.

2011-07-21FS-Cache: Fix __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages()'s outer loopJan Beulich
The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the comparison: next <= (loff_t)-1 is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t). The intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited when "next" would otherwise wrap. On m68k the following warning is observed: fs/fscache/page.c: In function '__fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages': fs/fscache/page.c:979: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Reported-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

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.

2011-07-20Btrfs: implement our own ->llseekJosef Bacik
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.

2011-07-20fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik
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>

2011-07-20fs: move inode_dio_done to the end_io handlerChristoph Hellwig
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>
2011-07-20fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototypeChristoph Hellwig
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.

2011-07-20fs: always maintain i_dio_countChristoph Hellwig
Maintain i_dio_count for all filesystems, not just those using DIO_LOCKING. 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>
2011-07-20fs: move inode_dio_wait calls into ->setattrChristoph Hellwig

2011-07-20fs: kill i_alloc_semChristoph Hellwig
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).

2011-07-20ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use generic helpersJan Kara
Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use __block_page_mkwrite() helper. 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. Also add a check for frozen filesystem so that we don't busyloop in page fault when the filesystem is frozen. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

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.
