      sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage · 268bb0ce
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
      iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
      uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
      obscure header file dependency.
      
      So this fixes things up a bit, using
      
         grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
         grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
      
      to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
      inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
      
      There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
      many core ones.

      vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules · dea3667b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
      while, in odd ways.  That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
      and non-obvious.
      
      In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
      explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.  That's despite the fact that the hash
      abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
      or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).
      
      The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
      unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
      dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit
      b3423415: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").
      
      That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
      for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
      because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
      whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
      dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
      and wouldn't be free'd correctly.
      
      That's just insane.  It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
      were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
      that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
      being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.
      
      So turn all of it around, and make it logical.
      
      Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
      the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
      logic for that.  Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
      and everything makes sense.
      
      And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
      If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
      visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
      needs the RCU lifetime rules.  Now suddently that test at dentry free
      time makes sense too.
      
      And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
      got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
      some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
      common code for the unhashing.
      
      Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
      the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

      vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstraction · b07ad996
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually
      help anything - quite the reverse.  All the users end up having to know
      about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *'
      etc. So it just makes the code look confusing.
      
      And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more
      importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look
      different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list.
      
      As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and
      special helper functions for what is really another totally identical
      case in the very same function.
      
      Make it all look and work the same.

      vfs: fix incorrect dentry_update_name_case() BUG_ON() test · 7ebfa57f
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that
      the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore
      for the dentry itself.  It's the directory locking that rename and
      readdir() etc all care about.
      
      The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still
      checked the dentry inode itself.
      
      Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used
      for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it.
      
      I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just
      one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of
      it entirely.

      fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2 · 24ff6663
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
      getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason.  Eric Paris and printk() helped me
      figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
      denial
      
      type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc:  denied  { 0x800000 } for  pid=1772
      comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
      tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file
      
      Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
      one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
      security_d_instantiate.
      
      Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
      security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
      option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
      and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
      ahead and call it if we find a dentry already.  Eric assures me that this is ok
      as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
      security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok.  With
      this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.

      VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38 · c83ce989
      Trond Myklebust 提交于
      The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
      because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
      directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
      appropriate unlink rpc call.
      
      Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
      seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
      whether or not there is a race:
        - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
        - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
          the dentries in that super block.
        - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
          deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
          is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

      fs/dcache: allow d_obtain_alias() to return unhashed dentries · d891eedb
      J. Bruce Fields 提交于
      Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
      unlinked file by an nfs client:
      
      	client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
      	client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
      	...
      	server$ df -i /export
      	server$ rm /export/FOO
      	(^C the tail -f)
      	server$ df -i /export
      	server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
      	server$ df -i /export
      
      the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
      the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
      tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
      spurious ENOSPC.
      
      This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
      compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:
      
      	- putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the
      	  inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
      	  this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
      	  returns that instead.
      	- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
      	  immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
      	- end of the compound: release the reference
      	  to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
      	  DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
      	  unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.
      
      Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
      the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
      create a new dentry.
      
      Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
      callers.
      
      Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
      hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

      Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link() · 9875cf80
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than
      abusing the follow_link() inode operation.  The operation is keyed off a new
      dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT).
      
      This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment
      automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the
      pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics.
      
      The ->d_automount() dentry operation:
      
      	struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint);
      
      takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to
      provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted.  If successful, it
      should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added
      to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar).  If there's a collision with
      another automount attempt, NULL should be returned.  If the directory specified
      by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon,
      -EISDIR should be returned.  In any other case, an error code should be
      returned.
      
      The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep.  At
      this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode.
      
      Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is
      added to handle mountpoints.  It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was
      set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many
      symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without
      mounting and 0 if successful.  The path will be updated to point to the mounted
      filesystem if a successful automount took place.
      
      __follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic
      (especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()).  This handles transits from
      directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over
      mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch).
      
      __follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an
      automount point with nothing mounted on it.
      
      follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them
      whilst following "..".
      
      I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it
      here.  It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(),
      tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory,
      or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname.  If they do a stat(), however,
      they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW.
      
      I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their
      inodes as automount points.  This flag is automatically propagated to the
      dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate().  This saves NFS and could
      save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary.  It would be
      preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally
      have access to the inode.
      
      [AV: fixed breakage in case if __follow_mount_rcu() fails and nameidata_drop_rcu()
      succeeds in RCU case of do_lookup(); we need to fall through to non-RCU case after
      that, rather than just returning with ungrabbed *path]

      The standard memcmp function on a Westmere system shows up hot in

      microcode, and little opportunity to improve memory access (dentry
      name is not likely to take up more than a cacheline).
      
      So replace it with an open-coded byte comparison. This increases code

      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Put dentry and inode fields into top of data structure.  This allows RCU path
      traversal to perform an RCU dentry lookup in a path walk by touching only the
      first 56 bytes of the dentry.
      
      We also fit in 8 bytes of inline name in the first 64 bytes, so for short
      names, only 64 bytes needs to be touched to perform the lookup. We should
      get rid of the hash->prev pointer from the first 64 bytes, and fit 16 bytes
      of name in there, which will take care of 81% rather than 32% of the kernel
      tree.
      
      inode is also rearranged so that RCU lookup will only touch a single cacheline
      in the inode, plus one in the i_ops structure.
      
      This is important for directory component lookups in RCU path walking. In the
      kernel source, directory names average is around 6 chars, so this works.
      
      When we reach the last element of the lookup, we need to lock it and take its
      refcount which requires another cacheline access.
      
      Align dentry and inode operations structs, so members will be at predictable

      mounts left, which is not time critical because it is performed at detach time.
      
      The mounted state of a dentry is only used to speculatively take a look in the
      mount hash table if it is set -- before following the mount, vfsmount lock is
      taken and mount re-checked without races.
      
      This saves 4 bytes on 32-bit, nothing on 64-bit but it does provide a hole I
      might use later (and some configs have larger than 32-bit spinlocks which might
      make use of the hole).
      
      Autofs4 conversion and changelog by Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>:
      In autofs4, when expring direct (or offset) mounts we need to ensure that we
      block user path walks into the autofs mount, which is covered by another mount.
      To do this we clear the mounted status so that follows stop before walking into
      the mount and are essentially blocked until the expire is completed. The
      automount daemon still finds the correct dentry for the umount due to the
      follow mount logic in fs/autofs4/root.c:autofs4_follow_link(), which is set as
      an inode operation for direct and offset mounts only and is called following
      the lookup that stopped at the covered mount.
      
      At the end of the expire the covering mount probably has gone away so the
      mounted status need not be restored. But we need to check this and only restore
      the mounted status if the expire failed.
      
      XXX: autofs may not work right if we have other mounts go over the top of it?

      fs: rcu-walk for path lookup · 31e6b01f
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the
      ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current
      algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk.
      
      This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element,
      significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline
      bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability.
      
      The overall design is like this:
      * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk.
      * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring
        of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are
        not required for dentry persistence.
      * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can
        access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk.
      * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt
        refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount
        lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and
        down the path.
      * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode,
        so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its
        members have changed.
      * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent
        sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent
        during the path walk.
      * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for
        limited things.
      * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk.
      * i_op can be loaded.
      
      When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence,
      and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks
      are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does
      not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the
      lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the
      path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk.
      
      Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted
      where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take
      a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if
      we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup
      using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk
      for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to
      gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root).
      
      The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are:
      * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element)
      * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs
      * dentries with d_revalidate
      * Following links
      
      In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It
      may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.
      
      Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the
      very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated.

      prune_one_dentry can avoid quite a bit of locking in the common case where
      ancestors have an elevated refcount. Alternatively, we could have gone the
      other way and made fewer trylocks in the case where d_count goes to zero, but
      is probably less common.

      fs: dcache rationalise dget variants · dc0474be
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
      held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
      However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
      caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
      dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

      fs: Use rename lock and RCU for multi-step operations · 949854d0
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The remaining usages for dcache_lock is to allow atomic, multi-step read-side
      operations over the directory tree by excluding modifications to the tree.
      Also, to walk in the leaf->root direction in the tree where we don't have
      a natural d_lock ordering.
      
      This could be accomplished by taking every d_lock, but this would mean a
      huge number of locks and actually gets very tricky.
      
      Solve this instead by using the rename seqlock for multi-step read-side
      operations, retry in case of a rename so we don't walk up the wrong parent.
      Concurrent dentry insertions are not serialised against.  Concurrent deletes
      are tricky when walking up the directory: our parent might have been deleted
      when dropping locks so also need to check and retry for that.
      
      We can also use the rename lock in cases where livelock is a worry (and it
      is introduced in subsequent patch).

      Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is

      have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.
