      nfs: when attempting to open a directory, fall back on normal lookup (try #5) · 1788ea6e
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      commit d953126a changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return
      from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall
      back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began
      returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however
      never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up
      with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that.
      
      That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that
      does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If
      you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed.
      
      Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing
      attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup
      
      Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns
      -ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly,
      but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging.
      
      To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the
      nfs_rpc_ops struct.

      vfs: do (nearly) lockless generic_file_llseek · ef3d0fd2
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts.  Independent processes
      accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
      they have no need for synchronization at all.
      
      Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
      systems.
      
      This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
      
      First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
      on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
      This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
      The patch does not change that.
      
      Let's look at the different seek variants:
      
      SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
      If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
      
      For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
      stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
      against write() now.  The read() race was deemed
      acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
      ok for read it's ok for write too.
      
      => Don't need a lock.
      
      SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
      the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
      32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
      the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
      can just use that instead.
      
      Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
      however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
      like another racy SEEK_SET.  On non atomic 32bit it's the same
      as SEEK_SET.
      
      => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
      
      SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
      on the same file. One could argue that any application
      doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
      But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
      using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
      lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
      synchronize between processes.
      
      => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
      
      This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
      I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.
