noop_backing_dev_info is used only as a flag to mark filesystems that don't have any backing store, like tmpfs, procfs, spufs, etc. Signed-off-by: NJoern Engel <joern@logfs.org> Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in __mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.

Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro. Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev via their own mappings. These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev) and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications. So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a coherency point. The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal" block devices, including loop.

Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call remount.

Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long. Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison. Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value. Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now that it's a signed value.

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that for each n < start n is known to be busy. Allocation can skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns n, we can set start to n + 1. Freeing below start sets start to what we'd just freed. Of course, it still sucks if we do something like free 0 allocate allocate in a loop - still O(n^2) time. However, on saner loads it improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case behaviour.

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller.

Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super() either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super() (and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course). Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super() into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all. Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers() is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks. sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

So far, do_sync() called: sync_inodes(0); sync_supers(); sync_filesystems(0); sync_filesystems(1); sync_inodes(1); This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2 and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1). Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced after write_super() / sync_fs() call.

Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s); However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over. As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb() failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over. Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose if superblock is either safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock. Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them. b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common, so the helper makes sense anyway.

After a while a lockdep warning showed up: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.28 #479 --------------------------------------------- mount/13554 is trying to acquire lock: (&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049d888>] sget+0x5e/0x321 but task is already holding lock: (&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049da0c>] sget+0x1e2/0x321 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by mount/13554: #0: (&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049da0c>] sget+0x1e2/0x321 stack backtrace: Pid: 13554, comm: mount Not tainted 2.6.28-mc #479 Call Trace: [<c044ad2e>] validate_chain+0x4c6/0xbbd [<c044ba9b>] __lock_acquire+0x676/0x700 [<c044bb82>] lock_acquire+0x5d/0x7a [<c049d888>] ? sget+0x5e/0x321 [<c061b9b8>] down_write+0x34/0x50 [<c049d888>] ? sget+0x5e/0x321 [<c049d888>] sget+0x5e/0x321 [<c045a2e7>] ? cgroup_set_super+0x0/0x3e [<c045959f>] ? cgroup_test_super+0x0/0x2f [<c045bcea>] cgroup_get_sb+0x98/0x2e7 [<c045cfb6>] cpuset_get_sb+0x4a/0x5f [<c049dfa4>] vfs_kern_mount+0x40/0x7b [<c049e02d>] do_kern_mount+0x37/0xbf [<c04af4a0>] do_mount+0x5c3/0x61a [<c04addd2>] ? copy_mount_options+0x2c/0x111 [<c04af560>] sys_mount+0x69/0xa0 [<c0403251>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x31 The cause is after alloc_super() and then retry, an old entry in list fs_supers is found, so grab_super(old) is called, but both functions hold s_umount lock: struct super_block *sget(...) { ... retry: spin_lock(&sb_lock); if (test) { list_for_each_entry(old, &type->fs_supers, s_instances) { if (!test(old, data)) continue; if (!grab_super(old)) <--- 2nd: down_write(&old->s_umount); goto retry; if (s) destroy_super(s); return old; } } if (!s) { spin_unlock(&sb_lock); s = alloc_super(type); <--- 1th: down_write(&s->s_umount) if (!s) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); goto retry; } ... } It seems like a false positive, and seems like VFS but not cgroup needs to be fixed. Peter said: We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't particularly cares about subclass order. If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.
