Currently some file system have IS_SWAPFILE check in their fallocate implementations and some do not. However we should really prevent any fallocate operation on swapfile so move the check to vfs and remove the redundant checks from the file systems fallocate implementations.

Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size. However there is nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is pointless. It should be done in the file system itself and the file system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change. The i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the filesystems. As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time. This can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test. This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the file system.

The function ext4_update_i_disksize() is used in only one place, in the function mpage_map_and_submit_extent(). Move its code to simplify the code paths, and also move the call to ext4_mark_inode_dirty() into the i_data_sem's critical region, to be consistent with all of the other places where we update i_disksize. That way, we also keep the raw_inode's i_disksize protected, to avoid the following race: CPU #1 CPU #2 down_write(&i_data_sem) Modify i_disk_size up_write(&i_data_sem) down_write(&i_data_sem) Modify i_disk_size Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode up_write(&i_data_sem) Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

When mounting ext4 with data=journal option, xfstest shared/002 and shared/004 are currently failing as checksum computed for testfile does not match with the checksum computed in other journal modes. In case of data=journal mode, a call to filemap_write_and_wait_range will not flush anything to disk as buffers are not marked dirty in write_end. In collapse range this call is followed by a call to truncate_pagecache_range. Due to this, when checksum is computed, a portion of file is re-read from disk which replace valid data with NULL bytes and hence the reason for the difference in checksum. Calling ext4_force_commit before filemap_write_and_wait_range solves the issue as it will mark the buffers dirty during commit transaction which can be later synced by a call to filemap_write_and_wait_range.

Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer) and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer lock.

When we try to get 2^32-1 block of the file which has the extent (ee_block=2^32-2, ee_len=1) with FIBMAP ioctl, it causes BUG_ON in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache(). To avoid the problem, ext4_map_blocks() needs to check the file logical block number. ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() called via ext4_map_blocks() cannot handle 2^32-1 because the maximum file logical block number is 2^32-2. Note that ext4_ind_map_blocks() returns -EIO when the block number is invalid. So ext4_map_blocks() should also return the same errno.

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated from userspace. This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid unnecessary write operations. If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information. With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment usage entries directly instead. This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use. If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs. Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate "workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of cache dropping. Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use. Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit. read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in the code. read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers: - read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read(). - JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read. - CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function returns. To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the read_cache_page(). This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot information is remembered. To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other than pages. The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return NULL for page cache holes, just as before. But provide a raw version of the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to use it.

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area surrounding a fault. It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is "empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get evicted from memory. Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition of "page cache hole".
