Enforcing exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs caused a docker regression: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/34672. Euan spotted the regression and pointed to the offending commit. Vivek has brought the regression to my attention and provided this reproducer: Terminal 1: mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ Terminal 2: unshare -m Terminal 1: umount merged mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ mount: /root/overlay-testing/merged: none already mounted or mount point busy To fix the regression, I replaced the error with an alarming warning. With index feature enabled, mount does fail, but logs a suggestion to override exclusive dir protection by disabling index. Note that index=off mount does take the inuse locks, so a concurrent index=off will issue the warning and a concurrent index=on mount will fail. Documentation was updated to reflect this change.

Patch series "Ranged pagevec lookup", v2. In this series I make pagevec_lookup() update the index (to be consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation for ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code but is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch 4/10) where radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after the end of the range has measurable overhead. This patch (of 10): The callback doesn't ever get called. Remove it.

由 Ross Zwisler 提交于
When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree. This has three major drawbacks: 1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps: 7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 1048576 kB Pss: 1048576 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 1048576 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 1048576 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB 2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on a random test box: Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 us This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by this simple fio script: [global] size=1G filename=/root/dax/data fallocate=none [io] rw=read ioengine=mmap 3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more complex. Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX code. Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early and fail loudly. This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new code: 7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 0 kB Pss: 0 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 0 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved. Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more: "To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call. Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page(): case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page() returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper. We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults. This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724170616.25810-4-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: NRoss Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: "Darrick J.

Differentiate the MS_* flags passed to mount(2) from the internal flags set in the super_block's s_flags. s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to. In this patch, just the headers are altered and some kernel code where blind automated conversion isn't necessarily correct. Note that this shows up some interesting issues: (1) Some MS_* flags get translated to MNT_* flags (such as MS_NODEV -> MNT_NODEV) without passing this on to the filesystem, but some filesystems set such flags anyway. (2) The ->remount_fs() methods of some filesystems adjust the *flags argument by setting MS_* flags in it, such as MS_NOATIME - but these flags are then scrubbed by do_remount_sb() (only the occupants of MS_RMT_MASK are permitted: MS_RDONLY, MS_SYNCHRONOUS, MS_MANDLOCK, MS_I_VERSION and MS_LAZYTIME) I'm not sure what's the best way to solve all these cases.

Since it is possbile to have same number in tfd field (say file added, closed, then nother file dup'ed to same number and added back) it is imposible to distinguish such target files solely by their numbers. Strictly speaking regular applications don't need to recognize these targets at all but for checkpoint/restore sake we need to collect targets to be able to push them back on restore stage in a proper order. Thus lets add file position, inode and device number where this target lays. This three fields can be used as a primary key for sorting, and together with kcmp help CRIU can find out an exact file target (from the whole set of processes being checkpointed).

Commit ac6424b9 ("sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t") had scripted the renaming incorrectly, and didn't actually check that the 'wait_queue_t' was a full token. As a result, it also triggered on 'wait_queue_token', and renamed that to 'wait_queue_entry_token' entry in the autofs4 packet structure definition too. That was entirely incorrect, and not intended. The end result built fine when building just the kernel - because everything had been renamed consistently there - but caused problems in user space because the "struct autofs_packet_missing" type is exported as part of the uapi. This scripts it all back again: git grep -lw wait_queue_entry_token | xargs sed -i 's/wait_queue_entry_token/wait_queue_token/g' and checks the end result.

This patch adds to support plain user/group quota. Change Note by Jaegeuk Kim. - Use f2fs page cache for quota files in order to consider garbage collection. so, quota files are not tolerable for sudden power-cuts, so user needs to do quotacheck. - setattr() calls dquot_transfer which will transfer inode->i_blocks. We can't reclaim that during f2fs_evict_inode(). So, we need to count node blocks as well in order to match i_blocks with dquot's space. Note that, Chao wrote a patch to count inode->i_blocks without inode block. (f2fs: don't count inode block in in-memory inode.i_blocks) - in f2fs_remount, we need to make RW in prior to dquot_resume. - handle fault_injection case during f2fs_quota_off_umount - TODO: Project quota Signed-off-by: NChao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: NJaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Commit afddba49 ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by 4e02ed4b ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write"). Between these two commits, commit d9414774 ("cifs: Convert cifs to new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon removed by commit a98ee8c1 ("[CIFS] fix regression in cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end"). Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere. Let's remove this flag. This patch has no functionality changes.

Most of the almost-identical versions of pci_mmap_page_range() silently ignore the 'write_combine' argument and give uncached mappings. Yet we allow the PCIIOC_WRITE_COMBINE ioctl in /proc/bus/pci, expose the 'resourceX_wc' file in sysfs, and allow an attempted mapping to apparently succeed. To fix this, introduce a macro arch_can_pci_mmap_wc() which indicates whether the platform can do a write-combining mapping. On x86 this ends up being pat_enabled(), while the few other platforms that support it can just set it to a literal '1'.

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt: an user||a user an userspace||a userspace I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux. I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the list. I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as "userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.
