The current code is sort of hackish in that it assumes a referral is always matched to an export. When we add support for junctions that may not be the case. We can replace nfsd4_path() with a function that encodes the components directly from the dentries. Since nfsd4_path is currently the only user of the 'ex_pathname' field in struct svc_export, this has the added benefit of allowing us to get rid of that.

We currently use a bit in fl_flags to record whether a lease is being broken, and set fl_type to the type (RDLCK or UNLCK) that it will eventually have. This means that once the lease break starts, we forget what the lease's type *used* to be. Breaking a read lease will then result in blocking read opens, even though there's no conflict--because the lease type is now F_UNLCK and we can no longer tell whether it was previously a read or write lease. So, instead keep fl_type as the original type (the type which we enforce), and keep track of whether we're unlocking or merely downgrading by replacing the single FL_INPROGRESS flag by FL_UNLOCK_PENDING and FL_DOWNGRADE_PENDING flags. To get this right we also need to track separate downgrade and break times, to handle the case where a write-leased file gets conflicting opens first for read, then later for write. (I first considered just eliminating the downgrade behavior completely--nfsv4 doesn't need it, and nobody as far as I can tell actually uses it currently--but Jeremy Allison tells me that Windows oplocks do behave this way, so Samba will probably use this some day.)

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$ intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz' fields is quite costly. We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode ops that are used during pathname lookup. It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the order accessed. The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel "make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning to be done. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster. But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down my testing. Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly. I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time, but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive. The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on). So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off, single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly, #include sched.h for cond_resched().

The maximum size of a shmem/tmpfs file has been limited by the maximum size of its triple-indirect swap vector. With 4kB page size, maximum filesize was just over 2TB on a 32-bit kernel, but sadly one eighth of that on a 64-bit kernel. (With 8kB page size, maximum filesize was just over 4TB on a 64-bit kernel, but 16TB on a 32-bit kernel, MAX_LFS_FILESIZE being then more restrictive than swap vector layout.) It's a shame that tmpfs should be more restrictive than ramfs, and this limitation has now been noticed. Add another level to the swap vector? No, it became obscure and hard to maintain, once I complicated it to make use of highmem pages nine years ago: better choose another way. Surely, if 2.4 had had the radix tree pagecache introduced in 2.5, then tmpfs would never have invented its own peculiar radix tree: we would have fitted swap entries into the common radix tree instead, in much the same way as we fit swap entries into page tables. And why should each file have a separate radix tree for its pages and for its swap entries? The swap entries are required precisely where and when the pages are not. We want to put them together in a single radix tree: which can then avoid much of the locking which was needed to prevent them from being exchanged underneath us. This also avoids the waste of memory devoted to swap vectors, first in the shmem_inode itself, then at least two more pages once a file grew beyond 16 data pages (pages accounted by df and du, but not by memcg). Allocated upfront, to avoid allocation when under swapping pressure, but pure waste when CONFIG_SWAP is not set - I have never spattered around the ifdefs to prevent that, preferring this move to sharing the common radix tree instead. There are three downsides to sharing the radix tree. One, that it binds tmpfs more tightly to the rest of mm, either requiring knowledge of swap entries in radix tree there, or duplication of its code here in shmem.c. I believe that the simplications and memory savings (and probable higher performance, not yet measured) justify that. Two, that on HIGHMEM systems with SWAP enabled, it's the lowmem radix nodes that cannot be freed under memory pressure - whereas before it was the less precious highmem swap vector pages that could not be freed. I'm hoping that 64-bit has now been accessible for long enough, that the highmem argument has grown much less persuasive. Three, that swapoff is slower than it used to be on tmpfs files, since it's using a simple generic mechanism not tailored to it: I find this noticeable, and shall want to improve, but maybe nobody else will notice. So... now remove most of the old swap vector code from shmem.c. But, for the moment, keep the simple i_direct vector of 16 pages, with simple accessors shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), as a toy implementation to help mark where swap needs to be handled in subsequent patches.

If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries. Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(), find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig(). So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG in find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files. A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap entries. The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged into a pte_t when stored in page tables. In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to 30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we previously allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper 32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty areas of 128GB is probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine. Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and simplifying its code and locking. This patch: The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than page pointers there too? The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry() case. Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second case. If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree. The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to be stored there. radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument, output array in which to return those offsets. The same could be added to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one for which we need it.

memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error recovery. It must be called in process context. But commonly hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed execution mechanism must be used. In MCE handler, a work queue + ring buffer mechanism is used. In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors too. To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar to that of MCE is implemented. memory_failure_queue() is the new entry point that can be called in IRQ context.

This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some other operations. Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1). If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that. If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in the consumer. This can be summarized as follow: | add | del_first | del_all add | - | - | - del_first | | L | L del_all | | | - Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is needed. The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the order by yourself before traversing. The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

the only potentially subtle thing here: get_cached_acl() is never called with the second argument other than ACL_TYPE_{ACCESS,DEFAULT}. IOW, that return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) in there might as well be BUG(). Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
