      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      buffer: set errors in mapping at the time that the error occurs · 87354e5d
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync
      on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared.
      
      The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and
      then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag
      perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with
      O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error
      set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is
      incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync.
      
      Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and
      the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to
      set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove
      the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the
      mapping.
      
      This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first
      detected.

      vfs: Add page_cache_seek_hole_data helper · 334fd34d
      Andreas Gruenbacher 提交于
      Both ext4 and xfs implement seeking for the next hole or piece of data
      in unwritten extents by scanning the page cache, and both versions share
      the same bug when iterating the buffers of a page: the start offset into
      the page isn't taken into account, so when a page fits more than two
      filesystem blocks, things will go wrong.  For example, on a filesystem
      with a block size of 1k, the following command will fail:
      
        xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 4k" \
                  -c "pwrite 1k 1k" \
                  -c "pwrite 3k 1k" \
                  -c "seek -a -r 0" foo
      
      In this example, neither lseek(fd, 1024, SEEK_HOLE) nor lseek(fd, 2048,
      SEEK_DATA) will return the correct result.
      
      Introduce a generic vfs helper for seeking in the page cache that gets
      this right.  The next commits will replace the filesystem specific
      implementations.

      fs: remove _submit_bh() · 020c2833
      Eric Biggers 提交于
      _submit_bh() allowed submitting a buffer_head for I/O using custom
      bio_flags.  It used to be used by jbd to set BIO_SNAP_STABLE, introduced
      by commit 71368511 ("mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a
      per-bio operation").  However, the code and flag has since been removed
      and no _submit_bh() users remain.
      
      These days, bio_flags are mostly used internally by the block layer to
      track the state of bio's.  As such, it doesn't really make sense for
      filesystems to use them instead of op_flags when wanting special
      behavior for block requests.
      
      Therefore, remove _submit_bh() and trim the bio_flags argument from
      submit_bh_wbc().

      fs: export __block_write_full_page · b4bba389
      Benjamin Marzinski 提交于
      gfs2 needs to be able to skip the check to see if a page is outside of
      the file size when writing it out. gfs2 can get into a situation where
      it needs to flush its in-memory log to disk while a truncate is in
      progress. If the file being trucated has data journaling enabled, it is
      possible that there are data blocks in the log that are past the end of
      the file. gfs can't finish the log flush without either writing these
      blocks out or revoking them. Otherwise, if the node crashed, it could
      overwrite subsequent changes made by other nodes in the cluster when
      it's journal was replayed.
      
      Unfortunately, there is no way to add log entries to the log during a
      flush. So gfs2 simply writes out the page instead. This situation can
      only occur when the truncate code still has the file locked exclusively,
      and hasn't marked this block as free in the metadata (which happens
      later in truc_dealloc).  After gfs2 writes this page out, the truncation
      code will shortly invalidate it and write out any revokes if necessary.
      
      In order to make this work, gfs2 needs to be able to skip the check for
      writes outside the file size. Since the check exists in
      block_write_full_page, this patch exports __block_write_full_page, which
      doesn't have the check.

      mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros · 09cbfeaf
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
      ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
      cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
      
      This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.
      
      We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
      PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
      PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
      especially on the border between fs and mm.
      
      Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
      breakage to be doable.
      
      Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
      not.
      
      The changes are pretty straight-forward:
      
       - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
      
       - page_cache_get() -> get_page();
      
       - page_cache_release() -> put_page();
      
      This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
      script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
      I've called spatch for them manually.
      
      The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
      PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
      
      There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
      fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
      will be addressed with the separate patch.

      direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completions · 7b7a8665
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
      context using a workqueue.  This replaces opencoded and less efficient
      code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
      and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
      
      The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
      a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
      direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
      with the filesystems.
      
      Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
      completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara.  I'm
      not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
      workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

      mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into account · b4597226

      Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
      to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should

      can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
      filesystems like ext3 ordered mode.  Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
      can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
      be accounted as congested.
      
      This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
      optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
      writeback.  An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
      and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode.  By default the
      page flags are obeyed.
      
      Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
      not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
      problem could be addressed.

      mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length · d47992f8
      Lukas Czerner 提交于
      Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
      truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
      needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
      operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
      hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
      up to the certain point.
      
      Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
      be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
      range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
      page).
      
      This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
      prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
      for it.
      
      We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
      make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
      
      Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
      where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
      in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
      to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

      mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation · 71368511
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
      bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
      to guarantee stable pages during writeback.  Next, for the one user
      (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
      initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.
      
      We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
      file data can be written through the journal.  Finally, the
      MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
      rid of it.

      buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function · f0059afd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      We want to add a trace point to touch_buffer() but macros and inline
      functions defined in header files can't have tracing points.  Move
      touch_buffer() to fs/buffer.c and make it a proper function.
      
      The new exported function is also declared inline.  As most uses of
      touch_buffer() are inside buffer.c with nilfs2 as the only other user,
      the effect of this change should be negligible.

      vfs: Block mmapped writes while the fs is frozen · ea13a864
      Jan Kara 提交于
      We should not allow file modification via mmap while the filesystem is
      frozen. So block in block_page_mkwrite() while the filesystem is frozen.
      We cannot do the blocking wait in __block_page_mkwrite() since e.g. ext4
      will want to call that function with transaction started in some cases
      and that would deadlock. But we can at least do the non-blocking reliable
      check in __block_page_mkwrite() which is the hardest part anyway.
      
      We have to check for frozen filesystem with the page marked dirty and under
      page lock with which we then return from ->page_mkwrite(). Only that way we
      cannot race with writeback done by freezing code - either we mark the page
      dirty after the writeback has started, see freezing in progress and block, or
      writeback will wait for our page lock which is released only when the fault is
      done and then writeback will writeout and writeprotect the page again.

      block: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA based interface for FLUSH/FUA requests · 4fed947c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
      FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags.  REQ_FLUSH means the
      device cache should be flushed before executing the request.  REQ_FUA
      means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
      completion.
      
      Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
      and execute it.  The request may be passed to the device directly if
      the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
      more proxy requests.  Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
      which it doesn't support.
      
      Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
      never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.  If the underlying device doesn't
      support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop.  IOW, it no
      longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
      cache flush and writethrough/no cache.  Devices which have WB cache
      w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
      much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
      implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling.  This will simplify filesystems and
      block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.
      
      * QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
        blk-flush.c.
      
      * REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
        sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
        have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
        of proxy requests.
      
      * REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
        copied from bio to request.
      
      * WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
        WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

      remove SWRITE* I/O types · 9cb569d6
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
      lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.
      
      Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
      and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers.  Note that the ll_rw_block
      code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
      this patch fixes.
      
      In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block
      to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for
