      saner FASYNC handling on file close · 233e70f4
      Al Viro 提交于
      As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
      need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
      creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
      
      So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
      file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
      crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
      don't have to bother anymore.

      fuse: support writable mmap · 3be5a52b
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Quoting Linus (3 years ago, FUSE inclusion discussions):
      
        "User-space filesystems are hard to get right. I'd claim that they
         are almost impossible, unless you limit them somehow (shared
         writable mappings are the nastiest part - if you don't have those,
         you can reasonably limit your problems by limiting the number of
         dirty pages you accept through normal "write()" calls)."
      
      Instead of attempting the impossible, I've just waited for the dirty page
      accounting infrastructure to materialize (thanks to Peter Zijlstra and
      others).  This nicely solved the biggest problem: limiting the number of pages
      used for write caching.
      
      Some small details remained, however, which this largish patch attempts to
      address.  It provides a page writeback implementation for fuse, which is
      completely safe against VM related deadlocks.  Performance may not be very
      good for certain usage patterns, but generally it should be acceptable.
      
      It has been tested extensively with fsx-linux and bash-shared-mapping.
      
      Fuse page writeback design
      --------------------------
      
      fuse_writepage() allocates a new temporary page with GFP_NOFS|__GFP_HIGHMEM.
      It copies the contents of the original page, and queues a WRITE request to the
      userspace filesystem using this temp page.
      
      The writeback is finished instantly from the MM's point of view: the page is
      removed from the radix trees, and the PageDirty and PageWriteback flags are
      cleared.
      
      For the duration of the actual write, the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter is
      incremented.  The per-bdi writeback count is not decremented until the actual
      write completes.
      
      On dirtying the page, fuse waits for a previous write to finish before
      proceeding.  This makes sure, there can only be one temporary page used at a
      time for one cached page.
      
      This approach is wasteful in both memory and CPU bandwidth, so why is this
      complication needed?
      
      The basic problem is that there can be no guarantee about the time in which
      the userspace filesystem will complete a write.  It may be buggy or even
      malicious, and fail to complete WRITE requests.  We don't want unrelated parts
      of the system to grind to a halt in such cases.
      
      Also a filesystem may need additional resources (particularly memory) to
      complete a WRITE request.  There's a great danger of a deadlock if that
      allocation may wait for the writepage to finish.
      
      Currently there are several cases where the kernel can block on page
      writeback:
      
        - allocation order is larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
        - page migration
        - throttle_vm_writeout (through NR_WRITEBACK)
        - sync(2)
      
      Of course in some cases (fsync, msync) we explicitly want to allow blocking.
      So for these cases new code has to be added to fuse, since the VM is not
      tracking writeback pages for us any more.
      
      As an extra safetly measure, the maximum dirty ratio allocated to a single
      fuse filesystem is set to 1% by default.  This way one (or several) buggy or
      malicious fuse filesystems cannot slow down the rest of the system by hogging
      dirty memory.
      
      With appropriate privileges, this limit can be raised through
      '/sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/max_ratio'.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).
