      nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure · e3154e97
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
      fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
      change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
      simplified as follows:
      
      Before:
        super_block
             -> nilfs_sb_info
                   -> the_nilfs
                         -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                                     +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                                     +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                                     :
                   -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
      After:
        super_block
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
                   -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
      
      The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
      initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
      composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
      shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
      current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
      device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

      nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl · 947b10ae
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
      commit 263d90ce ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
      and leading to filesystem corruption.
      
      The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
      through the vfs inode cache.  Here, gc-inode is the inode which
      buffers blocks to be relocated on GC.  That patch queues gc-inodes in
      nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
      they don't have I_NEW flag.  Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
      overrode without being moved to new logs.
      
      This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
      function to ensure it's done right.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      nilfs2: fix kernel oops in error case of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks · 5399dd1f
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      This fixes a kernel oops reported by Markus Trippelsdorf in the email
      titled "[NILFS users] kernel Oops while running nilfs_cleanerd".
      
      The oops was caused by a bug of error path in
      nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() function, which was inlined in
      nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
      
      nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks checks duplication of blocks which will be
      moved in garbage collection.  But, the check should have be done
      within nilfs_ioctl_move_inode_block() to prevent list corruption among
      buffers storing the target blocks.
      
      To fix the kernel oops, this moves forward the duplication check
      before the list insertion.
      
      I also tested this for stable trees [2.6.30, 2.6.31].

      nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3 · 1cf58fa8
      Jiro SEKIBA 提交于
      This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period.
      This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time.
      
      When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments.
      Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction,
      however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
      This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
      transaction lock and put it before the transaction.
      
      I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition.
      I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks
      before starting the benchmark.
      
      Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request
      statistics, which is min/max and avg.  I ran each test three times and
      bellow is average of those numers.
      
      According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated.
      However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved.
      This can address a few seconds write freeze.

      nilfs2: allow future expansion of metadata read out via get info ioctl · 003ff182
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
      files:
      
       - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
       - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
       - NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
         respectively.
      
      Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
      future expansion of on-disk format.  But, the above ioctl commands do
      not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
      arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.
      
      This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
      basic format of the "get information" ioctls:
      
       - struct nilfs_cpinfo
       - struct nilfs_suinfo
       - struct nilfs_vinfo
      
      So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.
      
      In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
      changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
      routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
      structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
      the current version of nilfs doesn't know.
      
      [1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
          against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
          function), and this will not cause security problem.

      This inserts the missing checks and rejects requests if data of ioctl
      does not have a valid format.
      
      We usually don't have to check size of structures that we associated
      with ioctl commands because the size is tested implicitly for
      identifying ioctl command; the checks this patch adds are for the
      cases where the implicit check is not applied.

      Even though nilfs_clean_segments() does not perform write access on
      given user pages, it may cause deadlock because nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
      is shared per device and mm->mmap_sem can be shared with other tasks.
      
      To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user()
      outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl.

      nilfs2: fix possible circular locking for get information ioctls · 47eb6b9c
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      This is one of two patches which are to correct possible circular
      locking between mm->mmap_sem and nilfs->ns_segctor_sem.
      
      The problem was detected by lockdep check as follows:

      This makes the lock granularity of nilfs->ns_segctor_sem finer than
      that of the mmap semaphore for ioctl commands except
      nilfs_clean_segments().
      
      The successive patch ("nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in
      nilfs_clean_segments ioctl") is required to fully resolve the problem.

      nilfs2: fix circular locking dependency of writer mutex · 201913ed
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      This fixes the following circular locking dependency problem:
      
       =======================================================
       [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
       2.6.30-rc3 #5
       -------------------------------------------------------
       segctord/3895 is trying to acquire lock:
        (&nilfs->ns_writer_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<d0d02172>]
         nilfs_mdt_get_block+0x89/0x20f [nilfs2]

         nilfs_bmap_propagate+0x14/0x2e [nilfs2]
      
       which lock already depends on the new lock.
      
      The bugfix is done by replacing call sites of nilfs_get_writer() which
      are never called from read-only context with direct dereferencing of
      pointer to a writable FS-instance.
