      filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs · c4be0c1d
      Takashi Sato 提交于
      Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
      suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
      filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
      replication) while it is mounted.
      
      In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
      and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
      
      If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
      without a commercial filesystem.
      
      So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
      I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
      1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
      2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
         with the storage device's feature.
      3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
      4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
         or the snapshot.
      
      This patch:
      
      VFS:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that they can return an error.
      Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
      freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
      
      ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
      and unlockfs always returns 0.
      
      reiserfs:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

      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).

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry · 726c3342
      David Howells 提交于
      Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
      pointer.
      
      This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
      sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
      require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
      the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
      
      linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
      successfully.
      
      Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD

      If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
      in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
      from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the

      The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
      those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
      inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
      though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
      potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
      spreading.
      
      Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
      the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
      Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
      slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

      JFS: add uid, gid, and umask mount options · 69eb66d7

      OS/2 doesn't initialize the uid, gid, or unix-style permission bits.  The

      file system, overriding what is stored on disk.  This is useful for users
      sharing the file system with OS/2.
      
      I implemented a little feature so that if you mask the execute bit, it
      will be re-enabled on directories when the appropriate read bit is unmasked.
      I didn't want to implement an fmask & dmask option.

      [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) · 28fd1298
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
      
      See mm/filemap.c:
      
      And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
      
      Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
      returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
      error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
      (e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
      
      <quotation>
      Andrew Morton writes,
      
      If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
      I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
      crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
      good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
      forever.
      </quotation>
      
      So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.
      
      Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
      nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

         noticed until now.
      
      2. Make sure special inodes are on an inode hash list.  If the inodes are
         unhashed, __mark_inode_dirty will fail to put the inode on the
         superblock's dirty list, and the data will not be flushed under memory
         pressure.
      
      3. Force writing journal data to disk when metapage_writepage is unable to
         write a metadata page due to pending journal I/O.

      [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts · 8fc2751b
      Mark Bellon 提交于
      If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
      are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
      for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
      symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
      don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.
      
      While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
      call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
      no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
      fail in the symlink case.
      
      The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
      hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
      currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
      especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).
      
      Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
      codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
      VFS migration. Issue summary:
      
       - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.
      
       - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
         quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
         of FS.
      
       - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
         should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
         quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.
      
      Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:
      
         JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
         EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
             - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
             - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
             - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
         EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
         EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
         EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in
      
       - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
         warn but
      
       - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
         otherwise were a
      
       - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
         removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
         old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)
      
       - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
         type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
         usrjquota)
      
       - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
         grpquota)
