      mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode · 2aa15890
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
      can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
      
      Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
      
      The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
      one concurrent invocation per inode.  For example:
      
        thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
           stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
      
        thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
           the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
           vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
           returns without doing anything.
      
      Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
      restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
      own value.  This could go on forever without any of them being able to
      finish.
      
      Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex.  Other
      callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
      i_mutex protection for all callers.  In particular ->d_revalidate(),
      which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
      with or without i_mutex.
      
      This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
      running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
      
      [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
        preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
        lockbreak" patch in particular.  But that is for 2.6.39 ]

      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: convert nilfs_bmap_lookup to an inline function · 0f3fe33b
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      The nilfs_bmap_lookup() is now a wrapper function of
      nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level().
      
      This moves the nilfs_bmap_lookup() to a header file converting it to
      an inline function and gives an opportunity for optimization.

      nilfs2: always lookup disk block address before reading metadata block · 14351104
      Ryusuke Konishi 提交于
      The current metadata file code skips disk address lookup for its data
      block if the buffer has a mapped flag.
      
      This has a potential risk to cause read request to be performed
      against the stale block address that GC moved, and it may lead to meta
      data corruption.  The mapped flag is safe if the buffer has an
      uptodate flag, otherwise it may prevent necessary update of disk
      address in the next read.
      
      This will avoid the potential problem by ensuring disk address lookup
      before reading metadata block even for buffers with the mapped flag.

      nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instance · 027d6404

      will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to
      retain a writable FS-instance for a period.
      
      The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a
      mutex, but they became overkill since the commit
      201913ed.  Furthermore, they caused
      the following lockdep warning because the mutex can be released by a
      task which didn't lock it:
