      cifs: don't allow mmap'ed pages to be dirtied while under writeback (try #3) · ca83ce3d
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
      conflicts fixed up.
      
      If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
      the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
      out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
      calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
      likely reset the TCP connection.
      
      This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
      page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
      writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
      the write call has completed.
      
      With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
      always inline the pages when writing.

      cifs: set ra_pages in backing_dev_info · 2b6c26a0
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      Commit 522440ed made cifs set backing_dev_info on the mapping attached
      to new inodes. This change caused a fairly significant read performance
      regression, as cifs started doing page-sized reads exclusively.
      
      By virtue of the fact that they're allocated as part of cifs_sb_info by
      kzalloc, the ra_pages on cifs BDIs get set to 0, which prevents any
      readahead. This forces the normal read codepaths to use readpage instead
      of readpages causing a four-fold increase in the number of read calls
      with the default rsize.
      
      Fix it by setting ra_pages in the BDI to the same value as that in the
      default_backing_dev_info.

      Allow user names longer than 32 bytes · 8727c8a8
      Steve French 提交于
      We artificially limited the user name to 32 bytes, but modern servers handle
      larger.  Set the maximum length to a reasonable 256, and make the user name
      string dynamically allocated rather than a fixed size in session structure.
      Also clean up old checkpatch warning.

      cifs: replace /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental with a module parm · bdf1b03e
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
      with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
      into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
      of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
      write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
      respond to this by closing down the socket.
      
      Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
      was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
      option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
      
      Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
      its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
      time by configuring modprobe.d.

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.
