      netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock · c76562b6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking
      v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic.
      
      When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
      create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
      with swapon.  In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if
      required then swapping over the network is considered.  The two likely
      scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the
      form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin
      clients.
      
      The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
      Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option.  There is no
      guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux
      or supports NBD.  However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are
      users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance
      concern.  Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping
      over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel.
      
      Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP.
      
      Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC
      	reserves.
      
      Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages.
      	For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for
      	file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying
      	swap file for swap cache pages.
      
      Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem
      	to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon
      	successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and
      	the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing
      	and ->readpage for reading in swap pages.
      
      Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting
      	filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that
      	the default handlers have different information to what
      	is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the
      	code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new
      	address_space operations.
      
      Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be
      	translated to struct pages and pinned for IO.
      
      Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping
      	the pages before calling the direct_IO handler.
      
      Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary.
      
      Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS.
      
      Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations
      	for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage
      	kernel addresses.
      
      Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO
      	where appropriate.
      
      Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using
      	swap-over-NFS.
      
      With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an
      NFS filesystem.  Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test
      taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was
      backed by NBD.
      
      This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock
      
      It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data
      that we're over the global rmem limit.  This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC
      buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running,
      which is needed to reduce the buffered data.
      
      Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit.  Once
      this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
      SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
      If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid
      accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

      net/caif: Use pr_fmt · b31fa5ba
      Joe Perches 提交于
      This patch standardizes caif message logging prefixes.
      
      Add #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ":%s(): " fmt, __func__
      Add missing "\n"s to some logging messages
      Convert pr_warning to pr_warn
      
      This changes the logging message prefix from CAIF: to caif:
      for all uses but caif_socket.c and chnl_net.c.  Those now use
      their filename without extension.
