      reiserfs: Fix unreachable statement · e0baec1b
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      Stanse found an unreachable statement in reiserfs_ioctl. There is a
      if followed by error assignment and `break' with no braces. Add the
      braces so that we don't break every time, but only in error case,
      so that REISERFS_IOC_SETVERSION actually works when it returns no
      error.

      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The reiserfs ioctl path doesn't need the big kernel lock anymore , now
      that the filesystem synchronizes through its own lock.
      
      We can then turn reiserfs_ioctl() into an unlocked_ioctl callback.

      kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: always lock the ioctl path · ac78a078
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Reiserfs uses the ioctl callback for its file operations, which means
      that its ioctl path is still locked by the bkl, this was synchronizing
      with the rest of the filsystem operations. We have changed that by
      locking it with the new reiserfs lock but we do that only from the
      compat_ioctl callback.
      
      Fix that by locking reiserfs_ioctl() everytime.

      reiserfs: kill-the-BKL · 8ebc4232
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from
      reiserfs and is intended.
      
      It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra:
      
         http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html
      
      The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from
      concurrent write accesses on the filesystem.
      
      Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl:
      
      - It can be acqquired recursively by a same task
      - It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns
      
      The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's
      very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex.
      
      - We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks
        of the code.
      - We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed
        (schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and
        reacquire our new lock explicitly.
        Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other
        resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected
        starvations or deadlocks.
      
      So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a
      specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the
      bkl.
      
      For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the
      superblock information structure.
      
      The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function
      into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to
      lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers.
      
      The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(),
      wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit
      release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can
      safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some.
      Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue
      (aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads.
      
      The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually
      on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the
      flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to
      reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks.
      
      This is fine with the bkl:
      
            T1                       T2
      
      lock_kernel()
          mutex_lock(A)
          unlock_kernel()
          // do something
                                  lock_kernel()
                                      mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
                                      schedule() (and then unlock_kernel())
          lock_kernel()
          mutex_unlock(A)
          ....
      
      This is not fine with a mutex:
      
            T1                       T2
      
      mutex_lock(write)
          mutex_lock(A)
          mutex_unlock(write)
          // do something
                                 mutex_lock(write)
                                    mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
                                    schedule()
      
          mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2
          deadlock
      
      The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write
      lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another
      simulation of the bkl behaviour.
      
      The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held,
      according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking.
      
      Those are:
      
      - reiserfs_remount
      - reiserfs_fill_super
      - reiserfs_put_super
      
      Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks.
      But now we must take care of that with the new locking.
      
      After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now).
      On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead
      of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

      reiserfs: unpack tails on quota files · d5dee5c3
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Quota files cannot have tails because quota_write and quota_read functions do
      not support them.  So far when quota files did have tail, we just refused to
      turn quotas on it.  Sadly this check has been wrong and so there are now
      plenty installations where quota files don't have NOTAIL flag set and so now
      after fixing the check, they suddently fail to turn quotas on.  Since it's
      easy to unpack the tail from kernel, do this from reiserfs_quota_on() which
      solves the problem and is generally nicer to users anyway.

      Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check · 3bd858ab
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
      users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
      where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
      file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
      well, thus violating its semantics.
      [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
      untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
      
      The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
      exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
      covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
      falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

      reiserfs: run scripts/Lindent on reiserfs code · bd4c625c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This was a pure indentation change, using:
      
      	scripts/Lindent fs/reiserfs/*.c include/linux/reiserfs_*.h
      
      to make reiserfs match the regular Linux indentation style.  As Jeff
      Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> writes:
      
       The ReiserFS code is a mix of a number of different coding styles, sometimes
       different even from line-to-line. Since the code has been relatively stable
       for quite some time and there are few outstanding patches to be applied, it
       is time to reformat the code to conform to the Linux style standard outlined
       in Documentation/CodingStyle.
      
       This patch contains the result of running scripts/Lindent against
       fs/reiserfs/*.c and include/linux/reiserfs_*.h. There are places where the
       code can be made to look better, but I'd rather keep those patches separate
       so that there isn't a subtle by-hand hand accident in the middle of a huge
       patch. To be clear: This patch is reformatting *only*.
      
       A number of patches may follow that continue to make the code more consistent
       with the Linux coding style.
      
       Hans wasn't particularly enthusiastic about these patches, but said he
       wouldn't really oppose them either.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
