The inotify debugging code is supposed to verify that the DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED scalability optimisation does not result in notifications getting lost nor extra needless locking generated. Unfortunately there are also some races in the debugging code. And it isn't very good at finding problems anyway. So remove it for now.

Well, it's not especially important that target->d_iname get the contents of dentry->d_iname, but it's important that it get initialized with *something*, otherwise we're just exposing some random piece of memory to anyone who reads the link at /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> for the deleted file, when it's still held open by someone. I've run a test program that copies a short (<36 character) name ontop of a long (>=36 character) name and see that the first time I run it, without this patch, I get unpredicatable results out of /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>.

New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy. On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some dentries for removal. However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be inserted *before* our dentries. This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover, for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity. We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries. To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end of LRU list. Signed-off-by: NDenis V.

This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation.

Teach the dentry slab shrinker to aggressively shrink parent dentries when shrinking the dentry cache. This is done to attempt to improve the situation where the dentry slab cache gets a lot of internal fragmentation due to pages containing directory dentries.

The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000. These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem. However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate() will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long time. This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826 The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing it one at a time. Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper function d_kill(). shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm.

This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.

Here is a bugfix to d_path. First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name. It gets this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name from the following pathname component. This is demonstrated by the attached test case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir" with the bug. The correct result would be "getcwd returned d_path-bug/subdir". It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part of the result of d_path in the first place. On the other hand, what the unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful hints to users, and so that seems okay. Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce a path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths. The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping pathname components. It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd(). Grabbing the dcache_lock can then also be moved into __d_path(). The patch also makes sure that paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the root and rootmnt. The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames. This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.

However as far as I see this comment is not correct: when we cannot take s_umount rw_semaphore (for example because it was taken in do_remount) this dentry is already extracted from dentry_unused list and we do not add it into the list again. Therefore dentry will not be found by prune_dcache() and shrink_dcache_sb() and will leave in memory very long time until the partition will be unmounted.

The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

There is a possible race in d_splice_alias. Though __d_find_alias(inode, 1) will only return a dentry with DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set, it is possible for it to get cleared before the BUG_ON, and it is is not possible to lock against that. There are a couple of problems here. Firstly, the code doesn't match the comment. The comment describes a 'disconnected' dentry as being IS_ROOT as well as DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, however there is not testing of IS_ROOT anythere. A dentry is marked DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when allocated with d_alloc_anon, and remains DCACHE_DISCONNECTED while a path is built up towards the root. So a dentry can have a valid name and a valid parent and even grandparent, but will still be DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until a path to the root is created. Once the path to the root is complete, everything in the path gets DCACHE_DISCONNECTED cleared. So the fact that DCACHE_DISCONNECTED isn't enough to say that a dentry is free to be spliced in with a given name. This can only be allowed if the dentry does not yet have a name, so the IS_ROOT test is needed too. However even adding that test to __d_find_alias isn't enough. As d_splice_alias drops dcache_lock before calling d_move to perform the splice, it could race with another thread calling d_splice_alias to splice the inode in with a different name in a different part of the tree (in the case where a file has hard links). So that splicing code is only really safe for directories (as we know that directories only have one link). For directories, the caller of d_splice_alias will be holding i_mutex on the (unique) parent so there is no room for a race. A consequence of this is that a non-directory will never benefit from being spliced into a pre-exisiting dentry, but that isn't a problem. It is perfectly OK for a non-directory to have multiple dentries, some anonymous, some not. And the comment for d_splice_alias says that it only happens for directories anyway.

The attached patch adds a new directory cache management function that prepares a disconnected anonymous function to be connected into the dentry tree. The anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry. The following changes were made in [try #2]: (*) d_materialise_dentry() now switches the parentage of the two nodes around correctly when one or other of them is self-referential. The following changes were made in [try #7]: (*) d_instantiate_unique() has had the interior part split out as function __d_instantiate_unique(). Callers of this latter function must be holding the appropriate locks. (*) _d_rehash() has been added as a wrapper around __d_rehash() to call it with the most obvious hash list (the one from the name). d_rehash() now calls _d_rehash(). (*) d_materialise_dentry() is now __d_materialise_dentry() and is static. (*) d_materialise_unique() added to perform the combination of d_find_alias(), d_materialise_dentry() and d_add_unique() that the NFS client was doing twice, all within a single dcache_lock critical section. This reduces the number of times two different spinlocks were being accessed. The following further changes were made: (*) Add the dentries onto their parents d_subdirs lists.

likely profiling shows that the following is a miss. After boot: [+- ] Type | # True | # False | Function:Filename@Line +unlikely | 1074| 0 prune_dcache()@:fs/dcache.c@409 After a bonnie++ run: +unlikely | 66716| 19584 prune_dcache()@:fs/dcache.c@409 So remove it.

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.

The race is that the shrink_dcache_memory shrinker could get called while a filesystem is being unmounted, and could try to prune a dentry belonging to that filesystem. If it does, then it will call in to iput on the inode while the dentry is no longer able to be found by the umounting process. If iput takes a while, generic_shutdown_super could get all the way though shrink_dcache_parent and shrink_dcache_anon and invalidate_inodes without ever waiting on this particular inode. Eventually the superblock gets freed anyway and if the iput tried to touch it (which some filesystems certainly do), it will lose. The promised "Self-destruct in 5 seconds" doesn't lead to a nice day. The race is closed by holding s_umount while calling prune_one_dentry on someone else's dentry. As a down_read_trylock is used, shrink_dcache_memory will no longer try to prune the dentry of a filesystem that is being unmounted, and unmount will not be able to start until any such active prune_one_dentry completes. This requires that prune_dcache *knows* which filesystem (if any) it is doing the prune on behalf of so that it can be careful of other filesystems. shrink_dcache_memory isn't called it on behalf of any filesystem, and so is careful of everything. shrink_dcache_anon is now passed a super_block rather than the s_anon list out of the superblock, so it can get the s_anon list itself, and can pass the superblock down to prune_dcache. If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other thread will be removing that dentry soon. To try to make sure that some work gets done, a limited number of dnetries which are untouchable are skipped over while choosing the dentry to work on. I believe this race was first found by Kirill Korotaev.

It is very common to hash a dentry and then to call lookup. If we take fs specific hash functions into account the full hash logic can get ugly. Further full_name_hash as an inline function is almost 100 bytes on x86 so having a non-inline choice in some cases can measurably decrease code size. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

IN_DELETE events are no longer generated for the removal of a file from a watched directory. This seems to be a result of clearing DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED in d_delete() directly before calling fsnotify_nameremove(). Assuming the flag doesn't need to be cleared before dentry_iput(), this should do the trick.
