      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.

      fsnotify: move events should indicate the event was on a child · ff52cc21
      Eric Paris 提交于
      fsnotify tells its listeners explicitly when an event happened on the given
      inode verses on the child of the given inode.  (see __fsnotify_parent)
      However, the semantics of fsnotify_move() are such that we deliver events
      directly to the two parent directories in question (old_dir and new_dir)
      directly without using the __fsnotify_parent() call.  fsnotify should be
      adding FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD for the notifications to these parents.

      fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes · 3be25f49
      Eric Paris 提交于
      This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
      These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
      and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
      them to the inode's list.
      
      dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
      inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
      has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
      use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
      it had NO interest in.

      fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend · 90586523
      Eric Paris 提交于
      fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification.  fsnotify does
      not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
      needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify.  fsnotify
      can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming
      fanotify.  fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for
      some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to
      those groups for processing.
      
      fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size
      of an inode.  Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had
      
              unsigned long           i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */
              struct dnotify_struct   *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */
              struct list_head        inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */
              struct mutex            inotify_mutex;  /* protects the watches list
      
      But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just
      
              __u32                   i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */
              struct hlist_head       i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */
      
      That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits.  We used that
      much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set.
      
      fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today.
      inotify locking is incredibly complex.  See 8f7b0ba1 as an example of
      what's been busted since inception.  inotify needs to know internal semantics
      of superblock destruction and unmounting to function.  The inode pinning and
      vfs contortions are horrible.
      
      no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks.  This means things like
      f04b30de which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to
      GFP_NOFS can be reverted.  There are no longer any allocation rules when using
      or implementing your own fsnotify listener.
      
      fsnotify paves the way for fanotify.  In brief fanotify is a notification
      mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor
      to the object in question.  This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic.
      Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for
      TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in
      mind.  The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used
      to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system.  The desktop
      search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number
      of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more
      than a limited number of specific files are of interest.  fanotify can provide
      for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV
      vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table,
      LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today.  With this patch series
      fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code.
      Almost all of which is the socket based user interface.
      
      This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement
      dnotify and inotify_user.  Patches exist and will be sent soon after
      acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement
      fanotify.

      inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes · ece95912
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
      changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:
      
      Suppose you have the following directory structure
      
          foo/test
          bar/
      
      and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
      IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
      However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
      inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
      events).
      
      Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
      thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.
      
      The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
      count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
      when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
      far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
      sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

      [PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentry · c32ccd87
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused,
      but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the
      system.  Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a
      512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes.
      
      Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not
      its parent inode has a watch on it.  Event queueing to parent will skip
      taking locks if this flag is cleared.  Setting and clearing of this flag on
      all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race
      cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check.
      
      The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been
      added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.
