The madvise policy for transparent huge pages is meant to avoid unwanted allocations of transparent huge pages. It allows a policy of disabling the extra memory pressure and effort to arrange for a huge page when it is not needed. DAX by definition never incurs this overhead since it is statically allocated. The policy choice makes even less sense for device-dax which tries to guarantee a given tlb-fault size. Specifically, the following setting: echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled ...violates that guarantee and silently disables all device-dax instances with a 2M or 1G alignment. So, let's avoid that non-obvious side effect by force enabling thp for dax mappings in all cases. It is worth noting that the reason this uses vma_is_dax(), and the resulting header include changes, is that previous attempts to add a VM_DAX flag were NAKd.

Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but also in truncate calls, getattr, etc. The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at nonsensical times. If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug, and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption. This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote has hit the backing store. In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync callers is not really an option. One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here without incurring too much overhead. This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since" value. This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that applications can now use it to determine whether there were any writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was opened in the case of fsync having never been called). Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure. This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success. The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor" is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at fsync time. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Define a set of write life time hints: RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET No hint information set RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE No hints about write life time RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT Data written has a short life time RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM Data written has a medium life time RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG Data written has a long life time RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME Data written has an extremely long life time The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names. Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for setting them as well: F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the underlying inode. F_SET_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the underlying inode. F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the file descriptor. F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the file descriptor. The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error. Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write hints is below. Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint is available. This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer, to guide on-media data placement. /* * writehint.c: get or set an inode write hint */ #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <inttypes.h> #ifndef F_GET_RW_HINT #define F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE 1024 #define F_GET_RW_HINT (F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE + 11) #define F_SET_RW_HINT (F_LINUX_SPECIFIC_BASE + 12) #endif static char *str[] = { "RWF_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG", "RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME" }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { uint64_t hint; int fd, ret; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "%s: file <hint>\n", argv[0]); return 1; } fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); return 2; } if (argc > 2) { hint = atoi(argv[2]); ret = fcntl(fd, F_SET_RW_HINT, &hint); if (ret < 0) { perror("fcntl: F_SET_RW_HINT"); return 4; } } ret = fcntl(fd, F_GET_RW_HINT, &hint); if (ret < 0) { perror("fcntl: F_GET_RW_HINT"); return 3; } printf("%s: hint %s\n", argv[1], str[hint]); close(fd); return 0; } Reviewed-by: NMartin K.

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues. Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality. So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality out of it, into a separate .h and .c file: include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementation Update all header dependencies. This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks, the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for response to fanotify events from userspace process with fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole notification subsystem gets eventually stuck. So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system just locking up elsewhere. This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure (fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list and object pointer to the structure.

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

Before calling write f_ops, call file_start_write() instead of sb_start_write(). Replace {sb,file}_start_write() for {copy,clone}_file_range() and for fallocate(). Beyond correct semantics, this avoids freeze protection to sb when operating on special inodes, such as fallocate() on a blockdev.

Currenly blk_get_backing_dev_info() is not safe to be called when the block device is not open as bdev->bd_disk is NULL in that case. However inode_to_bdi() uses this function and may be call called from flusher worker or other writeback related functions without bdev being open which leads to crashes such as: [113031.075540] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000 [113031.075614] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003692e0 0:mon> t [c0000000fb65f900] c00000000036cb6c writeback_sb_inodes+0x30c/0x590 [c0000000fb65fa10] c00000000036ced4 __writeback_inodes_wb+0xe4/0x150 [c0000000fb65fa70] c00000000036d33c wb_writeback+0x30c/0x450 [c0000000fb65fb40] c00000000036e198 wb_workfn+0x268/0x580 [c0000000fb65fc50] c0000000000f3470 process_one_work+0x1e0/0x590 [c0000000fb65fce0] c0000000000f38c8 worker_thread+0xa8/0x660 [c0000000fb65fd80] c0000000000fc4b0 kthread+0x110/0x130 [c0000000fb65fe30] c0000000000098f0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure would be rather difficult in this case. Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.
