      mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag · 0ee931c4
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

      fscache: fix fscache_objlist_show format processing · ebfddb3d
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      gcc points out a minor bug in the handling of unknown cookie types,
which could result in a string overflow when the integer is copied into
a 3-byte string:

  fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function 'fscache_objlist_show':
  fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:19: error: 'sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
   sprintf(_type, "%02u", cookie->def->type);
                  ^~~~~~
  fs/fscache/object-list.c:265:4: note: 'sprintf' output between 3 and 4 bytes into a destination of size 3

This is currently harmless as no code sets a type other than 0 or 1, but
it makes sense to use snprintf() here to avoid overflowing the array if
that changes.

      xfs: XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE() should be false if no rt device present · b31ff3cd
      由 Richard Wareing 提交于 
      If using a kernel with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and we set the RHINHERIT flag on
a directory in a filesystem that does not have a realtime device and
create a new file in that directory, it gets marked as a real time file.
When data is written and a fsync is issued, the filesystem attempts to
flush a non-existent rt device during the fsync process.

This results in a crash dereferencing a null buftarg pointer in
xfs_blkdev_issue_flush():

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
  IP: xfs_blkdev_issue_flush+0xd/0x20
  .....
  Call Trace:

    SyS_fsync+0x10/0x20
    do_syscall_64+0x4d/0xb0
    entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Setting RT inode flags does not require special privileges so any
unprivileged user can cause this oops to occur.  To reproduce, confirm
kernel is compiled with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and run:

  # mkfs.xfs -f /dev/pmem0
  # mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/test
  # mkdir /mnt/test/foo
  # xfs_io -c 'chattr +t' /mnt/test/foo
  # xfs_io -f -c 'pwrite 0 5m' -c fsync /mnt/test/foo/bar

Or just run xfstests with MKFS_OPTIONS="-d rtinherit=1" and wait.

Kernels built with CONFIG_XFS_RT=n are not exposed to this bug.

      ovl: fix false positive ESTALE on lookup · 939ae4ef
      由 Amir Goldstein 提交于 
      Commit b9ac5c27 ("ovl: hash overlay non-dir inodes by copy up origin")
verifies that the origin lower inode stored in the overlayfs inode matched
the inode of a copy up origin dentry found by lookup.

There is a false positive result in that check when lower fs does not
support file handles and copy up origin cannot be followed by file handle
at lookup time.

The false negative happens when finding an overlay inode in cache on a
copied up overlay dentry lookup. The overlay inode still 'remembers' the
copy up origin inode, but the copy up origin dentry is not available for
verification.

Relax the check in case copy up origin dentry is not available.

Honor IOCB_DSYNC/IOCB_SYNC by setting O_DYSNC/O_SYNC respectively in the

We don't need to sync data or metadata, since fuse_perform_write() does
write-through and the filesystem is responsible for updating file times.

      fuse: allow server to run in different pid_ns · 5d6d3a30
      由 Miklos Szeredi 提交于 
      Commit 0b6e9ea0 ("fuse: Add support for pid namespaces") broke
Sandstorm.io development tools, which have been sending FUSE file
descriptors across PID namespace boundaries since early 2014.

The above patch added a check that prevented I/O on the fuse device file
descriptor if the pid namespace of the reader/writer was different from the
pid namespace of the mounter.  With this change passing the device file
descriptor to a different pid namespace simply doesn't work.  The check was
added because pids are transferred to/from the fuse userspace server in the
namespace registered at mount time.

To fix this regression, remove the checks and do the following:

1) the pid in the request header (the pid of the task that initiated the
filesystem operation) is translated to the reader's pid namespace.  If a
mapping doesn't exist for this pid, then a zero pid is used.  Note: even if
a mapping would exist between the initiator task's pid namespace and the
reader's pid namespace the pid will be zero if either mapping from
initator's to mounter's namespace or mapping from mounter's to reader's
namespace doesn't exist.

2) The lk.pid value in setlk/setlkw requests and getlk reply is left alone.
Userspace should not interpret this value anyway.  Also allow the
setlk/setlkw operations if the pid of the task cannot be represented in the
mounter's namespace (pid being zero in that case).

      f2fs: clear radix tree dirty tag of pages whose dirty flag is cleared · 0abd8e70
      由 Daeho Jeong 提交于 
      On a senario like writing out the first dirty page of the inode
as the inline data, we only cleared dirty flags of the pages, but
didn't clear the dirty tags of those pages in the radix tree.

If we don't clear the dirty tags of the pages in the radix tree, the
inodes which contain the pages will be marked with I_DIRTY_PAGES again
and again, and writepages() for the inodes will be invoked in every
writeback period. As a result, nothing will be done in every
writepages() for the inodes and it will just consume CPU time
meaninglessly.

      dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction · c3ca015f
      由 Mikulas Patocka 提交于 
      Commit abebfbe2 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.

It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().

It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.

Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.
