      sanitize vfsmount refcounting changes · f03c6599
      Al Viro 提交于
      Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count
      and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute
      to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm
      ones.
      
      Accounting rules for longterm count:
      	* 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt
      	* 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt
      	* 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns
      	* decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive
      
      That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the
      final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules
      above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm.
      If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know
      that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement
      percpu mnt_count.  Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and
      do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count.
      
      For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm();
      namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold
      vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where
      we need to manipulate mnt_longterm.
      
      Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back
      to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need
      to care about two kinds of references, etc.  And we get to keep
      the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

      Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount() · ea5b778a
      David Howells 提交于
      Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be
      added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself.  follow_automount() will then
      do the addition.
      
      This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the
      new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer.  The problem
      with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and
      the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty.
      
      To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a
      refcount of (at least) 2.  One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally.
      In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to
      do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we
      have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it.
      
      d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by
      calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if
      this mechanism is to be used.  The vfsmount will be unlinked from the
      expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails.
      
      This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount
      flags from the parent vfsmount.

      Add a dentry op to allow processes to be held during pathwalk transit · cc53ce53
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it
      sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories
      during a pathwalk.  The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag
      (DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT).
      
      The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and
      which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged
      directory.  This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting
      its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it
      or mounted upon it.
      
      The ->d_manage() dentry operation:
      
      	int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here);
      
      takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag
      indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or
      do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint.
      
      It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way;
      -EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or
      automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to
      the user.
      
      ->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true
      and no other locks held, so it may sleep.  However, if mounting_here is true,
      it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter
      directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace.
      
      Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first
      on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to
      automount upon it.
      
      follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the
      filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs).
      
      A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other
      callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS
      and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use
      d_automount()).  The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate.  It
      also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code
      (with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage().  follow_down()
      ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them.
      
      __follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with
      DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to
      sleep.  It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have
      that determine whether to abort or not itself.  That would allow the autofs
      daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode.
      
      Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't
      required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be
      invoked.  It can always be set again when necessary.
      
      ==========================
      WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS
      ==========================
      
      Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to
      trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called
      with i_mutex held.
      
      autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so
      can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(),
      since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it.  This
      means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function
      before it calls the daemon.
      
      The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to
      validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is
      expired and needs cleaning up:
      
      	mkdir         S ffffffff8014e05a     0 32580  24956
      	Call Trace:

      	 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4
      
      versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't
      because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock:
      
      	automount     D ffffffff8014e05a     0 32581      1              32561
      	Call Trace:

      	 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0
      
      which means that the system is deadlocked.
      
      This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes
      ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without
      risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in
      d_automount().

      Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link() · 9875cf80
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than
      abusing the follow_link() inode operation.  The operation is keyed off a new
      dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT).
      
      This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment
      automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the
      pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics.
      
      The ->d_automount() dentry operation:
      
      	struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint);
      
      takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to
      provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted.  If successful, it
      should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added
      to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar).  If there's a collision with
      another automount attempt, NULL should be returned.  If the directory specified
      by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon,
      -EISDIR should be returned.  In any other case, an error code should be
      returned.
      
      The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep.  At
      this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode.
      
      Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is
      added to handle mountpoints.  It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was
      set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many
      symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without
      mounting and 0 if successful.  The path will be updated to point to the mounted
      filesystem if a successful automount took place.
      
      __follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic
      (especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()).  This handles transits from
      directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over
      mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch).
      
      __follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an
      automount point with nothing mounted on it.
      
      follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them
      whilst following "..".
      
      I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it
      here.  It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(),
      tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory,
      or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname.  If they do a stat(), however,
      they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW.
      
      I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their
      inodes as automount points.  This flag is automatically propagated to the
      dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate().  This saves NFS and could
      save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary.  It would be
      preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally
      have access to the inode.
      
      [AV: fixed breakage in case if __follow_mount_rcu() fails and nameidata_drop_rcu()
      succeeds in RCU case of do_lookup(); we need to fall through to non-RCU case after
      that, rather than just returning with ungrabbed *path]

      vfs: pass struct file to do_truncate on O_TRUNC opens (try #2) · e1181ee6
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      When a file is opened with O_TRUNC, the truncate processing is handled
      by handle_truncate(). This function however doesn't receive any info
      about the newly instantiated filp, and therefore can't pass that info
      along so that the setattr can use it.
      
      This makes NFSv4 misbehave. The client does an open and gets a valid
      stateid, and then doesn't use that stateid on the subsequent truncate.
      It uses the zero-stateid instead. Most servers ignore this fact and
      just do the truncate anyway, but some don't like it (notably, RHEL4).
      
      It seems more correct that since we have a fully instantiated file at
      the time that handle_truncate is called, that we pass that along so
      that the truncate operation can properly use it.

      fs: scale mntget/mntput · b3e19d92
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
      We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
      which often go to the same mount point.
      
      The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
      scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
      was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
      that may have taken a reference count.
      
      We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
      distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
      frequently.
      
      - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
        for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).
      
      - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
        is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
        a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
        particular CPU which requires more locking).
      
      - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
        the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
        keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
        and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.
      
      This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
      and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
      a short reference.
      
      This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
      subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
      in them.
      
      This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
      per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
      and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
      and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

      fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path · fb045adb
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
      flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
      This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
      situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
      have d_op but not the particular operation.
      
      Patched with:
      
      git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

      fs: rcu-walk for path lookup · 31e6b01f
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the
      ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current
      algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk.
      
      This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element,
      significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline
      bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability.
      
      The overall design is like this:
      * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk.
      * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring
        of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are
        not required for dentry persistence.
      * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can
        access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk.
      * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt
        refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount
        lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and
        down the path.
      * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode,
        so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its
        members have changed.
      * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent
        sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent
        during the path walk.
      * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for
        limited things.
      * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk.
      * i_op can be loaded.
      
      When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence,
      and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks
      are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does
      not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the
      lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the
      path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk.
      
      Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted
      where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take
      a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if
      we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup
      using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk
      for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to
      gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root).
      
      The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are:
      * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element)
      * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs
      * dentries with d_revalidate
      * Following links
      
      In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It
      may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.
      
      Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the
      very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated.

      fs: brlock vfsmount_lock
      
      Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever
      modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when
      performing mount hash lookups.
      
      A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take
      the heavy vfsmount write-lock.
      
      The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though
      code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be
      much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting
      in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where
      scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock).
      
      The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node
      Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark
      (mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it
      took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

      fs: remove extra lookup in __lookup_hash
      
      Optimize lookup for create operations, where no dentry should often be
      common-case. In cases where it is not, such as unlink, the added overhead
      is much smaller than the removed.
      
      Also, move comments about __d_lookup racyness to the __d_lookup call site.
      d_lookup is intuitive; __d_lookup is what needs commenting. So in that same
      vein, add kerneldoc comments to __d_lookup and clean up some of the comments:
      
      - We are interested in how the RCU lookup works here, particularly with
        renames. Make that explicit, and point to the document where it is explained
        in more detail.
      - RCU is pretty standard now, and macros make implementations pretty mindless.
        If we want to know about RCU barrier details, we look in RCU code.
      - Delete some boring legacy comments because we don't care much about how the
        code used to work, more about the interesting parts of how it works now. So
        comments about lazy LRU may be interesting, but would better be done in the
        LRU or refcount management code.

      fs: fix do_lookup false negative
      
      In do_lookup, if we initially find no dentry, we take the directory i_mutex and
      re-check the lookup. If we find a dentry there, then we revalidate it if
      needed. However if that revalidate asks for the dentry to be invalidated, we
      return -ENOENT from do_lookup. What should happen instead is an attempt to
      allocate and lookup a new dentry.
      
      This is probably not noticed because it is rare. It is only reached if a
      concurrent create races in first (in which case, the dentry probably won't be
      invalidated anyway), or if the racy __d_lookup has failed due to a
      false-negative (which is very rare).
      
      Fix this by removing code and have it use the normal reval path.

      VFS: fix recent breakage of FS_REVAL_DOT · 176306f5
      Neil Brown 提交于
      Commit 1f36f774 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics.
      
      In particular, before this patch, the command
         ls -l
      in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server
      had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir.
      After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until
      the cached attributes for the directory time out.
      
      The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by
      do_last when "." is being looked-up.
      link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN
      is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation.
      
      The following patch restores the original behaviour.

      Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commit · d83c49f3
      Al Viro 提交于
      1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
      we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
      shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on.  To fix it
      right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
      upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
      i_mutex on the inode in question.  Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
      in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
      in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD.  Setting S_DEAD
      is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
      getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
      prevention.
      
      2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
      the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint.  Fixed.
      
      3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
      right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
      one.  Noticed and fixed.
