      module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases. · 69116f27
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
      an unsigned int).  That's going away.
      
      A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
      will set it to 0 or 1.  This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
      'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
      might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").
      
      Use a new 'bint' parser for them.
      
      (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
      it's also exposed via sysctl.)

      fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers · 02c24a82
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
      in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
      the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
      file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
      ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
      sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
      individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

      fs: kill i_alloc_sem · bd5fe6c5
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore.  It's the last one that may
      be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by
      real exclusion.  It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O
      requests to finish before starting a truncate.
      
      Replace it with a hand-grown construct:
      
       - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can
         simply fall way
       - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode
         that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests.  Truncate can't
         proceed as long as it's non-zero
       - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using
         wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags
       - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for
         it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex
         (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation.
      
      This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a
      struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit
      system).

      NTFS: Fix invalid pointer dereference in ntfs_mft_record_alloc(). · af5eb745
      Anton Altaparmakov 提交于
      In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with
      map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on
      error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m
      now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the
      error code as if it were a pointer.
      
      The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value
      thus preserving the original @m for later use.  This is a backport from
      the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested...
      
      Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it
      in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).

      fs: icache RCU free inodes · fa0d7e3d
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
      
      - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
        permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
      - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
        to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
        the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
      - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
      - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
        page lock to follow page->mapping.
      
      The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
      creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
      reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
      kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
      
      In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
      during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
      not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
      
      The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
      however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
      so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
      real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
      doubt it will be a problem.

      BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super · db719222
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
      It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
      get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
      
      I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
      do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
      any more.
      
      do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
      and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
      from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
      through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
      afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
      follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
      get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
      fill_super function.
      
      Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
      low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
      
      [arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
             don't use it elsewhere]

      remove inode_setattr · 1025774c
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
      moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
      can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
      
      In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
      so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
      
       spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
       btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
       ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
      
      In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
      which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

      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.
