As Maxim Patlasov pointed out, it's possible to get a dirty page while it's copy is still under writeback, despite fuse_page_mkwrite() doing its thing (direct IO). This could result in two concurrent write request for the same offset, with data corruption if they get mixed up. To prevent this, fuse needs to check and delay such writes. This implementation does this by: 1. check if page is still under writeout, if so create a new, single page secondary request for it 2. chain this secondary request onto the in-flight request 2/a. if a seconday request for the same offset was already chained to the in-flight request, then just copy the contents of the page and discard the new secondary request. This makes sure that for each page will have at most two requests associated with it 3. when the in-flight request finished, send off all secondary requests chained onto it Signed-off-by: NMiklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2): 1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write. 2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page. 3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to writeback. fuse_writepages_fill attaches a new page to FUSE_WRITE request, then releases the original page by end_page_writeback and unlock it. 4) fuse_do_setattr completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex is free. 5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another page->index. 6) fuse_writepages_fill attaches more pages to the request (if any), then fuse_writepages_send is eventually called. It is supposed to crop inarg->size of the request, but it doesn't because i_size has already been extended back. Moving end_page_writeback behind fuse_writepages_send guarantees that __fuse_release_nowrite (called from fuse_do_setattr) will crop inarg->size of the request before write(2) gets the chance to extend i_size.

Doing dput(parent) is not valid in RCU walk mode. In RCU mode it would probably be okay to update the parent flags, but it's actually not necessary most of the time... So only set the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag on the parent when the entry was recently initialized by READDIRPLUS. This is achieved by setting FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS on entries added by READDIRPLUS and only dropping out of RCU mode if this flag is set. FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS is cleared once the FUSE_I_ADVISE_RDPLUS flag is set in the parent.

The patch fixes a race between mmap-ed write and fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE): 1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write. 2) The user performs fallocate(2) with mode == PUNCH_HOLE|KEEP_SIZE and <offset, size> covering the page. 3) Before truncate_pagecache_range call from fuse_file_fallocate, the page goes to write-back. The page is fully processed by fuse_writepage (including end_page_writeback on the page), but fuse_flush_writepages did nothing because fi->writectr < 0. 4) truncate_pagecache_range is called and fuse_file_fallocate is finishing by calling fuse_release_nowrite. The latter triggers processing queued write-back request which will write stale data to the hole soon. Changed in v2 (thanks to Brian for suggestion): - Do not truncate page cache until FUSE_FALLOCATE succeeded. Otherwise, we can end up in returning -ENOTSUPP while user data is already punched from page cache. Use filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead. Changed in v3 (thanks to Miklos for suggestion): - fuse_wait_on_writeback() is prone to livelocks; use fuse_set_nowrite() instead. So far as we need a dirty-page barrier only, fuse_sync_writes() should be enough. - rebased to for-linus branch of fuse.git Signed-off-by: NMaxim Patlasov <mpatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: NMiklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic. This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing things from the LRU. The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular sanity checking.

When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages. In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by fscache. With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the page lock in cifs_write_begin().

It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the two are commonly the same. With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd() system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention anywhere. Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone. But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and real cleanup.

This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic snapshot of the root and cwd information.

This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl() primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected data structure is being made. It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while an exclusive reader lock is taken. This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68dd ("mm: bdi init hooks") added one anyway, and put the initialization in init_rootfs() since that's the first user, leaving it out of init_ramfs() to avoid duplication. But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move the init into the filesystem's init function, add a "once" guard to prevent duplicate initialization, and call the filesystem init from rootfs init.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand. This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range() that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called. This handler works as follows: * Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page) * Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate) * If yes: Return that page * If no: Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page Signed-off-by: NMichael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: NMichael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

A separate one-liner for better documentation. It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec /sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check. However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right: 1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user space modprobe process should report the correct exit code. But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change. 2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller which doesn't make sense. 3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more ugly.

search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto" but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho. We still need to check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break" for !CONFIG_MODULES case. Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry". The code looks much simpler and we do not even need ifdef's, gcc can optimize out the "if (need_retry)" block if !IS_ENABLED().

search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move it into __register_binfmt(). Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.

When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the same. We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once. In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in do_execve_common's error path.
