      fallocate should be a file operation · 2fe17c10
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
      while XFS forced a commit.  Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
      I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
      case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes.  On the
      other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
      uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions.   Given
      that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
      an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
      available that lets us check for O_SYNC.
      
      This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
      and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
      up fallocate for regular files.

      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.

      Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode · ab90911f
      David Howells 提交于
      Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well
      as when it is in Ref-walk mode.  This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call
      d_manage() directly.  d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in
      RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return
      -ECHILD instead).
      
      autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon
      accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.

      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:
      	 [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897

      	 [<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:
      	 [<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b
      	 [<ffffffff8000ccf1>] do_path_lookup+0x2ca/0x2f1

      	 [<ffffffff800e6d55>] do_rmdir+0x77/0xde
      	 [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0
      	 [<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]
