      Fix sget() race with failing mount · 7a4dec53
      Al Viro 提交于
      If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
      grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount.  That's
      fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
      However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
      the halfway-created superblock.  deactivate_locked_super()
      called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
      we are holding another active reference to it.
      
      What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
      set up.  Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
      MS_ACTIVE quite fit.  Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
      new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb().  If that flag
      isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
      superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
      just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).
      
      Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
      check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
      and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
      instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

      vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call · 4f331f01
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev().
      
      When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls
      close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding
      s_umount.  However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during
      __invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during
      blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock.
      
      This condition doesn't trigger frequently.  For this condition to be
      visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as
      __invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS
      must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while
      the FS is still mounted.
      
      Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().

      fs: fix superblock iteration race · 57439f87
      npiggin@suse.de 提交于
      list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent
      modification of the list. 6754af64 introduced a race in sb walking.
      
      list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in
      the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently
      follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next
      for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is
      dropped, n may be deleted.

      quota: move unmount handling into the filesystem · e0ccfd95
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting
      filesystems.  This means filesystems with their own quota handling
      can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff
      and an unount.  Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling
      into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling.
      
      Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after
      a sync_filesystem.  But this is fine as the quota code does all its
      writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

      The trace above is totally reproducible by doing a cross-directory
      rename on an ecryptfs directory.
      
      The issue seems to be that sys_renameat() does lock_rename() then calls
      into the filesystem; if the filesystem is ecryptfs, then
      ecryptfs_rename() again does lock_rename() on the lower filesystem, and
      lockdep can't tell that the two s_vfs_rename_mutexes are different.  It
      seems an annotation like the following is sufficient to fix this (it
      does get rid of the lockdep trace in my simple tests); however I would
      like to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the locking, hence the CC
      list...

      Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for the fsfreeze ioctl · 18e9e510
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then
      letting it do all the work.  But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't
      really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the
      super.  In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's
      for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky.
      This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt
      with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism.  So instead of
      populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs
      freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super.  These just take the
      super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work.  It's basically
      just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev.  I've then converted freeze_bdev over to
      use the new super helpers.  I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified
      everything continues to work the same as before.
      
      The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if
      the fs is already frozen.  I thought this was a better solution than adding a
      freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to
      suggestions.  Thanks,

      fs: improve remount,ro vs buffercache coherency · d208bbdd
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro.
      
      Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption
      trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image.  Some filesystems modify
      their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg.  they may
      use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories
      in pagecache, etc).  Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev
      via their own mappings.
      
      These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg.  via /dev/bdev)
      and never have been.  However there could be a reasonable expectation that
      after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should
      subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications.
      
      So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a
      coherency point.
      
      The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd
      didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via
      mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its
      buffercache.  But the same problem has always affected other "normal"
      block devices, including loop.

      vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t · 42cb56ae
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
      exist on the filesystem.  It's declared as an unsigned long long.
      
      Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
      every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
      anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.  There are places in the kernel
      that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value.  If it's set too large then this
      cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.
      
      Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead.  That should help eliminate the
      temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.
      
      Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
      set s_maxbytes too large.  Eventually we can either convert this to a
      BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
      that it's a signed value.

      writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data · 03ba3782
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
      pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
      threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
      non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
      behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
      for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
      does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
      during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
      vmstat:

      A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
      SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
      the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
      manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
      writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
      writes.
      
      A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
      adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

      writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info · 66f3b8e2
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
      have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
      ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
      Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.

      Make allocation of anon devices cheaper · c63e09ec
      Al Viro 提交于
      Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that
      for each n < start n is known to be busy.  Allocation can
      skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns
      n, we can set start to n + 1.  Freeing below start sets
      start to what we'd just freed.
      
      Of course, it still sucks if we do something like
      	free 0
      	allocate
      	allocate
      in a loop - still O(n^2) time.  However, on saner loads it
      improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth
      the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case
      behaviour.
