      ... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers
      (and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt).
      
      We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return
      to userland (or exit).  Note that for fput() from a kernel
      thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but
      sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before
      you do anything else.  There are two mechanisms for that -
      a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit
      __fput_sync().  Both should be used with care (as was the
      case for fput() from kernel threads all along).  See comments
      in fs/file_table.c for details.

      New kind of open files - "location only". · 1abf0c71
      Al Viro 提交于
      New flag for open(2) - O_PATH.  Semantics:
      	* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
      as far as filesystem is concerned.
      	* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
      fail with -EBADF.  Exceptions are:
      	1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
      		close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
      		fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
      		fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
      	2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
      		check if descriptor is open
      	3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
      		points of pathname resolution
      	* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
      posix locks.
      	* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
      no permission checks are applied to the file itself.  Of course,
      giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
      the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
      a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).
      
      fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
      fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them.  That protects
      existing code from dealing with those things.
      
      There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
      one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
      way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
      is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

      get rid of the magic around f_count in aio · d7065da0
      Al Viro 提交于
      __aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount.  What
      it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
      done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
      work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
      last one.  Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
      hit 0, everything is fine.  Otherwise it keeps a pointer
      to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
      work do __fput() on it.
      
      Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
      instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test().  IOW, decrement it
      only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
      if it was.  And use normal fput() in delayed work.
      
      I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
      fput_atomic().  Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
      do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
      it had been able to do that.  aio.c converted to it, __fput()
      use is gone.  req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
      now.  And __fput() became static.

      r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's · ce8d2cdf
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
      
      This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
      process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
      the number of writers to any given mount.
      
      This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
      writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
      have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
      somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
      tree for several years.
      
      It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
      read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
      to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
      updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
      working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
      bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
      three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
      file on the r/o mount.
      
      This patch:
      
      Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
      file's.
      
      This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
      filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
      may patch.
      
      Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

      O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTS · 4a19542e
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received
      through Unix domain sockets.
      
      The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg
      and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag.  I think this bit
      is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better.
      
      This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv.  These functions cannot
      be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than
      the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations.
      
      The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC.  It has to
      remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot
      live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported.
      
      Here's a test program to make sure the code works.  It's so much longer than

      [PATCH] fdtable: Implement new pagesize-based fdtable allocator · 5466b456
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
      expanding fdtable file descriptor entries.  The main focus is on the fdarray,
      as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.
      
      The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
      increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
      size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
      larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
      considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
      chosen:
      
          pagesize / 4
          pagesize / 2
          pagesize      <- memory allocator switch point
          pagesize * 2
          pagesize * 4
          ...etc...
      
      Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
      loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
      straightline code.
      
      Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
      of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
      fdsets in a single swoop.  Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
      than the fdarray.  The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
      fdset memory allocation.

      [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field · 4fd45812
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
      being expanded).  When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
      to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
      or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
      
      Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
      it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can
      distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
      embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.

      2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
         64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the
         close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields.  This save some ram (248
         bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files.  D-Cache
         footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.
      
      3) Reduce size of allocated fdset.  Currently two full pages are
         allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much.  The
         minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.
      
      UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
      only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
      (next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 ..  2] being in the
      same cache line)

      [PATCH] fix file counting · 529bf6be
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
      performance difference on kernbench.  Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
      
      The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
      freeing.  For scalability reasons, file accounting was
      constructor/destructor based.  This meant that nr_files was decremented
      only when the object was removed from the slab cache.  This is susceptible
      to slab fragmentation.  With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
      freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
      with a very fragmented slab -
      
      llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
      587730  0       758844
      
      At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache.  The following
      patch I fixes this problem.
      
      This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
      Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
      accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api.  In the sysctl handler for
      nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
      
      Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
      inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

      [PATCH] files: files struct with RCU · ab2af1f5
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side
      and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter.  The
      updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and
      setting files->fdt to point to the new structure.  The fdtable structure is
      protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup.  For fd arrays/sets that
      are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep.  A
      global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.
      If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer
      queueing of that work.
      
      Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using
      explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()
      premitives instead.  This required that the fd information is kept in a
      separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.

      [PATCH] files: break up files struct · badf1662
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
      be updated atomically.  Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
      barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure.  This
      patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
      structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct.  It also changes all
      the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro.  Subsequent
      applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
