      [PATCH] dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write · 65b8291c
      Zach Brown 提交于
      This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid
      Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337.
      
      dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that
      subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data.  If this fails
      the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by
      returning EIO.
      
      Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would
      clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c.
      Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed
      memory, usually oopsing.
      
      This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that
      we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return
      -EIOCBQUEUED.
      
      There is a compromise here.  During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed
      pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user
      provided them for the source buffer.  This is a crazy thing to do, but we
      can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again.
      The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation
      fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED.
      
      This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and
      buffered ordered writes.  Within minutes ext3 would see a race between
      ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and
      would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box.  The test can be found
      in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest.  After this
      patch the test passes.

      [PATCH] knfsd: stop NFSD writes from being broken into lots of little writes to filesystem · 29dbb3fc
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of
      1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together.
      
      Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem
      one at a time, so an e.g.  32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page
      writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages
      - wasted effort.
      
      generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as
      it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks.  When writing from
      kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so
      generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into
      little pieces.
      
      This patch avoids the splitting when  get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is
      from NFSd.

      [PATCH] dio: only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED · 8459d86a
      Zach Brown 提交于
      The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
      function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core.  direct_io_worker() has
      historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
      codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case.  It did this by trying to keep
      conditionals in sync.  direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
      going to call aio_complete().  It would reverse the test and wait and free the
      dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
      
      Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong.  'ret' could be a negative
      errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
      finished_one_bio().  direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
      wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called.  In the
      future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
      would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
      
      The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
      to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
      that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
      direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
      drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
      aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
      direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
      by waiting for bios to drain.  It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
      partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
      errors during submission.
      
      This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
      aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio.  Instead we return the return
      code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete().  This is
      purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
      aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
      
      Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
      no longer have to translate for it.  XFS needs to be careful not to free
      resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
       We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
      aio+dio writes.

      [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups · 543ade1f
      Badari Pulavarty 提交于
      This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
      Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.
      
      In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
      do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
      to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
      
      Final available interfaces:
      
      generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
      generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
      generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler
      
      __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
