      fs: Readd the fs module aliases. · fa7614dd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
      prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
      was in request_module.  It turns out I was wrong.  At least mkinitcpio
      in Arch linux uses these aliases.
      
      So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.
      
      Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
      kernel does.  So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
      problems.  However that day is not today.

      fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules. · 7f78e035
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
      and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
      to match.
      
      A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
      that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
      users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
      
      Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
      modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
      making things safer with no real cost.
      
      Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
      filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
      with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
      well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
      
      This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
      name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
      would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
      cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
      autofs4.
      
      This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
      module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
      people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
      the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
      
      After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
      particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
      making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
      module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
      without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
      module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
      Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
      filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
      namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
      which most filesystems do not set today.

      ext4: reclaim extents from extent status tree · 74cd15cd
      Zheng Liu 提交于
      Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
      extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
      in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
      memory.
      
      Here we maintain a lru list in super_block.  When the extent status of
      an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
      of the list.  The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
      cleared.  In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
      cached objects in extent status tree.  Here only written/unwritten/hole
      extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
      fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it.  The counter will be
      increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
      extent is freed.
      
      In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
      the status tree.  ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
      to count the number of reclaimable extents.  ext4_es_shrink() tries to
      reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree.  The
      inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

      ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start() · 9924a92a
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
      long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
      context information for logging purposes.
      
      The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
      
         T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
         EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
         echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
         echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
      
         ./run-my-fs-benchmark
      
         cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
      
      This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
      longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
      time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
      fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
      trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
      1.2 seconds:
      
      postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

      ext4: ensure Inode flags consistency are checked at build time · 9a4c8019
      Carlos Maiolino 提交于
      
      Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g.
      ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored
      in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL.
      
      It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at
      run-time.
      
      Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but,
      there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a
      run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum
      type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in
      comparing constants at build-time.
      
      enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according
      to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf 
      sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an
      enumeration type at build time

      ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR · 939da108
      Tao Ma 提交于
      Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan
      confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their
      product.  David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all
      Android kernels that use ext4."  So it seems OK for us.
      
      And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr,
      and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while
      xattr disabled.  So I think we should add inline data and remove this
      config option in the same release.
      
      [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which
        isn't much in the grand scheme of things.  Since no one seems to be
        testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on
        balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is
        effectively always enabled. -- tytso ]
