      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

      	 [<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().

      fs: Use rename lock and RCU for multi-step operations · 949854d0
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The remaining usages for dcache_lock is to allow atomic, multi-step read-side
      operations over the directory tree by excluding modifications to the tree.
      Also, to walk in the leaf->root direction in the tree where we don't have
      a natural d_lock ordering.
      
      This could be accomplished by taking every d_lock, but this would mean a
      huge number of locks and actually gets very tricky.
      
      Solve this instead by using the rename seqlock for multi-step read-side
      operations, retry in case of a rename so we don't walk up the wrong parent.
      Concurrent dentry insertions are not serialised against.  Concurrent deletes
      are tricky when walking up the directory: our parent might have been deleted
      when dropping locks so also need to check and retry for that.
      
      We can also use the rename lock in cases where livelock is a worry (and it
      is introduced in subsequent patch).

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID · 54ceac45
      David Howells 提交于
      The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
      server and FSID over the same protocol.
      
      It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
      real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
      starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
      inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.
      
      We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
      some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
      activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
      root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
      point.
      
      Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
      indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
      directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:
      
       (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.
      
           With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
           the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
           anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
           inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
           have ghost inodes or something).
      
           With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
           from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
           actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.
      
       (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.
      
           If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:
      
      	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
      	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn
      
           We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
           but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
           directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
           example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
           /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
           the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.
      
           This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
           can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
           it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
           hardlinked directory.
      
           With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
           for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
           place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.
      
      This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
      inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
      number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
      used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).
      
      This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
      can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
      separate superblocks to the same cache file.
      
      Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
      be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
      cache.
      
      This patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
           its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
           been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.
      
           All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
           connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
           remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.
      
       (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:
      
           (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.
      
           (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
           	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
           	 version.
      
           (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
           	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
           	 initialisation from two mounts.
      
           (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
           	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
           	 are given the root FH in advance.
      
           (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.
      
           (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
           	 retrieved on the root FH.
      
           (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
           	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.
      
           (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.
      
           (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
           	 discarded.
      
           (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.
      
           (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.
      
       (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
           returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
           roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
           the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).
      
           The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
           permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
           avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
           directory.
      
       (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
           is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.
      
       (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.
      
       (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
           statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
           dummy).

      David Howells 提交于
      Move the rpc_ops from the nfs_server struct to the nfs_client struct as they're

      NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c · f7b422b1
      David Howells 提交于
      As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached
      patch splits it up into a number of files:
      
       (*) fs/nfs/inode.c
      
           Strictly inode specific functions.
      
       (*) fs/nfs/super.c
      
           Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones
           and referrals.  The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a
           separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as
           there're so many common bits.
      
       (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c
      
           Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here.
      
       (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c
      
           NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous
           file).  This file is conditionally compiled.
      
       (*) fs/nfs/internal.h
      
           Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from
           fs/nfs/inode.c.
      
           Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those
           files they were moved from now includes this file.
      
      For the most part, the functions have not been changed, only some multiplexor
      functions have changed significantly.
      
      I've also:
      
       (*) Added some extra banner comments above some functions.
      
       (*) Rearranged the function order within the files to be more logical and
           better grouped (IMO), though someone may prefer a different order.
      
       (*) Reduced the number of #ifdefs in .c files.
      
       (*) Added missing __init and __exit directives.

      NFSv4: Follow a referral · 6b97fd3d
      Manoj Naik 提交于
      Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
      Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
      later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
      processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
      until they are actually followed or traversed.
