When pruning a dentry, its ancestor dentry can also be pruned. But
the ancestor dentry does not go through dput(), so it does not get
put on the dentry LRU. Hence associating d_prune with removing the
dentry from the LRU is the wrong.

The fix is remove dentry_lru_prune(). Call file system's d_prune()
callback directly when pruning dentries.

Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity.

Before this patch:

	void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent)
	{
		while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0)
			shrink_dentry_list(&dispose);
	}

select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which
shrink_dentry_list() then deletes.  select_parent() carefully uses
need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once.  But neither
shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched().  So
once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry
dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list().  This is
inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process.  This can cause
softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels.

This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent().  The benefit
of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls
to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry.

These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at
least for the workload below.

Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity
sets need_resched().

	int main()
	{
	        struct rlimit rlim;
	        int i;
	        int f[100000];

	        if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim))
	                err(1, "setrlimit");

	        if (mkdir("x", 0700))

... lest we get livelocks between path_is_under() and d_path() and friends.

The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks;
it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread
A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's
a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive.

As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and
rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take
vfsmount_lock only shared.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause

    server# mkdir a
    client# cd a
    server# mv a a.bak
    client# sleep 30  # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is)
    client# stat .
    stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle

Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the
inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code
will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has
FS_REVAL_DOT set.

nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and
will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course
fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE.

The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case.
What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still
good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether
the dcache is still valid.

Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call
that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a
"weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still
good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT
special casing.

NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root.  This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted.  e.g.  if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then

 { cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }

will cause a WARN message like
   WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()

to appear in kernel logs.

So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous

IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent().  This was found to be caused
by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
traversal.

There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:

 1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
    since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().

 2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
    to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
    can happen when already locked.

Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
when rename_lock is already held.  This patch fixes all three callers of
try_to_ascend().

IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.

[ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
  lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.

IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock.  Commit c83ce989 ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.

The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed.  This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.

This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.

IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit
3f50fff4, which was a follow-up
cleanup).

We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain.  Our i_mutex
locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
directory entries around.

Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
aims to basically get us back to a known older state.

Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at

       http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

and in particular a long post from Neil:

       http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>

It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks.  So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
thing regardless.

A directory should never have more than one dentry pointing to it.

But d_splice_alias() will add one if it finds a directory with an
already-existing non-DISCONNECTED dentry.

I can't find an obvious reproducer, but I also can't see what prevents
d_splice_alias() from encountering such a case.

It therefore seems safest to allow d_splice_alias to use any dentry it
finds.

(Prior to the removal of dentry_unhash() from vfs_rmdir(), around v3.0,
this could cause an nfsd deadlock like this:

	- Somebody attempts to remove a non-empty directory.
	- The dentry_unhash() in vfs_rmdir() unhashes the dentry
	  pointing to the non-empty directory.
	- ->rmdir() then fails with -ENOTEMPTY
	- Before the vfs_rmdir() caller reaches dput(), an nfsd process
	  in rename looks up the directory by filehandle; at the end of
	  that lookup, this dentry is found by d_alloc_anon(), and a
	  reference is taken on it, preventing dput() from removing it.
	- A regular lookup of the directory calls d_splice_alias(),
	  finds only an unhashed (not a DISCONNECTED) dentry, and
	  insteads adds a new one, so the directory now has two
	  dentries.
	- The nfsd process in rename, which was previously looking up
	  the source directory of the rename, now looks up the target
	  directory (which is the same), and gets the dentry newly
	  created by the previous lookup.
	- The rename, seeing two different dentries, assumes this is a
	  cross-directory rename and attempts to take the i_mutex on the
	  directory twice.

That reproducer no longer exists, but I don't think there was anything
fundamentally incorrect about the vfs_rmdir() behavior there, so I think
the real fault was here in d_splice_alias().)

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros

functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.

The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable.  This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.

On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the
alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area.

As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can
issue a warning.

This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to
solve this problem.

We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table
allocation.

This reverts commit 8c01a529.

It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).

End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.

In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.

Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation.  If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.

So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.

The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
architectures.  Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
since that is the case we care most about.

The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
'struct qstr' with a static initializer.  This makes the problematic
cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

All callers do want to check the dentry length, but some of them can

Commit 12f8ad4b ("vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp()

the word-at-a-time case, even though the issue is generic.

Admittedly I don't really see gcc ever reloading the value in the middle
of the loop, so the ACCESS_ONCE() protects us from a fairly theoretical
issue. But better safe than sorry.

Also, this consolidates the common parts of the word-at-a-time and
bytewise logic, which includes checking the length.  We'll be changing
that later.

The check for d_unhashed() is not strictly incorrect, but at the same
time it is also not sensible.  The actual dentry removal from the dentry
hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and
we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any
lookup of an unhashed dentry.

So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either:
the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it.
Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The calling conventions for __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() are
annoying in different ways, and there is actually one single underlying
reason for both of the annoyances.

The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number
check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller.  This
results in two annoyances:

 - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the
   sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to
   return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number
   check.

 - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the
   name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself
   to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the
   name.

So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling
conventions.

Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence
number check in the caller instead.  There's only one caller, and that
caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent
anyway, so just do that.

That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out
argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode
argument just a regular input inode pointer.  The caller can just load
the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check
after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked
up.

And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is
what all the callers really wanted.  Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit
careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but
that's actually very simple.

And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument
is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the
careful unaligned zero-padding.  The dentry name is always properly
aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded
into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc).

Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons:
that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call
in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable
inode pointer and path component length/start arguments.  Doing an extra
sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though.

It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.

Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.

And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
page.  IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.

Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

In d_materialise_unique() there are 3 subcases to the 'aliased dentry'
case; in two subcases the inode i_lock is properly released but this
does not occur in the -ELOOP subcase.

This seems to have been introduced by commit 18367501 ("fix loop
checks in d_materialise_unique()").

[ Added a comment, and moved the unlock to where we generate the -ELOOP,
  which seems to be more natural.

  You probably can't actually trigger this without a buggy network file
  server - d_materialize_unique() is for finding aliases on non-local
  filesystems, and the d_ancestor() case is for a hardlinked directory
  loop.

  But we should be robust in the case of such buggy servers anyway. ]

For some odd historical reason, the final mixing round for the dentry
cache hash table lookup had an insane "xor with big constant" logic.  In
two places.

The big constant that is being xor'ed is GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME, which is a
fairly random-looking number that is designed to be *multiplied* with so
that the bits get spread out over a whole long-word.

But xor'ing with it is insane.  It doesn't really even change the hash -
it really only shifts the hash around in the hash table.  To make
matters worse, the insane big constant is different on 32-bit and 64-bit
builds, even though the name hash bits we use are always 32-bit (and the
bits from the pointer we mix in effectively are too).

It's all total voodoo programming, in other words.

Now, some testing and analysis of the hash chains shows that the rest of
the hash function seems to be fairly good.  It does pick the right bits
of the parent dentry pointer, for example, and while it's generally a
bad idea to use an xor to mix down the upper bits (because if there is a
repeating pattern, the xor can cause "destructive interference"), it
seems to not have been a disaster.

For example, replacing the hash with the normal "hash_long()" code (that
uses the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME constant correctly, btw) actually just makes
the hash worse.  The hand-picked hash knew which bits of the pointer had
the highest entropy, and hash_long() ends up mixing bits less optimally
at least in some trivial tests.

So the hash function overall seems fine, it just has that really odd
"shift result around by a constant xor".

So get rid of the silly xor, and replace the down-mixing of the bits
with an add instead of an xor that tends to not have the same kind of
destructive interference issues.  Some stats on the resulting hash
chains shows that they look statistically identical before and after,
but the code is simpler and no longer makes you go "WTF?".

Also, the incoming hash really is just "unsigned int", not a long, and
there's no real point to worry about the high 26 bits of the dentry
pointer for the 64-bit case, because they are all going to be identical
anyway.

So also change the hashing to be done in the more natural 'unsigned int'
that is the real size of the actual hashed data anyway.

Ok, this is hacky, and only works on little-endian machines with goo
unaligned handling.  And even then only with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
disabled, since it can access up to 7 bytes after the pathname.

But it runs like a bat out of hell.

It's only used inside fs/dcache.c, and we're going to play games with it
for the word-at-a-time patches.  This time we really don't even want to
export it, because it really is an internal function to fs/dcache.c, and
has been since it was introduced.

Having it in that extremely hot header file (it's included in pretty
much everything, thanks to <linux/fs.h>) is a disaster for testing
different versions, and is utterly pointless.

We really should have some kind of header file diet thing, where we
figure out which parts of header files are really better off private and
only result in more expensive compiles.

These don't change any semantics, but they clean up the code a bit and
mark some arguments appropriately 'const'.

They came up as I was doing the word-at-a-time dcache name accessor
code, and cleaning this up now allows me to send out a smaller relevant
interesting patch for the experimental stuff.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.
