Locking
=======
The text below describes the locking rules for VFS-related methods.
Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

It is (believed to be) up-to-date. *Please*, if you change anything in
prototypes or locking protocols - update this file. And update the relevant
instances in the tree, don't leave that to maintainers of filesystems/devices/
etc. At the very least, put the list of dubious cases in the end of this file.
Don't turn it into log - maintainers of out-of-the-tree code are supposed to
be able to use diff(1).

int (*d_revalidate)(struct dentry *, unsigned int);
vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op 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.

Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare() Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback, however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses. If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode. For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes 1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...

char *(*d_dname)((struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);
Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link() Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than abusing the follow_link() inode operation. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT). This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics. The ->d_automount() dentry operation: struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint); takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted. If successful, it should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar). If there's a collision with another automount attempt, NULL should be returned. If the directory specified by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon, -EISDIR should be returned. In any other case, an error code should be returned. The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep. At this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode. Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is added to handle mountpoints. It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without mounting and 0 if successful. The path will be updated to point to the mounted filesystem if a successful automount took place. __follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic (especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()). This handles transits from directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch). __follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an automount point with nothing mounted on it. follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them whilst following "..". I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it here. It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(), tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory, or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname. If they do a stat(), however, they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW. I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their inodes as automount points. This flag is automatically propagated to the dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate(). This saves NFS and could save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary. It would be preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally have access to the inode. [AV: fixed breakage in case if __follow_mount_rcu() fails and nameidata_drop_rcu() succeeds in RCU case of do_lookup(); we need to fall through to non-RCU case after that, rather than just returning with ungrabbed *path] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Was-Acked-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Remove the inode argument of the method and replace it with an integer 'type' argument, to allow callers to request the real metadata dentry instead of the real data dentry. All the current users of d_real_inode() (e.g. uprobe) continue to get the real data inode.

int (*permission) (struct mnt_idmap *, struct inode *, int, unsigned int);
fs: rename current get acl method The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl() inode operation is called from: acl_permission_check() -> check_acl() -> get_acl() which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g., overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We should avoid this unnecessary change. So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from ->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for permission checking during lookup can simply not implement ->get_inode_acl(). This is intended to be a non-functional change.

rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken ->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with the usual consequences. The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory. For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit and copy its contents into separate data block(s)). However, we need that only in case when the parent does change - otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway, but it's really not hard to avoid. Amended locking rules for rename(): find the parent(s) of source and target if source and target have the same parent lock the common parent else lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source first. find the source and target. if source and target have the same parent if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory lock the target subdirectory else if source is a subdirectory lock the source if target is a subdirectory lock the target lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both source and target are such. That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons), that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that), that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things) and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent followed by its child.

fs: rename current get acl method The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl() inode operation is called from: acl_permission_check() -> check_acl() -> get_acl() which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g., overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We should avoid this unnecessary change. So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from ->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for permission checking during lookup can simply not implement ->get_inode_acl(). This is intended to be a non-functional change.

The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form.

This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. Since some filesystem rely on the dentry being available to them when setting posix acls (e.g., 9p and cifs) they cannot rely on the old get acl inode operation to retrieve posix acl and need to implement their own custom handlers because of that. In a previous patch we renamed the old get acl inode operation to ->get_inode_acl(). We decided to rename it and implement a new one since ->get_inode_acl() is called generic_permission() and inode_permission() both of which can be called during an filesystem's ->permission() handler. So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would have amounted to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We avoided that change. This adds a new ->get_acl() inode operations which takes a dentry argument which filesystems such as 9p, cifs, and overlayfs can implement to get posix acls.

On filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL. This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better, inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c. Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes. (Right now, some filesystems have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and ->set xattr handler operations instead.) The IOP_XATTR flag is automatically cleared in inodes of filesystems that don't have xattr support. In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop.

cross-directory ->rename() has (per-superblock) ->s_vfs_rename_sem.
rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken ->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with the usual consequences. The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory. For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit and copy its contents into separate data block(s)). However, we need that only in case when the parent does change - otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway, but it's really not hard to avoid. Amended locking rules for rename(): find the parent(s) of source and target if source and target have the same parent lock the common parent else lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source first. find the source and target. if source and target have the same parent if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory lock the target subdirectory else if source is a subdirectory lock the source if target is a subdirectory lock the target lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both source and target are such. That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons), that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that), that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things) and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent followed by its child.

Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which direction we're translating. Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace. In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode() helpers.

This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

new inode method: ->free_inode() A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for doing just that, with saner signature. Rules: ->destroy_inode ->free_inode f g immediate call of f(), RCU-delayed call of g() f NULL immediate call of f(), no RCU-delayed calls NULL g RCU-delayed call of g() NULL NULL RCU-delayed default freeing IOW, NULL ->free_inode gives the same behaviour as now. Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility, require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair would have no use whatsoever... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

destroy_inode:
fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

write_inode:
fs: remove inode_lock from iput_final and prune_icache Now that inode state changes are protected by the inode->i_lock and the inode LRU manipulations by the inode_lru_lock, we can remove the inode_lock from prune_icache and the initial part of iput_final(). instead of using the inode_lock to protect the inode during iput_final, use the inode->i_lock instead. This protects the inode against new references being taken while we change the inode state to I_FREEING, as well as preventing prune_icache from grabbing the inode while we are manipulating it. Hence we no longer need the inode_lock in iput_final prior to setting I_FREEING on the inode. For prune_icache, we no longer need the inode_lock to protect the LRU list, and the inodes themselves are protected against freeing races by the inode->i_lock. Hence we can lift the inode_lock from prune_icache as well. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

->statfs() has s_umount (shared) when called by ustat(2) (native or
compat), but that's an accident of bad API; s_umount is used to pin
the superblock down when we only have dev_t given us by userland to
identify the superblock. Everything else (statfs(), fstatfs(), etc.)
doesn't hold it when calling ->statfs() - superblock is pinned down
by resolving the pathname passed to syscall.

int (*swap_activate)(struct swap_info_struct *sis, struct file *f, sector_t *span)
mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file. If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file. int swap_activate(struct file *); int swap_deactivate(struct file *); The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate() returned success. After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache pages and ->readpage to read. It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file. If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file. int swap_activate(struct file *); int swap_deactivate(struct file *); The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate() returned success. After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache pages and ->readpage to read. It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

"sync". These are quite different operations and the behaviour may differ
depending upon the mode.
If writepage is called for sync (wbc->sync_mode != WBC_SYNC_NONE) then
it *must* start I/O against the page, even if that would involve
blocking on in-progress I/O.
If writepage is called for memory cleansing (sync_mode ==
WBC_SYNC_NONE) then its role is to get as much writeout underway as
possible. So writepage should try to avoid blocking against
currently-in-progress I/O.
If the filesystem is not called for "sync" and it determines that it
would need to block against in-progress I/O to be able to start new I/O
against the page the filesystem should redirty the page with
redirty_page_for_writepage(), then unlock the page and return zero.
This may also be done to avoid internal deadlocks, but rarely.

The filesystem should unlock the page synchronously, before returning to the
caller, unless ->writepage() returns special WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
value. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE means that page cannot really be written out
currently, and VM should stop calling ->writepage() on this page for some
time. VM does this by moving page to the head of the active list, hence the
name.

2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
Unless the filesystem is going to redirty_page_for_writepage(), unlock the page
and return zero, writepage *must* run set_page_writeback() against the page,
followed by unlocking it. Once set_page_writeback() has been run against the
page, write I/O can be submitted and the write I/O completion handler must run
end_page_writeback() once the I/O is complete. If no I/O is submitted, the
filesystem must run end_page_writeback() against the page before returning from
writepage.
That is: after 2.5.12, pages which are under writeout are *not* locked. Note,
if the filesystem needs the page to be locked during writeout, that is ok, too,
the page is allowed to be unlocked at any point in time between the calls to
set_page_writeback() and end_page_writeback().
Note, failure to run either redirty_page_for_writepage() or the combination of
set_page_writeback()/end_page_writeback() on a page submitted to writepage
will leave the page itself marked clean but it will be tagged as dirty in the
radix tree. This incoherency can lead to all sorts of hard-to-debug problems
in the filesystem like having dirty inodes at umount and losing written data.

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

->release_folio() is called when the MM wants to make a change to the
folio that would invalidate the filesystem's private data. For example,
it may be about to be removed from the address_space or split. The folio
is locked and not under writeback. It may be dirty. The gfp parameter
is not usually used for allocation, but rather to indicate what the
filesystem may do to attempt to free the private data. The filesystem may
return false to indicate that the folio's private data cannot be freed.
If it returns true, it should have already removed the private data from
the folio. If a filesystem does not provide a ->release_folio method,
the pagecache will assume that private data is buffer_heads and call
try_to_free_buffers().

[PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

->swap_activate() will be called to prepare the given file for swap. It
should perform any validation and preparation necessary to ensure that
writes can be performed with minimal memory allocation. It should call
add_swap_extent(), or the helper iomap_swapfile_activate(), and return
the number of extents added. If IO should be submitted through
->swap_rw(), it should set SWP_FS_OPS, otherwise IO will be submitted
directly to the block device ``sis->bdev``.
mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file. If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file. int swap_activate(struct file *); int swap_deactivate(struct file *); The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate() returned success. After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache pages and ->readpage to read. It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

nfsd: clients don't need to break their own delegations We currently revoke read delegations on any write open or any operation that modifies file data or metadata (including rename, link, and unlink). But if the delegation in question is the only read delegation and is held by the client performing the operation, that's not really necessary. It's not always possible to prevent this in the NFSv4.0 case, because there's not always a way to determine which client an NFSv4.0 delegation came from. (In theory we could try to guess this from the transport layer, e.g., by assuming all traffic on a given TCP connection comes from the same client. But that's not really correct.) In the NFSv4.1 case the session layer always tells us the client. This patch should remove such self-conflicts in all cases where we can reliably determine the client from the compound. To do that we need to track "who" is performing a given (possibly lease-breaking) file operation. We're doing that by storing the information in the svc_rqst and using kthread_data() to map the current task back to a svc_rqst. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>

A new field, lm_mod_owner, is also added to lock_manager_operations. The lm_mod_owner is used by the fs/lock code to make sure the lock manager module such as nfsd, is not freed while lock conflict is being resolved. lm_lock_expirable checks and returns true to indicate that the lock conflict can be resolved else return false. This callback must be called with the flc_lock held so it can not block. lm_expire_lock is called to resolve the lock conflict if the returned value from lm_lock_expirable is true. This callback is called without the flc_lock held since it's allowed to block. Upon returning from this callback, the lock conflict should be resolved and the caller is expected to restart the conflict check from the beginnning of the list. Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client (client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns the lock.

locking rules:
locks: protect most of the file_lock handling with i_lock Having a global lock that protects all of this code is a clear scalability problem. Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list. ->fl_link is what connects these structures to the global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating over or updating these lists. Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure that the search and update to the list are atomic. For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the lock in between. On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list. With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize excessive file_lock_lock thrashing. Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling /proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

fs/lock: add 2 callbacks to lock_manager_operations to resolve conflict Add 2 new callbacks, lm_lock_expirable and lm_expire_lock, to lock_manager_operations to allow the lock manager to take appropriate action to resolve the lock conflict if possible. A new field, lm_mod_owner, is also added to lock_manager_operations. The lm_mod_owner is used by the fs/lock code to make sure the lock manager module such as nfsd, is not freed while lock conflict is being resolved. lm_lock_expirable checks and returns true to indicate that the lock conflict can be resolved else return false. This callback must be called with the flc_lock held so it can not block. lm_expire_lock is called to resolve the lock conflict if the returned value from lm_lock_expirable is true. This callback is called without the flc_lock held since it's allowed to block. Upon returning from this callback, the lock conflict should be resolved and the caller is expected to restart the conflict check from the beginnning of the list. Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client (client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns the lock.

locks: plumb a "priv" pointer into the setlease routines In later patches, we're going to add a new lock_manager_operation to finish setting up the lease while still holding the i_lock. To do this, we'll need to pass a little bit of info in the fcntl setlease case (primarily an fasync structure). Plumb the extra pointer into there in advance of that. We declare this pointer as a void ** to make it clear that this is private info, and that the caller isn't required to set this unless the lm_setup specifically requires it.

fallocate should be a file operation Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files.

Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

->llseek() locking has moved from llseek to the individual llseek
implementations. If your fs is not using generic_file_llseek, you
need to acquire and release the appropriate locks in your ->llseek().
For many filesystems, it is probably safe to acquire the inode
Documentation/filesystems/Locking: update documentation on llseek() wrt BKL The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock. Therefore it does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek operations. Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use i_size_read() instead.

vfs: get rid of old '->iterate' directory operation All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the directory inode lock for reading. Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode. This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about filesystems that never got converted to the modern era. The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf. Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the dual iterators.

->readdir() and ->ioctl() on directories must be changed. Ideally we would
move ->readdir() to inode_operations and use a separate method for directory
->ioctl() or kill the latter completely. One of the problems is that for
anything that resembles union-mount we won't have a struct file for all
components. And there are other reasons why the current interface is a mess...
->read on directories probably must go away - we should just enforce -EISDIR
in sys_read() and friends.

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is like: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / .. truncate_inode_pages_range() <create pages in page cache here> <update fs block mapping and free blocks> Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer. So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock - that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads / readahead. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

->fallocate implementation must be really careful to maintain page cache
consistency when punching holes or performing other operations that invalidate
page cache contents. Usually the filesystem needs to call
truncate_inode_pages_range() to invalidate relevant range of the page cache.
However the filesystem usually also needs to update its internal (and on disk)
view of file offset -> disk block mapping. Until this update is finished, the
filesystem needs to block page faults and reads from reloading now-stale page
cache contents from the disk. Since VFS acquires mapping->invalidate_lock in
shared mode when loading pages from disk (filemap_fault(), filemap_read(),
readahead paths), the fallocate implementation must take the invalidate_lock to
prevent reloading.
->copy_file_range and ->remap_file_range implementations need to serialize
against modifications of file data while the operation is running. For
blocking changes through write(2) and similar operations inode->i_rwsem can be
used. To block changes to file contents via a memory mapping during the
operation, the filesystem must take mapping->invalidate_lock to coordinate
with ->page_mkwrite.

->fault() is called when a previously not present pte is about to be faulted
in. The filesystem must find and return the page associated with the passed in
"pgoff" in the vm_fault structure. If it is possible that the page may be
truncated and/or invalidated, then the filesystem must lock invalidate_lock,
then ensure the page is not already truncated (invalidate_lock will block
mm: close page_mkwrite races Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves.

mm: hold the RCU read lock over calls to ->map_pages Prevent filesystems from doing things which sleep in their map_pages method. This is in preparation for a pagefault path protected only by RCU.

mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages() Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it and collect performance data. First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct. ->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages. Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from "pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte() to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset "pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte". Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now. Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below. TODO: - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs; - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top. ========================================================================= Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults. We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: join struct fault_env and vm_fault Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults. We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is like: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / .. truncate_inode_pages_range() <create pages in page cache here> <update fs block mapping and free blocks> Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer. So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock - that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads / readahead. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

->page_mkwrite() is called when a previously read-only pte is about to become
writeable. The filesystem again must ensure that there are no
truncate/invalidate races or races with operations such as ->remap_file_range
or ->copy_file_range, and then return with the page locked. Usually
mapping->invalidate_lock is suitable for proper serialization. If the page has
been truncated, the filesystem should not look up a new page like the ->fault()
handler, but simply return with VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, which will cause the VM to
retry the fault.

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!

->pfn_mkwrite() is the same as page_mkwrite but when the pte is
mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAP This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.
