e994f5b677 squashfs: cache partial compressed blocks
Before commit 93e72b3c61 ("squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block
usage to BIO"), compressed blocks read by squashfs were cached in the page
cache, but that is not the case after that commit.  That has lead to
squashfs having to re-read a lot of sectors from disk/flash.

For example, the first sectors of every metadata block need to be read
twice from the disk.  Once partially to read the length, and a second time
to read the block itself.  Also, in linear reads of large files, the last
sectors of one data block are re-read from disk when reading the next data
block, since the compressed blocks are of variable sizes and not aligned
to device blocks.  This extra I/O results in a degrade in read performance
of, for example, ~16% in one scenario on my ARM platform using squashfs
with dm-verity and NAND.

Since the decompressed data is cached in the page cache or squashfs'
internal metadata and fragment caches, caching _all_ compressed pages
would lead to a lot of double caching and is undesirable.  But make the
code cache any disk blocks which were only partially requested, since
these are the ones likely to include data which is needed by other file
system blocks.  This restores read performance in my test scenario.

The compressed block caching is only applied when the disk block size is
equal to the page size, to avoid having to deal with caching sub-page
reads.

80f784098f squashfs: add the mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu>
Patch series 'squashfs: Add the mount parameter "threads="'.

Currently, Squashfs supports multiple decompressor parallel modes. 
However, this mode can be configured only during kernel building and does
not support flexible selection during runtime.

In the current patch set, the mount parameter "threads=" is added to allow
users to select the parallel decompressor mode and configure the number of
decompressors when mounting a file system.

"threads=<single|multi|percpu|1|2|3|...>"
The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.


This patch (of 2):

Squashfs supports three decompression concurrency modes:
	Single-thread mode: concurrent reads are blocked and the memory
		overhead is small.
	Multi-thread mode/percpu mode: reduces concurrent read blocking but
		increases memory overhead.

The corresponding schema must be fixed at compile time. During mounting,
the concurrent decompression mode cannot be adjusted based on file read
blocking.

The mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu> is added to select
the concurrent decompression mode of a single SquashFS file system
image.

squashfs: enable idmapped mounts
For squashfs all needed functionality for idmapped mounts is already
implemented by the generic handlers in the VFS. Thus, it is sufficient
to just enable the corresponding FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag to support
idmapped mounts.

We use this for unprivileged (user namespaced) containers based on
squashfs images as rootfs in GyroidOS.

A simple test using the mount-idmapped tool executed as user with
uid=1000 looks as follows:

$ mkdir test
$ echo "test" > test/test_file
$ mksquashfs test/ fs.img
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/test
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/mapped
$ sudo mount fs.img -o loop /mnt/test/
$ sudo ./mount-idmapped --map-mount b:1000:2000:1 /mnt/test/ /mnt/mapped/

$ mount | tail -n2
fs.img on /mnt/test type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
fs.img on /mnt/mapped type squashfs (ro,relatime,idmapped,errors=continue)

9eec1d8971 squashfs: provide backing_dev_info in order to disable read-ahead
Commit c1f6925e10 ("mm: put readahead pages in cache earlier") causes
the read performance of squashfs to deteriorate.Through testing, we find
that the performance will be back by closing the readahead of squashfs.

disable read-ahead

f37aa4c736 squashfs: add more sanity checks in id lookup
Sysbot has reported a number of "slab-out-of-bounds reads" and
"use-after-free read" errors which has been identified as being caused
by a corrupted index value read from the inode.  This could be because
the metadata block is uncompressed, or because the "compression" bit has
been corrupted (turning a compressed block into an uncompressed block).

This patch adds additional sanity checks to detect this, and the
following corruption.

1. It checks against corruption of the ids count.  This can either
   lead to a larger table to be read, or a smaller than expected
   table to be read.

   In the case of a too large ids count, this would often have been
   trapped by the existing sanity checks, but this patch introduces
   a more exact check, which can identify too small values.

2. It checks the contents of the index table for corruption.

71755ee535 squashfs: more metadata hardening
The squashfs fragment reading code doesn't actually verify that the
fragment is inside the fragment table.  The end result _is_ verified to
be inside the image when actually reading the fragment data, but before
that is done, we may end up taking a page fault because the fragment
table itself might not even exist.

Another report from Anatoly and his endless squashfs image fuzzing.

1751e8a6cb Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz)
This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

5d097056c9 kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

02b9984d64 fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

9508c6b90b Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code
The decompressor interface and code was written from
the point of view of single-threaded operation.  In doing
so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
implementations.

This patch does the following:

1.  It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
    init() function.  This allows the decompressor init() function
    to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
    without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
    time.

2.  It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
    decompressors.  In doing so, it makes the decompressors
    non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
    the decompressor implementation.

3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
   in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
   decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.

The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
files with specialised implementations of the functions in
decompressor_single.c

4b0180a49f Squashfs: add mount time sanity check for block_size and block_log match
Squashfs currently has a sanity check for block_size less than or
equal to the maximum block_size (1 Mbyte).  This catches some
superblock corruption, but obviously with a block_size maximum
of 1 Mbyte there's 7 correct values (4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, ... etc) and
a lot of incorrect values which are not caught by this check.

The Squashfs superblock, however, has both a block_size and
a block_log (2^block_log == block_size).  Checking that the block_size
matches the block_log is a much more robust check.  Corruption of the
superblock is unlikely to produce values which match, and it also
ensures the block_size is an exact power of two.

7657cacf47 Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4K
This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K.

By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K
or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger).
This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs,
should reduce latency.

This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
smaller block sizes).

Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

3dbc4b32d0 BKL: Remove BKL from squashfs
The BKL is only used in put_super and fill_super, which are both protected
by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore. Therefore it is safe to remove
the BKL entirely.

db71922217 BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super
This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.

do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.

Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
       don't use it elsewhere]
