2011-05-14tmpfs: fix race between swapoff and writepageHugh Dickins
Shame on me! Commit b1dea800ac39 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty() while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode() may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff. Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

2011-05-11tmpfs: fix spurious ENOSPC when racing with unswapHugh Dickins
Testing the shmem_swaplist replacements for igrab() revealed another bug: writes to /dev/loop0 on a tmpfs file which fills its filesystem were sometimes failing with "Buffer I/O error"s. These came from ENOSPC failures of shmem_getpage(), when racing with swapoff: the same could happen when racing with another shmem_getpage(), pulling the page in from swap in between our find_lock_page() and our taking the info->lock (though not in the single-threaded loop case). This is unacceptable, and surprising that I've not noticed it before: it dates back many years, but (presumably) was made a lot easier to reproduce in 2.6.36, which sited a page preallocation in the race window. Fix it by rechecking the page cache before settling on an ENOSPC error.

2011-05-11tmpfs: fix race between umount and swapoffHugh Dickins
The use of igrab() in swapoff's shmem_unuse_inode() is just as vulnerable to umount as that in shmem_writepage(). Fix this instance by extending the protection of shmem_swaplist_mutex right across shmem_unuse_inode(): while it's on the list, the inode cannot be evicted (and the filesystem cannot be unmounted) without shmem_evict_inode() taking that mutex to remove it from the list. But since shmem_writepage() might take that mutex, we should avoid making memory allocations or memcg charges while holding it: prepare them at the outer level in shmem_unuse(). When mem_cgroup_cache_charge() was originally placed, we didn't know until that point that the page from swap was actually a shmem page; but nowadays it's noted in the swap_map, so we're safe to charge upfront. For the radix_tree, do as is done in shmem_getpage(): preload upfront, but don't pin to the cpu; so we make a habit of refreshing the node pool, but might dip into GFP_NOWAIT reserves on occasion if subsequently preempted. With the allocation and charge moved out from shmem_unuse_inode(), we can also hold index map and info->lock over from finding the entry.

This igrap-iput pair was added in commit 1b1b32f2c6f6 "tmpfs: fix shmem_swaplist races" based on incorrect assumptions: igrab() protects the inode from concurrent eviction by deletion, but it does nothing to protect it from concurrent unmounting, which goes ahead despite the raised i_count. So this use of igrab() was wrong all along, but the race made much worse in 2.6.37 when commit 63997e98a3be "split invalidate_inodes()" replaced two attempts at invalidate_inodes() by a single evict_inodes(). Konstantin posted a plausible patch, raising sb->s_active too: I'm unsure whether it was correct or not; but burnt once by igrab(), I am sure that we don't want to rely more deeply upon externals here. Fix it by adding the inode to shmem_swaplist earlier, while the page lock on page in page cache still secures the inode against eviction, without artifically raising i_count. It was originally added later because shmem_unuse_inode() is liable to remove an inode from the list while it's unswapped; but we can guard against that by taking spinlock before dropping mutex.

2011-02-01fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creationEric Paris
SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
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. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-08-09shmem: reduce pagefault lock contentionShaohua Li
I'm running a shmem pagefault test case (see attached file) under a 64 CPU system. Profile shows shmem_inode_info->lock is heavily contented and 100% CPUs time are trying to get the lock. In the pagefault (no swap) case, shmem_getpage gets the lock twice, the last one is avoidable if we prealloc a page so we could reduce one time of locking. This is what below patch does. The result of the test case: 2.6.35-rc3: ~20s 2.6.35-rc3 + patch: ~12s so this is 40% improvement. One might argue if we could have better locking for shmem. But even shmem is lockless, the pagefault will soon have pagecache lock heavily contented because shmem must add new page to pagecache. So before we have better locking for pagecache, improving shmem locking doesn't have too much improvement. I did a similar pagefault test against a ramfs file, the test result is ~10.5s.

2010-08-09tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for used blocksTim Chen
The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable. We found that stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page, leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock. This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages. So the acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks, improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus. On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%. The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks. However, any overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus. This happens when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread allocates the last block before the current thread does. This should not be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks and bounded. If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway.

mtime and ctime should be changed only if the file size has actually changed. Patches changing ext2 and tmpfs from vmtruncate to new truncate sequence has caused regressions where they always update timestamps. There is some strange cases in POSIX where truncate(2) must not update times unless the size has acutally changed, see 6e656be89. This area is all still rather buggy in different ways in a lot of filesystems and needs a cleanup and audit (ideally the vfs will provide a simple attribute or call to direct all filesystems exactly which attributes to change). But coming up with the best solution will take a while and is not appropriate for rc anyway. So fix recent regression for now.

2010-05-27memcg: move charge of file pagesDaisuke Nishimura
This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file. It's enabled by setting bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault, i.e. they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps the same file. And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved even if page_mapcount(page) > 1). So, conditions that the page/swap should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

Now that we cache the ACL pointers in the generic inode all the generic_acl cruft can go away and generic_acl.c can directly implement xattr handlers dealing with the full Posix ACL semantics for in-memory filesystems.

2009-12-16sanitize xattr handler prototypesChristoph Hellwig
Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch. Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later, e.g. cifs.

2009-12-15swap_info: note SWAP_MAP_SHMEMHugh Dickins
While we're fiddling with the swap_map values, let's assign a particular value to shmem/tmpfs swap pages: their swap counts are never incremented, and it helps swapoff's try_to_unuse() a little if it can immediately distinguish those pages from process pages. Since we've no use for SWAP_MAP_BAD | COUNT_CONTINUED, we might as well use that 0xbf value for SWAP_MAP_SHMEM.

2009-09-22tmpfs: depend on shmemHugh Dickins
CONFIG_SHMEM off gives you (ramfs masquerading as) tmpfs, even when CONFIG_TMPFS is off: that's a little anomalous, and I'd intended to make more sense of it by removing CONFIG_TMPFS altogether, always enabling its code when CONFIG_SHMEM; but so many defconfigs have CONFIG_SHMEM on CONFIG_TMPFS off that we'd better leave that as is. But there is no point in asking for CONFIG_TMPFS if CONFIG_SHMEM is off: make TMPFS depend on SHMEM, which also prevents TMPFS_POSIX_ACL shmem_acl.o being pointlessly built into the kernel when SHMEM is off. And a selfish change, to prevent the world from being rebuilt when I switch between CONFIG_SHMEM on and off: the only CONFIG_SHMEM in the header files is mm.h shmem_lock() - give that a shmem.c stub instead.

2009-09-22mm: add_to_swap_cache() does not return -EEXISTDaisuke Nishimura
After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"), only the context which have set SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag by swapcache_prepare() or get_swap_page() would call add_to_swap_cache(). So add_to_swap_cache() doesn't return -EEXIST any more. Even though it doesn't return -EEXIST, it's not good behavior conceptually to call swapcache_prepare() in the -EEXIST case, because it means clearing SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag while the entry is on swap cache. This patch removes redundant codes and comments from callers of it, and adds VM_BUG_ON() in error path of add_to_swap_cache() and some comments.

2009-09-16HWPOISON: Enable .remove_error_page for migration aware file systemsAndi Kleen
Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation for a bunch of file systems: ext*, xfs, gfs2, ocfs2, ntfs These should cover most server needs. I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this for now, assuming they have been especially audited. But in general it should be safe for all file systems on the data area that support read/write and truncate. Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?
