2011-02-11vfs: call rcu_barrier after ->kill_sb()Boaz Harrosh
In commit fa0d7e3de6d6 ("fs: icache RCU free inodes"), we use rcu free inode instead of freeing the inode directly. It causes a crash when we rmmod immediately after we umount the volume[1]. So we need to call rcu_barrier after we kill_sb so that the inode is freed before we do rmmod. The idea is inspired by Aneesh Kumar. rcu_barrier will wait for all callbacks to end before preceding. The original patch was done by Tao Ma, but synchronize_rcu() is not enough here. 1. http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=129680863330185&w=2 Tested-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-01-16sanitize vfsmount refcounting changesAl Viro
Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm ones. Accounting rules for longterm count: * 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt * 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt * 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns * decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm. If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement percpu mnt_count. Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count. For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm(); namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where we need to manipulate mnt_longterm. Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need to care about two kinds of references, etc. And we get to keep the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

2011-01-07fs: scale mntget/mntputNick Piggin
The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2010-11-13block: clean up blkdev_get() wrappers and their usersTejun Heo
After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

2010-11-13block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive accessTejun Heo
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

2010-08-18fs: scale files_lockNick Piggin
fs: scale files_lock Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists, protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists (although this is very slow). One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list. However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N cachelines than with 1. A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case. Testing results: On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it. Booting: locks= 25049 cpu-hits= 23174 (92.5%) node-hits= 23945 (95.6%) kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%) dbench 64 locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%) So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time. It remains within the same node 95% of the time. Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile. throughput 2.6.34-rc2 24.5 +patch 24.9 us sys idle IO wait (in %) 2.6.34-rc2 51.25 28.25 17.25 3.25 +patch 53.75 18.5 19 8.75 So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and slightly higher throughput. Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks. That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

2010-08-09Fix sget() race with failing mountAl Viro
If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way. However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super() called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since we are holding another active reference to it. What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport: new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search). Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb" and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there, instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

2010-08-09vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() callTejun Heo
Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev(). When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding s_umount. However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during __invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock. This condition doesn't trigger frequently. For this condition to be visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as __invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while the FS is still mounted. Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().

2010-06-29fs: fix superblock iteration racenpiggin@suse.de
list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent modification of the list. 6754af6 introduced a race in sb walking. list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is dropped, n may be deleted.

Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting filesystems. This means filesystems with their own quota handling can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling. Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

2010-05-21Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for the fsfreeze ioctlJosef Bacik
Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then letting it do all the work. But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the super. In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky. This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism. So instead of populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super. These just take the super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work. It's basically just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev. I've then converted freeze_bdev over to use the new super helpers. I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified everything continues to work the same as before. The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if the fs is already frozen. I thought this was a better solution than adding a freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to suggestions.

2010-05-21Leave superblocks on s_list until the endAl Viro
We used to remove from s_list and s_instances at the same time. So let's *not* do the former and skip superblocks that have empty s_instances in the loops over s_list. The next step, of course, will be to get rid of rescan logics in those loops. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-05-21Saner locking around deactivate_super()Al Viro
Make sure that s_umount is acquired *before* we drop the final active reference; we still have the fast path (atomic_dec_unless) and we have gotten rid of the window between the moment when s_active hits zero and s_umount is acquired. Which simplifies the living hell out of grab_super() and inotify pin_to_kill() stuff. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-04-29fs: fs/super.c needs to include backing-dev.h for !CONFIG_BLOCKJens Axboe
When CONFIG_BLOCK is set, it ends up getting backing-dev.h included. But for !CONFIG_BLOCK, it isn't so lucky. The proper thing to do is include <linux/backing-dev.h> directly from the file it's used from, so do that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2010-04-25Catch filesystems lacking s_bdiJörn Engel
noop_backing_dev_info is used only as a flag to mark filesystems that don't have any backing store, like tmpfs, procfs, spufs, etc. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org> Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in __mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.

2010-03-03fs: improve remount,ro vs buffercache coherencyNick Piggin
Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro. Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev via their own mappings. These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev) and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications. So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a coherency point. The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal" block devices, including loop.

2009-12-23vfs: get_sb_single() - do not pass options twiceKay Sievers
Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call remount. This is needed to quite a warning that the debugfs code causes every boot.

2009-09-24freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocksChristoph Hellwig
Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

2009-09-24freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_semChristoph Hellwig
Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

2009-09-24vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_tJeff Layton
sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long. Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison. Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value. Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now that it's a signed value.
