2009-06-22VFS: Add VFS helper functions for setting up private namespacesTrond Myklebust
The purpose of this patch is to improve the remote mount path lookup support for distributed filesystems such as the NFSv4 client. When given a mount command of the form "mount server:/foo/bar /mnt", the NFSv4 client is required to look up the filehandle for "server:/", and then look up each component of the remote mount path "foo/bar" in order to find the directory that is actually going to be mounted on /mnt. Following that remote mount path may involve following symlinks, crossing server-side mount points and even following referrals to filesystem volumes on other servers. Since the standard VFS path lookup code already supports walking paths that contain all these features (using in-kernel automounts for following referrals) we would like to be able to reuse that rather than duplicate the full path traversal functionality in the NFSv4 client code. This patch therefore defines a VFS helper function create_mnt_ns(), that sets up a temporary filesystem namespace and attaches a root filesystem to it. It exports the create_mnt_ns() and put_mnt_ns() function for use by filesystem modules.

2009-06-11fs: introduce mnt_clone_writenpiggin@suse.de
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the first patch. Before: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 After: avg = 453.12 std = 9.58257 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence) It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write if the file is open for write. After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write). [AV: mnt_want_write_file() should take file alone and derive mnt from it; not only all callers have that form, but that's the only mnt about which we know that it's already held for write if file is opened for write] Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-11fs: mnt_want_write speedupnpiggin@suse.de
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about 8%. lat_mmap is set up basically to mmap a 64MB file on tmpfs, fault in its pages, then unmap it. A microbenchmark yes, but it exercises some important paths in the mm. Before: avg = 501.9 std = 14.7773 After: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence, but there is quite a bit of variation there still) It does this by removing the complex per-cpu locking and counter-cache and replaces it with a percpu counter in struct vfsmount. This makes the code much simpler, and avoids spinlocks (although the msync is still pretty costly, unfortunately). It results in about 900 bytes smaller code too. It does increase the size of a vfsmount, however. It should also give a speedup on large systems if CPUs are frequently operating on different mounts (because the existing scheme has to operate on an atomic in the struct vfsmount when switching between mounts). But I'm most interested in the single threaded path performance for the moment.

2009-04-19Don't set relatime when noatime is specifiedAndi Kleen
Since commit 0a1c01c9477602ee8b44548a9405b2c1d587b5a2 ("Make relatime default") when a file system is mounted explicitely with noatime it gets both the MNT_RELATIME and MNT_NOATIME bits set. This shows up like this in /proc/mounts: /dev/xxx /yyy ext3 rw,noatime,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0 That looks strange. The VFS uses noatime in this case, but both flags are set. So it's more a cosmetic issue, but still better to fix. Cc: mjg@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-03-27vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

2009-02-17Fix incomplete __mntput lockingAl Viro
Getting this wrong caused WARNING: at fs/namespace.c:636 mntput_no_expire+0xac/0xf2() due to optimistically checking cpu_writer->mnt outside the spinlock. Here's what we really want: * we know that nobody will set cpu_writer->mnt to mnt from now on * all changes to that sucker are done under cpu_writer->lock * we want the laziest equivalent of spin_lock(&cpu_writer->lock); if (likely(cpu_writer->mnt != mnt)) { spin_unlock(&cpu_writer->lock); continue; } /* do stuff */ that would make sure we won't miss earlier setting of ->mnt done by another CPU. Anyway, for now we just move the spin_lock() earlier and move the test into the properly locked region.

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

[mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks /proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information: - propagation state - root of mount for bind mounts - the st_dev value used within the filesystem - identifier for each mount and it's parent It also suffers from the following problems: - not easily extendable - ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment - doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options - doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address all these deficiencies.

2008-04-23[patch 4/7] vfs: mountinfo: add mount peer group IDMiklos Szeredi
Add a unique ID to each peer group using the IDR infrastructure. The identifiers are reused after the peer group dissolves. The IDR structures are protected by holding namepspace_sem for write while allocating or deallocating IDs. IDs are allocated when a previously unshared vfsmount becomes the first member of a peer group. When a new member is added to an existing group, the ID is copied from one of the old members. IDs are freed when the last member of a peer group is unshared. Setting the MNT_SHARED flag on members of a subtree is done as a separate step, after all the IDs have been allocated. This way an allocation failure can be cleaned up easilty, without affecting the propagation state. Based on design sketch by Al Viro.
