2009-08-07xfs: fix freeing of inodes not yet added to the inode cacheChristoph Hellwig
When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with the inode cache state.

2009-08-07vfs: fix inode_init_always calling conventionChristoph Hellwig
Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.

This patch rips out the XFS ACL handling code and uses the generic fs/posix_acl.c code instead. The ondisk format is of course left unchanged.

2009-06-08xfs: kill xfs_qmopsChristoph Hellwig
Kill the quota ops function vector and replace it with direct calls or stubs in the CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=n case. Make sure we check XFS_IS_QUOTA_RUNNING in the right spots. We can remove the number of those checks because the XFS_TRANS_DQ_DIRTY flag can't be set otherwise. This brings us back closer to the way this code worked in IRIX and earlier Linux versions, but we keep a lot of the more useful factoring of common code. Eventually we should also kill xfs_qm_bhv.c, but that's left for a later patch.

2009-04-06xfs: fix double free of inodeDave Chinner
If we fail to initialise the VFS inode in inode_init_always(), it will call ->delete_inode internally resulting in the inode being freed. Hence we need to delay the call to inode_init_always() until after the XFS inode is sufficient set up to handle a call to ->delete_inode, and then if that fails do not touch the inode again at all as it has been freed.

Fix the race by checking whether we are still initialising the inod eonce we have a reference to it, and if so wait for the initialisation to complete before continuing. While there, fix a leaked reference count in the same code when encountering an unlinked inode and we are not doing a lookup for a create operation.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup. We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do this now is during inode writeback. Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built when we first read in the inodes. This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness. To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

2007-10-15[XFS] Radix tree based inode cachingDavid Chinner
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum realistic size of the cache. As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to allow decent scalability with inode cache operations. A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the inode hash is causing issues. The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

2006-11-11[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.David Chinner
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying to push the inode it was currently unpinning. To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux inode to the xfs inode.

2006-09-28[XFS] Really fix use after free in xfs_iunpin.David Chinner
The previous attempts to fix the linux inode use-after-free in xfs_iunpin simply made the problem harder to hit. We actually need complete exclusion between xfs_reclaim and xfs_iunpin, as well as ensuring that the i_flags are consistent during both of these functions. Introduce a new spinlock for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before marking the inode dirty.
