2009-09-24vfs: optimize touch_time() tooAndi Kleen
Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime. Getting the lock in mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first. This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock region. This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.

2009-09-24vfs: optimization for touch_atime()Andi Kleen
Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for IO intensive workloads. Most likely that's due to the lock in mnt_want_write(). Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime or relatime). Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then if that didn't succeed take the lock. That works because none of the atime avoidance tests rely on locking. This also eliminates a goto.

2009-09-24vfs: split generic_forget_inode() so that hugetlbfs does not have to copy itJan Kara
Hugetlbfs needs to do special things instead of truncate_inode_pages(). Currently, it copied generic_forget_inode() except for truncate_inode_pages() call which is asking for trouble (the code there isn't trivial). So create a separate function generic_detach_inode() which does all the list magic done in generic_forget_inode() and call it from hugetlbfs_forget_inode().

Impact: have simple_read_from_buffer conform to standards It was brought to my attention by Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso, and H. Peter Anvin that a read from userspace should only return -EFAULT if nothing was actually read. Looking at the simple_read_from_buffer I noticed that this function does not conform to that rule.

2009-09-239p: Add fscache support to 9pAbhishek Kulkarni
This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for 9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend. When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels: - session object associated with each mount. - inode/vcookie - actual data (pages) A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

2009-09-23fs: change sys_truncate length parameter typeHeiko Carstens
For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter, while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it later to signed long again. This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g. dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate". The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign extension for the length parameter. In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here. So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long. Cc: "H.

2009-09-23V3 minixfs: add missing directory type checkingDoug Graham
There are a few places in the Minix FS code where the "inode" field of a minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is really a minix3_dir_entry. The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits, whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits. Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32 bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.

Presently the size of /proc/kcore which can be read by 'ls -l' is 0. But it's not the correct value.

This patch shows the size by updating "size" field in struct proc_dir_entry. Later, lookup routine will create inode and fill inode->i_size based on this value. Then, this has a problem. - Once inode is cached, inode->i_size will never be updated. Then, this patch is not memory-hotplug-aware. To update inode->i_size, we have to know dentry or inode. But there is no way to lookup them by inside kernel. Hmmm.... Next patch will try it.

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug.

2009-09-23procfs: provide stack information for threadsStefani Seibold
A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage, especially for embedded linux. Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads. There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage. A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like: 08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] a7d12000-a7d13000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7d13000-a7f13000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [thread stack: 001ff4b4] a7f13000-a7f14000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f14000-a7f36000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f36000-a8069000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a8069000-a806b000 r--p 00133000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806b000-a806c000 rw-p 00135000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806c000-a806f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a806f000-a8083000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8083000-a8084000 r--p 00013000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8084000-a8085000 rw-p 00014000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8085000-a8088000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a8088000-a80a4000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a4000-a80a5000 r--p 0001b000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a5000-a80a6000 rw-p 0001c000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 afaf5000-afb0a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status which will you give the current stack usage in kb.

2009-09-23proc_flush_task: flush /proc/tid/task/pid when a sub-thread exitsOleg Nesterov
The exiting sub-thread flushes /proc/pid only, but this doesn't buy too much: ps and friends mostly use /proc/tid/task/pid. Remove "if (thread_group_leader())" checks from proc_flush_task() path, this means we always remove /proc/tid/task/pid dentry on exit, and this actually matches the comment above proc_flush_task(). The test-case: static void* tfunc(void *arg) { char name[256]; sprintf(name, "/proc/%d/task/%ld/status", getpid(), gettid()); close(open(name, O_RDONLY)); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t t; for (;;) { if (!pthread_create(&t, NULL, &tfunc, NULL)) pthread_join(t, NULL); } } slabtop shows that pid/proc_inode_cache/etc grow quickly and "indefinitely" until the task is killed or shrink_slab() is called, not good. And the main thread needs a lot of time to exit. The same can happen if something like "ps -efL" runs continuously, while some application spawns short-living threads. Reported-by: "James M.

2009-09-23getrusage: fill ru_maxrss valueJiri Pirko
Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater mark. This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall. ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed. To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill ->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm struct exists. Note: exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss. it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting. test programs ======================================================== getrusage.c =========== #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/resource.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include "common.h" #define err(str) perror(str), exit(1) int main(int argc, char** argv) { int status; printf("allocate 100MB\n"); consume(100); printf("testcase1: fork inherit? \n"); printf(" expect: initial.self ~= child.self\n"); show_rusage("initial"); if (__fork()) { wait(&status); } else { show_rusage("fork child"); _exit(0); } printf("\n"); printf("testcase2: fork inherit?

2009-09-23anonfd: split interface into file creation and installDavide Libenzi
Split the anonfd interface into a bare file pointer creation one, and a file pointer creation plus install one. There are cases, like the usage of eventfds inside other kernel interfaces, where the file pointer created by anonfd needs to be used inside the initialization of other structures. As it is right now, as soon as anon_inode_getfd() returns, the kenrle can race with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor. This patch, while keeping the old anon_inode_getfd(), introduces a new anon_inode_getfile() (whose services are reused in anon_inode_getfd()) that allows to split the file creation phase and the fd install one. Once all the kernel structures are initialized, the code can call the proper fd_install(). Gregory manifested the need for something like this inside KVM.

Jan tracked the cause of this down to UDF inode reclaim blocking: gnome-screens D ffff810006d1d598 0 20686 1 ffff810006d1d508 0000000000000082 ffff810037db6718 0000000000000800 ffff810006d1d488 ffffffff807e4280 ffffffff807e4280 ffff810006d1a580 ffff8100bccbc140 ffff810006d1a8c0 0000000006d1d4e8 ffff810006d1a8c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff804477f3>] io_schedule+0x63/0xa5 [<ffffffff802c2587>] sync_buffer+0x3b/0x3f [<ffffffff80447d2a>] __wait_on_bit+0x47/0x79 [<ffffffff80447dc6>] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x6a/0x77 [<ffffffff802c24f6>] __wait_on_buffer+0x1f/0x21 [<ffffffff802c442a>] __bread+0x70/0x86 [<ffffffff88de9ec7>] :udf:udf_tread+0x38/0x3a [<ffffffff88de0fcf>] :udf:udf_update_inode+0x4d/0x68c [<ffffffff88de26e1>] :udf:udf_write_inode+0x1d/0x2b [<ffffffff802bcf85>] __writeback_single_inode+0x1c0/0x394 [<ffffffff802bd205>] write_inode_now+0x7d/0xc4 [<ffffffff88de2e76>] :udf:udf_clear_inode+0x3d/0x53 [<ffffffff802b39ae>] clear_inode+0xc2/0x11b [<ffffffff802b3ab1>] dispose_list+0x5b/0x102 [<ffffffff802b3d35>] shrink_icache_memory+0x1dd/0x213 [<ffffffff8027ede3>] shrink_slab+0xe3/0x158 [<ffffffff8027fbab>] try_to_free_pages+0x177/0x232 [<ffffffff8027a578>] __alloc_pages+0x1fa/0x392 [<ffffffff802951fa>] alloc_page_vma+0x176/0x189 [<ffffffff802822d8>] __do_fault+0x10c/0x417 [<ffffffff80284232>] handle_mm_fault+0x466/0x940 [<ffffffff8044b922>] do_page_fault+0x676/0xabf This blocks with iprune_mutex held, which then blocks other reclaimers: X D ffff81009d47c400 0 17285 14831 ffff8100844f3728 0000000000000086 0000000000000000 ffff81000000e288 ffff81000000da00 ffffffff807e4280 ffffffff807e4280 ffff81009d47c400 ffffffff805ff890 ffff81009d47c740 00000000844f3808 ffff81009d47c740 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80447f8c>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x72/0xa9 [<ffffffff80447e1a>] mutex_lock+0x1e/0x22 [<ffffffff802b3ba1>] shrink_icache_memory+0x49/0x213 [<ffffffff8027ede3>] shrink_slab+0xe3/0x158 [<ffffffff8027fbab>] try_to_free_pages+0x177/0x232 [<ffffffff8027a578>] __alloc_pages+0x1fa/0x392 [<ffffffff8029507f>] alloc_pages_current+0xd1/0xd6 [<ffffffff80279ac0>] __get_free_pages+0xe/0x4d [<ffffffff802ae1b7>] __pollwait+0x5e/0xdf [<ffffffff8860f2b4>] :nvidia:nv_kern_poll+0x2e/0x73 [<ffffffff802ad949>] do_select+0x308/0x506 [<ffffffff802adced>] core_sys_select+0x1a6/0x254 [<ffffffff802ae0b7>] sys_select+0xb5/0x157 Now I think the main problem is having the filesystem block (and do IO) in inode reclaim. The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind.

2009-09-23seq_file: constify seq_operationsJames Morris
Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against revectoring user-triggerable function pointers. This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

2009-09-23poll/select: avoid arithmetic overflow in __estimate_accuracy()Guillaume Knispel
__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example if *tv == {2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays as small as {429, 500000000} if the task is niced). Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect of the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer range feature was not optimal in overflow cases. This patch ensures that there can not be an integer overflow in this function.

2009-09-23ocfs2: Use buffer IO if we are appending a file.Tao Ma
In ocfs2_file_aio_write, we will prevent direct io if we find that we are appending(changing i_size) and call generic_file_aio_write_nolock. But actually O_DIRECT flag is there and this function will call generic_file_direct_write eventually which will update i_size and leave di->i_size alone. The bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1173. So this patch let ocfs2_direct_IO returns 0 directly if we are appending so that buffered write will be called and di->i_size get updated successfully. And this is also what we want in ocfs2_file_aio_write. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
