* 'for-2.6.29' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
block: fix bug in ptbl lookup cache
|

Neil writes:
Hi Jens,
I've found a little bug for you. It was introduced by
a6f23657d3072bde6844055bbc2290e497f33fbc
block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble
an md array :-(
One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always
deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it
can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine.
I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in
disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it.
Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup
data. So clear that when we delete a partition.

Each subvolume has an extent_state_tree used to mark metadata
that needs to be sent to disk while syncing the tree. This is
used in addition to the dirty bits on the pages themselves so that
a single subvolume can be sent to disk efficiently in disk order.
Normally this marking happens in btrfs_alloc_free_block, which also does
special recording of dirty tree blocks for the tree log roots.
Yan Zheng noticed that when the root of the log tree is allocated, it is added
to the wrong writeback list. The fix used here is to explicitly set
it dirty as part of tree log creation.

Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.
If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.
So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a
complication.
Between the call
__blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
__blkdev_get->md_open
there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.
Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must
fail.
So:
1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
is no longer needed.
This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
md_open.
2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
the gendisk that we did open.
If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
__blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
we loop at most once.
Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).
As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

Remove the saved_max_pfn check from the /proc/vmcore function
read_from_oldmem(). No need to verify, we should be able to just trust
that "elfcorehdr=" is correctly passed to the crash kernel on the kernel
command line like we do with other parameters.
The read_from_oldmem() function in fs/proc/vmcore.c is quite similar to
read_from_oldmem() in drivers/char/mem.c, but only in the latter it makes
sense to use saved_max_pfn. For oldmem it is used to determine when to
stop reading. For vmcore we already have the elf header info pointing out
the physical memory regions, no need to pass the end-of- old-memory twice.
Removing the saved_max_pfn check from vmcore makes it possible for
architectures to skip oldmem but still support crash dump through vmcore -
without the need for the old saved_max_pfn cruft.
Architectures that want to play safe can do the saved_max_pfn check in
copy_oldmem_page(). Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but that's
even safer than today - the saved_max_pfn check in vmcore removed by this
patch only checks the first page.

While discussing[1] the need for glibc to have access to random bytes
during program load, it seems that an earlier attempt to implement
AT_RANDOM got stalled. This implements a random 16 byte string, available
to every ELF program via a new auxv AT_RANDOM vector.
[1] http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-10/msg00006.html
Ulrich said:
glibc needs right after startup a bit of random data for internal
protections (stack canary etc). What is now in upstream glibc is that we
always unconditionally open /dev/urandom, read some data, and use it. For
every process startup. That's slow.
...
The solution is to provide a limited amount of random data to the
starting process in the aux vector. I suggested 16 bytes and this is
what the patch implements. If we need only 16 bytes or less we use the
data directly. If we need more we'll use the 16 bytes to see a PRNG.
This avoids the costly /dev/urandom use and it allows the kernel to use
the most adequate source of random data for this purpose. It might not
be the same pool as that for /dev/urandom.
Concerns were expressed about the depletion of the randomness pool. But
this patch doesn't make the situation worse, it doesn't deplete entropy
more than happens now.

A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.
Now,
- page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).
- LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.
- page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.
- To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
- lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);
- SwapCache is handled.
And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
.....add to LRU
spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);
But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.
This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
....add to LRU
}
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
- at charge.
- at account_move().
2. at charge
the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
3. at account_move()
the page is isolated and not on LRU.
Pros.
- easy for maintenance.
- memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
- we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
- LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
- # of locks are reduced.
- account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
- may increase cost of LRU rotation.
(no impact if memcg is not configured.)

At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.
Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.
To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a
file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we
automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join
into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is
that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit
a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so
sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed
the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using
fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added
more threads.
This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in
nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time
we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running
for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep
for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive
sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait
time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having
this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's
comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random
outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the
average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep
longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested
by Andrew.
I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a
ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with
barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested
with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the
ramdisk. I ran the following command
fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i
where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time. Here are my

At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.
Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

At present BTREE/INDEX is the only flag that new ext2 inodes do NOT
inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR,
INDEX, IMAGIC and TOPDIR from being inherited. List inheritable flags
explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited.
This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext2_sb_info is 17024 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.
To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext2_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

Stop the FLAT binfmt from attempting to expand the userspace stack and brk
segments to fill the space actually allocated for it. The space allocated may
be rounded up by mmap(), and may be wasted.
However, finding out how much space we actually obtained uses the contentious
kobjsize() function which we'd like to get rid of as it doesn't necessarily
work for all slab allocators.

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.
(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.
A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.
This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.
(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.
(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.
These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

Fix cleanup handling in ramfs_nommu_get_umapped_area() by only freeing the
number of pages that find_get_pages() said it had returned (nr) rather than
attempting to free the number of pages we asked for (lpages) - thus avoiding
the situation whereby put_page() may be handed NULL pointers if
find_get_pages() returned fewer pages that were requested.
Also avoid a warning about nr being uninitialised and the need for an
if-statement in the cleanup path by using appropriate gotos.

refactor the nfs4 server lock code to use last_byte_offset
to compute the last byte covered by the lock. Check for overflow
so that the last byte is set to NFS4_MAX_UINT64 if offset + len
wraps around.
Also, use NFS4_MAX_UINT64 for ~(u64)0 where appropriate.

A number of nfsd operations depend on the i_mutex to cover more code
than just the fsync, so the approach of 4c728ef583b3d8 "add a vfs_fsync
helper" doesn't work for nfsd. Revert the parts of those patches that
touch nfsd.
Note: we can't, however, remove the logic from vfs_fsync that was needed
only for the special case of nfsd, because a vfs_fsync(NULL,...) call
can still result indirectly from a stackable filesystem that was called
by nfsd. (Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for pointing this out.)

Fix a regression in NFSD's permission checking introduced by the credentials
patches. There are two parts to the problem, both in nfsd_setuser():
(1) The return value of set_groups() is -ve if in error, not 0, and should be
checked appropriately. 0 indicates success.
(2) The UID to use for fs accesses is in new->fsuid, not new->uid (which is
0). This causes CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE to always be set, rather than being
cleared if the UID is anything other than 0 after squashing.
