2009-04-15splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi
There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code: if (pipe->inode) mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); /* do something */ if (pipe->inode) mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex); so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking. Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code. This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-04-06block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

2009-04-03kmemtrace, fs: uninline simple_transaction_set()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fs.h has an implicit include file depedency: it uses PAGE_SIZE but does not include asm/page.h which defines it. This problem gets masked in practice because most fs.h using sites use rcupreempt.h (and other headers) which includes percpu.h which brings in asm/page.h indirectly. We cannot add asm/page.h to asm/fs.h because page.h is not an exported header. Move simple_transaction_set() to the other simple-transaction file helpers in fs/libfs.c. This removes the include file hell and also reduces kernel size a bit.

2009-04-03kmemtrace, fs, security: move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata() to ↵Pekka Enberg
linux/security.h Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fs.h has implicit include file depedencies: it uses GFP_* types in inlines but does not include gfp.h. In practice most fs.h using .c files get gfp.h included implicitly, via an indirect route: via rcupdate.h inclusion - so this underlying problem gets masked in practice. So we want to solve fs.h's dependency on gfp.h. gfp.h can not be included here directly because it is not exported and it would break the build the following way: /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/bsg.h:11: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h> /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/fs.h:11: included file 'linux/gfp.h' is not exported make[3]: *** [/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/.check] Error 1 make[2]: *** [linux] Error 2 As suggested by Alexey Dobriyan, move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata() to linux/security.h - they belong there.

2009-04-01filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystemsEric Sandeen
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen root filesystems may be in order. The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps something like this would be useful in emergencies. For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if you forgot that you had that unmounted. I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character). I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

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.

2009-01-09filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfsTakashi Sato
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

2009-01-05add a vfs_fsync helperChristoph Hellwig
Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call, and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this. It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there. Notes on the fsync callers: - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the lower file - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op simple_sync_file directly. [and now actually export vfs_fsync] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-01-05GFS2: Support for FIEMAP ioctlSteven Whitehouse
This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion) for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that "by hand", setting all the required flags. This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly. This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add that feature at some future point.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2008-12-31nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructureAl Viro
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-12-31kill ->dir_notify()Al Viro
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs) has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er, deficiencies someday be dealt with.
