2008-04-21Fix RCU list iterator use of 'rcu_dereference()'Linus Torvalds
The RCU iterators used 'rcu_dereference()' on an already-fetched RCU pointer value, which defeats the whole point of the exercise. When we dereference a pointer protected by RCU, we need to make sure that we only fetch the value _once_, because if the compiler ends up re-loading it due to register pressure, the newly reloaded value could be different from the previously fetched one, and you get inconsistent results. Cleaned-up, fixed, and the pointless list_for_each_safe_rcu #define deleted by Paul Kenney. Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2008-04-19x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5Suresh Siddha
Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following two optimizations: 1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch does this lazy allocation. 2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always. Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage of this.

2008-04-19x86: implement prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSCErik Bosman
This patch implements the PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC prctl() commands on the x86 platform (both 32 and 64 bit.) These commands control the ability to read the timestamp counter from userspace (the RDTSC instruction.) While the RDTSC instuction is a useful profiling tool, it is also the source of some non-determinism in ring-3. For deterministic replay applications it is useful to be able to trap and emulate (and record the outcome of) this instruction. This patch uses code earlier used to disable the timestamp counter for the SECCOMP framework. A side-effect of this patch is that the SECCOMP environment will now also disable the timestamp counter on x86_64 due to the addition of the TIF_NOTSC define on this platform. The code which enables/disables the RDTSC instruction during context switches is in the __switch_to_xtra function, which already handles other unusual conditions, so normal performance should not have to suffer from this change.

2008-04-19[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed callsDave Hansen
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts. There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from dentry_open() calls. This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or mnt_writer count imbalances. I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it. [hch: made it conditional on a debug option.

Originally from: Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at> This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set. Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to the bind mount operation. If you require such a mount, you must first do the bind, then follow it up with a 'mount -o remount,ro' operation: If you wish to have a r/o bind mount of /foo on bar: mount --bind /foo /bar mount -o remount,ro /bar Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-04-19[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: track numbers of writers to mountsDave Hansen
This is the real meat of the entire series. It actually implements the tracking of the number of writers to a mount. However, it causes scalability problems because there can be hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files on the same mnt at the same time. Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive scalaing problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended. This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable. All want/drop operations are local to a cpu as long that cpu operates on the same mount, and there are no writer count imbalances. Writer count imbalances happen when a write is taken on one cpu, and released on another, like when an open/close pair is performed on two Upon a remount,ro request, all of the data from the percpu variables is collected (expensive, but very rare) and we determine if there are any outstanding writers to the mount. I've written a little benchmark to sit in a loop for a couple of seconds in several cpus in parallel doing open/write/close loops. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/openbench.c The code in here is a a worst-possible case for this patch. It does opens on a _pair_ of files in two different mounts in parallel. This should cause my code to lose its "operate on the same mount" optimization completely. This worst-case scenario causes a 3% degredation in the benchmark. I could probably get rid of even this 3%, but it would be more complex than what I have here, and I think this is getting into acceptable territory. In practice, I expect writing more than 3 bytes to a file, as well as disk I/O to mask any effects that this has. (To get rid of that 3%, we could have an #defined number of mounts in the percpu variable. So, instead of a CPU getting operate only on percpu data when it accesses only one mount, it could stay on percpu data when it only accesses N or fewer mounts.)

2008-04-19[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: stub functionsDave Hansen
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the filesystem. Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS where writes are performed with a want/drop pair. When that is complete, we can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.

2008-04-19[PATCH] merge open_namei() and do_filp_open()Christoph Hellwig
open_namei() will, in the future, need to take mount write counts over its creation and truncation (via may_open()) operations. It needs to keep these write counts until any potential filp that is created gets __fput()'d. This gets complicated in the error handling and becomes very murky as to how far open_namei() actually got, and whether or not that mount write count was taken. That makes it a bad interface. All that the current do_filp_open() really does is allocate the nameidata on the stack, then call open_namei(). So, this merges those two functions and moves filp_open() over to namei.c so it can be close to its buddy: do_filp_open(). It also gets a kerneldoc comment in the process.
