* NFSv4: Move error handling out of the delegation generic codeTrond Myklebust2009-06-172-17/+16Star
| | | | | | | | The NFSv4 delegation recovery code is required by the protocol to handle more errors. Rather than add NFSv4.0 specific errors into 'generic' delegation code, we should move the error handling into the NFSv4 layer. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

| * | UBIFS: start using hrtimersArtem Bityutskiy2009-06-083-21/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS uses timers for write-buffer write-back. It is not crucial for us to write-back exactly on time. We are fine to write-back a little earlier or later. And this means we may optimize UBIFS timer so that it could be groped with a close timer event, so that the CPU would not be waken up just to do the write back. This is optimization to lessen power consumption, which is important in embedded devices UBIFS is used for. hrtimers have a nice feature: they are effectively range timers, and we may defind the soft and hard limits for it. Standard timers do not have these feature. They may only be made deferrable, but this means there is effectively no hard limit. So, we will better use hrtimers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS assumes that @c->min_io_size is 8 in case of NOR flash. This is because UBIFS alignes all nodes to 8-byte boundary, and maintaining @c->min_io_size introduced unnecessary complications.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS has erroneuosly set 'sb->s_dev' to the UBI volume character device major/minor. This may lead to clashes if there is another FS mounted to a block device with the same major/minor numbers. User-space programs which use 'stat->st_dev' may get confused because of this. This problem was found by Al Viro. He also pointed the way to fix the problem - use 'set_anon_super()' and 'kill_anon_super()' VFS helpers.

| * | UBIFS: return error if link and unlink raceHunter Adrian2009-05-191-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider a scenario when 'vfs_link(dirA/fileA)' and 'vfs_unlink(dirA/fileA, dirB/fileB)' race. 'vfs_link()' does not lock 'dirA->i_mutex', so this is possible. Both of the functions lock 'fileA->i_mutex' though. Suppose 'vfs_unlink()' wins, and takes 'fileA->i_mutex' mutex first. Suppose 'fileA->i_nlink' is 1. In this case 'ubifs_unlink()' will drop the last reference, and put 'inodeA' to the list of orphans. After this, 'vfs_link()' will link 'dirB/fileB' to 'inodeA'. Thir is a problem because, for example, the subsequent 'vfs_unlink(dirB/fileB)' will add the same inode to the list of orphans. This problem was reported by J. R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When UBIFS runs out of space it spends a lot of time trying to find more space before returning ENOSPC. As there is no point repeating that unless something has changed, UBIFS has an optimization to record that the file system is 100% full and not try to find space. That flag was not being reset when a pending deletion was finally done. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Reviewed-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in question. ext4 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel Netburst aka 'P4'). For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as well use it. So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries, header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file. [ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit. A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement in lmbench) due to broken caching. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread. When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large, this cause significant load. This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50% on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will guarantee that. So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory freeing. This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM size for the badness heuristic. This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same task during the next retry. Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be necessary. Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | send_sigio_to_task() reads fown->signum several times, we can race with F_SETSIG which changes ->signum lockless. In theory, this can fool security checks or we can call group_send_sig_info() with the wrong ->si_signo which does not match "int sig". Change the code to cache ->signum.

The character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding. The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in lots of places. This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must have yielded an undefined code. Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs). Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni methods have been left unchanged.

This extends the debugfs to enforce the file permissions for these types of registers by providing a set of fops which are read or write only. This assumes that the kernel developer knows more about the hardware than the user (even root users) -- which is normally true.

The result is that other files did not get removed when the module was removed. I simple read of one of those file can oops the kernel because the operations to the file no longer exist (removed by module). The funny thing is that the file being cat'ed was removed. It was the siblings that were not. I see in the code to debugfs_remove_recursive there's a test that checks if the child fails to bail out of the loop to prevent an infinite loop. What this patch does is to still try any siblings in that directory. If all the siblings fail, or there are no more siblings, then we exit the loop. This fixes the above symptom, but... This is no full proof. It makes the debugfs_remove_recursive a bit more robust, but it does not explain why the one file failed. There may be some kind of delay deletion that makes the debugfs think it did not succeed. So this patch is more of a fix for the symptom but not the disease. This patch still makes the debugfs_remove_recursive more robust and until I can find out why the bug exists, this patch will keep the kernel from oopsing in most cases. Even after the cause is found I think this change can stand on its own and should be kept.
