* | NFS: Prevent nfs_getattr() hang during heavy write workloadsChuck Lever2008-01-301-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX requires that ctime and mtime, as reported by the stat(2) call, reflect the activity of the most recent write(2). To that end, nfs_getattr() flushes pending dirty writes to a file before doing a GETATTR to allow the NFS server to set the file's size, ctime, and mtime properly. However, nfs_getattr() can be starved when a constant stream of application writes to a file prevents nfs_wb_nocommit() from completing. This usually results in hangs of programs doing a stat against an NFS file that is being written. "ls -l" is a common victim of this behavior. To prevent starvation, hold the file's i_mutex in nfs_getattr() to freeze applications writes temporarily so the client can more quickly obtain clean values for a file's size, mtime, and ctime.

* | NFS: Ensure nfs_wcc_update_inode always converts file size to loff_tChuck Lever2008-01-301-2/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nfs_wcc_update_inode() function omits logic to convert the type of the NFS on-the-wire value of a file's size (__u64) to the type of file size value stored in struct inode (loff_t, which is signed). Everywhere else in the NFS client I checked already correctly converts the file size type. This effects only very large files.

* NFS: Fix a race in sillyrenameTrond Myklebust2007-10-191-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename() completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the latter may be held by whoever is calling dput(). We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename completion. If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

* Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffiesFabio Olive Leite2007-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result, causing incorrect assumptions of validity. 2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense). Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after. This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period and another full 2^31 range of jiffies. In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server: Initial uptime: 03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07 NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced: 03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08 # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar # touch /local/A/foo/bar # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows the old value.

* 64 bit ino support for NFS clientPeter Staubach2007-10-091-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi. Attached is a patch to modify the NFS client code to support 64 bit ino's, as appropriate for the system and the NFS protocol version. The code basically just expand the NFS interfaces for routines which handle ino's from using ino_t to u64 and then uses the fileid in the nfs_inode instead of i_ino in the inode. The code paths that were updated are in the getattr method and the readdir methods. This should be no real change on 64 bit platforms. Since the ino_t is an unsigned long, it would already be 64 bits wide. Thanx... ps Signed-off-by: Peter Staubach <staubach@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.
