* [PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmappedVladimir Saveliev2007-01-232-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

* [PATCH] fix blk_direct_IO bio preparationChen, Kenneth W2007-01-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For large size DIO that needs multiple bio, one full page worth of data was lost at the boundary of bio's maximum sector or segment limits. After a bio is full and got submitted. The outer while (nbytes) { ... } loop will allocate a new bio and just march on to index into next page. It just forgets about the page that bio_add_page() rejected when previous bio is full. Fix it by put the rejected page back to pvec so we pick it up again for the next bio.

The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it serves to specify the full OOB read length. The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken into account.

This helps rename/unlink on nfs exported file systems in particular as those clients compare directory time values to avoid a full re-reading a directory which hasn't changed. ocfs2_rename() loses some superfluous error handling as a result of this patch.

Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

But because get_block is called for only a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new(). So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file, and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment, ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head. I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data, if later inode page cache will be used. The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa. This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example... I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro for each return type, like this: static int return_EIO_int(void) { return -EIO; } #define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int)) static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops = { .create = EIO_ERROR_INT, ...etc... but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead & created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns a value.

An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B). 2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C). 3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock. This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the lock.

But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was not waited for IO completion. Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel. The trivial patch below addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable() calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage. Since free_fdtable() is a one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

This was the eCryptfs copy_attr_all: > -void ecryptfs_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src) > -{ > - dest->i_mode = src->i_mode; > - dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink; > - dest->i_uid = src->i_uid; > - dest->i_gid = src->i_gid; > - dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev; > - dest->i_atime = src->i_atime; > - dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime; > - dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime; > - dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits; > - dest->i_flags = src->i_flags; > -} This is the fsstack copy_attr_all: > +void fsstack_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src, > + int (*get_nlinks)(struct inode *)) > +{ > + if (!get_nlinks) > + dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink; > + else > + dest->i_nlink = (*get_nlinks)(dest); > + > + dest->i_mode = src->i_mode; > + dest->i_uid = src->i_uid; > + dest->i_gid = src->i_gid; > + dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev; > + dest->i_atime = src->i_atime; > + dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime; > + dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime; > + dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits; > + dest->i_flags = src->i_flags; > + > + fsstack_copy_inode_size(dest, src); > +} The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing right beforehand. I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit 0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006 -0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20. I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just remove the inode size copy. Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the stacked layer.

* | | | [PATCH] Fix XFS after clear_page_dirty() removalDavid Chinner2006-12-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag on the page first when we are writing back the entire page. Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after the page has been marked clean.
