2007-07-17mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registrationRusty Russell
I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure is called. I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it. It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help. 1) Don't hide struct shrinker. It contains no magic. 2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker". It's not helpful. 3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker". 4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker". 5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

2007-07-17Lumpy Reclaim V4Andy Whitcroft
When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim. The current reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders. To get pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory; >95% in a lot of cases. This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator. It targets groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and inactive lists. This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to move from active to inactive, and active to free lists. This behaviour is only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been requested. This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability together. This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms the foundation. Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking. Mel said: The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing. When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can be resized with greater reliability. Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own was very slow as the success rate was quite low. Without lumpy-reclaim, each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages. With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

2007-07-17Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may ↵Mel Gorman
be migrated It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.

2007-07-16Fix LDM for new field in the VOL5 VBLK.Anton Altaparmakov
Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista. This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter assignment from one or more volumes. Doing this introduces a so far unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM fails to parse the disk altogether. This patch teaches the driver about this field. Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the problem and working with me on getting it fixed. It is now working for him.

This is a patch that speeds up statfs. It is very simple - the "overhead" calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes. That means we can store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized (almost never). It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted. While not fatal, we may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.

2007-07-16HFS+: refactor ASCII to unicode conversion routine for later reuseDuane Griffin
The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations. This can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with varying case and/or character (de)composition. These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems. Unicode decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal. This patch: Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out character conversion functionality. This will be reused by the custom dentry hash and comparison routines. This approach avoids unnecessary memory allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new functions.

2007-07-16diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architecturesVasily Tarasov
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be 32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at if_dqblk structure: struct if_dqblk { __u64 dqb_bhardlimit; __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curspace; __u64 dqb_ihardlimit; __u64 dqb_isoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curinodes; __u64 dqb_btime; __u64 dqb_itime; __u32 dqb_valid; }; For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44. But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment! Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function, that handles this and related situations.

2007-07-16hugetlbfs: handle empty options stringLee Schermerhorn
I was seeing a null pointer deref in fs/super.c:vfs_kern_mount(). Some file system get_sb() handler was returning NULL mnt_sb with a non-negative return value. I also noticed a "hugetlbfs: Bad mount option:" message in the log. Turns out that hugetlbfs_parse_options() was not checking for an empty option string after call to strsep(). On failure, hugetlbfs_parse_options() returns 1. hugetlbfs_fill_super() just passed this return code back up the call stack where vfs_kern_mount() missed the error and proceeded with a NULL mnt_sb. Apparently introduced by patch: hugetlbfs-use-lib-parser-fix-docs.patch The problem was exposed by this line in my fstab: none /huge hugetlbfs defaults 0 0 It can also be demonstrated by invoking mount of hugetlbfs directly with no options or a bogus option. This patch: 1) adds the check for empty option to hugetlbfs_parse_options(), 2) enhances the error message to bracket any unrecognized option with quotes , 3) modifies hugetlbfs_parse_options() to return -EINVAL on any unrecognized option, 4) adds a BUG_ON() to vfs_kern_mount() to catch any get_sb() handler that returns a NULL mnt->mnt_sb with a return value >= 0.

2007-07-16ext3/ext4: orphan list corruption due bad inodeVasily Averin
After ext3 orphan list check has been added into ext3_destroy_inode() (please see my previous patch) the following situation has been detected: EXT3-fs warning (device sda6): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (37901290), 0 Inode 00000101a15b7840: orphan list check failed! 00000773 6f665f00 74616d72 00000573 65725f00 06737270 66000000 616d726f ...

Second message means that this inode has not been removed from orphan list. Inode dump has showed that i_fop = &bad_file_ops and it can be set in make_bad_inode() only. Then I've found that ext3_read_inode() can call make_bad_inode() without any error/warning messages, for example in the following case: ... if (inode->i_nlink == 0) { if (inode->i_mode == 0 || !(EXT3_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT3_ORPHAN_FS)) { /* this inode is deleted */ brelse (bh); goto bad_inode; ... Bad inode can live some time, ext3_unlink can add it to orphan list, but ext3_delete_inode() do not deleted this inode from orphan list. As result we can have orphan list corruption detected in ext3_destroy_inode(). However it is not clear for me how to fix this issue correctly. As far as i see is_bad_inode() is called after iget() in all places excluding ext3_lookup() and ext3_get_parent(). I believe it makes sense to add bad inode check to these functions too and call iput if bad inode detected.

2007-07-16seq_file: more atomicity in traverse()Alexey Dobriyan
Original problem: in some circumstances seq_file interface can present infinite proc file to the following script when normally said proc file is finite: while read line; do [do something with $line] done </proc/$FILE bash, to implement such loop does essentially read(0, buf, 128); [find \n] lseek(0, -difference, SEEK_CUR); Consider, proc file prints list of objects each of them consists of many lines, each line is shorter than 128 bytes. Two objects in list, with ->index'es being 0 and 1. Current one is 1, as bash prints second object line by line. Imagine first object being removed right before lseek(). traverse() will be called, because there is negative offset. traverse() will reset ->index to 0 (!). traverse() will call ->next() and get NULL in any usual iterate-over-list code using list_for_each_entry_continue() and such. There is one object in list now after all... traverse() will return 0, lseek() will update file position and pretend everything is OK. So, what we have now: ->f_pos points to place where second object will be printed, but ->index is 0. seq_read() instead of returning EOF, will start printing first line of first object every time it's called, until enough objects are added to ->f_pos return in bounds. Fix is to update ->index only after we're sure we saw enough objects down the road.

2007-07-16O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTSUlrich Drepper
Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received through Unix domain sockets. The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better. This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations. The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported. Here's a test program to make sure the code works. It's so much longer than the actual patch... #include <errno.h> #include <error.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/un.h> #ifndef O_CLOEXEC # define O_CLOEXEC 02000000 #endif #ifndef MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC # define MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC 0x40000000 #endif int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc > 1) { int fd = atol (argv[1]); printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd); if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF) { puts ("file descriptor valid in child"); return 1; } return 0; } struct sockaddr_un sun; strcpy (sun.sun_path, "./testsocket"); sun.sun_family = AF_UNIX; char databuf[] = "hello"; struct iovec iov[1]; iov[0].iov_base = databuf; iov[0].iov_len = sizeof (databuf); union { struct cmsghdr hdr; char bytes[CMSG_SPACE (sizeof (int))]; } buf; struct msghdr msg = { .msg_iov = iov, .msg_iovlen = 1, .msg_control = buf.bytes, .msg_controllen = sizeof (buf) }; struct cmsghdr *cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR (&msg); cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET; cmsg->cmsg_type = SCM_RIGHTS; cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN (sizeof (int)); msg.msg_controllen = cmsg->cmsg_len; pid_t child = fork (); if (child == -1) error (1, errno, "fork"); if (child == 0) { int sock = socket (PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (sock < 0) error (1, errno, "socket"); if (bind (sock, (struct sockaddr *) &sun, sizeof (sun)) < 0) error (1, errno, "bind"); if (listen (sock, SOMAXCONN) < 0) error (1, errno, "listen"); int conn = accept (sock, NULL, NULL); if (conn == -1) error (1, errno, "accept"); *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg) = sock; if (sendmsg (conn, &msg, MSG_NOSIGNAL) < 0) error (1, errno, "sendmsg"); return 0; } /* For a test suite this should be more robust like a barrier in shared memory. */ sleep (1); int sock = socket (PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (sock < 0) error (1, errno, "socket"); if (connect (sock, (struct sockaddr *) &sun, sizeof (sun)) < 0) error (1, errno, "connect"); unlink (sun.sun_path); *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg) = -1; if (recvmsg (sock, &msg, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) < 0) error (1, errno, "recvmsg"); int fd = *(int *) CMSG_DATA (cmsg); if (fd == -1) error (1, 0, "no descriptor received"); char fdname[20]; snprintf (fdname, sizeof (fdname), "%d", fd); execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], fdname, NULL); puts ("execl failed"); return 1; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Fix fastcall inconsistency noted by Michael Buesch] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Acked-by: David S.

2007-07-16Introduce O_CLOEXECUlrich Drepper
The problem is as follows: in multi-threaded code (or more correctly: all code using clone() with CLONE_FILES) we have a race when exec'ing. thread #1 thread #2 fd=open() fork + exec fcntl(fd,F_SETFD,FD_CLOEXEC) In some applications this can happen frequently. Take a web browser. One thread opens a file and another thread starts, say, an external PDF viewer. The result can even be a security issue if that open file descriptor refers to a sensitive file and the external program can somehow be tricked into using that descriptor. Just adding O_CLOEXEC support to open() doesn't solve the whole set of problems. There are other ways to create file descriptors (socket, epoll_create, Unix domain socket transfer, etc). These can and should be addressed separately though. open() is such an easy case that it makes not much sense putting the fix off. The test program: #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #ifndef O_CLOEXEC # define O_CLOEXEC 02000000 #endif int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; if (argc > 1) { fd = atol (argv[1]); printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd); if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF) { puts ("file descriptor valid in child"); return 1; } return 0; } fd = open ("/proc/self/exe", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC); printf ("in parent: new fd = %d\n", fd); char buf[20]; snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%d", fd); execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], buf, NULL); puts ("execl failed"); return 1; } [kyle@parisc-linux.org: parisc fix] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Acked-by: David S.
