2006-05-01[PATCH] vmsplice: allow user to pass in gift pagesJens Axboe
If SPLICE_F_GIFT is set, the user is basically giving this pages away to the kernel. That means we can steal them for eg page cache uses instead of copying it. The data must be properly page aligned and also a multiple of the page size in length. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user spaceJens Axboe
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic() instead. lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched. Vanilla-UP: Pipe bandwidth: 1622.28 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1610.59 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1608.30 MB/sec Pipe latency: 7.3275 microseconds Pipe latency: 7.2995 microseconds Pipe latency: 7.3097 microseconds Vanilla-SMP: Pipe bandwidth: 1382.19 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1317.27 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1355.61 MB/sec Pipe latency: 9.6402 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.6696 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.6153 microseconds Patched-SMP: Pipe bandwidth: 1578.70 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1579.95 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1578.63 MB/sec Pipe latency: 9.1654 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.2266 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.1527 microseconds Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] splice: call handle_ra_miss() on failure to lookup pageJens Axboe

2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operationJens Axboe
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now, since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste of time doing it. Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] splice: fix bugs in pipe_to_file()Jens Axboe
Found by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>, fixed by me. - Only allow full pages to go to the page cache. - Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN. - Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails. And as a cleanup on that: - Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-30[PATCH] splice: fix bugs with stealing regular pipe pagesJens Axboe
- Check that page has suitable count for stealing in the regular pipes. - pipe_to_file() assumes that the page is locked on succesful steal, so do that in the pipe steal hook - Missing unlock_page() in add_to_page_cache() failure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc: Wire up *at syscallsAndreas Schwab
Wire up *at syscalls.

2006-04-27[PATCH] splice: make the read-side do batched page lookupsJens Axboe
Use the new find_get_pages_contig() to potentially look up the entire splice range in one single call. This speeds up generic_file_splice_read() quite a bit. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-04-26[PATCH] LSM: add missing hook to do_compat_readv_writev()James Morris
This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv() and writev() in for 32-bit compatible apps using a 64-bit kernel. This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code. Thanks to Al for spotting this one.

2006-04-26[PATCH] forgotten ->b_data in memcpy() call in ext3/resize.c (oopsable)Al Viro
sbi->s_group_desc is an array of pointers to buffer_head. memcpy() of buffer size from address of buffer_head is a bad idea - it will generate junk in any case, may oops if buffer_head is close to the end of slab page and next page is not mapped and isn't what was intended there. IOW, ->b_data is missing in that call. Fortunately, result doesn't go into the primary on-disk data structures, so only backup ones get crap written to them; that had allowed this bug to remain unnoticed until now.

We need these for people writing their own ->splice_read/write hooks. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-26[PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscallJens Axboe
sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice() moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead. This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network receive support as well.

2006-04-26[fuse] fix race between checking and setting file->private_dataMiklos Szeredi

2006-04-26[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end(), try #2Miklos Szeredi
A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was held due to a background request containing a file reference. Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock results. The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by sbput_sem. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
2006-04-26Revert "[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()"Miklos Szeredi
This reverts 73ce8355c243a434524a34c05cc417dd0467996e commit. It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement, that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount. The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
2006-04-26[PATCH] splice: fix offset problemsJens Axboe
Make the move_from_pipe() actors return number of bytes processed, then move_from_pipe() can decide more cleverly when to move on to the next buffer. This fixes problems with pipe offset and differing file offset. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl() returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock and try to take it again with obvious consequences.

2006-04-19[PATCH] Fix file lookup without refDipankar Sarma
There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

2006-04-19[PATCH] task: Make task list manipulations RCU safeEric W. Biederman
While we can currently walk through thread groups, process groups, and sessions with just the rcu_read_lock, this opens the door to walking the entire task list. We already have all of the other RCU guarantees so there is no cost in doing this, this should be enough so that proc can stop taking the tasklist lock during readdir. prev_task was killed because it has no users, and using it will miss new tasks when doing an rcu traversal.

2006-04-18x86: be careful about tailcall breakage for sys_open[at] tooLinus Torvalds
Came up through a quick grep for other cases similar to the ftruncate() one in commit 0a489cb3b6a7b277030cdbc97c2c65905db94536. Also, add a comment, so that people who read the code understand why we do what looks like a no-op. (Again, this won't actually matter to any sane user, since libc will save and restore the register gcc stomps on, but it's still wrong to stomp on it) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-04-18x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()Linus Torvalds
Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for "asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in %ebx getting corrupted in user space. Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong. I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).
