2008-07-26SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructorAlexey Dobriyan
Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are themselves multiplexeres.

2008-07-26splice: use get_user_pages_fastNick Piggin
Use get_user_pages_fast in splice. This reverts some mmap_sem batching there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing. Further: on architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem can be avoided completely anyway.

2008-07-25fuse: nfs export special lookupsMiklos Szeredi
Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with ".." as the name. Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from the cache. This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name (for all file types, not just directories). The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to indicate that it supports these special lookups. Thanks to John Muir for the original implementation of this feature.

2008-07-25fuse: add export operationsMiklos Szeredi
Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely used and tested. It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing it, than through the kernel. While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way. If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away, which would have several advantages: - not having to maintain two versions - less confusion for users - no bugs due to kernel API changes Comment from hch: - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.

2008-07-25locks: allow ->lock() to return FILE_LOCK_DEFERREDMiklos Szeredi
Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous. Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: "J.

2008-07-25locks: add special return value for asynchronous locksMiklos Szeredi
Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is called or fl_wait is woken up). f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well as non-sleeping locks. This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking. This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly cleaner. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Cc: "J.

Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead of NLM_LCK_DENIED. The latter means the lock request failed because of a conflicting lock (i.e. a temporary error), which is wrong in this case. Also fix the client to return ENOLCK instead of EAGAIN if a blocking lock request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.

2008-07-25task IO accounting: provide distinct tgid/tid I/O statisticsAndrea Righi
Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times. As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found in /proc/pid/io.

2008-07-25coredump: move mm->core_waiters into struct core_stateOleg Nesterov
Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes. This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return. The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this is fixed by the next patch.

2008-07-25coredump: turn mm->core_startup_done into the pointer to struct core_stateOleg Nesterov
mm->core_startup_done points to "struct completion startup_done" allocated on the coredump_wait()'s stack. Introduce the new structure, core_state, which holds this "struct completion". This way we can add more info visible to the threads participating in coredump without enlarging mm_struct. No changes in affected .o files.

2008-07-25coredump: elf_core_dump: skip kernel threadsOleg Nesterov
linux_binfmt->core_dump() runs before the process does exit_aio(), this means that we can hit the kernel thread which shares the same ->mm. Afaics, nothing really bad can happen, but perhaps it makes sense to fix this minor bug. It is sad we have to iterate over all threads in system and use GFP_ATOMIC. Hopefully we can kill theses ugly do_each_thread()s, but this needs some nontrivial changes in mm_struct and do_coredump.

2008-07-25coredump: zap_threads() must skip kernel threadsOleg Nesterov
The main loop in zap_threads() must skip kthreads which may use the same mm. Otherwise we "kill" this thread erroneously (for example, it can not fork or exec after that), and the coredumping task stucks in the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state forever because of the wrong ->core_waiters count.

2008-07-25kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREADOleg Nesterov
Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users. No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further fixes/cleanups. oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper: /* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */ struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk) { if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD) return NULL; return tsk->mm; } Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

2008-07-25introduce PF_KTHREAD flagOleg Nesterov
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead). daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway. This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler(). Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die soon.
