2009-09-14nilfs2: stop zero-fill of btree path just before free itRyusuke Konishi
The btree path object is cleared just before it is freed. This will remove the code doing the unnecessary clear operation. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-09-14nilfs2: remove unused btree argument from btree functionsRyusuke Konishi
Even though many btree functions take a btree object as their first argument, most of them are not used in their functions. This sticky use of the btree argument is hurting code readability and giving the possibility of inefficient code generation. So, this removes the unnecessary btree arguments.

2009-09-14nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3Jiro SEKIBA
This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period. This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time. When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments. Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction, however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction. This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from transaction lock and put it before the transaction. I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition. I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks before starting the benchmark. Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and bellow is average of those numers. According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated. However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved. This can address a few seconds write freeze. - random write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.843ms max 680.406ms avg 3.050ms - random write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.843ms -> 100.00% max 380.490ms -> 55.90% avg 3.233ms -> 106.00% - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 min 0.736ms max 774.343ms avg 2.883ms - sequential write per-request performance of rc8 w/ this patch min 0.720ms -> 97.80% max 644.280ms-> 83.20% avg 3.130ms -> 108.50% -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- protection_period 150 selection_policy timestamp # timestamp in ascend order nsegments_per_clean 2 cleaning_interval 2 retry_interval 60 use_mmap log_priority info -----8<-----8<-----nilfs_cleanerd.conf-----8<-----8<----- Signed-off-by: Jiro SEKIBA <jir@unicus.jp> Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2009-09-14nilfs2: stop using periodic write_super callbackJiro SEKIBA
This removes nilfs_write_super and commit super block in nilfs internal thread, instead of periodic write_super callback. VFS layer calls ->write_super callback periodically. However, it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy. And when cleanerd (nilfs GC) is runnig, disk I/O tend to be busy thus nilfs superblock is not synchronized as nilfs designed. To avoid it, syncing superblock by nilfs thread instead of pdflush.

This removes redundant super block commit. nilfs_write_super will call nilfs_commit_super to store super block into block device.

2009-09-14nilfs2: always lookup disk block address before reading metadata blockRyusuke Konishi
The current metadata file code skips disk address lookup for its data block if the buffer has a mapped flag. This has a potential risk to cause read request to be performed against the stale block address that GC moved, and it may lead to meta data corruption. The mapped flag is safe if the buffer has an uptodate flag, otherwise it may prevent necessary update of disk address in the next read. This will avoid the potential problem by ensuring disk address lookup before reading metadata block even for buffers with the mapped flag.

2009-09-14nilfs2: use semaphore to protect pointer to a writable FS-instanceRyusuke Konishi
will get rid of nilfs_get_writer() and nilfs_put_writer() pair used to retain a writable FS-instance for a period. The pair functions were making up some kind of recursive lock with a mutex, but they became overkill since the commit 201913ed746c7724a40d33ee5a0b6a1fd2ef3193.

In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot(). It is then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir. Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the page remains pinned forever. Repeat that a couple times with highmem pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole system comes to a halt.

2009-09-05exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutexOleg Nesterov
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read /proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since "mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec" 04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d commit in 2.6.31. But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC. The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(), another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the tracee resumes. With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and we do not hold it throughout, instead: - introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred. - install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(), and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop(). or, if exec fails, free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

This resolve a bug, but it isn't completed and the dentry is still there. When we want to use it again, ocfs2_dentry_revalidate doesn't catch it and return true. That make future ocfs2_dentry_lock panic out. One bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1162.

2009-08-27inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.Eric W. Biederman
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0' byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of event_size. Ouch! So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to do.

If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2009-08-24NFSv4: Fix an infinite looping problem with the nfs4_state_managerTrond Myklebust
Commit 76db6d9500caeaa774a3e32a997eba30bbdc176b (nfs41: add session setup to the state manager) introduces an infinite loop possibility in the NFSv4 state manager. By first checking nfs4_has_session() before clearing the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP flag, it allows for a situation where someone sets that flag, but it never gets cleared, and so the state manager loops. In fact commit c3fad1b1aaf850bf692642642ace7cd0d64af0a3 (nfs41: add session reset to state manager) causes this to happen every time we get a network partition error.

2009-08-24mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock callHugh Dickins
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy(). In detail: Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock() is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

2009-08-24ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not ↵Jan Kara
possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2009-08-24ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDEREDTheodore Ts'o
The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered. Despite the fact that old description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy' default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the whole story. This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3 developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

2009-08-21Re-introduce page mapping check in mark_buffer_dirty()Linus Torvalds
In commit a8e7d49aa7be728c4ae241a75a2a124cdcabc0c5 ("Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside __set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers. That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable. And indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen. Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla entries that look similar: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876 and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate). I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.

2009-08-21btrfs: fix inode rbtree corruptionFrom: Nick Piggin
Node may not be inserted over existing node. This causes inode tree corruption and I was seeing crashes in inode_tree_del which I can not reproduce after this patch. The other way to fix this would be to tie inode lifetime in the rbtree with inode while not in freeing state. I had a look at this but it is not so trivial at this point. At least this patch gets things working again.

2009-08-20ocfs2/dlm: Wait on lockres instead of erroring cancel requestsGoldwyn Rodrigues
In case a downconvert is queued, and a flock receives a signal, BUG_ON(lockres->l_action != OCFS2_AST_INVALID) is triggered because a lock cancel triggers a dlmunlock while an AST is scheduled. To avoid this, allow a LKM_CANCEL to pass through, and let it wait on __dlm_wait_on_lockres().
