2006-06-25[PATCH] epoll: use unlocked wqueue operationsDavide Libenzi
A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait queue head lock (->lock). Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd. Since lockdep is working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies enforced in other parts of the code. It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the ep_poll_safewake() function. While looking again at the code though, I noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member. This makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy. Running totalmess on my dual opteron for a while did not reveal any problem so far: http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-25[PATCH] Make EXT2_DEBUG work againValerie Henson
This patch makes EXT2_DEBUG work again. Due to lack of proper include file, EXT2_DEBUG was undefined in bitmap.c and ext2_count_free() is left out. Moved to balloc.c and removed bitmap.c entirely. Second, debug versions of ext2_count_free_{inodes/blocks} reacquires superblock lock. Moved lock into callers.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixesMingming Cao
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based). While trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning). So it seem saner to define two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is group-relative blocks. The following patches clarify these two types of blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3 filesystem limit to 8TB. With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB. This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for ext3 filesystem block corresponding. Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have been reviewed and discussed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2 Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and >8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39). Tests includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress. This patch: Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for filesystem wide blocks. This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before. Also include kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables. There are some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code. This patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned long) type.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Prepare for __copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero missed bytesNeilBrown
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*. This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing to see). If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an error. The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out bytes on failure. The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption. The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail. Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find). This patch: There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they shouldn't be. In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data (zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes. Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in __copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail. This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail. This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h. After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".

UFS1 hold this information in one location and uses 32bit integers for such information, UFS2 hold statistic in another location and uses 64bit integers. There is transition variant, if UFS1 has type 44BSD and flags field in super block has some special value this mean that we work with statistic like UFS2 does. and this also means that nobody care about old(UFS1) statistic.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ufs: change block number on the flyEvgeniy Dushistov
First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough, 16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block. How this situation was handled before: ufs_prepare_write ->block_prepare_write ->ufs_getfrag_block ->... ->ufs_new_fragments: bh = sb_bread bh->b_blocknr = result + i; mark_buffer_dirty (bh); This is wrong solution, because: - it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page cache" - because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find certain block, this breaks sb_getblk. How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

2006-06-23[PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flagJens Axboe
A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async, and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ, this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling. Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

2006-06-23[PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitionsMike Miller
Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a disk device. This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions. We still permit these patitions to be used. Quoting Andries Brouwer <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>: Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk. (There are commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a disk that it should report a certain capacity etc. Usually this is because of BIOS bugs. In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an unclip utility. I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason. Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk. Now using the filesystem goes without problem. Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk. In forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a disk. Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

2006-06-23[PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 ↵Mingming Cao
free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

2006-06-23[PATCH] ext3_clear_inode(): avoid kfree(NULL)Andrew Morton
Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> points out that `rsv' here is usually NULL, so we should avoid calling kfree(). Also, fix up some nearby whitespace damage. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-23[PATCH] jbd: avoid kfree(NULL)Andrew Morton
There are a couple of places where JBD has to check to see whether an unneeded memory allocation was performed. Usually it _was_ needed, so we end up calling kfree(NULL). We can micro-optimise that by checking the pointer before calling kfree(). Thanks to Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> for identifying this.

2006-06-23[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction()Jan Kara
Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and buffer is not jbddirty). !jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means that it has been freed by this transaction. Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed (that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set. And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm. Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

2006-06-23[PATCH] Poll cleanups/microoptimizationsVadim Lobanov
The "count" and "pt" variables are declared and modified by do_poll(), as well as accessed and written indirectly in the do_pollfd() subroutine. This patch pulls all handling of these variables into the do_poll() function, thereby eliminating the odd use of indirection in do_pollfd(). This is done by pulling the "struct pollfd" traversal loop from do_pollfd() into its only caller do_poll(). As an added bonus, the patch saves a few clock cycles, and also adds comments to make the code easier to follow.

2006-06-23[PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operationMiklos Szeredi
Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation. This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some network filesystems would need this also. Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case.

2006-06-23[PATCH] locks: clean up locks_remove_posix()Miklos Szeredi
locks_remove_posix() can use posix_lock_file() instead of doing the lock removal by hand. posix_lock_file() now does exacly the same. The comment about pids no longer applies, posix_lock_file() takes only the owner into account.
