2008-07-28eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memoryEric Sandeen
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc. My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2 different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the corruption.

2008-07-28vfs: pagecache usage optimization for pagesize!=blocksizeHisashi Hifumi
When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO is issued and this page will be uptodate. I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate. So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can reduce read IO and improve system throughput. I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program. This benchmark do: 1: mount and open a test file. 2: create a 512MB file. 3: close a file and umount. 4: mount and again open a test file. 5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned by IO size(1024bytes). 6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file. The result was: 2.6.26 330 sec 2.6.26-patched 226 sec Arch:i386 Filesystem:ext3 Blocksize:1024 bytes Memory: 1GB On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result showed this. The benchmark program is as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mount.h> #define LEN 1024 #define LOOP 1024*512 /* 512MB */ main(void) { unsigned long i, offset, filesize; int fd; char buf[LEN]; time_t t1, t2; if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } memset(buf, 0, LEN); fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < LOOP; i++) write(fd, buf, LEN); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) { perror("cannot mount\n"); exit(1); } fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) { perror("cannot open file\n"); exit(1); } filesize = LEN * LOOP; for (i = 0; i < 300000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pwrite(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } printf("start test\n"); time(&t1); for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++){ offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1)); pread(fd, buf, LEN, offset); } time(&t2); printf("%ld sec\n", t2-t1); close(fd); if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) { perror("cannot umount\n"); exit(1); } } Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-28binfmt_elf_fdpic: Magical stack pointer index, for NEW_AUX_ENT compat.Paul Mundt
While implementing binfmt_elf_fdpic on SH it quickly became apparent that SH was the first platform to support both binfmt_elf_fdpic and binfmt_elf, as well as the only of the FDPIC platforms to make use of the auxvt. Currently binfmt_elf_fdpic uses a special version of NEW_AUX_ENT() where the first argument is the entry displacement after csp has been adjusted, being reset after each adjustment. As we have no ability to sort this out through the platform's ARCH_DLINFO, this index needs to be managed entirely in create_elf_fdpic_tables(). Presently none of the platforms that set their own auxvt entries are able to do so through their respective ARCH_DLINFOs when using binfmt_elf_fdpic. In addition to this, binfmt_elf_fdpic has been looking at DLINFO_ARCH_ITEMS for the number of architecture-specific entries in the auxvt. This is legacy cruft, and is not defined by any platforms in-tree, even those that make heavy use of the auxvt. AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is always available, and contains the number that is of interest here, so we switch to using that unconditionally as well. As this has direct bearing on how much stack is used, platforms that have configurable (or dynamically adjustable) NEW_AUX_ENT calls need to either make AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH more fine-grained, or leave it as a worst-case and live with some lost stack space if those entries aren't pushed (some platforms may also need to purposely sacrifice some space here for alignment considerations, as noted in the code -- although not an issue for any FDPIC-capable platform today).

Since Ulrich is OK with getting rid of dup3(fd, fd, flags) completely, to hell the damn thing goes. Corner case for dup2() is handled in sys_dup2() (complete with -EBADF if dup2(fd, fd) is called with fd that is not open), the rest is done in dup3(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-07-26[PATCH] dup3 fixUlrich Drepper
Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code. The dup2() function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file descriptor. In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag. The patch below implements this minor change.

2008-07-26[patch 4/4] vfs: immutable inode checking cleanupMiklos Szeredi
Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes into notify_change(). Checks for immutable and append-only files are always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok(). This should be completely equivalent.

2008-07-26[patch 3/4] fat: dont call notify_changeMiklos Szeredi
The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change the file mode before changing the inode attributes. Replace with explicit calls to security_inode_setattr(), fat_setattr() and fsnotify_change(). This is equivalent to the original. The reason it is needed, is that later in the series we move the immutable check into notify_change(). That would break the FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, as it needs to perform the mode change regardless of the immutability of the file. [Fix error if fat is built as a module.

2008-07-26[patch 1/4] vfs: utimes: move owner check into inode_change_ok()Miklos Szeredi
Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases. In these cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a timestamp. See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for {UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch introducing this behavior. This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to perform their own permission checking instead of the default.

hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file. HPFS doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to generic_permission(). This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and security_inode_permission() are not called. The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so these security checks are unnecessary. I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable. But I leave that to the maintainer to decide.

2008-07-26[patch] vfs: fix lookup on deleted directoryMiklos Szeredi
Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on disk, even after all external references have gone away. This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can overflow. Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory before creating a child dentry. Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.
