2009-04-03NFS: Define and create superblock-level objectsDavid Howells
Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by nfs_server structs). Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself an index into which inode-level objects are inserted. Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option exists this isn't possible. The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of: (1) Certain superblock s_flags. (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for sget(). (3) The volume FSID. (4) The security flavour. (5) The uniquifier length. (6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier. The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6). The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent. This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error otherwise produced.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Implement data I/O part of netfs APIDavid Howells
Implement the data I/O part of the FS-Cache netfs API. The documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch. This patch implements the following functions for the netfs to call: (*) fscache_attr_changed(). Indicate that the object has changed its attributes. The only attribute currently recorded is the file size. Only pages within the set file size will be stored in the cache. This operation is submitted for asynchronous processing, and will return immediately. It will return -ENOMEM if an out of memory error is encountered, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached, or 0 if the operation is successfully queued. (*) fscache_read_or_alloc_page(). (*) fscache_read_or_alloc_pages(). Request data be fetched from the disk, and allocate internal metadata to track the netfs pages and reserve disk space for unknown pages. These operations perform semi-asynchronous data reads. Upon returning they will indicate which pages they think can be retrieved from disk, and will have set in progress attempts to retrieve those pages. These will return, in order of preference, -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS if a signal interrupted proceedings, -ENODATA if one or more requested pages are not yet cached, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached or if there isn't space for future pages to be cached on this object, or 0 if successful. In the case of the multipage function, the pages for which reads are set in progress will be removed from the list and the page count decreased appropriately. If any read operations should fail, the completion function will be given an error, and will also be passed contextual information to allow the netfs to fall back to querying the server for the absent pages. For each successful read, the page completion function will also be called. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_alloc_page(). Allocate internal metadata to track a netfs page and reserve disk space. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_write_page(). Request data be stored to disk. This may only be called on pages that have been read or alloc'd by the above three functions and have not yet been uncached. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't immediately enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. On a successful return, this operation will have queued the page for asynchronous writing to the cache. The page will be returned with PG_fscache_write set until the write completes one way or another. The caller will not be notified if the write fails due to an I/O error. If that happens, the object will become available and all pending writes will be aborted. Note that the cache may batch up page writes, and so it may take a while to get around to writing them out. The caller must assume that until PG_fscache_write is cleared the page is use by the cache. Any changes made to the page may be reflected on disk. The page may even be under DMA. (*) fscache_uncache_page(). Indicate that the cache should stop tracking a page previously read or alloc'd from the cache. If the page was alloc'd only, but unwritten, it will not appear on disk.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Implement the cookie management part of the netfs APIDavid Howells
Implement the cookie management part of the FS-Cache netfs client API. The documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch. This patch implements the following three functions: (1) fscache_acquire_cookie(). Acquire a cookie to represent an object to the netfs. If the object in question is a non-index object, then that object and its parent indices will be created on disk at this point if they don't already exist. Index creation is deferred because an index may reside in multiple caches. (2) fscache_relinquish_cookie(). Retire or release a cookie previously acquired. At this point, the object on disk may be destroyed. (3) fscache_update_cookie(). Update the in-cache representation of a cookie. This is used to update the auxiliary data for coherency management purposes. With this patch it is possible to have a netfs instruct a cache backend to look up, validate and create metadata on disk and to destroy it again. The ability to actually store and retrieve data in the objects so created is added in later patches. Note that these functions will never return an error. _All_ errors are handled internally to FS-Cache. The worst that can happen is that fscache_acquire_cookie() may return a NULL pointer - which is considered a negative cookie pointer and can be passed back to any function that takes a cookie without harm. A negative cookie pointer merely suppresses caching at that level. The stub in linux/fscache.h will detect inline the negative cookie pointer and abort the operation as fast as possible. This means that the compiler doesn't have to set up for a call in that case. See the documentation in Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt for more information.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Add netfs registrationDavid Howells
Add functions to register and unregister a network filesystem or other client of the FS-Cache service. This allocates and releases the cookie representing the top-level index for a netfs, and makes it available to the netfs. If the FS-Cache facility is disabled, then the calls are optimised away at compile time. Note that whilst this patch may appear to work with FS-Cache enabled and a netfs attempting to use it, it will leak the cookie it allocates for the netfs as fscache_relinquish_cookie() is implemented in a later patch. This will cause the slab code to emit a warning when the module is removed.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache cache backend API and documentationDavid Howells

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache netfs API and documentationDavid Howells
Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which filesystems (such as AFS or NFS) may call on local caching capabilities without having to know anything about how the cache works, or even if there is a cache: +---------+ | | +--------------+ | NFS |--+ | | | | | +-->| CacheFS | +---------+ | +----------+ | | /dev/hda5 | | | | | +--------------+ +---------+ +-->| | | | | | |--+ | AFS |----->| FS-Cache | | | | |--+ +---------+ +-->| | | | | | | +--------------+ +---------+ | +----------+ | | | | | | +-->| CacheFiles | | ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache | | | +--------------+ +---------+ General documentation and documentation of the netfs specific API are provided in addition to the header files. As this patch stands, it is possible to build a filesystem against the facility and attempt to use it. All that will happen is that all requests will be immediately denied as if no cache is present. Further patches will implement the core of the facility. The facility will transfer requests from networking filesystems to appropriate caches if possible, or else gracefully deny them. If this facility is disabled in the kernel configuration, then all its operations will trivially reduce to nothing during compilation. WHY NOT I_MAPPING? ================== I have added my own API to implement caching rather than using i_mapping to do this for a number of reasons. These have been discussed a lot on the LKML and CacheFS mailing lists, but to summarise the basics: (1) Most filesystems don't do hole reportage. Holes in files are treated as blocks of zeros and can't be distinguished otherwise, making it difficult to distinguish blocks that have been read from the network and cached from those that haven't. (2) The backing inode must be fully populated before being exposed to userspace through the main inode because the VM/VFS goes directly to the backing inode and does not interrogate the front inode's VM ops. Therefore: (a) The backing inode must fit entirely within the cache. (b) All backed files currently open must fit entirely within the cache at the same time. (c) A working set of files in total larger than the cache may not be cached. (d) A file may not grow larger than the available space in the cache. (e) A file that's open and cached, and remotely grows larger than the cache is potentially stuffed. (3) Writes go to the backing filesystem, and can only be transferred to the network when the file is closed. (4) There's no record of what changes have been made, so the whole file must be written back. (5) The pages belong to the backing filesystem, and all metadata associated with that page are relevant only to the backing filesystem, and not anything stacked atop it. OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache provides (or will provide) the following facilities: (1) Caches can be added / removed at any time, even whilst in use. (2) Adds a facility by which tags can be used to refer to caches, even if they're not available yet. (3) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected explicitly by use of tags. (4) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (1)). (5) A netfs may annotate cache objects that belongs to it. This permits the storage of coherency maintenance data. (6) Cache objects will be pinnable and space reservations will be possible. (7) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring rather to let the netfs remain oblivious. (8) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing cached there. (9) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of indices. (10) Indices can be used to group files together to reduce key size and to make group invalidation easier. The use of indices may make lookup quicker, but that's cache dependent. (11) Data I/O is effectively done directly to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or asynchronous. (12) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get recycled. (13) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an entry should be updated or deleted. FS-Cache maintains a virtual index tree in which all indices, files, objects and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more caches.

These have different index hierarchies: (*) The NFS primary index will probably contain per-server indices. Each server index is indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended attribute objects themselves have page-array contents. (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes. Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an array of pages. The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's have entries. Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only reside in one cache.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Recruit a page flags for cache managementDavid Howells
Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

2009-04-03FS-Cache: Release page->private after failed readaheadDavid Howells
The attached patch causes read_cache_pages() to release page-private data on a page for which add_to_page_cache() fails. If the filler function fails, then the problematic page is left attached to the pagecache (with appropriate flags set, one presumes) and the remaining to-be-attached pages are invalidated and discarded. This permits pages with caching references associated with them to be cleaned up. The invalidatepage() address space op is called (indirectly) to do the honours.

2009-04-03Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work itemsDavid Howells
Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable for workqueues. The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are started when there's more work to do, up to a limit. Because of the nature of the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool. A system with one CPU may well want several threads. This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

2009-04-02Factor out #ifdefs from kernel/spinlock.c to LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGSRobin Holt
SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a long period of time when waiting for a rwlock. The following patch series re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is already there for spinlocks. I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the fast path. I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other architectures, because the systems are not so large. Of course, the possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture is still there. This patch: The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.

2009-04-02preadv/pwritev: Add preadv and pwritev system calls.Gerd Hoffmann
This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write). They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications. Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with locking. Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family: ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset); ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset); This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit) offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't allow to do. At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this. As we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is explicitly splitted into two 32bit values. The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in the x86 system call tables. Other archs follow as separate patches.

2009-04-02pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safeOleg Nesterov
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy. task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current. As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust task->group_leader without the special checks. And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix. Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say, task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical". This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers. After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well, they're are a bit special.
