To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached
attributes when a file is opened. In most cases this is done by a call to
d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk.
However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called
on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..').
So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes.
So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened
directory is the mountpoint. This may cause double-validation for "."
and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name
lookups completely.

WB_SYNC_NONE writeback is done in rounds of 1024 pages so that we don't
write out some huge inode for too long while starving writeout of other
inodes. To avoid livelocks, we record time we started writeback in
wbc->wb_start and do not write out inodes which were dirtied after this
time. But currently, writeback_inodes_wb() resets wb_start each time it
is called thus effectively invalidating this logic and making any
WB_SYNC_NONE writeback prone to livelocks.
This patch makes sure wb_start is set only once when we start writeback.

This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

If a kernel thread is using use_mm(), badness() returns a positive value.
This is not a big issue because caller take care of it correctly. But
there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and
doesn't care that the task is a regular process.
Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value. But it's unkillable.
This incorrectness makes administration a little confusing.

If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount. That's
fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
the halfway-created superblock. deactivate_locked_super()
called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
we are holding another active reference to it.
What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
set up. Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
MS_ACTIVE quite fit. Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb(). If that flag
isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).
Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev().
When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls
close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding
s_umount. However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during
__invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during
blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock.
This condition doesn't trigger frequently. For this condition to be
visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as
__invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS
must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while
the FS is still mounted.
Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().

This patch removes all the BFS superblock manipulation, simply
because it is not needed. It removes:
1. The si_sbh filed from 'struct bfs_sb_info' because it is not
needed. We only need to read the SB once on mount to get the
start of data blocks and the FS size. After this, we can forget
about the SB.
2. All instances of 'mark_buffer_dirty(sbh)' for BFS SB because
it is never changed.
3. The '->sync_fs()' method because there is nothing to sync

Convert XFS to the new truncate sequence. We still can have errors after
updating the file size in xfs_setattr, but these are real I/O errors and lead
to a transaction abort and filesystem shutdown, so they are not an issue.
Errors from ->write_begin and write_end can now be handled correctly because
we can actually get rid of the delalloc extents while previous the buffer
state was stipped in block_invalidatepage.
There is still no error handling for ->direct_IO, because doing so will need
some major restructuring given that we only have the iolock shared and do not
hold i_mutex at all. Fortunately leaving the normally allocated blocks behind
there is not a major issue and this will get cleaned up by xfs_free_eofblock

http://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2010/4/23/467
while experimenting with stackable filesystems.
The reason seems to be that ecryptfs calls lookup_one_len() to get the
lower dentry, which in turn calls the lower parent dirs d_revalidate()
with a NULL nameidata object.
If ecryptfs is the underlaying filesystem, the NULL pointer dereference
occurs, since ecryptfs is not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata.
I know that this cant happen any more, since it is no longer allowed to
mount ecryptfs upon itself.
But maybe this patch it useful nevertheless, since the problem would still
apply for an underlaying filesystem that implements d_revalidate() and is
not prepared to handle a NULL nameidata (I dont know if there actually
is such a fs).
With this patch (against 2.6.35-rc5) ecryptfs uses the vfs_lookup_path()
function instead of lookup_one_len() which ensures that the nameidata
passed to the lower filesystems d_revalidate().

In ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower() the lower mount is not decremented
if allocation of a dentry info struct failed. As a result the lower filesystem
cant be unmounted any more (since it is considered busy). This patch corrects
the reference counting.

Lower filesystems that only implemented unlocked_ioctl weren't being
passed ioctl calls because eCryptfs only checked for
lower_file->f_op->ioctl and returned -ENOTTY if it was NULL.
eCryptfs shouldn't implement ioctl(), since it doesn't require the BKL.
This patch introduces ecryptfs_unlocked_ioctl() and
ecryptfs_compat_ioctl(), which passes the calls on to the lower file
system.

Currently, o2net_accept_one() is allowed to accept a connection from
listening node itself, such a fake connection will not be successfully
established due to no handshake detected afterwards, and later end up
with triggering connecting worker in a loop.
We're going to fix this by treating such connection request as 'invalid',
since we've got no chance of requesting connection from a node to itself
in a OCFS2 cluster.
The fix doesn't hurt user's scan for o2net-listener, it always gets a
successful connection from userpace.

When we need to take both dlm_domain_lock and dlm->spinlock, we should take

There is pathes disobey this order. That is calling dlm_lockres_put() with
dlm->spinlock held in dlm_run_purge_list. dlm_lockres_put() calls dlm_put() at
the ref and dlm_put() locks on dlm_domain_lock.

That grab is not required because we don't call dlm_unregister_domain()

In the following situation, there remains an incorrect bit in refmap on the
recovery master. Finally the recovery master will fail at purging the lockres
due to the incorrect bit in refmap.
1) node A has no interest on lockres A any longer, so it is purging it.
2) the owner of lockres A is node B, so node A is sending de-ref message
to node B.
3) at this time, node B crashed. node C becomes the recovery master. it recovers
lockres A(because the master is the dead node B).
4) node A migrated lockres A to node C with a refbit there.
5) node A failed to send de-ref message to node B because it crashed. The failure
is ignored. no other action is done for lockres A any more.
For mormal, re-send the deref message to it to recovery master can fix it. Well,
ignoring the failure of deref to the original master and not recovering the lockres
to recovery master has the same effect. And the later is simpler.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for all the review and comments so far;) I'd like to send
the improved (V4) version of this patch.
This patch fixes a deadlock in OCFS2 ACL. We found this bug in OCFS2
and Samba integration using scenario, the symptom is several smbd
processes will be hung under heavy workload. Finally we found out it
is the nested PR lock calling that leads to this deadlock:
node1 node2
gr PR
|
V
PR(EX)---> BAST:OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED
|
V
rq PR
|
V
wait=1
After requesting the 2nd PR lock, the process "smbd" went into D
state. It can only be woken up when the 1st PR lock's RO holder equals
zero. There should be an ocfs2_inode_unlock in the calling path later
on, which can decrement the RO holder. But since it has been in
uninterruptible sleep, the unlock function has no chance to be called.

This patch fixes two problems in dlm_run_purgelist
1. If a lockres is found to be in use, dlm_run_purgelist keeps trying to purge
the same lockres instead of trying the next lockres.
2. When a lockres is found unused, dlm_run_purgelist releases lockres spinlock
before setting DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF and calls dlm_purge_lockres.
spinlock is reacquired but in this window lockres can get reused. This leads
to BUG.
This patch modifies dlm_run_purgelist to skip lockres if it's in use and purge
next lockres. It also sets DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF before releasing the
lockres spinlock protecting it from getting reused.

Whe the first inode for a bdi is marked dirty, we wake up the bdi thread which
should take care of the periodic background write-out. However, the write-out
will actually start only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs later, so we can
delay the wake-up.
This change was requested by Nick Piggin who pointed out that if we delay the
wake-up, we weed out 2 unnecessary contex switches, which matters because
'__mark_inode_dirty()' is a hot-path function.
This patch introduces a new function - 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()', which
sets up a timer to wake-up the bdi thread and returns. So the wake-up is
delayed.
We also delete the timer in bdi threads just before writing-back. And
synchronously delete it when unregistering bdi. At the unregister point the bdi
does not have any users, so no one can arm it again.
Since now we take 'bdi->wb_lock' in the timer, which can execute in softirq
context, we have to use 'spin_lock_bh()' for 'bdi->wb_lock'. This patch makes
this change as well.
This patch also moves the 'bdi_wb_init()' function down in the file to avoid
forward-declaration of 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()'.

Finally, we can get rid of unnecessary wake-ups in bdi threads, which are very
bad for battery-driven devices.
There are two types of activities bdi threads do:
1. process bdi works from the 'bdi->work_list'
2. periodic write-back
So there are 2 sources of wake-up events for bdi threads:
1. 'bdi_queue_work()' - submits bdi works
2. '__mark_inode_dirty()' - adds dirty I/O to bdi's
The former already has bdi wake-up code. The latter does not, and this patch
adds it.
'__mark_inode_dirty()' is hot-path function, but this patch adds another
'spin_lock(&bdi->wb_lock)' there. However, it is taken only in rare cases when
the bdi has no dirty inodes. So adding this spinlock should be fine and should
not affect performance.
This patch makes sure bdi threads and the forker thread do not wake-up if there
is nothing to do. The forker thread will nevertheless wake up at least every
5 min. to check whether it has to kill a bdi thread. This can also be optimized,
but is not worth it.
This patch also tidies up the warning about unregistered bid, and turns it from
an ugly crocodile to a simple 'WARN()' statement.

Currently, bdi threads can decide to exit if there were no useful activities
for 5 minutes. However, this causes nasty races: we can easily oops in the
'bdi_queue_work()' if the bdi thread decides to exit while we are waking it up.
And even if we do not oops, but the bdi tread exits immediately after we wake
it up, we'd lose the wake-up event and have an unnecessary delay (up to 5 secs)
in the bdi work processing.
This patch makes the forker thread to be the central place which not only
creates bdi threads, but also kills them if they were inactive long enough.
This better design-wise.
Another reason why this change was done is to prepare for the further changes
which will prevent the bdi threads from waking up every 5 sec and wasting
power. Indeed, when the task does not wake up periodically anymore, it won't be
able to exit either.
This patch also moves the the 'wake_up_bit()' call from the bdi thread to the
forker thread as well. So now the forker thread sets the BDI_pending bit, then
forks the task or kills it, then clears the bit and wakes up the waiting
process.
The only process which may wain on the bit is 'bdi_wb_shutdown()'. This
function was changed as well - now it first removes the bdi from the
'bdi_list', then waits on the 'BDI_pending' bit. Once it wakes up, it is
guaranteed that the forker thread won't race with it, because the bdi is not
visible. Note, the forker thread sets the 'BDI_pending' bit under the
'bdi->wb_lock' which is essential for proper serialization.
And additionally, when we change 'bdi->wb.task', we now take the
'bdi->work_lock', to make sure that we do not lose wake-ups which we otherwise
would when raced with, say, 'bdi_queue_work()'.

The forker thread removes bdis from 'bdi_list' before forking the bdi thread.
But this is wrong for at least 2 reasons.
Reason #1: if we temporary remove a bdi from the list, we may miss works which
would otherwise be given to us.
Reason #2: this is racy; indeed, 'bdi_wb_shutdown()' expects that bdis are
always in the 'bdi_list' (see 'bdi_remove_from_list()'), and when
it races with the forker thread, it can shut down the bdi thread
at the same time as the forker creates it.
This patch makes sure the forker thread never removes bdis from 'bdi_list'
(which was suggested by Christoph Hellwig).
In order to make sure that we do not race with 'bdi_wb_shutdown()', we have to
hold the 'bdi_lock' while walking the 'bdi_list' and setting the 'BDI_pending'
flag.
NOTE! The error path is interesting. Currently, when we fail to create a bdi
thread, we move the bdi to the tail of 'bdi_list'. But if we never remove the
bdi from the list, we cannot move it to the tail either, because then we can
mess up the RCU readers which walk the list. And also, we'll have the race
described above in "Reason #2".
But I not think that adding to the tail is any important so I just do not do
that.

Currently, bdi threads ('bdi_writeback_thread()') can lose wake-ups. For
example, if 'bdi_queue_work()' is executed after the bdi thread have had
finished 'wb_do_writeback()' but before it called
'schedule_timeout_interruptible()'.
To fix this issue, we have to check whether we have works to process after we
have changed the task state to 'TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE'.
This patch also clean-ups handling of the cases when 'dirty_writeback_interval'
is zero or non-zero.
Additionally, this patch also removes unneeded 'list_empty_careful()' call.

The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This
is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency.
hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places
is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer,
and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having
foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global
variable keeping the task_struct pointer
This patch renames:
* 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()'
* 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()'
because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more
consistent.
This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi
threads as "thread", not "task".
Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use
'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.

SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.
This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.
We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:
sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.

a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing

It's harmless to set this after the server is created, but also
ineffective, since the value is only used at the time of
svc_create_pooled(). So fail the attempt, in keeping with the pattern
set by write_versions, write_{lease,grace}time and write_recoverydir.
(This could break userspace that tried to write to nfsd/max_block_size
between setting up sockets and starting the server. However, such code
wouldn't have worked anyway, and I don't know of any examples--rpc.nfsd
in nfs-utils, probably the only user of the interface, doesn't do that.)

Commit 59db4a0c10 "nfsd: move more into
nfsd_startup()" inadvertently moved nfsd_versions after
nfsd_create_svc(). On older distributions using an rpc.nfsd that does
not explicitly set the list of nfsd versions, this results in
svc-create_pooled() being called with an empty versions array. The
resulting incomplete initialization leads to a NULL dereference in
svc_process_common() the first time a client accesses the server.
Move nfsd_reset_versions() back before the svc_create_pooled(); this
time, put it closer to the svc_create_pooled() call, to make this
mistake more difficult in the future.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.
This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.
Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.
If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.
The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.
See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

to a potential buffer over-run on 4K block size file systems

set to the maximum expected size of the decompressed block and
it is block_size or 8K depending on whether a data or metadata

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393
__bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing
multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
those are serialized down in the call chain anyway. Fix it by always
allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.
This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
disk.

This will allow us to save the original generic cred in rpc_message, so
that if we migrate from one server to another, we can generate a new bound
cred without having to punt back to the NFS layer.

There is a bug when num_devices is not divisible by group_width * mirrors.
We would not return to the proper device and offset when looping on to the
next group.
The fix makes code simpler actually.

We used to compact all used devices in an IO to the beginning
of the device array in an io_state. And keep a last device used
so in later loops we don't iterate on all device slots. This
does not prevent us from checking if slots are empty since in
reads we only read from a single mirror and jump to the next
mirror-set.
This optimization is marginal, and needlessly complicates the
code. Specially when we will later want to support raid/456
with same abstract code. So remove the distinction between
"dev" and "comp". Only "dev" is used both as the device used
and as the index (component) in the device array.
[Note that now the io_state->dev member is redundant but I
keep it because I might want to optimize by only IOing a
single group, though keeping a group_width*mirrors devices
in io_state, we now keep num-devices in each io_state]

As per Christoph advise: no need to call filemap_write_and_wait().
In exofs all metadata is at the inode so just writing the inode is
all is needed. ->fsync implies this must be done synchronously.
But now exofs_file_fsync can not be used by exofs_file_flush.
vfs_fsync() should do that job correctly.
FIXME: remove the sb_sync and fix that sb_update better.

There is no real reason to have RPC_ASSASSINATED() checks in the NFS code.
As far as it is concerned, this is just an RPC error...

In RFC5661, an NFS4ERR_DELAY error on a SEQUENCE operation has the special
meaning that the server is not finished processing the request. In this
case we want to just retry the request without touching the slot.
Also fix a bug whereby we would fail to update the sequence id if the
server returned any error other than NFS_OK/NFS4ERR_DELAY.

We don't really support nfs servers that invalidate the file handle after a
rename, so precautions such as flushing out dirty data before renaming the
file are superfluous.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Christoph points out that the VFS will always flush out data before calling
nfs_fsync(), so we can dispense with a full call to nfs_wb_all(), and
replace that with a simpler call to nfs_commit_inode().

This should remove the last exclusive lock from start_this_handle(),
so that we should now be able to start multiple transactions at the
same time on large SMP systems.

Lockstat reports have shown that j_state_lock is a major source of
lock contention, especially on systems with more than 4 CPU cores. So
change it to be a read/write spinlock.
