UBIFS: fix compilation warnings when compiling with gcc 4.5
UBIFS: fix oops when R/O file-system is fsync'ed
The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that
the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore
for the dentry itself. It's the directory locking that rename and
readdir() etc all care about.
The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still
checked the dentry inode itself.
Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used
for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it.
I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just
one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of
it entirely.

On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test. The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.
The simple test file is like this:
int main(void)
{
int i;
key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);
for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
if (id == -1) {
printf("shmget error\n");
}
if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
printf("shm rm error\n");
return -1;
}
}
printf("run ok...\n");
return 0;
}
And the result:

:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not

This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an

thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system
if it is read-only, but this is not the case.
It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script:
use strict;
use File::Sync qw(fsync sync);
die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0];
my $path = $ARGV[0];
open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!";

This reverts commit 93f1c20bc8.
It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character
in the uuid string, which libmount then incorrectly confuses with the
separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments.
Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until
that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this
change in the kernel.
Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-'
characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

When the TCP_Server_Info is first allocated and connected, tcpStatus ==
CifsGood means that the NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL request has completed and the
socket is ready for other calls. cifs_reconnect however sets tcpStatus
to CifsGood as soon as the socket is reconnected and the optional
RFC1001 session setup is done. We have no clear way to tell the
difference between these two states, and we need to know this in order
to know whether we can send an echo or not.
Resolve this by adding a new statusEnum value -- CifsNeedNegotiate. When
the socket has been connected but has not yet had a NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL
request done, set it to this value. Once the NEGOTIATE is done,
cifs_negotiate_protocol will set tcpStatus to CifsGood.
This also fixes and cleans the logic in cifs_reconnect and
cifs_reconnect_tcon. The old code checked for specific states when what
it really wants to know is whether the state has actually changed from
CifsNeedReconnect.

While testing my patchset to fix asynchronous writes, I hit a bunch
of signature problems when testing with signing on. The problem seems
to be that signature checks on receive can be running at the same
time as a process that is sending, or even that multiple receives can
be checking signatures at the same time, clobbering the same data
structures.
While we're at it, clean up the comments over cifs_calculate_signature
and add a note that the srv_mutex should be held when calling this
function.
This patch seems to fix the problems for me, but I'm not clear on
whether it's the best approach. If it is, then this should probably
go to stable too.

Fix the spelling of UNI_ASTERISK. Eliminate the unneeded len_remaining
variable in cifsConvertToUCS.
Also, as David Howells points out. We were better off making
cifsConvertToUCS *not* use put_unaligned_le16 since it means that we
can't optimize the mapped characters at compile time. Switch them
instead to use cpu_to_le16, and simply use put_unaligned to set them

Commit 522440ed made cifs set backing_dev_info on the mapping attached
to new inodes. This change caused a fairly significant read performance
regression, as cifs started doing page-sized reads exclusively.
By virtue of the fact that they're allocated as part of cifs_sb_info by
kzalloc, the ra_pages on cifs BDIs get set to 0, which prevents any
readahead. This forces the normal read codepaths to use readpage instead
of readpages causing a four-fold increase in the number of read calls
with the default rsize.
Fix it by setting ra_pages in the BDI to the same value as that in the
default_backing_dev_info.

Currently, we skip doing the is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount if
there is no prefixpath. I have a report of at least one server however
that allows a TREE_CONNECT to a share that has a DFS referral at its
root. The reporter in this case was using a UNC that had no prefixpath,
so the is_path_accessible check was not triggered and the box later hit
a BUG() because we were chasing a DFS referral on the root dentry for
the mount.
This patch fixes this by removing the check for a zero-length
prefixpath. That should make the is_path_accessible check be done in
this situation and should allow the client to chase the DFS referral at
mount time instead.

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync
the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not

Add proper blk_start_plug/blk_finish_plug pairs for the two places where
we issue buffer I/O, and remove the blk_flush_plug in xfs_buf_lock and
xfs_buf_iowait, given that context switches already flush the per-process
plugging lists.

For a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n build gcc complains about statements with no
effect in xfs_debug:
fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c: In function 'xfs_qm_scall_trunc_qfiles':
fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c:291:3: warning: statement with no effect
The reason for that is that the various new xfs message functions have a
return value which is never used, and in case of the non-debug build
xfs_debug the macro evaluates to a plain 0 which produces the above
warnings. This can be fixed by turning xfs_debug into an inline function
instead of a macro, but in addition to that I've also changed all the
message helpers to return void as we never use their return values.

On the Power platform, the log tail debug checks fire excessively
causing the system to panic early in testing. The debug checks are
known to be racy, though on x86_64 there is no evidence that they
trigger at all.
We want to keep the checks active on debug systems to alert us to
problems with log space accounting, but we need to reduce the impact
of a racy check on testing on the Power platform.
As a result, convert the ASSERT conditions to warnings, and
allow them to fire only once per filesystem mount. This will prevent
false positives from interfering with testing, whilst still
providing us with the indication that they may be a problem with log
space accounting should that occur.

A fuzzed filesystem crashed a kernel when freeing an extent with a

asserts in xfs_free_extent() to active checks so that we catch bad
extents and return that the filesytsem is corrupted rather than
crashing.

When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of
dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick
the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as
quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log
item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the
AIL flush.
Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not
tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that
don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the
filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush
out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires
the same push mechanism as the reclaim push.
This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to
match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch.
Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

Similar to the xfssyncd, the per-filesystem xfsaild threads can be
converted to a global workqueue and run periodically by delayed
works. This makes sense for the AIL pushing because it uses
variable timeouts depending on the work that needs to be done.
By removing the xfsaild, we simplify the AIL pushing code and
remove the need to spread the code to implement the threading
and pushing across multiple files.

Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.
Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.
To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.
To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.
These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.
We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.
On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.
This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure
as they are no longer used.

All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is
no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be
managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency
effectively.
Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic
work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work
construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work
for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new
delayed work for the next running of the sync work.
For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure
that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to
complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the
current sequence number and wakeup that is used.
Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the
new work queue as CPU intensive.

When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer
to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the
inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived
from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for
delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does
not contain any delalloc extents.
As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger
than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
than is needed to hold all the real extents.
Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
maximum size an inode fork can grow to).
