untangle fsnotify_d_instantiate() a bit

2016-03-14T04:17:28Z

First of all, don't bother calling it if inode is NULL - that makes inode argument unused. Moreover, do it *before* dropping ->d_lock, not right after that (and don't bother grabbing ->d_lock in it, of course). Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Revert "fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated thread"

2016-02-19T00:23:24Z

This reverts commit c510eff6beba ("fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated thread"). Eryu reported that he was seeing some OOM kills kick in when running a testcase that adds and removes inotify marks on a file in a tight loop. The above commit changed the code to use call_srcu to clean up the marks. While that does (in principle) work, the srcu callback job is limited to cleaning up entries in small batches and only once per jiffy. It's easily possible to overwhelm that machinery with too many call_srcu callbacks, and Eryu's reproduer did just that. There's also another potential problem with using call_srcu here. While you can obviously sleep while holding the srcu_read_lock, the callbacks run under local_bh_disable, so you can't sleep there. It's possible when putting the last reference to the fsnotify_mark that we'll end up putting a chain of references including the fsnotify_group, uid, and associated keys. While I don't see any obvious ways that that could occurs, it's probably still best to avoid using call_srcu here after all. This patch reverts the above patch. A later patch will take a different approach to eliminated the dedicated thread here.

fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated thread

2016-01-15T00:00:49Z

At the time that this code was originally written, call_srcu didn't exist, so this thread was required to ensure that we waited for that SRCU grace period to settle before finally freeing the object. It does exist now however and we can much more efficiently use call_srcu to handle this. That also allows us to potentially use srcu_barrier to ensure that they are all of the callbacks have run before proceeding. In order to conserve space, we union the rcu_head with the g_list. This will be necessary for nfsd which will allocate marks from a dedicated slabcache. We have to be able to ensure that all of the objects are destroyed before destroying the cache.

fsnotify: get rid of fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()

2015-09-04T23:54:41Z

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this function, split it into two. fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2015-09-04T23:54:41Z

Free list is used when all marks on given inode / mount should be destroyed when inode / mount is going away. However we can free all of the marks without using a special list with some care. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

inode: convert inode_sb_list_lock to per-sb

2015-08-17T22:39:46Z

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.
