2011-01-15Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automountDavid Howells
Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of automount point directories. This can be used by fstatat() users to permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent mass-automounting of a directory of automount points by ls.

2011-01-15Add a dentry op to allow processes to be held during pathwalk transitDavid Howells
Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories during a pathwalk. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT). The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged directory. This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it or mounted upon it. The ->d_manage() dentry operation: int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here); takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint. It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way; -EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to the user. ->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true and no other locks held, so it may sleep. However, if mounting_here is true, it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace. Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to automount upon it. follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs). A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use d_automount()). The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate. It also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code (with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage(). follow_down() ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them. __follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to sleep. It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have that determine whether to abort or not itself. That would allow the autofs daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode. Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be invoked. It can always be set again when necessary. ========================== WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS ========================== Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called with i_mutex held. autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(), since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it. This means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function before it calls the daemon. The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is expired and needs cleaning up: mkdir S ffffffff8014e05a 0 32580 24956 Call Trace: [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897 [<ffffffff80127f7d>] avc_has_perm+0x46/0x58 [<ffffffff8009fdcf>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff88537be6>] :autofs4:autofs4_expire_wait+0x41/0x6b [<ffffffff88535cfc>] :autofs4:autofs4_revalidate+0x91/0x149 [<ffffffff80036d96>] __lookup_hash+0xa0/0x12f [<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4 versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock: automount D ffffffff8014e05a 0 32581 1 32561 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b [<ffffffff8000ccf1>] do_path_lookup+0x2ca/0x2f1 [<ffffffff80063c89>] .text.lock.mutex+0xf/0x14 [<ffffffff800e6d55>] do_rmdir+0x77/0xde [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 which means that the system is deadlocked. This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in d_automount().

2011-01-15Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link()David Howells
Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than abusing the follow_link() inode operation. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT). This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics. The ->d_automount() dentry operation: struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint); takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted. If successful, it should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar). If there's a collision with another automount attempt, NULL should be returned. If the directory specified by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon, -EISDIR should be returned. In any other case, an error code should be returned. The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep. At this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode. Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is added to handle mountpoints. It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without mounting and 0 if successful. The path will be updated to point to the mounted filesystem if a successful automount took place. __follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic (especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()). This handles transits from directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch). __follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an automount point with nothing mounted on it. follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them whilst following "..". I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it here. It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(), tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory, or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname. If they do a stat(), however, they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW. I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their inodes as automount points. This flag is automatically propagated to the dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate(). This saves NFS and could save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary. It would be preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally have access to the inode.

When open(2) without O_DIRECTORY opens an existing dir, it should return EISDIR.

2011-01-14fs: fix dropping of rcu-walk from force_reval_pathNick Piggin
As J. R. Okajima noted, force_reval_path passes in the same dentry to d_revalidate as the one in the nameidata structure (other callers pass in a child), so the locking breaks. This can oops with a chrooted nfs mount, for example. Similarly there can be other problems with revalidating a dentry which is already in nameidata of the path walk.

2011-01-14fs: force_reval_path drop rcu-walk before d_invalidateNick Piggin
d_revalidate can return in rcu-walk mode even when it returns 0. We can't just call any old dcache function on rcu-walk dentry (the dentry is unstable, so even through d_lock can safely be taken, the result may no longer be what we expect -- careful re-checks would be required). So just drop rcu in this case. (I missed this conversion when switching to the rcu-walk convention that Linus suggested) Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

PG_buddy can be converted to _mapcount == -2. So the PG_compound_lock can be added to page->flags without overflowing (because of the sparse section bits increasing) with CONFIG_X86_PAE=y and CONFIG_X86_PAT=y. This also has to move the memory hotplug code from _mapcount to lru.next to avoid any risk of clashes. We can't use lru.next for PG_buddy removal, but memory hotplug can use lru.next even more easily than the mapcount instead.

2011-01-13oom: allow a non-CAP_SYS_RESOURCE proces to oom_score_adj downMandeep Singh Baines
We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it enters/leaves the foreground. Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. This patch allows a task to decrease its oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to or its inherited value at fork. Assuming the thread that has forked it has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something higher. Alternative considered: * a setuid binary * a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a setuid or daemon implementation would be complex. The alternatives also have much higher overhead. This patch updated from original patch based on feedback from David Rientjes.

2011-01-13writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writebackJan Kara
When wb_writeback() is called in WB_SYNC_ALL mode, work->nr_to_write is usually set to LONG_MAX. The logic in wb_writeback() then calls __writeback_inodes_sb() with nr_to_write == MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES and we easily end up with non-positive nr_to_write after the function returns, if the inode has more than MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES dirty pages at the moment. When nr_to_write is <= 0 wb_writeback() decides we need another round of writeback but this is wrong in some cases! For example when a single large file is continuously dirtied, we would never finish syncing it because each pass would be able to write MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES and inode dirty timestamp never gets updated (as inode is never completely clean). Thus __writeback_inodes_sb() would write the redirtied inode again and again. Fix the issue by setting nr_to_write to LONG_MAX in WB_SYNC_ALL mode. We do not need nr_to_write in WB_SYNC_ALL mode anyway since write_cache_pages() does livelock avoidance using page tagging in WB_SYNC_ALL mode. This makes wb_writeback() call __writeback_inodes_sb() only once on WB_SYNC_ALL. The latter function won't livelock because it works on - a finite set of files by doing queue_io() once at the beginning - a finite set of pages by PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE page tagging After this patch, program from http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/24/154 is no longer able to stall sync forever.

2011-01-13writeback: stop background/kupdate works from livelocking other worksJan Kara
Background writeback is easily livelockable in a loop in wb_writeback() by a process continuously re-dirtying pages (or continuously appending to a file). This is in fact intended as the target of background writeback is to write dirty pages it can find as long as we are over dirty_background_threshold. But the above behavior gets inconvenient at times because no other work queued in the flusher thread's queue gets processed. In particular, since e.g. sync(1) relies on flusher thread to do all the IO for it, sync(1) can hang forever waiting for flusher thread to do the work. Generally, when a flusher thread has some work queued, someone submitted the work to achieve a goal more specific than what background writeback does. Moreover by working on the specific work, we also reduce amount of dirty pages which is exactly the target of background writeout. So it makes sense to give specific work a priority over a generic page cleaning. Thus we interrupt background writeback if there is some other work to do. We return to the background writeback after completing all the queued work. This may delay the writeback of expired inodes for a while, however the expired inodes will eventually be flushed to disk as long as the other works won't livelock.

2011-01-13writeback: integrated background writeback workJan Kara
Check whether background writeback is needed after finishing each work. When bdi flusher thread finishes doing some work check whether any kind of background writeback needs to be done (either because dirty_background_ratio is exceeded or because we need to start flushing old inodes). If so, just do background write back. This way, bdi_start_background_writeback() just needs to wake up the flusher thread. It will do background writeback as soon as there is no other work. This is a preparatory patch for the next patch which stops background writeback as soon as there is other work to do.

2011-01-13cramfs: generate unique inode number for better inode cache usageStefani Seibold
Generate a unique inode numbers for any entries in the cram file system. For files which did not contain data's (device nodes, fifos and sockets) the offset of the directory entry inside the cramfs plus 1 will be used as inode number. The + 1 for the inode will it make possible to distinguish between a file which contains no data and files which has data, the later one has a inode value where the lower two bits are always 0. It also reimplements the behavior to set the size and the number of block to 0 for special file, which is the right value for empty files, devices, fifos and sockets As a little benefit it will be also more compatible which older mkcramfs, because it will never use the cramfs_inode->offset for creating a inode number for special files.

2011-01-13/proc/kcore: fix seekingDave Anderson
Commit 34aacb2920 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kcore") broke seeking on /proc/kcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behavior. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is 2GB-1 on procfs, where the memory file offset values in the /proc/kcore PT_LOAD segments may exceed or start beyond that offset value. A similar revert was made for /proc/vmcore.

2011-01-13reiserfs: make sure va_end() is always called after va_start().Jesper Juhl
A call to va_start() must always be followed by a call to va_end() in the same function. In fs/reiserfs/prints.c::print_block() this is not always the case. If 'bh' is NULL we'll return without calling va_end(). One could add a call to va_end() before the 'return' statement, but it's nicer to just move the call to va_start() after the test for 'bh' being NULL.

2011-01-13fs/select.c: fix information leak to userspaceVasiliy Kulikov
On some architectures __kernel_suseconds_t is int. On these archs struct timeval has padding bytes at the end. This struct is copied to userspace with these padding bytes uninitialized. This leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory. This bug was added with v2.6.27-rc5-286-gb773ad4.
