Set FL_CLOSE in fl_flags as in locks_remove_posix() when clearing locks.
NFS will check for this flag to ensure an unlock is sent in a following
patch.
Fuse handles flock and posix locks differently for FL_CLOSE, and so
requires a fixup to retain the existing behavior for flock.

Replace the global part of the lglock with a percpu-rwsem.
Since fcl_lock is a spinlock and itself nests under i_lock, which too
is a spinlock we cannot acquire sleeping locks at
locks_{insert,remove}_global_locks().
We can however wrap all fcl_lock acquisitions with percpu_down_read
such that all invocations of locks_{insert,remove}_global_locks() have
that read lock held.
This allows us to replace the lg_global part of the lglock with the
write side of the rwsem.
In the absense of writers, percpu_{down,up}_read() are free of atomic
instructions. This further avoids the very long preempt-disable
regions caused by lglock on larger machines.

The problem with writecount is: we want consistent handling of it for
underlying filesystems as well as overlayfs. Making sure i_writecount is
correct on all layers is difficult. Instead this patch makes sure that
when write access is acquired, it's always done on the underlying writable
layer (called the upper layer). We must also make sure to look at the
writecount on this layer when checking for conflicting leases.
Open for write already updates the upper layer's writecount. Leaving only
truncate.
For truncate copy up must happen before get_write_access() so that the
writecount is updated on the upper layer. Problem with this is if
something fails after that, then copy-up was done needlessly. E.g. if
break_lease() was interrupted. Probably not a big deal in practice.
Another interesting case is if there's a denywrite on a lower file that is
then opened for write or truncated. With this patch these will succeed,
which is somewhat counterintuitive. But I think it's still acceptable,
considering that the copy-up does actually create a different file, so the
old, denywrite mapping won't be touched.
On non-overlayfs d_real() is an identity function and d_real_inode() is
equivalent to d_inode() so this patch doesn't change behavior in that case.

This patch allows flock, posix locks, ofd locks and leases to work
correctly on overlayfs.
Instead of using the underlying inode for storing lock context use the
overlay inode. This allows locks to be persistent across copy-up.
This is done by introducing locks_inode() helper and using it instead of
file_inode() to get the inode in locking code. For non-overlayfs the two
are equivalent, except for an extra pointer dereference in locks_inode().
Since lock operations are in "struct file_operations" we must also make
sure not to call underlying filesystem's lock operations. Introcude a
super block flag MS_NOREMOTELOCK to this effect.

(Another one for the f_path debacle.)
ltp fcntl33 testcase caused an Oops in selinux_file_send_sigiotask.
The reason is that generic_add_lease() used filp->f_path.dentry->inode
while all the others use file_inode(). This makes a difference for files
opened on overlayfs since the former will point to the overlay inode the
latter to the underlying inode.
So generic_add_lease() added the lease to the overlay inode and
generic_delete_lease() removed it from the underlying inode. When the file
was released the lease remained on the overlay inode's lock list, resulting
in use after free.

Dmitry reported that he was able to reproduce the WARN_ON_ONCE that
fires in locks_free_lock_context when the flc_posix list isn't empty.
The problem turns out to be that we're basically rebuilding the
file_lock from scratch in fcntl_setlk when we discover that the setlk
has raced with a close. If the l_whence field is SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END,
then we may end up with fl_start and fl_end values that differ from
when the lock was initially set, if the file position or length of the
file has changed in the interim.
Fix this by just reusing the same lock request structure, and simply
override fl_type value with F_UNLCK as appropriate. That ensures that
we really are unlocking the lock that was initially set.
While we're there, make sure that we do pop a WARN_ON_ONCE if the
removal ever fails. Also return -EBADF in this event, since that's
what we would have returned if the close had happened earlier.

Lets remove the couple traces of modularity so that when reading the

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering gets bumped to one level earlier when we
use the more appropriate fs_initcall here. However we've made similar
changes before without any fallout and none is expected here either.

no one uses the code and since the code is buggy let's allow it to be
disabled at compile time. I would just suggest removing the code but
undoubtedly that will break some piece of userspace code somewhere.
For the distributions that don't care about this piece of code
this gives a nice starting point to make mandatory locking go away.

to corruption of ctx->flc_lock and other members.

Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.
Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.
$ cat /proc/locks
...

...
$ ps -C rpcbind
PID TTY TIME CMD

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0
You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.
This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file

During the v3.20/v4.0 cycle, I had originally had the code manage the
inode->i_flctx pointer using a compare-and-swap operation instead of the
i_lock.
Sasha Levin though hit a problem while testing with trinity that made me
believe that that wasn't safe. At the time, changing the code to protect
the i_flctx pointer seemed to fix the issue, but I now think that was
just coincidence.
The issue was likely the same race that Kirill Shutemov hit while
testing the pre-rc1 v4.0 kernel and that Linus spotted. Due to the way
that the spinlock was dropped in the middle of flock_lock_file, you
could end up with multiple flock locks for the same struct file on the
inode.
Reinstate the use of a CAS operation to assign this pointer since it's
likely to be more efficient and gets the i_lock completely out of the
file locking business.

either upgrade or downgrade it, we skip doing any list insertion or
deletion and simply re-call lm_setup on the existing lease.
As of commit 8634b51f6c however, we end up calling lm_setup on the
lease that was passed in, instead of on the existing lease. This causes
us to leak the fasync_struct that was allocated in the event that there
was not already an existing one (as it always appeared that there
wasn't one).

As Linus pointed out:
Say we have an existing flock, and now do a new one that conflicts. I
see what looks like three separate bugs.
- We go through the first loop, find a lock of another type, and
delete it in preparation for replacing it
- we *drop* the lock context spinlock.
- BUG #1? So now there is no lock at all, and somebody can come in
and see that unlocked state. Is that really valid?
- another thread comes in while the first thread dropped the lock
context lock, and wants to add its own lock. It doesn't see the
deleted or pending locks, so it just adds it
- the first thread gets the context spinlock again, and adds the lock
that replaced the original
- BUG #2? So now there are *two* locks on the thing, and the next
time you do an unlock (or when you close the file), it will only
remove/replace the first one.
...remove the "drop the spinlock" code in the middle of this function as
it has always been suspicious. This should eliminate the potential race
that can leave two locks for the same struct file on the list.
He also pointed out another thing as a bug -- namely that you
flock_lock_file removes the lock from the list unconditionally when
doing a lock upgrade, without knowing whether it'll be able to set the
new lock. Bruce pointed out that this is expected behavior and may help
prevent certain deadlock situations.
We may want to revisit that at some point, but it's probably best that
we do so in the context of a different patchset.

This (ab-)uses the file locking code to allow filesystems to recall
outstanding pNFS layouts on a file. This new lease type is similar but
not quite the same as FL_DELEG. A FL_LAYOUT lease can always be granted,
an a per-filesystem lock (XFS iolock for the initial implementation)
ensures not FL_LAYOUT leases granted when we would need to recall them.
Also included are changes that allow multiple outstanding read
leases of different types on the same file as long as they have a
differnt owner. This wasn't a problem until now as nfsd never set
FL_LEASE leases, and no one else used FL_DELEG leases, but given that
nfsd will also issues FL_LAYOUT leases we will have to handle it now.

The current scheme of using the i_flock list is really difficult to

manage these lists that isn't the i_lock.
Start conversion to a new scheme to eventually replace the old i_flock
list with a new "file_lock_context" object.
We start by adding a new i_flctx to struct inode. For now, it lives in
parallel with i_flock list, but will eventually replace it. The idea is
to allocate a structure to sit in that pointer and act as a locus for
all things file locking.
We allocate a file_lock_context for an inode when the first lock is
added to it, and it's only freed when the inode is freed. We use the
i_lock to protect the assignment, but afterward it should mostly be
accessed locklessly.

Change the code to instead just zero out the pointer if the lease we

In commit 72f98e7255 (locks: turn lock_flocks into a spinlock), we
moved from using the BKL to a global spinlock. With this change, we lost
the ability to block in the fl_release_private operation.
This is problematic for NFS (and probably some other filesystems as
well). Add a new list_head argument to locks_delete_lock. If that
argument is non-NULL, then queue any locks that we want to free to the
list instead of freeing them.
Then, add a new locks_dispose_list function that will walk such a list
and call locks_free_lock on them after the i_lock has been dropped.
Finally, change all of the callers of locks_delete_lock to pass in a
list_head, except for lease_modify. That function can be called long
after the i_lock has been acquired. Deferring the freeing of a lease
after unlocking it in that function is non-trivial until we overhaul
some of the spinlocking in the lease code.
Currently though, no filesystem that sets fl_release_private supports
leases, so this is not currently a problem. We'll eventually want to
make the same change in the lease code, but it needs a lot more work

Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use
byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in
those that does:
fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp;
fl->fl_start = 0;
fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX;
Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description,
move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end
fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of
that in flock ops in those filesystems as well.
Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by
the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as
leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the
same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for
anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.

File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

A fl->fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code

Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value
to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going
to sleep at all. This makes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and
causes soft lockups.

in the future we could extend this API without breaking existing
callers.
Typically the l_pid value is ignored for incoming struct flock
arguments, serving mainly as a place to return the pid of the owner if
there is a conflicting lock. For file-private locks, require that it
currently be set to 0 and return EINVAL if it isn't. If we eventually
want to make a non-zero l_pid mean something, then this will help ensure
that we don't break legacy programs that are using file-private locks.

Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and
unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise
is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor
associated with the inode.
This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that
need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock
management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed
until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished.
Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks
taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one
another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads.
This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these
issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but
have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance
and behavior on close.
This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for
these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the
process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired.
Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the
last reference to a filp is put.
These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX
locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will
also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by
the same process or on the same file descriptor.
The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl()
syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to
"classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not
exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push
this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't
see any need for it.
Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only
available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to
add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.
