The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*.
What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.
I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want.
Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier.
I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master.
The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

Move the glock acquisition to outside of the transactions.
Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA
deadlocks. The current gfs2_change_nlink code would tries
to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.
One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

Dave Teigland fixed this bug a while back, but I managed to mistakenly
remove the semaphore during later development. It is required to avoid
the list of inodes changing during an invalidate_inodes call. I have
made it an rwsem since the read side will be taken frequently during
normal filesystem operation. The write site will only happen during
umount of the file system.
Also the bug only triggers when using the DLM lock manager and only then
under certain conditions as its timing related.

A long, complicated sequence of events, beginning with the RESEND flag not
being cleared on an lkb, can result in an unlock never completing.
- lkb on waiters list for remote lookup
- the remote node is both the dir node and the master node, so
it optimizes the lookup into a request and sends a request
reply back
- the request reply is saved on the requestqueue to be processed
after recovery
- recovery runs dlm_recover_waiters_pre() which sets RESEND flag
so the lookup will be resent after recovery
- end of recovery: process_requestqueue takes saved request reply
which removes the lkb off the waitesr list, _without_ clearing
the RESEND flag
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() doesn't do anything
with the now completed lookup lkb (would usually clear RESEND)
- later, the node unmounts, unlocks this lkb that still has RESEND
flag set
- the lkb is on the waiters list again, now for unlock, when recovery
occurs, dlm_recover_waiters_pre() shows the lkb for unlock with RESEND
set, doesn't do anything since the master still exists
- end of recovery: dlm_recover_waiters_post() takes this lkb off
the waiters list because it has the RESEND flag set, then reports
an error because unlocks are never supposed to be handled in
recover_waiters_post().
- later, the unlock reply is received, doesn't find the lkb on
the waiters list because recover_waiters_post() has wrongly
removed it.
- the unlock operation has been lost, and we're left with a
stray granted lock
- unmount spins waiting for the unlock to complete
The visible evidence of this problem will be a node where gfs umount is
spinning, the dlm waiters list will be empty, and the dlm locks list will
show a granted lock.
The fix is simply to clear the RESEND flag when taking an lkb off the
waiters list.

dlm_receive_message() returns 0 instead of returning 'error'. What would
happen is that process_requestqueue would take a saved message off the
requestqueue and call receive_message on it. receive_message would then
see that recovery had been aborted, set error to EINTR, and 'goto out',
expecting that the error would be returned. Instead, 0 was always
returned, so process_requestqueue would think that the message had been
processed and delete it instead of saving it to process next time. This
means the message (usually an unlock in my tests) would be lost.

This patch doesn't make any changes to the ordering of the various
operations related to glocking, but it does tidy up the calls to the
glops.c functions to make the structure more obvious.
The two functions: gfs2_glock_xmote_th() and gfs2_glock_drop_th() can be
made static within glock.c since they are called by every set of glock
operations. The xmote_th and drop_th glock operations are then made
conditional upon those two routines existing and called from the
previously mentioned functions in glock.c respectively.
Also it can be seen that the go_sync operation isn't needed since it can
easily be replaced by calls to xmote_bh and drop_bh respectively. This
results in no longer (confusingly) calling back into routines in glock.c
from glops.c and also reducing the glock operations by one member.

Here is a patch for GFS2 to remove the local exclusive flag. In
the places it was used, mutex's are always held earlier in the
call path, so it appears redundant in the LM_ST_SHARED case.
Also, the GFS2 holders were setting local exclusive in any case where
the requested lock was LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE. So the other places in the glock
code where the flag was tested have been replaced with tests for the
lock state being LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE in order to ensure the logic is the
same as before (i.e. LM_ST_EXCLUSIVE is always locally exclusive as well
as globally exclusive).

The "greedy" code was an attempt to retain glocks for a minimum length
of time when they relate to mmap()ed files. The current implementation
of this feature is not, however, ideal in that it required allocating
memory in order to do this and its overly complicated.
It also misses the mark by ignoring the other I/O operations which are
just as likely to suffer from the same problem. So the plan is to remove
this now and then add the functionality back as part of the glock state
machine at a later date (and thus take into account all the possible
users of this feature)

Here is something I spotted (while looking for something entirely
different) the other day.
Rather than using a completion in each and every struct gfs2_holder,
this removes it in favour of hashed wait queues, thus saving a
considerable amount of memory both on the stack (where a number of
gfs2_holder structures are allocated) and in particular in the
gfs2_inode which has 8 gfs2_holder structures embedded within it.
As a result on x86_64 the gfs2_inode shrinks from 2488 bytes to
1912 bytes, a saving of 576 bytes per inode (no thats not a typo!).
In actual practice we get a much better result than that since
now that a gfs2_inode is under the 2048 byte barrier, we get two
per 4k slab page effectively halving the amount of memory required
to store gfs2_inodes.
Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
This removes the extra filldir callback which gfs2 was using to
enclose an attempt at readahead for inodes during readdir. The
code was too complicated and also hurts performance badly in the
case that the getdents64/readdir call isn't being followed by
stat() and it wasn't even getting it right all the time when it
was.
As a result, on my test box an "ls" of a directory containing 250000
files fell from about 7mins (freshly mounted, so nothing cached) to
between about 15 to 25 seconds. When the directory content was cached,
the time taken fell from about 3mins to about 4 or 5 seconds.
Interestingly in the cached case, running "ls -l" once reduced the time
taken for subsequent runs of "ls" to about 6 secs even without this
patch. Now it turns out that there was a special case of glocks being
used for prefetching the metadata, but because of the timeouts for these
locks (set to 10 secs) the metadata was being timed out before it was
being used and this the prefetch code was constantly trying to prefetch
the same data over and over.
Calling "ls -l" meant that the inodes were brought into memory and once
the inodes are cached, the glocks are not disposed of until the inodes
are pushed out of the cache, thus extending the lifetime of the glocks,
and thus bringing down the time for subsequent runs of "ls"
considerably.

It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered
writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only
for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing
buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some
time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer.
Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large
I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024
sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.

If master recovery happens on an rsb in one recovery sequence, then that
sequence is aborted before lock recovery happens, then in the next
sequence, we rely on the previous master recovery (which may now be
invalid due to another node ignoring a lookup result) and go on do to the
lock recovery where we get stuck due to an invalid master value.
recovery cycle begins: master of rsb X has left
nodes A and B send node C an rcom lookup for X to find the new master
C gets lookup from B first, sets B as new master, and sends reply back to B
C gets lookup from A next, and sends reply back to A saying B is master
A gets lookup reply from C and sets B as the new master in the rsb
recovery cycle on A, B and C is aborted to start a new recovery
B gets lookup reply from C and ignores it since there's a new recovery
recovery cycle begins: some other node has joined
B doesn't think it's the master of X so it doesn't rebuild it in the directory
C looks up the master of X, no one is master, so it becomes new master
B looks up the master of X, finds it's C
A believes that B is the master of X, so it sends its lock to B
B sends an error back to A
A resends
this repeats forever, the incorrect master value on A is never corrected
The fix is to do master recovery on an rsb that still has the NEW_MASTER
flag set from an earlier recovery sequence, and therefore didn't complete
lock recovery.

Fix deadlock in gfs2_change_nlink() while installing RHEL5 into GFS2
partition. The gfs2_rename() apparently needs block allocation for the
new name (into the directory) where it requires rg locks. At the same
time, while updating the nlink count for the replaced file,
gfs2_change_nlink() tries to return the inode meta-data back to resource
group where it needs rg locks too. Our logic doesn't allow process to
acquire these locks recursively by the same process (RHEL installer)
that results a BUG call. This only happens within rename code path and
only if the destination file exists before the rename operation.

This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan.
It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate
by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed
file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode))
in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose
anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They
will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode
in, in the first place.

This patch fixes Red Hat bugzilla #212627 in which a deadlock occurs
due to trying to take the i_mutex while holding a glock. The correct
locking order is defined as i_mutex -> glock in all cases.
I've left dealing with allocating writes. I know that we need to do
that, but for now this should do the trick. We don't need to take the
i_mutex on write, because the VFS has already taken it for us. On read
we don't need it since the glock is enough protection. The reason that
I've made some of the checks into a separate function is that we'll need
to do the checks again in the allocating write case eventually, so this
is partly in preparation for this. Likewise the return value test of !=

I've made the change to deferred mode on the glock to ensure flushing

When the dlm fakes an unlock/cancel reply from a failed node using a stub
message struct, it wasn't setting the flags in the stub message. So, in
the process of receiving the fake message the lkb flags would be updated
and cleared from the zero flags in the message. The problem observed in
tests was the loss of the USER flag which caused the dlm to think a user
lock was a kernel lock and subsequently fail an assertion checking the
validity of the ast/callback field.

LVB's are not sent as part of new requests, but the code receiving the
request was copying data into the lvb anyway. The space in the message
where it mistakenly thought the lvb lived actually contained the resource
name, so it wound up incorrectly copying this name data into the lvb. Fix
is to just create the lvb, not copy junk into it.

The send_args() function is used to copy parameters into a message for a
number different message types. Only some of those types are set up
beforehand (in create_message) to include space for sending lvb data.
send_args was wrongly copying the lvb for all message types as long as the
lock had an lvb. This means that the lvb data was being written past the
end of the message into unknown space.

A reply to a recovery message will often be received after the relevant
recovery sequence has aborted and the next recovery sequence has begun.
We need to ignore replies to these old messages from the previous
recovery. There's already a way to do this for synchronous recovery
requests using the rc_id number, but not for async.
Each recovery sequence already has a locally unique sequence number
associated with it. This patch adds a field to the rcom (recovery
message) structure where this recovery sequence number can be placed,
rc_seq. When a node sends a reply to a recovery request, it copies the
rc_seq number it received into rc_seq_reply. When the first node receives
the reply to its recovery message, it will check whether rc_seq_reply
matches the current recovery sequence number, ls_recover_seq, and if not
then it ignores the old reply.
An old, inadequate approach to filtering out old replies (checking if the
current stage of recovery has moved back to the start) has been removed
from two spots.
The protocol version number is changed to reflect the different rcom
structures.

There's a chance the new master of resource hasn't learned it's the new
master before another node sends it a lock during recovery. The node
sending the lock needs to resend if this happens.
- A sends a master lookup for resource R to C
- B sends a master lookup for resource R to C
- C receives A's lookup, assigns A to be master of R and
sends a reply back to A
- C receives B's lookup and sends a reply back to B saying
that A is the master
- B receives lookup reply from C and sends its lock for R to A
- A receives lock from B, doesn't think it's the master of R
and sends an error back to B
- A receives lookup reply from C and becomes master of R
- B gets error back from A and resends its lock back to A
(this resending is what this patch does)
- A receives lock from B, it now sees it's the master of R
and takes the lock

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:
cpu0 cpu1
io_destroy aio_complete
wait_for_all_aios { __aio_put_req
... ctx->reqs_active--;
if (!ctx->reqs_active)
return;
}
...
put_ioctx(ioctx)
put_ioctx(ctx);
__put_ioctx
bam! Bug trigger!
The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.
This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.
So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now. Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.

NFS V3 (and V4) support exclusive create by passing a 'cookie' which can get
stored with the file. If the file exists but has exactly the right cookie
stored, then we assume this is a retransmit and the exclusive create was
successful.
The cookie is 64bits and is traditionally stored in the mtime and atime
fields. This causes a problem with Solaris7 as negative mtime or atime
confuse it. So we moved two bits into the mode word instead.
But inherited ACLs sometimes overwrite the mode word on create, so this is a
problem.
So we give up and just store 62 of the 64 bits and assume that is close
enough.

However, when a read request is not page-aligned, and we choose to use

hold the whole reply. This can overflow and array and cause an Oops.

This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now.
It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the
right thing for the vDSO vma anyway. Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the
vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed. It handles the
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from
get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does.
This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from
the vDSO. I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out
that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV. It's cleaner
to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for
themselves.

In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not

since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock.
However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which
are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main
reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of
course!)

It's not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data=journal will clean
pages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean. This,
in turn, will result in the VM (and balance_dirty_pages() in particular)
to never realize that the pages got cleaned, and wait forever for an
event that already happened.
Technically, this seems to be a problem with ext3 itself, but it used to
be hidden by 'try_to_free_buffers()' noticing this situation on its own,
and just working around the filesystem problem.
This commit re-instates that hack, in order to avoid a regression for
the 2.6.20 release. This fixes bugzilla 7844:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7844
Peter Zijlstra points out that we should probably retain the debugging
code that this removes from cancel_dirty_page(), and I agree, but for
the imminent release we might as well just silence the warning too
(since it's not a new bug: anything that triggers that warning has been

[CIFS] Fix oops when Windows server sent bad domain name null terminator
[CIFS] cifs sprintf fix
[CIFS] Remove 2 unneeded kzalloc casts
[CIFS] Update CIFS version number
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.
Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:
ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().
So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.
I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.
The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:
static int return_EIO(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = bad_inode_create
...etc...
The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.
This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...
I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:
static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...
but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:
1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).
2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called
with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).
3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning
saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.
This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.

This is the fsstack copy_attr_all:

The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to
interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for
the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in
eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing
right beforehand.
I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch
needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a
change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying
attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the
right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and
Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit
0cc72dc7f0 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006
-0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20.
I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just
remove the inode size copy.
Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked
filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file
size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the
stacked layer.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).
This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.

The following scenario :

the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for

To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.
Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.
This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.
As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the

Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.
direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.
For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").
This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
expanding fdtable file descriptor entries. The main focus is on the fdarray,
as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.
The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
chosen:
pagesize / 4
pagesize / 2
pagesize <- memory allocator switch point
pagesize * 2
pagesize * 4
...etc...
Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
straightline code.
Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
fdsets in a single swoop. Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
than the fdarray. The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
fdset memory allocation.

An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can
distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the
fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This
patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

The wait_for_more_bios() function name was poorly chosen. While looking to
clean it up it I noticed that the dio struct refcounting between the bio
completion and dio submission paths was racey.
The bio submission path was simply freeing the dio struct if
atomic_dec_and_test() indicated that it dropped the final reference.
The aio bio completion path was dereferencing its dio struct pointer *after
dropping its reference* based on the remaining number of references.
These two paths could race and result in the aio bio completion path
dereferencing a freed dio, though this was not observed in the wild.
This moves the refcount under the bio lock so that bio completion can drop
its reference and decide to wake all in one atomic step.
Once testing and waking is locked dio_await_one() can test its sleeping
condition and mark itself uninterruptible under the lock. It gets simpler
and wait_for_more_bios() disappears.
The addition of the interrupt masking spin lock acquiry in dio_bio_submit()
looks alarming. This lock acquiry existed in that path before the recent
dio completion patch set. We shouldn't expect significant performance
regression from returning to the behaviour that existed before the
completion clean up work.
This passed 4k block ext3 O_DIRECT fsx and aio-stress on an SMP machine.

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the
async 'should_wait' path. It continues to rely on the fragile link between
the conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and
the conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free.
By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from
calling dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the
reference count drop to 0. We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which
now notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the
waiter.

Previously we had two confusing counts of bio progress. 'bio_count' was
decremented as bios were processed and freed by the dio core. It was used to
indicate final completion of the dio operation. 'bios_in_flight' reflected
how many bios were between submit_bio() and bio->end_io. It was used by the
sync path to decide when to wake up and finish completing bios and was ignored
by the async path.
This patch collapses the two notions into one notion of a dio reference count.
bios hold a dio reference when they're between submit_bio and bio->end_io.
Since bios_in_flight was only used in the sync path it is now equivalent to
dio->refcount - 1 which accounts for direct_io_worker() holding a reference
for the duration of the operation.
dio_bio_complete() -> finished_one_bio() was called from the sync path after
finding bios on the list that the bio->end_io function had deposited.
finished_one_bio() can not drop the dio reference on behalf of these bios now
because bio->end_io already has. The is_async test in finished_one_bio()
meant that it never actually did anything other than drop the bio_count for
sync callers. So we remove its refcount decrement, don't call it from
dio_bio_complete(), and hoist its call up into the async dio_bio_complete()
caller after an explicit refcount decrement. It is renamed dio_complete_aio()
to reflect the remaining work it actually does.

We only need to call blk_run_address_space() once after all the bios for the
direct IO op have been submitted. This removes the chance of calling
blk_run_address_space() after spurious wake ups as the sync path waits for
bios to drain. It's also one less difference betwen the sync and async paths.
In the process we remove a redundant dio_bio_submit() that its caller had
already performed.

There have been a lot of bugs recently due to the way direct_io_worker() tries
to decide how to finish direct IO operations. In the worst examples it has
failed to call aio_complete() at all (hang) or called it too many times
(oops).
This set of patches cleans up the completion phase with the goal of removing
the complexity that lead to these bugs. We end up with one path that
calculates the result of the operation after all off the bios have completed.
We decide when to generate a result of the operation using that path based on
the final release of a refcount on the dio structure.
I tried to progress towards the final state in steps that were relatively easy
to understand. Each step should compile but I only tested the final result of
having all the patches applied.
I've tested these on low end PC drives with aio-stress, the direct IO tests I
could manage to get running in LTP, orasim, and some home-brew functional
tests.
In http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/21/103 IBM reports success with ext2 and ext3
running DIO LTP tests. They found that XFS bug which has since been addressed
in the patch series.
This patch:
The mechanics which decide the result of a direct IO operation were duplicated
in the sync and async paths.
The async path didn't check page_errors which can manifest as silently
returning success when the final pointer in an operation faults and its
matching file region is filled with zeros.
The sync path and async path differed in whether they passed errors to the
caller's dio->end_io operation. The async path was passing errors to it which
trips an assertion in XFS, though it is apparently harmless.
This centralizes the completion phase of dio ops in one place. AIO will now
return EFAULT consistently and all paths fall back to the previously sync
behaviour of passing the number of bytes 'transferred' to the dio->end_io
callback, regardless of errors.
dio_await_completion() doesn't have to propogate EIO from non-uptodate bios
now that it's being propogated through dio_complete() via dio->io_error. This
lets it return void which simplifies its sole caller.

Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields.
Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel
is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for
taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves
the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions
are sought.
The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields.
It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's
/proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process
A could see an intermediate result.

Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean
to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only
one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a
bit messy and isn't obviously important.

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.
Boot option:
fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>
<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.
<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.
<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
safely in bytes.
<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
Debugfs:
/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability

Example:
fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail
generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.
