  vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing

This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when
that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine
with good unaligned accesses would do).

It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot
couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the
performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%.
Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks.

Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the
optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we
effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the
last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to
ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc).

Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle".  It's commented,
but you do need to really think about the code.  Or just consider it
black magic.

Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.

Linus Torvalds bfcfaa77bd vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing
Ok, this is hacky, and only works on little-endian machines with goo
unaligned handling.  And even then only with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
disabled, since it can access up to 7 bytes after the pathname.

But it runs like a bat out of hell.

Linus Torvalds 200e9ef7ab vfs: split up name hashing in link_path_walk() into helper function
The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of
the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel.  And
I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU
wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up
into a separate helper function.

So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a
helper function called "hash_name()".  It returns the length of the
pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the
hash to the appropriate location.

The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for
the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to
read too.  And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the
"hash_name()" function with alternative implementations.

Linus Torvalds 0145acc202 vfs: uninline full_name_hash()
.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it.

There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly.
But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time
dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and
uninlining it sets the stage for that.

So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics,
and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry
name accessor patch.

Al Viro a3fbbde70a VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.

Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:

    cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    main()
    {
            struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
            if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
                    perror("setlk");
    }
    EOF
    cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test

then on nfs4:

    mount --bind file1 file2
    /tmp/test < file1		# ok
    /tmp/test < file2		# spews "setlk: No locks available"...

What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.

The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks.  I.e.  set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

Andy Whitcroft 1fa1e7f615 readlinkat: ensure we return ENOENT for the empty pathname for normal lookups
Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the
error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched
from ENOENT to EINVAL:

  commit 65cfc67223
  Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
  Date:   Sun Mar 13 15:56:26 2011 -0400

    readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames

This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat
inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated
return for these pathnames.

As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the
AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls.  Therefore expose whether
the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path
lookup function.  Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or
ENOENT for failures.

In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a
read lease.

In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount.

There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount
increment when setlease could add a new read lease.

This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which
shouldn't happen.

Linus Torvalds b6c8069d35 vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag
That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more.  Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.

With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.

So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

Linus Torvalds d94c177bee vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)

Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).

But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup.  Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.

This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though.  It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

Miklos Szeredi 0ec26fd069 vfs: automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW
Prior to 2.6.38 automount would not trigger on either stat(2) or
lstat(2) on the automount point.

After 2.6.38, with the introduction of the ->d_automount()
infrastructure, stat(2) and others would start triggering automount
while lstat(2), etc. still would not.  This is a regression and a
userspace ABI change.

Problem originally reported here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.autofs/6098

It appears that there was an attempt at fixing various userspace tools
to not trigger the automount.  But since the stat system call is
rather common it is impossible to "fix" all userspace.

This patch reverts the original behavior, which is to not trigger on
stat(2) and other symlink following syscalls.

[ It's not really clear what the right behavior is.  Apparently Solaris
  does the "automount on stat, leave alone on lstat".  And some programs
  can get unhappy when "stat+open+fstat" ends up giving a different
  result from the fstat than from the initial stat.

  But the change in 2.6.38 resulted in problems for some people, so
  we're going back to old behavior.  Maybe we can re-visit this
  discussion at some future date  - Linus ]

Linus Torvalds 3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.

Josef Bacik 44396f4b5c fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flags
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode.  What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself.  The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup.  So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry.  I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

To this

Al Viro 8aef188452 VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount
[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]

If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.

The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.

During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.

The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount().  However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.

The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed.  follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt.  That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move.  The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.

The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int pid, ws;
		struct stat buf;
		pid = fork();
		stat(argv[1], &buf);
		if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
		return 0;
	}

and the following procedure:

 (1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
     subdirectory.  For instance, I can mount / from my server:

	mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r

     On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
     a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
     being a mountpoint.  This will cause the automount code to be triggered.

     !!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!

 (2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
     simultaneous automount requests:

	/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile

 (3) Unmount the automounted submount:

	umount /mnt/data

 (4) Unmount the original mount:

	umount /mnt

     At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
     following:

	BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]

Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

 [<ffffffff8109e1ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x1fd/0x22f
 [<ffffffff816ea86b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

as do_umount() is inlined.  However, you can see release_mounts() in there.

Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

[ 2862.501007]  [<ffffffff814c14fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.

The buggy part of the patch is this:
	struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
-               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
-                       goto slashes;
                inode = dentry->d_inode;
-               if (inode)
-                       ihold(inode);
+               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+                       goto slashes;
+               ihold(inode)
...
	if (inode)
		iput(inode);	/* truncate the inode here */

If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.

Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

Miklos Szeredi b5afd2c406 vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems
vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE.  If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after,
but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped
{old,new}_dentry.  For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes
new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go
away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it.  Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.

The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"

Fix by not rehashing the new dentry.  Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.

Linus Torvalds 26cf46be95 vfs: micro-optimize acl_permission_check()
It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask
calculations.  The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit
operations, for no good reason.

So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int'
masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable.

This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2ae: "Cache user_ns in
struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer.

Tim Chen c1530019e3 vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number
During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.

We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number.  We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.

With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

Ian Kent 62a7375e5d vfs - check non-mountpoint dentry might block in __follow_mount_rcu()
When following a mount in rcu-walk mode we must check if the incoming dentry
is telling us it may need to block, even if it isn't actually a mountpoint.

Serge E. Hallyn e795b71799 userns: userns: check user namespace for task->file uid equivalence checks
Cheat for now and say all files belong to init_user_ns.  Next step will be
to let superblocks belong to a user_ns, and derive inode_userns(inode)
from inode->i_sb->s_user_ns.  Finally we'll introduce more flexible
arrangements.

Changelog:
	Feb 15: make is_owner_or_cap take const struct inode
	Feb 23: make is_owner_or_cap bool
