Dave Hansen 2e4b7fcd92 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: honor mount writer counts at remount
Originally from: Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at>

This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set.

Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to the bind mount
operation.  If you require such a mount, you must first do the bind, then
follow it up with a 'mount -o remount,ro' operation:

If you wish to have a r/o bind mount of /foo on bar:

	mount --bind /foo /bar
	mount -o remount,ro /bar

Dave Hansen 3d733633a6 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: track numbers of writers to mounts
This is the real meat of the entire series.  It actually
implements the tracking of the number of writers to a mount.
However, it causes scalability problems because there can be
hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files on the same mnt at
the same time.  Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive scalaing
problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended.

This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable.  All want/drop
operations are local to a cpu as long that cpu operates on the same
mount, and there are no writer count imbalances.  Writer count
imbalances happen when a write is taken on one cpu, and released
on another, like when an open/close pair is performed on two

Upon a remount,ro request, all of the data from the percpu
variables is collected (expensive, but very rare) and we determine
if there are any outstanding writers to the mount.

I've written a little benchmark to sit in a loop for a couple of
seconds in several cpus in parallel doing open/write/close loops.

http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/openbench.c

The code in here is a a worst-possible case for this patch.  It
does opens on a _pair_ of files in two different mounts in parallel.
This should cause my code to lose its "operate on the same mount"
optimization completely.  This worst-case scenario causes a 3%
degredation in the benchmark.

I could probably get rid of even this 3%, but it would be more
complex than what I have here, and I think this is getting into
acceptable territory.  In practice, I expect writing more than 3
bytes to a file, as well as disk I/O to mask any effects that this
has.

(To get rid of that 3%, we could have an #defined number of mounts
in the percpu variable.  So, instead of a CPU getting operate only
on percpu data when it accesses only one mount, it could stay on
percpu data when it only accesses N or fewer mounts.)

Dave Hansen 8366025eb8 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: stub functions
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write().  These are
used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the
filesystem.

Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS
where writes are performed with a want/drop pair.  When that is complete, we
can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing
r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Eric Sandeen 2dafe1c4d6 reduce large do_mount stack usage with noinlines
do_mount() uses a whopping 616 bytes of stack on x86_64 in 2.6.24-mm1,
largely thanks to gcc inlining the various helper functions.

noinlining these can slim it down a lot; on my box this patch gets it down
to 168, which is mostly the struct nameidata nd; left on the stack.

These functions are called only as do_mount() helpers; none of them should
be in any path that would see a performance benefit from inlining...

Add a new s_options field to struct super_block.  Filesystems can save
mount options passed to them in mount or remount.  It is automatically
freed when the superblock is destroyed.

A new helper function, generic_show_options() is introduced, which uses
this field to display the mount options in /proc/mounts.

Another helper function, save_mount_options() may be used by
filesystems to save the options in the super block.

Pavel Emelyanov 8bf9725c29 pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flag
This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call so that
it can trust *data pointer to be valid in-kernel one.  If this flag is passed
from the user process, it is cleared since the *data pointer is not a valid
kernel object.

Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the
superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace
creation.  The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount is
described in the appropriate patch.

Miklos Szeredi 79c0b2df79 add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.

From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk.  From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types.  The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not.  So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.

The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source.  So an sshfs mount looks like this:

  sshfs#user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse   rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems.  However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.

A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype".  So fuse mounts would look like this:

  /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows   fuseblk.ntfs-3g   rw,...
  user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse.sshfs        rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

Badari Pulavarty e3222c4ecc Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling
sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
namespaces.  But they have different code paths.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible).  Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.

- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
  caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
  instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
  just incase.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
  copy_*_ns() instead.

Valerie Henson 47ae32d6a5 [PATCH] relative atime
Add "relatime" (relative atime) support.  Relative atime only updates the
atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime.  Like
noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a
file has been read since it was last modified.

A corresponding patch against mount(8) is available at
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mount-relative-atime.txt

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy.  The mount namespace count
now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Eric Dumazet fa3536cc14 [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variables
I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat.  So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.

This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing.  RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

Chuck Lever b4629fe2f0 VFS: New /proc file /proc/self/mountstats
Create a new file under /proc/self, called mountstats, where mounted file
systems can export information (configuration options, performance counters,
and so on).  Use a mechanism similar to /proc/mounts and s_ops->show_options.

This mechanism does not violate namespace security, and is safe to use while
other processes are unmounting file systems.

Thanks to Mike Waychison for his review and comments.

Test-plan:
Test concurrent mount/unmount operations while cat'ing /proc/self/mountstats.
