This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct

- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast

namespace takes 0.07538s. rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

All users of the ore will need to check if current code

So move all the checks from exofs/super.c to a new

Note that any new layout should be passed through the
ore_verify_layout() because the ore engine will prepare

In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs
to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely
that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes.
In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single
array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the
device table
This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD
where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers.
(ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od
member)
Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger
user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the
container_of macro.
In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the
ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one
allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing
correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the
inodes round-robin view of the table.
The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the
single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount.

will eventually use all the devices it can get.

* All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name.

Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage.
This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
component it's own pid, oid and creds.
So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:
* Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.
* Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
arrays.
* Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
and device array to use for each IO.
This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
some of these members already existed in another form.
* ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
these structures and arrays.
At the exofs Level:
* Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
previous exofs versions.
* Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
layout.
While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
check the credentials.

Since the beginning we realloced the sbi structure when a bigger
then one device table was specified. (I know that was really stupid).
Then much later when "register bdi" was added (By Jens) it was
registering the pointer to sbi->bdi before the realloc.
We never saw this problem because up till now the realloc did not
do anything since the device table was small enough to fit in the
original allocation. But once we starting testing with large device
tables (Bigger then 28) we noticed the crash of writeback operating
on a deallocated pointer.
* Avoid the all mess by allocating the device-table as a second array
and get rid of the variable-sized structure and the rest of this
mess.
* Take the chance to clean near by structures and comments.
* Add a needed dprint on startup to indicate the loaded layout.
* Also move the bdi registration to the very end because it will
only fail in a low memory, which will probably fail before hand.
There are many more likely causes to not load before that. This
way the error handling is made simpler. (Just doing this would be
enough to fix the BUG)

One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter
that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that
waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have
been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something.
I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this
counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported

Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag,
and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part
of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync
as well.
Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it
every time we create a new object.
At mount we read it from it's new place.
We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super
is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from
exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls
->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice.
To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old
s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero
length attribute on mount.
This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not
a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read
from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window
layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0
device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide
the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine.

Also while at it: Removed some old unused Opt_* enums.

* Set all inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info to point to
the per super-block sb->s_bdi.
* Calculating a read_ahead that is:
- preferable 2 stripes long
(Future patch will add a mount option to override this)
- Minimum 128K aligned up to stripe-size
- Caped to maximum-IO-sizes round down to stripe_size.
(Max sizes are governed by max bio-size that fits in a page
times number-of-devices)

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd:
exofs: Fix groups code when num_devices is not divisible by group_width
exofs: Remove useless optimization
exofs: exofs_file_fsync and exofs_file_flush correctness
exofs: Remove superfluous dependency on buffer_head and writeback
exofs_releasepage && exofs_invalidatepage are never called.
Leave the WARN_ONs but remove any code. Remove the
cleanup other stale #includes.
