Add an FS-Cache cache-backend that permits a mounted filesystem to be used as a
backing store for the cache.
CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as
reaping stale nodes and culling. This is called cachefilesd and lives in
/sbin. The source for the daemon can be downloaded from:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.c
And an example configuration from:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.conf
The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the
filesystem providing the backing services. Note that CacheFiles does not
attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various
filesystems are very specific in nature.
CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used
to communication with the daemon. Only one thing may have this open at once,
and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence. The daemon
opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache.
CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.
CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on
the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make
space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section. This means it can be
placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of
spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more
space.
============
REQUIREMENTS
============
The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be
available in the system and in the cache filesystem:
- dnotify.
- extended attributes (xattrs).
- openat() and friends.
- bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl).
- The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file.
It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3
filesystems being used as a cache.
=============
CONFIGURATION
=============
The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf. These commands
set up cache ready for use. The following script commands are available:
(*) brun <N>%
(*) bcull <N>%
(*) bstop <N>%
(*) frun <N>%
(*) fcull <N>%
(*) fstop <N>%
Configure the culling limits. Optional. See the section on culling
The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively.
The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those
beginning with an 'f' are file count limits.
(*) dir <path>
Specify the directory containing the root of the cache. Mandatory.
(*) tag <name>
Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches.
Optional. The default is "CacheFiles".
(*) debug <mask>
Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module.
Optional. The default is zero (all off). The following values can be
OR'd into the mask to collect various information:
1 Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros)
2 Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros)
4 Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug())
This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg:
echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug
==================
STARTING THE CACHE
==================
The cache is started by running the daemon. The daemon opens the cache device,
configures the cache and tells it to begin caching. At that point the cache
binds to fscache and the cache becomes live.
The daemon is run as follows:
/sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>]
The flags are:
(*) -d
Increase the debugging level. This can be specified multiple times and
is cumulative with itself.
(*) -s
Send messages to stderr instead of syslog.
(*) -n
Don't daemonise and go into background.
(*) -f <configfile>
Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one.
===============
THINGS TO AVOID
===============
Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems. The
kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores
mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them.
Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the
cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.
Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the
filename is part of the lookup key).
Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the
cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.
Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or
serve incorrect data.
Do not chmod files in the cache. The module creates things with minimal
permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly.
=============
CACHE CULLING
=============
The cache may need culling occasionally to make space. This involves
discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than
anything else. Culling is based on the access time of data objects. Empty
directories are culled if not in use.
Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the
percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem. There are six
"limits":
(*) brun
(*) frun
If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache
rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.
(*) bcull
(*) fcull
If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.
(*) bstop
(*) fstop
If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of
disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above
these limits again.
These must be configured thusly:
0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100
0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100
Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do
_not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program.
The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.
These are then culled in least recently used order. A new scan of the cache is
started as soon as space is made in the table. Objects will be skipped if
their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.
===============
CACHE STRUCTURE
===============
The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was
given:
(*) cache/
(*) graveyard/
The active cache objects all reside in the first directory. The CacheFiles
kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink
to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.
The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete
anything that appears therein.
The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or
"J...". Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index.
Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories
if they do. Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...". If represented as a
directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that
actually holds the data.
Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin
"S..." or "T...".
If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.
Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories
named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended. Into
this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child
objects:
INDEX INDEX INDEX DATA FILES
========= ========== ================================= ================
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry
If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to
it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to
make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects
inside the last directory. The names of the intermediate directories will have
'+' prepended:
J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr
Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size,
they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not
be suitable for turning directly into a filename.
To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and
"base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable. The two versions of
object filenames indicate the encoding:
OBJECT TYPE PRINTABLE ENCODED
=============== =============== ===============
Index "I..." "J..."
Data "D..." "E..."
Special "S..." "T..."
Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate.
Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object
type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from
the netfs. The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update
or retire them.
Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or
any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file).
==========================
SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX
==========================
CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of
the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility.
One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on
behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a
security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either
because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if
the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other
processes.
The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid,
fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the
security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by
some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly).
When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it:
(1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses
that as the security label with which it will create files. By default,
this is:
cachefiles_var_t
(2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request
(presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:
cachefilesd_t
and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the
daemon's label. By default, this will be:
cachefiles_kernel_t
SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID
based on a rule of this form in the policy.
type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>;
For instance:
type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;
The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files
and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the
cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and
write files in the cache.
The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it
may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories. It may
not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the
data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.
There are policy source files available in:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2
and later versions. In that tarball, see the files:
cachefilesd.te
cachefilesd.fc
cachefilesd.if
They are built and installed directly by the RPM.
If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own
directory and run:
make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
semodule -i cachefilesd.pp
You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the
build.
By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that
it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or
an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the
cache.
For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be
located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:
/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt
When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found
in the sources.
==================
A NOTE ON SECURITY
==================
CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct. It allocates
its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it
when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context.
The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than
bypassing security and calling inode ops directly. Therefore the VFS and LSM
may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some
circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever
process issued the original syscall on the netfs.
Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security
parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be
derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially
preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's
cache management daemon (cachefilesd).
What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that
issued the system call. We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the
security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.
This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what
the process looks like in /proc.
So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the
objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as). The
objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is
never overridden. This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a
process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for
example).
The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and
may be overridden. This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process
acts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a
file.
LSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request
for CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create
files and directories with another security label.

Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data
storage and retrieval routines.
The following documentation is added to:
Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt
================================
ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING
================================
========
OVERVIEW
========
FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its
data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by
fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other
structure.
This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends,
and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache
backend for completion.
To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included.
===============================
OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION
===============================
An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct:
struct fscache_operation {
union {
struct work_struct fast_work;
struct slow_work slow_work;
};
unsigned long flags;
fscache_operation_processor_t processor;
...
};
Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this
struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling:
void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op,
fscache_operation_release_t release);
with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use.
The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and
the exclusivity (see the Parameters section).
The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as
appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section).
FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the
operation and waited for afterwards.
==========
PARAMETERS
==========
There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag
parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these
operations:
(1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread
may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to
another thread.
This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on
the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an
asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done
synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been
determined.
If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags
before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it
to be cleared before proceeding:
wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING,
fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
(2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it
will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted
to sleep on I/O.
This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs
page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in.
If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be
initialised before submitting the operation:
INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work);
(3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it
will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is
permitted to sleep on I/O.
This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of
pages that have just been fetched from a remote server.
If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be
initialised before submitting the operation:
fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor)
Furthermore, operations may be one of two types:
(1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in
conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon.
An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file
being written to may need truncation.
(2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's
up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other
operations running at the same time.
=========
PROCEDURE
=========
Operations are used through the following procedure:
(1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it
itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the
generic op embedded within.
(2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using
one of the following two functions:
int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object,
struct fscache_operation *op);
int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object,
struct fscache_operation *op);
The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the
second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the
FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag.
If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified
object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is
permanently unavailable.
The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still
undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an
operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object.
If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to
it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to:
void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op);
(3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the
operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor
FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if
necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting).
When it has finished doing its processing, it should call
fscache_put_operation() on it.
(4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other
exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be
enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the
CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg:
op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE;
op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST;
and calling:
void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op)
This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread
pools.
=====================
ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK
=====================
When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the
processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the
container struct by using container_of():
static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op)
{
struct fscache_storage *op =
container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op);
...
}
The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke
fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor
function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra
references.

Implement the cache object management state machine.
The following documentation is added to illuminate the working of this state
machine. It will also be added as:
Documentation/filesystems/caching/object.txt
====================================================
IN-KERNEL CACHE OBJECT REPRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
====================================================
==============
REPRESENTATION
==============
FS-Cache maintains an in-kernel representation of each object that a netfs is
currently interested in. Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie
struct and are referred to as cookies.
FS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that
a cache backend is currently actively caching. Such objects are represented by
the fscache_object struct. The cache backends allocate these upon request, and
are expected to embed them in their own representations. These are referred to
as objects.
There is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects. A cookie may be
represented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache -
or even by no objects (it may not be cached).
Furthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical. The two hierarchies
correspond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees
of multiple caches:
NETFS INDEX TREE : CACHE 1 : CACHE 2
: :
: +-----------+ :
+----------->| IObject | :
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ :
| ICookie |-------+ : | :
+-----------+ | : | : +-----------+
| +------------------------------>| IObject |
| : | : +-----------+
| : V : |
| : +-----------+ : |
V +----------->| IObject | : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| ICookie |-------+ : | : V
+-----------+ | : | : +-----------+
| +------------------------------>| IObject |
+-----+-----+ : | : +-----------+

| | : : |
V V : : V
+-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
| DCookie | | DCookie |------------------------>| DObject |
+-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
: :
In the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie
and DObject represent data storage objects. Indices may have representation in
multiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not. Objects of any type
may also be entirely unrepresented.
As far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see
pointers to the cookies. The cookies themselves and any objects attached to
those cookies are hidden from it.
===============================
OBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE
===============================
Within FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state
machine. The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in
object->state. A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different
states.
Each state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine
wakes up in that state. There are four logical sets of states:
(1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready. The
representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must
be created or accessed with respect to its parent object.
(2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate
what's found and that create on disk any missing metadata.
(3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed
and that update the state of objects.
(4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that
delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free
up in-memory resources.
In most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events.
When a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in
which it is interested (object->event_mask) and relinquish the worker thread.
Then when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event
is not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling
fscache_enqueue_object()).
PROVISION OF CPU TIME
---------------------
The work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of
the slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt). This is used in
preference to the workqueue facility because:
(1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a
particular work item. These state actions may be doing sequences of
synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr,
getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename).
(2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time
sleeping on I/O. This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded
workqueues don't necessarily have the right numbers of threads.
LOCKING SIMPLIFICATION
----------------------
Because only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object's
state machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect
to disconnecting the netfs's representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie)
from the cache backend's representation (fscache_object) - which may be
requested from either end.
=================
THE SET OF STATES
=================
The object state machine has a set of states that it can be in. There are
preparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent
object to transit to a state that allows access to its children:
(1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT.
Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active. In
the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object
up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked
up.
There are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses
disk for the object metadata:
(2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP.
Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.
FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this
object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it's valid (coherency
management).
The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup
failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to
indicate success.
At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with
read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached. If not yet
cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until
the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data
to be read out of the cache for that file that isn't currently also held
in the pagecache.
(3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING.
Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. This
happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object's
coherency data indicated what's on disk is out of date. In this state,
FS-Cache expects the cache to create
The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes
successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise.
At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write
operations the netfs has queued for an object. If creation failed, the
write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the
cache.
There are some normal running states in which the object spends its time
servicing netfs requests:
(4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE.
A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects
are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary
lookup data is freed.
(5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE.
The normal running state. In this state, requests the netfs makes will be
passed on to the cache.
(6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING.
The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the
netfs's records. This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used
to maintain coherency.
And there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates
memory and potentially deletes stuff from disk:
(7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING.
The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation
error. This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort.
Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released.
(8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING.
The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent
cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being
withdrawn.
Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too
can destroy themselves. This object waits for all its children to go away
before advancing to the next state.
(9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT.
The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in
FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died. The object will destroy itself
so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state.
(10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING.
(11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.
The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of
all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its
cookie. In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and
in the second it will be deleted.
(12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.
The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to
withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to
error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn.
(13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD.
The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is
ready to be deleted. The object processor shouldn't ever see an object in
this state.
THE SET OF EVENTS
-----------------
There are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine:
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE
The netfs requested that an object be updated. The state machine will ask
the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the
netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops.
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED
This is signalled in two circumstances:
(a) when an object's last child object is dropped and
(b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed.
This is used to proceed from the dying state.
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR
This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some
object.
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE
These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using.
The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing
object to be retired (deleted) or retained.
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW
This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object.
This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs's
cookie.
Because the withdrawing releasing/retiring events are all handled by the object
state machine, it doesn't matter if there's a collision with both ends trying
to sever the connection at the same time. The state machine can just pick
which one it wants to honour, and that effects the other.

Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which filesystems (such as AFS
or NFS) may call on local caching capabilities without having to know anything
about how the cache works, or even if there is a cache:
+---------+
| | +--------------+
| NFS |--+ | |
| | | +-->| CacheFS |
+---------+ | +----------+ | | /dev/hda5 |
| | | | +--------------+
+---------+ +-->| | |
| | | |--+
| AFS |----->| FS-Cache |
| | | |--+
+---------+ +-->| | |
| | | | +--------------+
+---------+ | +----------+ | | |
| | | +-->| CacheFiles |
| ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache |
| | +--------------+
+---------+
General documentation and documentation of the netfs specific API are provided
in addition to the header files.
As this patch stands, it is possible to build a filesystem against the facility
and attempt to use it. All that will happen is that all requests will be
immediately denied as if no cache is present.
Further patches will implement the core of the facility. The facility will
transfer requests from networking filesystems to appropriate caches if
possible, or else gracefully deny them.
If this facility is disabled in the kernel configuration, then all its
operations will trivially reduce to nothing during compilation.
WHY NOT I_MAPPING?
==================
I have added my own API to implement caching rather than using i_mapping to do
this for a number of reasons. These have been discussed a lot on the LKML and
CacheFS mailing lists, but to summarise the basics:
(1) Most filesystems don't do hole reportage. Holes in files are treated as
blocks of zeros and can't be distinguished otherwise, making it difficult
to distinguish blocks that have been read from the network and cached from
those that haven't.
(2) The backing inode must be fully populated before being exposed to
userspace through the main inode because the VM/VFS goes directly to the
backing inode and does not interrogate the front inode's VM ops.
Therefore:
(a) The backing inode must fit entirely within the cache.
(b) All backed files currently open must fit entirely within the cache at
the same time.
(c) A working set of files in total larger than the cache may not be
cached.
(d) A file may not grow larger than the available space in the cache.
(e) A file that's open and cached, and remotely grows larger than the
cache is potentially stuffed.
(3) Writes go to the backing filesystem, and can only be transferred to the
network when the file is closed.
(4) There's no record of what changes have been made, so the whole file must
be written back.
(5) The pages belong to the backing filesystem, and all metadata associated
with that page are relevant only to the backing filesystem, and not
anything stacked atop it.
OVERVIEW
========
FS-Cache provides (or will provide) the following facilities:
(1) Caches can be added / removed at any time, even whilst in use.
(2) Adds a facility by which tags can be used to refer to caches, even if
they're not available yet.
(3) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
explicitly by use of tags.
(4) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (1)).
(5) A netfs may annotate cache objects that belongs to it. This permits the
storage of coherency maintenance data.
(6) Cache objects will be pinnable and space reservations will be possible.
(7) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
(8) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
cached there.
(9) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
indices.
(10) Indices can be used to group files together to reduce key size and to make
group invalidation easier. The use of indices may make lookup quicker,
but that's cache dependent.
(11) Data I/O is effectively done directly to and from the netfs's pages. The
netfs indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by
cookie C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or
may not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
asynchronous.
(12) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
recycled.
(13) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
entry should be updated or deleted.
FS-Cache maintains a virtual index tree in which all indices, files, objects
and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
caches.

In the example above, two netfs's can be seen to be backed: NFS and AFS. These
have different index hierarchies:
(*) The NFS primary index will probably contain per-server indices. Each
server index is indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects.
Each data file objects can have an array of pages, but may also have
further child objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries.
Extended attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
(*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
array of pages.
The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
have entries.
Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
reside in one cache.

This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy.
Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to
kill a task in memcg.
But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot
be killed. For example, in following cgroup
/groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G,
01 nolimit
02 nolimit
All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to
groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA.
This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks
under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA
in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated.
To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called()
callers.

In following situation, with memory subsystem,
/groupA use_hierarchy==1
/01 some tasks
/02 some tasks
/03 some tasks
/04 empty
When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim
is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case,
rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal
refcnt from the kernel.
In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and
no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users.
(And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases)
This patch tries to modify above behavior, by
- retries if css_refcnt is got by someone.
- add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to

A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.
Changes to the tridentfb driver:
- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter
for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the
blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
cyblafb.
- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
first author of the tridentfb).
Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips
M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu +
VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

Add Linux support for the Linear Technology LTC4215 Hot Swap controller
I2C monitoring interface.
I have tested the driver with my board, and it appears to work fine. With
the power supplies disabled, it reads 11.93V input, 1.93V output, no
current and no power. With the supplies enabled, it reads 11.93V input,
11.98V output, no current, no power. I'm not drawing any current at the
moment, so this is reasonable. The value in the sense register never
reads anything except 0, so I expect to get zero from the current and
power calculations.
I didn't attempt to support changing any of the chip's settings or
enabling the FET. I'm not sure even how to do that and still fit within
the hwmon framework. :)

Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.
The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.
For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.
I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).
I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change.
This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).
This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Add per-cgroup cpuacct controller statistics like the system and user
time consumed by the group of tasks.
Changelog:
v7
- Changed the name of the statistic from utime to user and from stime to
system so that in future we could easily add other statistics like irq,
softirq, steal times etc easily.
v6
- Fixed a bug in the error path of cpuacct_create() (pointed by Li Zefan).
v5
- In cpuacct_stats_show(), use cputime64_to_clock_t() since we are
operating on a 64bit variable here.
v4
- Remove comments in cpuacct_update_stats() which explained why rcu_read_lock()
was needed (as per Peter Zijlstra's review comments).
- Don't say that percpu_counter_read() is broken in Documentation/cpuacct.txt
as per KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki's review comments.
v3
- Fix a small race in the cpuacct hierarchy walk.
v2
- stime and utime now exported in clock_t units instead of msecs.
- Addressed the code review comments from Balbir and Li Zefan.
- Moved to -tip tree.
v1
- Moved the stime/utime accounting to cpuacct controller.

Based on previous LKML discussions:
* Update docs for regulator sysfs class attributes to highlight
the fact that all current attributes are intended to be control
inputs, including notably "state" and "opmode" which previously
implied otherwise.
* Define a new regulator driver get_status() method, which is the
first method reporting regulator outputs instead of inputs.
It can report on/off and error status; or instead of simply
"on", report the actual operating mode.
For the moment, this is a sysfs-only interface, not accessible to
regulator clients. Such clients can use the current notification
interfaces to detect errors, if the regulator reports them.

proc 1/2: do PDE usecounting even for ->read_proc, ->write_proc
proc: fix sparse warnings in pagemap_read()
proc: move fs/proc/inode-alloc.txt comment into a source file
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find
new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the
hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical
hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the
hwmon one, so it fits somewhat.
If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver
could be moved there.

Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device
node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the
video_device struct.
This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).
So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.

I have a GeoVision GV-800(S) card, it has 4 CONEXANT BT878A chips.
It has 16 video inputs and 4 audio inputs, and it is almost identical
to the GV-800, as seen on http://bttv-gallery.de .
The only difference appears to be the analog mux, it has a CD22M3494
in place of the MT8816AP. The card has a blue PCB, as seen in this
picture: http://www.gsbr.com.br/imagem/kits/GeoVision%20GV%20800.jpg .
This card wasn't originally supported, and it was detected as
UNKNOWN/GENERIC. The video inputs weren't working, so I tried
"forcing" a few cards like the GeoVision GV-600, but there was still
no video. So I made a patch to support this card, based on the Kodicom
4400r.
The GV-800(S) is identified as follows:

As you can see, the GV-800(S) card is almost identical to the GV-800
on bttv-gallery, so this patch might also work for that card. If not,
only a few changes should be required on the gv800s_write() function.
After this patch, the video inputs work correctly on linux 2.6.24 and
2.6.27 using the software 'motion'. The input order may seem a little
odd, but it's the order the original software/driver uses, and I decided
to keep that order to get the most out of the card.
I tried to get the audio working with the snd-bt87x module, but I only
get noise from every audio input, even after selecting a different mux
with alsamixer. Also, after trying to play sound from those sources, I
randomly get a RISC error about an invalid RISC opcode, and then that
output stops working. I also can't change the sampling rate when
recording. Any pointers to adding audio support are welcome.

It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not
recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities
for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
this though.
Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
code to help these users migrate.
Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
system will world roam.
This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module
parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and
users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

This patch introduces the kernel parameter hvc_iucv_allow= that specifies
a comma-separated list of z/VM user IDs.
If specified, the z/VM IUCV hypervisor console device driver accepts IUCV
connections from listed z/VM user IDs only.

Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.
This allows more natural specification when using the control language
to match against printk formats, e.g
#echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
instead of
#echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace
to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can
handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings.
Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene!
To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each
mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name
string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be
returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers.
The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is
added there, too.

The default bus speed is typically set to speed of slowest I2C chip on the
bus and overriding allow to use some experimental configurations or updated

This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified
alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI
pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to
securely share PCI resources with guest drivers.
If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set
"pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter.
This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter:
[<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...]
Specifies alignment and device to reassign
aligned memory resources.
If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is
used as alignment.
PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
windows need to be expanded.
This is example:
pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7
If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set
"/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and
hot-add the device. For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces
can be used.
The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with
boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";".
For example:
# cd /sys/bus/pci
# echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment
# echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove
# echo 1 > rescan

If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1,
but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then
immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be

Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the
setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to
the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling
of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we
have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC
bit, and it will be called without the BKL held.
As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one
exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the
FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync()
functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking.
Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which
has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had
already been pushed down into the rest.
The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code
has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.
