2020-07-29vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlockAhmed S. Darwish1-1/+1
A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write side critical section. Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side critical section is entered. If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has neither storage size nor runtime overhead. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

2020-05-13fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHEIra Weiny1-0/+19
DCACHE_DONTCACHE indicates a dentry should not be cached on final dput(). Also add a helper function to mark DCACHE_DONTCACHE on all dentries pointing to a specific inode when that inode is being set I_DONTCACHE. This facilitates dropping dentry references to inodes sooner which require eviction to swap S_DAX mode.

Pull vfs d_inode/d_flags memory ordering fixes from Al Viro: "Fallout from tree-wide audit for ->d_inode/->d_flags barriers use. Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require careful treatment - unless ->d_lock is locked or parent is held at least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us. Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as filesystems are concerned were - race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the wrong value of ->d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed. - manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive (and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we might end up with inconsistent observed values of ->d_inode and ->d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than in every caller out there. The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races. Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly local changes in there. The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where we are _not_ guaranteed ->d_inode/->d_flags stability and have sparse catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder" * 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: fs/namei.c: fix missing barriers when checking positivity fix dget_parent() fastpath race new helper: lookup_positive_unlocked() fs/namei.c: pull positivity check into follow_managed()
2019-11-15fs/namei.c: fix missing barriers when checking positivityAl Viro1-1/+1
Pinned negative dentries can, generally, be made positive by another thread. Conditions that prevent that are * ->d_lock on dentry in question * parent directory held at least shared * nobody else could have observed the address of dentry Most of the places working with those fall into one of those categories; however, d_lookup() and friends need to be used with some care. Fortunately, there's not a lot of call sites, and with few exceptions all of those fall under one of the cases above. Exceptions are all in fs/namei.c - in lookup_fast(), lookup_dcache() and mountpoint_last(). Another one is lookup_slow() - there dcache lookup is done with parent held shared, but the result is used after we'd drop the lock. The same happens in do_last() - the lookup (in lookup_one()) is done with parent locked, but result is used after unlocking. lookup_fast(), do_last() and mountpoint_last() flat-out reject negatives. Most of lookup_dcache() calls are made with parent locked at least shared; the only exception is lookup_one_len_unlocked(). It might return pinned negative, needs serious care from callers. Fortunately, almost nobody calls it directly anymore; all but two callers have converted to lookup_positive_unlocked(), which rejects negatives. lookup_slow() is called by the same lookup_one_len_unlocked() (see above), mountpoint_last() and walk_component(). In those two negatives are rejected. In other words, there is a small set of places where we need to check carefully if a pinned potentially negative dentry is, in fact, positive. After that check we want to be sure that both ->d_inode and type bits in ->d_flags are stable and observed. The set consists of follow_managed() (where the rejection happens for lookup_fast(), walk_component() and do_last()), last_mountpoint() and lookup_positive_unlocked(). Solution: 1) transition from negative to positive (in __d_set_inode_and_type()) stores ->d_inode, then uses smp_store_release() to set ->d_flags type bits. 2) aforementioned 3 places in fs/namei.c fetch ->d_flags with smp_load_acquire() and bugger off if it type bits say "negative". That way anyone downstream of those checks has dentry know positive pinned, with ->d_inode and type bits of ->d_flags stable and observed. I considered splitting off d_lookup_positive(), so that the checks could be done right there, under ->d_lock. However, that leads to massive duplication of rather subtle code in fs/namei.c and fs/dcache.c. It's worse than it might seem, thanks to autofs ->d_manage() getting involved ;-/ No matter what, autofs_d_manage()/autofs_d_automount() must live with the possibility of pinned negative dentry passed their way, becoming positive under them - that's the intended behaviour when lookup comes in the middle of automount in progress, so we can't keep them out of the area that has to deal with those, more's the pity...

2019-11-15fix dget_parent() fastpath raceAl Viro1-1/+3
We are overoptimistic about taking the fast path there; seeing the same value in ->d_parent after having grabbed a reference to that parent does *not* mean that it has remained our parent all along. That wouldn't be a big deal (in the end it is our parent and we have grabbed the reference we are about to return), but... the situation with barriers is messed up. We might have hit the following sequence: d is a dentry of /tmp/a/b CPU1: CPU2: parent = d->d_parent (i.e. dentry of /tmp/a) rename /tmp/a/b to /tmp/b rmdir /tmp/a, making its dentry negative grab reference to parent, end up with cached parent->d_inode (NULL) mkdir /tmp/a, rename /tmp/b to /tmp/a/b recheck d->d_parent, which is back to original decide that everything's fine and return the reference we'd got. The trouble is, caller (on CPU1) will observe dget_parent() returning an apparently negative dentry. It actually is positive, but CPU1 has stale ->d_inode cached. Use d->d_seq to see if it has been moved instead of rechecking ->d_parent. NOTE: we are *NOT* going to retry on any kind of ->d_seq mismatch; we just go into the slow path in such case. We don't wait for ->d_seq to become even either - again, if we are racing with renames, we can bloody well go to slow path anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2019-07-10Teach shrink_dcache_parent() to cope with mixed-filesystem shrink listsAl Viro1-17/+83
Currently, running into a shrink list that contains dentries from different filesystems can cause several unpleasant things for shrink_dcache_parent() and for umount(2). The first problem is that there's a window during shrink_dentry_list() between __dentry_kill() takes a victim out and dropping reference to its parent. During that window the parent looks like a genuine busy dentry. shrink_dcache_parent() (or, worse yet, shrink_dcache_for_umount()) coming at that time will see no eviction candidates and no indication that it needs to wait for some shrink_dentry_list() to proceed further. That applies for any shrink list that might intersect with the subtree we are trying to shrink; the only reason it does not blow on umount(2) in the mainline is that we unregister the memory shrinker before hitting shrink_dcache_for_umount(). Another problem happens if something in a mixed-filesystem shrink list gets be stuck in e.g. iput(), getting umount of unrelated fs to spin waiting for the stuck shrinker to get around to our dentries. Solution: 1) have shrink_dentry_list() decrement the parent's refcount and make sure it's on a shrink list (ours unless it already had been on some other) before calling __dentry_kill(). That eliminates the window when shrink_dcache_parent() would've blown past the entire subtree without noticing anything with zero refcount not on shrink lists. 2) when shrink_dcache_parent() has found no eviction candidates, but some dentries are still sitting on shrink lists, rather than repeating the scan in hope that shrinkers have progressed, scan looking for something on shrink lists with zero refcount. If such a thing is found, grab rcu_read_lock() and stop the scan, with caller locking it for eviction, dropping out of RCU and doing __dentry_kill(), with the same treatment for parent as shrink_dentry_list() would do. Note that right now mixed-filesystem shrink lists do not occur, so this is not a mainline bug. Howevere, there's a bunch of uses for such beasts (e.g. the "try and evict everything we can out of given page" patches; there are potential uses in mount-related code, considerably simplifying the life in fs/namespace.c, etc.) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2019-06-20fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of d_delete()Amir Goldstein1-2/+0
d_delete() was piggy backed for the fsnotify_nameremove() hook when in fact not all callers of d_delete() care about fsnotify events. For all callers of d_delete() that may be interested in fsnotify events, we made sure to call one of fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks before calling d_delete(). Now we can move the fsnotify_nameremove() call from d_delete() to the fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() hooks. Two explicit calls to fsnotify_nameremove() from nfs/afs sillyrename are also removed. This will cause a change of behavior - nfs/afs will NOT generate an fsnotify delete event when renaming over a positive dentry. This change is desirable, because it is consistent with the behavior of all other filesystems. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2019-04-09dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.Al Viro1-11/+13
For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely (among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping the last reference and actually freeing the memory. On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed. So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it. We only really need it for dentries that are created by d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart - just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do *not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only such user right now. FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias() elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server. It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously convoluted.

2019-01-30fs/dcache: Track & report number of negative dentriesWaiman Long1-0/+32
The current dentry number tracking code doesn't distinguish between positive & negative dentries. It just reports the total number of dentries in the LRU lists. As excessive number of negative dentries can have an impact on system performance, it will be wise to track the number of positive and negative dentries separately. This patch adds tracking for the total number of negative dentries in the system LRU lists and reports it in the 5th field in the /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state file. The number, however, does not include negative dentries that are in flight but not in the LRU yet as well as those in the shrinker lists which are on the way out anyway. The number of positive dentries in the LRU lists can be roughly found by subtracting the number of negative dentries from the unused count. Matthew Wilcox had confirmed that since the introduction of the dentry_stat structure in 2.1.60, the dummy array was there, probably for future extension. They were not replacements of pre-existing fields. So no sane applications that read the value of /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state will do dummy thing if the last 2 fields of the sysctl parameter are not zero. IOW, it will be safe to use one of the dummy array entry for negative dentry count. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The nr_dentry_unused per-cpu counter tracks dentries in both the LRU lists and the shrink lists where the DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit is set. The shrink_dcache_sb() function moves dentries from the LRU list to a shrink list and subtracts the dentry count from nr_dentry_unused. This is incorrect as the nr_dentry_unused count will also be decremented in shrink_dentry_list() via d_shrink_del(). To fix this double decrement, the decrement in the shrink_dcache_sb() function is taken out. Fixes: 4e717f5c1083 ("list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all."

2018-10-26dcache: allocate external names from reclaimable kmalloc cachesVlastimil Babka1-29/+9
We can use the newly introduced kmalloc-reclaimable-X caches, to allocate external names in dcache, which will take care of the proper accounting automatically, and also improve anti-fragmentation page grouping. This effectively reverts commit f1782c9bc547 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory") and instead passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to kmalloc(). The accounting thus moves from NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE, which is also considered in MemAvailable calculation and overcommit decisions.

2018-08-09make sure that __dentry_kill() always invalidates d_seq, unhashed or notAl Viro1-5/+2
RCU pathwalk relies upon the assumption that anything that changes ->d_inode of a dentry will invalidate its ->d_seq. That's almost true - the one exception is that the final dput() of already unhashed dentry does *not* touch ->d_seq at all. Unhashing does, though, so for anything we'd found by RCU dcache lookup we are fine. Unfortunately, we can *start* with an unhashed dentry or jump into it. We could try and be careful in the (few) places where that could happen. Or we could just make the final dput() invalidate the damn thing, unhashed or not. The latter is much simpler and easier to backport, so let's do it that way. Reported-by: "Dae R.

2018-08-06root dentries need RCU-delayed freeingAl Viro1-2/+4
Since mountpoint crossing can happen without leaving lazy mode, root dentries do need the same protection against having their memory freed without RCU delay as everything else in the tree. It's partially hidden by RCU delay between detaching from the mount tree and dropping the vfsmount reference, but the starting point of pathwalk can be on an already detached mount, in which case umount-caused RCU delay has already passed by the time the lazy pathwalk grabs rcu_read_lock(). If the starting point happens to be at the root of that vfsmount *and* that vfsmount covers the entire filesystem, we get trouble.

2018-08-03new primitive: discard_new_inode()Al Viro1-1/+1
We don't want open-by-handle picking half-set-up in-core struct inode from e.g. mkdir() having failed halfway through. In other words, we don't want such inodes returned by iget_locked() on their way to extinction. However, we can't just have them unhashed - otherwise open-by-handle immediately *after* that would've ended up creating a new in-core inode over the on-disk one that is in process of being freed right under us. Solution: new flag (I_CREATING) set by insert_inode_locked() and removed by unlock_new_inode() and a new primitive (discard_new_inode()) to be used by such halfway-through-setup failure exits instead of unlock_new_inode() / iput() combinations. That primitive unlocks new inode, but leaves I_CREATING in place. iget_locked() treats finding an I_CREATING inode as failure (-ESTALE, once we sort out the error propagation). insert_inode_locked() treats the same as instant -EBUSY. ilookup() treats those as icache miss.

2018-05-11do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safelyAl Viro1-0/+22
For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode) which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch ->i_mutex. Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage that follows from that. Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new()) combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode(). All combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should be converted to that.

As previously reported (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8642031/) it's possible to call shrink_dentry_list with a large number of dentries (> 10000). This, in turn, could trigger the softlockup detector and possibly trigger a panic. In addition to the unmount path being vulnerable to this scenario, at SuSE we've observed similar situation happening during process exit on processes that touch a lot of dentries. Here is an excerpt from a crash dump. The number after the colon are the number of dentries on the list passed to shrink_dentry_list: PID 99760: 10722 PID 107530: 215 PID 108809: 24134 PID 108877: 21331 PID 141708: 16487 So we want to kill between 15k-25k dentries without yielding. And one possible call stack looks like: 4 [ffff8839ece41db0] _raw_spin_lock at ffffffff8152a5f8 5 [ffff8839ece41db0] evict at ffffffff811c3026 6 [ffff8839ece41dd0] __dentry_kill at ffffffff811bf258 7 [ffff8839ece41df0] shrink_dentry_list at ffffffff811bf593 8 [ffff8839ece41e18] shrink_dcache_parent at ffffffff811bf830 9 [ffff8839ece41e50] proc_flush_task at ffffffff8120dd61 10 [ffff8839ece41ec0] release_task at ffffffff81059ebd 11 [ffff8839ece41f08] do_exit at ffffffff8105b8ce 12 [ffff8839ece41f78] sys_exit at ffffffff8105bd53 13 [ffff8839ece41f80] system_call_fastpath at ffffffff81532909 While some of the callers of shrink_dentry_list do use cond_resched, this is not sufficient to prevent softlockups.

2018-04-11dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memoryRoman Gushchin1-9/+30
I received a report about suspicious growth of unreclaimable slabs on some machines. I've found that it happens on machines with low memory pressure, and these unreclaimable slabs are external names attached to dentries. External names are allocated using generic kmalloc() function, so they are accounted as unreclaimable. But they are held by dentries, which are reclaimable, and they will be reclaimed under the memory pressure. In particular, this breaks MemAvailable calculation, as it doesn't take unreclaimable slabs into account. This leads to a silly situation, when a machine is almost idle, has no memory pressure and therefore has a big dentry cache. And the resulting MemAvailable is too low to start a new workload. To address the issue, the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter is used to track the amount of memory, consumed by external names. The counter is increased in the dentry allocation path, if an external name structure is allocated; and it's decreased in the dentry freeing path. To reproduce the problem I've used the following Python script: import os for iter in range (0, 10000000): try: name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220 os.stat(name) except Exception: pass Without this patch: $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7811688 kB $ python indirect.py $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 2753052 kB With the patch: $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7809516 kB $ python indirect.py $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7749144 kB [guro@fb.com: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting for CONFIG_SLOB] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180312194140.19517-1-guro@fb.com [guro@fb.com: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180313125701.7955-1-guro@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180305133743.12746-5-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-03-29make non-exchanging __d_move() copy ->d_parent rather than swap themAl Viro1-63/+30
Currently d_move(from, to) does the following: * name/parent of from <- old name/parent of to, from hashed there * to is unhashed * name of to is preserved * if from used to be detached, to gets detached * if from used to be attached, parent of to <- old parent of from. That's both user-visibly bogus and complicates reasoning a lot. Much saner semantics would be * name/parent of from <- name/parent of to, from hashed there. * to is unhashed * name/parent of to is unchanged. The price, of course, is that old parent of from might lose a reference. However, * all potentially cross-directory callers of d_move() have both parents pinned directly; typically, dentries themselves are grabbed only after we have grabbed and locked both parents. IOW, the decrement of old parent's refcount in case of d_move() won't reach zero. * __d_move() from d_splice_alias() is done to detached alias. No refcount decrements in that case * __d_move() from __d_unalias() *can* get the refcount to zero. So let's grab a reference to alias' old parent before calling __d_unalias() and dput() it after we'd dropped rename_lock. That does make d_splice_alias() potentially blocking. However, it has no callers in non-sleepable contexts (and the case where we'd grown that dget/dput pair is _very_ rare, so performance is not an issue). Another thing that needs adjustment is unlocking in the end of __d_move(); folded it in. And cleaned the remnants of bogus ordering from the "lock them in the beginning" counterpart - it's never been right and now (well, for 7 years now) we have that thing always serialized on rename_lock anyway.

2018-03-29fs/dcache: Avoid a try_lock loop in shrink_dentry_list()John Ogness1-31/+10
shrink_dentry_list() holds dentry->d_lock and needs to acquire dentry->d_inode->i_lock. This cannot be done with a spin_lock() operation because it's the reverse of the regular lock order. To avoid ABBA deadlocks it is done with a trylock loop. Trylock loops are problematic in two scenarios: 1) PREEMPT_RT converts spinlocks to 'sleeping' spinlocks, which are preemptible. As a consequence the i_lock holder can be preempted by a higher priority task. If that task executes the trylock loop it will do so forever and live lock. 2) In virtual machines trylock loops are problematic as well. The VCPU on which the i_lock holder runs can be scheduled out and a task on a different VCPU can loop for a whole time slice. In the worst case this can lead to starvation. Commits 47be61845c77 ("fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()") and 046b961b45f9 ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's d_lock earlier") are addressing exactly those symptoms. Avoid the trylock loop by using dentry_kill(). When pruning ancestors, the same code applies that is used to kill a dentry in dput(). This also has the benefit that the locking order is now the same. First the inode is locked, then the parent. Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
