2011-08-08fuse: mark pages accessed when written toJohannes Weiner1-0/+3
As fuse does not use the page cache library functions when userspace writes to a file, it did not benefit from 'c8236db mm: mark page accessed before we write_end()' that made sure pages are properly marked accessed when written to.

Ever since 'ea9b990 fuse: implement perform_write', the .write_begin and .write_end aops have been dead code. Their task - acquiring a page from the page cache, sending out a write request and releasing the page again - is now done batch-wise to maximize the number of pages send per userspace request.

2011-08-08fuse: fix flockMiklos Szeredi1-1/+10
Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX locking infrastructure: - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS) - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically unlocked on file release - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write. The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock locks can be emulated with POSIX locks. This patch fixes the first two issues. The last one needs to be fixed in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse library).

2011-07-20fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik1-6/+18
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-20fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseekJosef Bacik1-2/+19
This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. In some cases we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done. For example in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself that is all we have to do.

2010-11-30fuse: fix ioctl when server is 32bitMiklos Szeredi1-6/+44
If a 32bit CUSE server is run on 64bit this results in EIO being returned to the caller. The reason is that FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY reply was defined to use 'struct iovec', which is different on 32bit and 64bit archs. Work around this by looking at the size of the reply to determine which struct was used. This is only needed if CONFIG_COMPAT is defined. A more permanent fix for the interface will be to use the same struct on both 32bit and 64bit.

The attribute cache for a file was not being cleared when a file is opened with O_TRUNC. If the filesystem's open operation truncates the file ("atomic_o_trunc" feature flag is set) then the kernel should invalidate the cached st_mtime and st_ctime attributes.

2010-07-12fuse: add store requestMiklos Szeredi1-1/+1
Userspace filesystem can request data to be stored in the inode's mapping. This request is synchronous and has no reply. If the write to the fuse device returns an error then the store request was not fully completed (but may have updated some pages). If the stored data overflows the current file size, then the size is extended, similarly to a write(2) on the filesystem. Pages which have been completely stored are marked uptodate.

2010-05-25fuse: allow splice to move pagesMiklos Szeredi1-9/+19
When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache. This allows populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page contents, i.e. zero copy read capability. The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the page cache: - buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate - buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place - remove_from_page_cache() on the old page - add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to the page. Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked() are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function. fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the add_to_page_cache_locked() failed. A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic splice/steal code.

2010-05-25fuse: get page reference for readpagesMiklos Szeredi1-0/+2
Acquire a page ref on pages in ->readpages() and release them when the read has finished. Not acquiring a reference didn't seem to cause any trouble since the page is locked and will not be kicked out of the page cache during the read. However the following patches will want to remove the page from the cache so a separate ref is needed. Making the reference in req->pages explicit also makes the code easier to understand.

2010-02-02mm: flush dcache before writing into page to avoid aliasanfei zhou1-0/+3
The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be: flush_dcache_page(page); kmap_atomic(page); write to page; kunmap_atomic(page); flush_dcache_page(page); More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly. Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is not ARM-specific: int val = 0x11111111; fd = open("abc", O_RDWR); addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *(addr+0) = 0x44444444; tmp = *(addr+0); *(addr+1) = 0x77777777; write(fd, &val, sizeof(int)); close(fd); The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin1-2/+2
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).
