git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "There is a lot here. A lot of these changes result in subtle user visible differences in kernel behavior. I don't expect anything will care but I will revert/fix things immediately if any regressions show up. From Seth Forshee there is a continuation of the work to make the vfs ready for unpriviled mounts. We had thought the previous changes prevented the creation of files outside of s_user_ns of a filesystem, but it turns we missed the O_CREAT path. Ooops. Pavel Tikhomirov and Oleg Nesterov worked together to fix a long standing bug in the implemenation of PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER where only children that are forked after the prctl are considered and not children forked before the prctl. The only known user of this prctl systemd forks all children after the prctl. So no userspace regressions will occur. Holding earlier forked children to the same rules as later forked children creates a semantic that is sane enough to allow checkpoing of processes that use this feature. There is a long delayed change by Nikolay Borisov to limit inotify instances inside a user namespace. Michael Kerrisk extends the API for files used to maniuplate namespaces with two new trivial ioctls to allow discovery of the hierachy and properties of namespaces. Konstantin Khlebnikov with the help of Al Viro adds code that when a network namespace exits purges it's sysctl entries from the dcache. As in some circumstances this could use a lot of memory. Vivek Goyal fixed a bug with stacked filesystems where the permissions on the wrong inode were being checked. I continue previous work on ptracing across exec. Allowing a file to be setuid across exec while being ptraced if the tracer has enough credentials in the user namespace, and if the process has CAP_SETUID in it's own namespace. Proc files for setuid or otherwise undumpable executables are now owned by the root in the user namespace of their mm. Allowing debugging of setuid applications in containers to work better. A bug I introduced with permission checking and automount is now fixed. The big change is to mark the mounts that the kernel initiates as a result of an automount. This allows the permission checks in sget to be safely suppressed for this kind of mount. As the permission check happened when the original filesystem was mounted. Finally a special case in the mount namespace is removed preventing unbounded chains in the mount hash table, and making the semantics simpler which benefits CRIU. The vfs fix along with related work in ima and evm I believe makes us ready to finish developing and merge fully unprivileged mounts of the fuse filesystem. The cleanups of the mount namespace makes discussing how to fix the worst case complexity of umount. The stacked filesystem fixes pave the way for adding multiple mappings for the filesystem uids so that efficient and safer containers can be implemented" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc/sysctl: Don't grab i_lock under sysctl_lock. vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid() proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts. prctl: propagate has_child_subreaper flag to every descendant introduce the walk_process_tree() helper nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a userns fs: Better permission checking for submounts exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction vfs: open() with O_CREAT should not create inodes with unknown ids nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace type proc: Better ownership of files for non-dumpable tasks in user namespaces exec: Remove LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP exec: Test the ptracer's saved cred to see if the tracee can gain caps exec: Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits

2017-02-02fs: Better permission checking for submountsEric W. Biederman1-3/+10
To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem. The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the ordinary filesystem permission checks. Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem. Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems ordinary permission checks. Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate. vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate action. sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks on submounts. follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that has proven problemantic. do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so that we know userspace will never by able to specify it. autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking. cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount. debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of the debugfs automount function.

Change thaw_super() to check frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE rather than frozen == SB_UNFROZEN, otherwise it can race with freeze_super() which drops sb->s_umount after SB_FREEZE_WRITE to preserve the lock ordering. In this case thaw_super() will wrongly call s_op->unfreeze_fs() before it was actually frozen, and call sb_freeze_unlock() which leads to the unbalanced percpu_up_write().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman: "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that goal. While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for everyone. At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things: - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block. - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID in vfs data structures. By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the owning user namespace of the filesystem. One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for such inodes (aka only reads are allowed). This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock contains owner information. These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior. - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less privileged user. - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock instead. Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably expecting mount flags to be what they were set to. There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond what is in this set of changes. - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device during mount. - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their security xattrs accordingly. - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to generalize this case). Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist: - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability] - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow the superblock owner to perform them. - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated normally. I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be locked down and handled generically.

2016-07-26fs/fs-writeback.c: add a new writeback list for syncDave Chinner1-0/+2
wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that we don't need to wait on. To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes that the current sync(2) needs to wait for. Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under writeback due to the sync. With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

2016-06-23userns: Remove implicit MNT_NODEV fragility.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+3
Replace the implict setting of MNT_NODEV on mounts that happen with just user namespace permissions with an implicit setting of SB_I_NODEV in s_iflags. The visibility of the implicit MNT_NODEV has caused problems in the past. With this change the fragile case where an implicit MNT_NODEV needs to be preserved in do_remount is removed. Using SB_I_NODEV is much less fragile as s_iflags are set during the original mount and never changed. In do_new_mount with the implicit setting of MNT_NODEV gone, the only code that can affect mnt_flags is fs_fully_visible so simplify the if statement and reduce the indentation of the code to make that clear.

2016-06-23fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_blockEric W. Biederman1-6/+46
Start marking filesystems with a user namespace owner, s_user_ns. In this change this is only used for permission checks of who may mount a filesystem. Ultimately s_user_ns will be used for translating ids and checking capabilities for filesystems mounted from user namespaces. The default policy for setting s_user_ns is implemented in sget(), which arranges for s_user_ns to be set to current_user_ns() and to ensure that the mounter of the filesystem has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that user_ns. The guts of sget are split out into another function sget_userns(). The function sget_userns calls alloc_super with the specified user namespace or it verifies the existing superblock that was found has the expected user namespace, and fails with EBUSY when it is not. This failing prevents users with the wrong privileges mounting a filesystem. The reason for the split of sget_userns from sget is that in some cases such as mount_ns and kernfs_mount_ns a different policy for permission checking of mounts and setting s_user_ns is necessary, and the existence of sget_userns() allows those policies to be implemented. The helper mount_ns is expected to be used for filesystems such as proc and mqueuefs which present per namespace information. The function mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns instead of sget to ensure the user namespace owner of the namespace whose information is presented by the filesystem is used on the superblock. For sysfs and cgroup the appropriate permission checks are already in place, and kernfs_mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns so that the init_user_ns is the only user namespace used. For the cgroup filesystem cgroup namespace mounts are bind mounts of a subset of the full cgroup filesystem and as such s_user_ns must be the same for all of them as there is only a single superblock. Mounts of sysfs that vary based on the network namespace could in principle change s_user_ns but it keeps the analysis and implementation of kernfs simpler if that is not supported, and at present there appear to be no benefits from supporting a different s_user_ns on any sysfs mount. Getting the details of setting s_user_ns correct has been a long process. Thanks to Pavel Tikhorirorv who spotted a leak in sget_userns. Thanks to Seth Forshee who has kept the work alive.

2016-06-23vfs: Pass data, ns, and ns->userns to mount_nsEric W. Biederman1-3/+10
Today what is normally called data (the mount options) is not passed to fill_super through mount_ns. Pass the mount options and the namespace separately to mount_ns so that filesystems such as proc that have mount options, can use mount_ns. Pass the user namespace to mount_ns so that the standard permission check that verifies the mounter has permissions over the namespace can be performed in mount_ns instead of in each filesystems .mount method. Thus removing the duplication between mqueuefs and proc in terms of permission checks. The extra permission check does not currently affect the rpc_pipefs filesystem and the nfsd filesystem as those filesystems do not currently allow unprivileged mounts. Without unpvileged mounts it is guaranteed that the caller has already passed capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) which guarantees extra permission check will pass. Update rpc_pipefs and the nfsd filesystem to ensure that the network namespace reference is always taken in fill_super and always put in kill_sb so that the logic is simpler and so that errors originating inside of fill_super do not cause a network namespace leak.

2016-03-03writeback: flush inode cgroup wb switches instead of pinning super_blockTejun Heo1-0/+1
If cgroup writeback is in use, inodes can be scheduled for asynchronous wb switching. Before 5ff8eaac1636 ("writeback: keep superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches"), this could race with umount leading to super_block being destroyed while inodes are pinned for wb switching. 5ff8eaac1636 fixed it by bumping s_active while wb switches are in flight; however, this allowed in-flight wb switches to make umounts asynchronous when the userland expected synchronosity - e.g. fsck immediately following umount may fail because the device is still busy. This patch removes the problematic super_block pinning and instead makes generic_shutdown_super() flush in-flight wb switches. wb switches are now executed on a dedicated isw_wq so that they can be flushed and isw_nr_in_flight keeps track of the number of in-flight wb switches so that flushing can be avoided in most cases. v2: Move cgroup_writeback_umount() further below and add MS_ACTIVE check in inode_switch_wbs() as Jan an Al suggested.

2015-08-17sync: serialise per-superblock sync operationsDave Chinner1-0/+1
When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and burn more CPU than if they were serialised. Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

2015-08-15change sb_writers to use percpu_rw_semaphoreOleg Nesterov1-81/+30
We can remove everything from struct sb_writers except frozen and add the array of percpu_rw_semaphore's instead. This patch doesn't remove sb_writers->wait_unfrozen yet, we keep it for get_super_thawed(). We will probably remove it later. This change tries to address the following problems: - Firstly, __sb_start_write() looks simply buggy. It does __sb_end_write() if it sees ->frozen, but if it migrates to another CPU before percpu_counter_dec(), sb_wait_write() can wrongly succeed if there is another task which holds the same "semaphore": sb_wait_write() can miss the result of the previous percpu_counter_inc() but see the result of this percpu_counter_dec(). - As Dave Hansen reports, it is suboptimal. The trivial microbenchmark that writes to a tmpfs file in a loop runs 12% faster if we change this code to rely on RCU and kill the memory barriers. - This code doesn't look simple. It would be better to rely on the generic locking code. According to Dave, this change adds the same performance improvement. Note: with this change both freeze_super() and thaw_super() will do synchronize_sched_expedited() 3 times. This is just ugly. But: - This will be "fixed" by the rcu_sync changes we are going to merge. After that freeze_super()->percpu_down_write() will use synchronize_sched(), and thaw_super() won't use synchronize() at all. This doesn't need any changes in fs/super.c. - Once we merge rcu_sync changes, we can also change super.c so that all wb_write->rw_sem's will share the single ->rss in struct sb_writes, then freeze_super() will need only one synchronize_sched().

2015-08-15shift percpu_counter_destroy() into destroy_super_work()Oleg Nesterov1-4/+19
Of course, this patch is ugly as hell. It will be (partially) reverted later. We add it to ensure that other WIP changes in percpu_rw_semaphore won't break fs/super.c. We do not even need this change right now, percpu_free_rwsem() is fine in atomic context. But we are going to change this, it will be might_sleep() after we merge the rcu_sync() patches. And even after that we do not really need destroy_super_work(), we will kill it in any case. Instead, destroy_super_rcu() should just check that rss->cb_state == CB_IDLE and do call_rcu() again in the (very unlikely) case this is not true. So this is just the temporary kludge which helps us to avoid the conflicts with the changes which will be (hopefully) routed via rcu tree.

2015-08-15fix the broken lockdep logic in __sb_start_write()Oleg Nesterov1-33/+40
1. wait_event(frozen < level) without rwsem_acquire_read() is just wrong from lockdep perspective. If we are going to deadlock because the caller is buggy, lockdep can't detect this problem. 2. __sb_start_write() can race with thaw_super() + freeze_super(), and after "goto retry" the 2nd acquire_freeze_lock() is wrong. 3. The "tell lockdep we are doing trylock" hack doesn't look nice. I think this is correct, but this logic should be more explicit. Yes, the recursive read_lock() is fine if we hold the lock on a higher level. But we do not need to fool lockdep. If we can not deadlock in this case then try-lock must not fail and we can use use wait == F throughout this code. Note: as Dave Chinner explains, the "trylock" hack and the fat comment can be probably removed. But this needs a separate change and it will be trivial: just kill __sb_start_write() and rename do_sb_start_write() back to __sb_start_write().

2015-04-14cleancache: remove limit on the number of cleancache enabled filesystemsVladimir Davydov1-1/+1
The limit equals 32 and is imposed by the number of entries in the fs_poolid_map and shared_fs_poolid_map. Nowadays it is insufficient, because with containers on board a Linux host can have hundreds of active fs mounts. These maps were introduced by commit 49a9ab815acb8 ("mm: cleancache: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules") in order to allow compiling cleancache drivers as modules. Real pool ids are stored in these maps while super_block->cleancache_poolid points to an entry in the map, so that on cleancache registration we can walk over all (if there are <= 32 of them, of course) cleancache-enabled super blocks and assign real pool ids. Actually, there is absolutely no need in these maps, because we can iterate over all super blocks immediately using iterate_supers. This is not racy, because cleancache_init_ops is called from mount_fs with super_block->s_umount held for writing, while iterate_supers takes this semaphore for reading, so if we call iterate_supers after setting cleancache_ops, all super blocks that had been created before cleancache_register_ops was called will be assigned pool ids by the action function of iterate_supers while all newer super blocks will receive it in cleancache_init_fs. This patch therefore removes the maps and hence the artificial limit on the number of cleancache enabled filesystems.

2015-02-22trylock_super(): replacement for grab_super_passive()Konstantin Khlebnikov1-22/+18
I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for progress in memory allocator. Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here: super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write. Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi writeback list under wb->list_lock. This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount: generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write. New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore, callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when they're done.

2015-02-12fs: shrinker: always scan at least one object of each typeVladimir Davydov1-3/+6
In super_cache_scan() we divide the number of objects of particular type by the total number of objects in order to distribute pressure among As a result, in some corner cases we can get nr_to_scan=0 even if there are some objects to reclaim, e.g. dentries=1, inodes=1, fs_objects=1, nr_to_scan=1/3=0. This is unacceptable for per memcg kmem accounting, because this means that some objects may never get reclaimed after memcg death, preventing it from being freed. This patch therefore assures that super_cache_scan() will scan at least one object of each type if any.

2015-02-12fs: make shrinker memcg awareVladimir Davydov1-3/+3
Now, to make any list_lru-based shrinker memcg aware we should only initialize its list_lru as memcg aware. Let's do it for the general FS shrinker (super_block::s_shrink). There are other FS-specific shrinkers that use list_lru for storing objects, such as XFS and GFS2 dquot cache shrinkers, but since they reclaim objects that are shared among different cgroups, there is no point making them memcg aware. It's a big question whether we should account them to memcg at all.

2015-02-12list_lru: organize all list_lrus to listVladimir Davydov1-0/+8
To make list_lru memcg aware, we need all list_lrus to be kept on a list protected by a mutex, so that we could sleep while walking over the list. Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep. Fortunately, there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by that time. Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is a no-op. Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we need an explicit check there.

2015-02-12fs: consolidate {nr,free}_cached_objects args in shrink_controlVladimir Davydov1-6/+6
We are going to make FS shrinkers memcg-aware. To achieve that, we will have to pass the memcg to scan to the nr_cached_objects and free_cached_objects VFS methods, which currently take only the NUMA node to scan. Since the shrink_control structure already holds the node, and the memcg to scan will be added to it when we introduce memcg-aware vmscan, let us consolidate the methods' arguments in this structure to keep things clean.

2015-02-12list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_{count,walk}Vladimir Davydov1-13/+11
Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what this patch set is intended to do. Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory cgroup. Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does. As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified hierarchy. This patch (of 9): NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node, it issues commands like this: count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid); freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func, isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan); where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it from vmscan. To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control structure. This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

2014-06-04fs/superblock: avoid locking counting inodes and dentries before reclaiming themTim Chen1-4/+8
We remove the call to grab_super_passive in call to super_cache_count. This becomes a scalability bottleneck as multiple threads are trying to do memory reclamation, e.g. when we are doing large amount of file read and page cache is under pressure. The cached objects quickly got reclaimed down to 0 and we are aborting the cache_scan() reclaim. But counting creates a log jam acquiring the sb_lock. We are holding the shrinker_rwsem which ensures the safety of call to list_lru_count_node() and s_op->nr_cached_objects. The shrinker is unregistered now before ->kill_sb() so the operation is safe when we are doing unmount.

Based on ext4, I get the following results but unfortunately my larger test machines are all unavailable so this is based on a relatively small machine. postmark 3.15.0-rc5 3.15.0-rc5 vanilla proportion-v1r4 Ops/sec Transactions 21.00 ( 0.00%) 25.00 ( 19.05%) Ops/sec FilesCreate 39.00 ( 0.00%) 45.00 ( 15.38%) Ops/sec CreateTransact 10.00 ( 0.00%) 12.00 ( 20.00%) Ops/sec FilesDeleted 6202.00 ( 0.00%) 6202.00 ( 0.00%) Ops/sec DeleteTransact 11.00 ( 0.00%) 12.00 ( 9.09%) Ops/sec DataRead/MB 25.97 ( 0.00%) 30.02 ( 15.59%) Ops/sec DataWrite/MB 49.99 ( 0.00%) 57.78 ( 15.58%) ffsb (mail server simulator) 3.15.0-rc5 3.15.0-rc5 vanilla proportion-v1r4 Ops/sec readall 9402.63 ( 0.00%) 9805.74 ( 4.29%) Ops/sec create 4695.45 ( 0.00%) 4781.39 ( 1.83%) Ops/sec delete 173.72 ( 0.00%) 177.23 ( 2.02%) Ops/sec Transactions 14271.80 ( 0.00%) 14764.37 ( 3.45%) Ops/sec Read 37.00 ( 0.00%) 38.50 ( 4.05%) Ops/sec Write 18.20 ( 0.00%) 18.50 ( 1.65%) dd of a large file 3.15.0-rc5 3.15.0-rc5 vanilla proportion-v1r4 WallTime DownloadTar 75.00 ( 0.00%) 61.00 ( 18.67%) WallTime DD 423.00 ( 0.00%) 401.00 ( 5.20%) WallTime Delete 2.00 ( 0.00%) 5.00 (-150.00%) stutter (times mmap latency during large amounts of IO) 3.15.0-rc5 3.15.0-rc5 vanilla proportion-v1r4 Unit >5ms Delays 80252.0000 ( 0.00%) 81523.0000 ( -1.58%) Unit Mmap min 8.2118 ( 0.00%) 8.3206 ( -1.33%) Unit Mmap mean 17.4614 ( 0.00%) 17.2868 ( 1.00%) Unit Mmap stddev 24.9059 ( 0.00%) 34.6771 (-39.23%) Unit Mmap max 2811.6433 ( 0.00%) 2645.1398 ( 5.92%) Unit Mmap 90% 20.5098 ( 0.00%) 18.3105 ( 10.72%) Unit Mmap 93% 22.9180 ( 0.00%) 20.1751 ( 11.97%) Unit Mmap 95% 25.2114 ( 0.00%) 22.4988 ( 10.76%) Unit Mmap 99% 46.1430 ( 0.00%) 43.5952 ( 5.52%) Unit Ideal Tput 85.2623 ( 0.00%) 78.8906 ( 7.47%) Unit Tput min 44.0666 ( 0.00%) 43.9609 ( 0.24%) Unit Tput mean 45.5646 ( 0.00%) 45.2009 ( 0.80%) Unit Tput stddev 0.9318 ( 0.00%) 1.1084 (-18.95%) Unit Tput max 46.7375 ( 0.00%) 46.7539 ( -0.04%) This patch (of 3): We will like to unregister the sb shrinker before ->kill_sb(). This will allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to update ref count on sb. We want to avoid locking during memory reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are out of cached objects. This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever block. That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding by using grab_super_passive() is now: shrinker umount down_read(shrinker_rwsem) down_write(sb->s_umount) shrinker_unregister down_write(shrinker_rwsem) <blocks> grab_super_passive(sb) down_read_trylock(sb->s_umount) <fails> <shrinker aborts> .... <shrinkers finish running> up_read(shrinker_rwsem) <unblocks> <removes shrinker> up_write(shrinker_rwsem) ->kill_sb() .... So it is safe to deregister the shrinker before ->kill_sb().
