2012-08-04ext3: nuke write_super from commentsArtem Bityutskiy2-19/+0

2012-08-04vfs: kill write_super and sync_supersArtem Bityutskiy1-40/+0
Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

2012-08-02ore: Fix out-of-bounds access in _ios_obj()Boaz Harrosh1-7/+7
_ios_obj() is accessed by group_index not device_table index. The oc->comps array is only a group_full of devices at a time it is not like ore_comp_dev() which is indexed by a global device_table index. This did not BUG until now because exofs only uses a single COMP for all devices. But with other FSs like PanFS this is not true.

2012-08-02exofs: Fix __r4w_get_page when offset is beyond i_sizeBoaz Harrosh1-3/+12
It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros. Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for. Fix both birds, by returning a global ZERO_PAGE, if offset is beyond i_size. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
2012-08-02exofs: stop using s_dirtArtem Bityutskiy1-11/+0
Exofs has the '->write_super()' handler and makes some use of the '->s_dirt' superblock flag, but it really needs neither of them because it never sets 's_dirt' to one which means the VFS never calls its '->write_super()' handler.

2012-07-31nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS.Mel Gorman2-3/+3
GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO, just not of any filesystem data. The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids recursion into the NFS code. With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct as swap IO can lead to this recursion.

2012-07-31nfs: disable data cache revalidation for swapfilesMel Gorman2-14/+39
The VM does not like PG_private set on PG_swapcache pages. As suggested by Trond in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/25/348, this patch disables NFS data cache revalidation on swap files. as it does not make sense to have other clients change the file while it is being used as swap. This avoids setting PG_private on swap pages, since there ought to be no further races with invalidate_inode_pages2() to deal with. Since we cannot set PG_private we cannot use page->private which is already used by PG_swapcache pages to store the nfs_page. Thus augment the new nfs_page_find_request logic.

2012-07-31nfs: increase number of permitted callback connections.NeilBrown1-0/+4
By default a sunrpc service is limited to (N+3)*20 connections where N is the number of threads. This is 80 when N==1. If this number is exceeded a warning is printed suggesting that the number of threads be increased. However with services which run a single thread, this is impossible. For such services there is a ->sv_maxconn setting that can be used to forcibly increase the limit, and silence the message. This is used by lockd. The nfs client uses a sunrpc service to handle callbacks and it too is single-threaded, so to avoid the useless messages, and to allow a reasonable number of concurrent connections, we need to set ->sv_maxconn. 1024 seems like a good number.

Generic code now blocks all writers from standard write paths. So we add blocking of all writers coming from ioctl (we get a protection of ioctl against racing remount read-only as a bonus) and convert xfs_file_aio_write() to a non-racy freeze protection. We also keep freeze protection on transaction start to block internal filesystem writes such as removal of preallocated blocks.

2012-07-31ext4: Convert to new freezing mechanismJan Kara3-29/+23
We remove most of frozen checks since upper layer takes care of blocking all writes. We have to handle protection in ext4_page_mkwrite() in a special way because we cannot use generic block_page_mkwrite(). Also we add a freeze protection to ext4_evict_inode() so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify a frozen filesystem (we cannot easily instrument ext4_journal_start() / ext4_journal_stop() with freeze protection because we are missing the superblock pointer in ext4_journal_stop() in nojournal mode).

2012-07-31fs: Protect write paths by sb_start_write - sb_end_writeJan Kara3-19/+13
There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem. mmap (handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by __generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write), truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and sb_end_write(). ->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

2012-07-31fs: Add freezing handling to mnt_want_write() / mnt_drop_write()Jan Kara5-24/+85
Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well.

2012-07-31fs: Improve filesystem freezing handlingJan Kara1-21/+230
vfs_check_frozen() tests are racy since the filesystem can be frozen just after the test is performed. Thus in write paths we can end up marking some pages or inodes dirty even though the file system is already frozen. This creates problems with flusher thread hanging on frozen filesystem. Another problem is that exclusion between ->page_mkwrite() and filesystem freezing has been handled by setting page dirty and then verifying s_frozen. This guaranteed that either the freezing code sees the faulted page, writes it, and writeprotects it again or we see s_frozen set and bail out of page fault. This works to protect from page being marked writeable while filesystem freezing is running but has an unpleasant artefact of leaving dirty (although unmodified and writeprotected) pages on frozen filesystem resulting in similar problems with flusher thread as the first problem. This patch aims at providing exclusion between write paths and filesystem freezing. We implement a writer-freeze read-write semaphore in the superblock. Actually, there are three such semaphores because of lock ranking reasons - one for page fault handlers (->page_mkwrite), one for all other writers, and one of internal filesystem purposes (used e.g. to track running transactions). Write paths which should block freezing (e.g. directory operations, ->aio_write(), ->page_mkwrite) hold reader side of the semaphore. Code freezing the filesystem takes the writer side. Only that we don't really want to bounce cachelines of the semaphores between CPUs for each write happening. So we implement the reader side of the semaphore as a per-cpu counter and the writer side is implemented using s_writers.frozen superblock field.

2012-07-30ceph: define snap counts as u32 everywhereAlex Elder2-10/+12
There are two structures in which a count of snapshots are maintained: struct ceph_snap_context { ... u32 num_snaps; ... } and struct ceph_snap_realm { ... u32 num_prior_parent_snaps; /* had prior to parent_since */ ... u32 num_snaps; ... } These fields never take on negative values (e.g., to hold special meaning), and so are really inherently unsigned. Furthermore they take their value from over-the-wire or on-disk formatted 32-bit values. So change their definition to have type u32, and change some spots elsewhere in the code to account for this change.
