2008-03-31[GFS2] Only wake the reclaim daemon if we need toBob Peterson1-4/+4
This patch only wakes up the glock reclaim daemon if there is actually something to be reclaimed. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Misc fixupsBob Peterson2-5/+2
This patch contains two small fixups that didn't fit elsewhere. They are: (1) get rid of temp variable in find_metapath. (2) Remove vestigial "ret" variable from gfs2_writepage_common. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Only do lo_incore_commit onceBob Peterson4-29/+17
This patch is performance related. When we're doing a log flush, I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for data bufs and once for metadata bufs. Since this is the same function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be no reason to call it twice. Since we only need to call it once, we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops" code and making it a stand-along static function.

2008-03-31[GFS2] Fix debug inode printingBob Peterson1-1/+2
I noticed that the latest change to i_height got rid of the value from the inode dump. This patch adds it back. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Get rid of unneeded parameter in gfs2_rlist_allocBob Peterson5-10/+8
This patch removed the unnecessary parameter from function gfs2_rlist_alloc. The parameter was always passed in as 0. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-03-31[GFS2] Streamline indirect pointer tree height calculationSteven Whitehouse5-83/+55
This patch improves the calculation of the tree height in order to reduce the number of operations which are carried out on each call to gfs2_block_map. In the common case, we now make a single comparison, rather than calculating the required tree height from scratch each time. Also in the case that the tree does need some extra height, we start from the current height rather from zero when we work out what the new height ought to be. In addition the di_height field is moved into the inode proper and reduced in size to a u8 since the value must be between 0 and GFS2_MAX_META_HEIGHT (10).

2008-03-31[GFS2] Speed up gfs2_write_alloc_required, deprecate gfs2_extent_mapSteven Whitehouse1-17/+19
This patch removes the call to gfs2_extent_map from gfs2_write_alloc_required, instead we call gfs2_block_map directly. This results in fewer overall calls to gfs2_block_map in the multi-block case. Also, gfs2_extent_map is marked as deprecated so that people know that its going away as soon as all the callers have been converted. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

kafs doesn't check if the cell already exists - so if you do an echo "add newcell.org 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/cells it will try to create this cell again. kobject will also complain about a double registration.

2008-03-28vfs: fix data leak in nobh_write_end()Dmitri Monakhov1-7/+6
Current nobh_write_end() implementation ignore partial writes(copied < len) case if page was fully mapped and simply mark page as Uptodate, which is totally wrong because area [pos+copied, pos+len) wasn't updated explicitly in previous write_begin call. It simply contains garbage from pagecache and result in data leakage. #TEST_CASE_BEGIN: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In fact issue triggered by classical testcase open("/mnt/test", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 ftruncate(3, 409600) = 0 writev(3, [{"a", 1}, {NULL, 4095}], 2) = 1 ##TESTCASE_SOURCE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <errno.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, ret; void* p; struct iovec iov[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666); ftruncate(fd, 409600); iov[0].iov_base="a"; iov[0].iov_len=1; iov[1].iov_base=NULL; iov[1].iov_len=4096; ret = writev(fd, iov, sizeof(iov)/sizeof(struct iovec)); printf("writev = %d, err = %d\n", ret, errno); return 0; } ##TESTCASE RESULT: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@ts63 ~]# mount | grep mnt2 /dev/mapper/test on /mnt2 type ext2 (rw,nobh) [root@ts63 ~]# /tmp/writev /mnt2/test writev = 1, err = 0 [root@ts63 ~]# hexdump -C /mnt2/test 00000000 61 65 62 6f 6f 74 00 00 f0 b9 b4 59 3a 00 00 00 |aeboot.....Y:...| 00000010 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000020 df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df |................| 00000030 3a 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |:...*...!.......| 00000040 60 c0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 40 4a 8d 00 00 00 00 00 |`.......@J......| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000060 74 69 6d 65 20 64 64 20 69 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f |time dd if=/dev/| 00000070 6c 6f 6f 70 30 20 20 6f 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 6e |loop0 of=/dev/n| skip.. 00000f50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........1.......| 00000f60 6d 6b 66 73 2e 65 78 74 33 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 |mkfs.ext3 /dev/v| 00000f70 7a 76 67 2f 74 65 73 74 20 2d 62 34 30 39 36 00 |zvg/test -b4096.| 00000f80 a0 fe 8c 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........!.......| 00000f90 23 31 32 30 35 39 35 30 34 30 34 00 3a 00 00 00 |#1205950404.:...| 00000fa0 20 00 8d 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000fb0 d0 cf 8c 00 00 00 00 00 10 d0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000fc0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000fd0 6d 6f 75 6e 74 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 7a 76 67 2f |mount /dev/vzvg/| 00000fe0 74 65 73 74 20 20 2f 76 7a 20 2d 6f 20 64 61 74 |test /vz -o dat| 00000ff0 61 3d 77 72 69 74 65 62 61 63 6b 00 00 00 00 00 |a=writeback.....| 00001000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros. #TEST_CASE_END Attached patch: - Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller, This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero *fadata pointer at the same time. - Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case. - Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers.

commit e9720ac ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)) broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev. This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was introduced in that commit. Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes ganglia happy again.

2008-03-19ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removalDavid Howells1-19/+11
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case): (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the need for specific negative-inode handling. This means the positive success handling now flows straight through. (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean. Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid 32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends. Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

2008-03-19aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes1-0/+8
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

2008-03-19nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_requestFred Isaman2-2/+11
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks. The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request Signed-off-by: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-03-19[PATCH] get stack footprint of pathname resolution back to relative sanityAl Viro1-31/+32
Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk(). Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with: * It's in the middle of recursion. Depth is equal to the nesting depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8. * struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk, at least 12 pointers + 5 ints. * moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation. * there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have stack footprint. * kernel stack is not infinite. The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

Make sure no-one calls dentry_open with a NULL vfsmount argument and crap out with a stacktrace otherwise.

2008-03-19[PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate private use of struct file in xattrJeff Mahoney1-80/+30
After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the reiserfs xattr code. As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it. reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

* hppfs_iget() and its users are racy; there's no need to pollute icache anyway, new_inode() works fine and is safe, unlike the current kludges (these relied on overwriting ->i_ino before another iget_locked() gets to that one - and did it after unlocking). * merge hppfs_iget()/init_inode()/hppfs_read_inode(), while we are at it. * to pass proper vfsmount to dentry_open() store the reference in hppfs superblock.
