dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks With the dentry LRUs being per-sb structures, there is no real need for a global dentry_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different filesytsems completely from each other. The need for this is independent of any performance consideration that may arise: in the interest of abstracting the lru operations away, it is mandatory that each lru works around its own lock instead of a global lock for all of them.

parallel lookups machinery, part 3 We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup dentry with matching parent/name. Right now it's impossible, but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts will appear. Add a secondary hash for locating those. Hash chains go through the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore. Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications - with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are buggered once it's removed from the chain. On the other hand, the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up adding to the chain anyway. That allows us to avoid bothering with ->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until removed from chain. New helper: d_alloc_parallel(). Right now it allocates, verifies that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup hash. Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's been found) or new dentry. In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting for ongoing lookup to finish. Note that in-lookup matches won't be possible until we actually go for shared locking. lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel(). Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to review. All this machinery will start doing something useful only when we go for shared locking; it's just that the combination is too large for my taste. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in two main ways: * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version. It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/ Dave Chinner (18): dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list mm: new shrinker API shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API list: add a new LRU list type inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code. dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure list_lru: per-node list infrastructure shrinker: add node awareness fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This patch just moves int to longs.

The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested.

fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in two main ways: * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version. It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change.

vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces The calling conventions for __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() are annoying in different ways, and there is actually one single underlying reason for both of the annoyances. The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller. This results in two annoyances: - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number check. - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the name. So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling conventions. Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence number check in the caller instead. There's only one caller, and that caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent anyway, so just do that. That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode argument just a regular input inode pointer. The caller can just load the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked up. And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is what all the callers really wanted. Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but that's actually very simple. And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the careful unaligned zero-padding. The dentry name is always properly aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc). Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons: that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable inode pointer and path component length/start arguments. Doing an extra sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Allow sharing external names after __d_move() * external dentry names get a small structure prepended to them (struct external_name). * it contains an atomic refcount, matching the number of struct dentry instances that have ->d_name.name pointing to that external name. The first thing free_dentry() does is decrementing refcount of external name, so the instances that are between the call of free_dentry() and RCU-delayed actual freeing do not contribute. * __d_move(x, y, false) makes the name of x equal to the name of y, external or not. If y has an external name, extra reference is grabbed and put into x->d_name.name. If x used to have an external name, the reference to the old name is dropped and, should it reach zero, freeing is scheduled via kfree_rcu(). * free_dentry() in dentry with external name decrements the refcount of that name and, should it reach zero, does RCU-delayed call that will free both the dentry and external name. Otherwise it does what it used to do, except that __d_free() doesn't even look at ->d_name.name; it simply frees the dentry. All non-RCU accesses to dentry external name are safe wrt freeing since they all should happen before free_dentry() is called. RCU accesses might run into a dentry seen by free_dentry() or into an old name that got already dropped by __d_move(); however, in both cases dentry must have been alive and refer to that name at some point after we'd done rcu_read_lock(), which means that any freeing must be still pending.

It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware.

list_lru: add helpers to isolate items Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns.

fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries [Summary] Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem. Previously I posted here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590 [Descriptions] - background dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced. dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory. - the problem When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks. IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan 500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused dentries on other superblocks. In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS mounting took 1 min on some system in use. * : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by this problem. 100,000,000 is possible number on large systems. Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in reasonable manner. - How to fix I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2). 1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318 2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of dentries to scan on this sb based on following way number of dentries to scan on this sb = count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine) - ToDo - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests. - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone away.

vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

dcache: use IS_ROOT to decide where dentry is hashed Every hashed dentry is either hashed in the dentry_hashtable, or a superblock's s_anon list. __d_drop() assumes it can determine which is the case by checking DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; this is not true. It is true that when DCACHE_DISCONNECTED is cleared, the dentry is not only hashed on dentry_hashtable, but is fully connected to its parents back to the root. But the converse is *not* true: fs/exportfs/expfs.c:reconnect_path() attempts to connect a directory (found by filehandle lookup) back to root by ascending to parents and performing lookups one at a time. It does not clear DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until it's done, and that is not at all an atomic process. In particular, it is possible for DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to be set on a dentry which is hashed on the dentry_hashtable. Instead, use IS_ROOT() to check which hash chain a dentry is on. This *does* work: Dentries are hashed only by: - d_obtain_alias, which adds an IS_ROOT() dentry to sb_anon. - __d_rehash, called by _d_rehash: hashes to the dentry's parent, and all callers of _d_rehash appear to have d_parent set to a "real" parent. - __d_rehash, called by __d_move: rehashes the moved dentry to hash chain determined by target, and assigns target's d_parent to its d_parent, before dropping the dentry's d_lock. Therefore I believe it's safe for a holder of a dentry's d_lock to assume that it is hashed on sb_anon if and only if IS_ROOT(dentry) is true. I believe the incorrect assumption about DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was originally introduced by ceb5bdc2d246 "fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash locking". Also add a comment while we're here.

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

vfs: use lockred "dead" flag to mark unrecoverably dead dentries This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular. I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput() "might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging. However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting case. In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice. Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit 15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug. But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated "lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be safe), let's make forward progress.

shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

fix quadratic behavior of shrink_dcache_parent() The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000. These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem. However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate() will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long time. This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826 The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing it one at a time. Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper function d_kill(). shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm.

[PATCH] knfsd: close a race-opportunity in d_splice_alias There is a possible race in d_splice_alias. Though __d_find_alias(inode, 1) will only return a dentry with DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set, it is possible for it to get cleared before the BUG_ON, and it is is not possible to lock against that. There are a couple of problems here. Firstly, the code doesn't match the comment. The comment describes a 'disconnected' dentry as being IS_ROOT as well as DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, however there is not testing of IS_ROOT anythere. A dentry is marked DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when allocated with d_alloc_anon, and remains DCACHE_DISCONNECTED while a path is built up towards the root. So a dentry can have a valid name and a valid parent and even grandparent, but will still be DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until a path to the root is created. Once the path to the root is complete, everything in the path gets DCACHE_DISCONNECTED cleared. So the fact that DCACHE_DISCONNECTED isn't enough to say that a dentry is free to be spliced in with a given name. This can only be allowed if the dentry does not yet have a name, so the IS_ROOT test is needed too. However even adding that test to __d_find_alias isn't enough. As d_splice_alias drops dcache_lock before calling d_move to perform the splice, it could race with another thread calling d_splice_alias to splice the inode in with a different name in a different part of the tree (in the case where a file has hard links). So that splicing code is only really safe for directories (as we know that directories only have one link). For directories, the caller of d_splice_alias will be holding i_mutex on the (unique) parent so there is no room for a race. A consequence of this is that a non-directory will never benefit from being spliced into a pre-exisiting dentry, but that isn't a problem. It is perfectly OK for a non-directory to have multiple dentries, some anonymous, some not. And the comment for d_splice_alias says that it only happens for directories anyway.

So a dentry can have a valid name and a valid parent and even grandparent, but will still be DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until a path to the root is created. Once the path to the root is complete, everything in the path gets DCACHE_DISCONNECTED cleared. So the fact that DCACHE_DISCONNECTED isn't enough to say that a dentry is free to be spliced in with a given name. This can only be allowed if the dentry does not yet have a name, so the IS_ROOT test is needed too. However even adding that test to __d_find_alias isn't enough. As d_splice_alias drops dcache_lock before calling d_move to perform the splice, it could race with another thread calling d_splice_alias to splice the inode in with a different name in a different part of the tree (in the case where a file has hard links). So that splicing code is only really safe for directories (as we know that directories only have one link). For directories, the caller of d_splice_alias will be holding i_mutex on the (unique) parent so there is no room for a race. A consequence of this is that a non-directory will never benefit from being spliced into a pre-exisiting dentry, but that isn't a problem. It is perfectly OK for a non-directory to have multiple dentries, some anonymous, some not. And the comment for d_splice_alias says that it only happens for directories anyway.

fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries [Summary] Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem. Previously I posted here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590 [Descriptions] - background dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced. dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory. - the problem When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks. IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan 500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused dentries on other superblocks. In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS mounting took 1 min on some system in use. * : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by this problem. 100,000,000 is possible number on large systems. Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in reasonable manner. - How to fix I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2). 1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318 2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of dentries to scan on this sb based on following way number of dentries to scan on this sb = count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine) - ToDo - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests. - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think this happens very rarely. - Test Results Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of these is shrink_dentry_list(). Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point. This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation.

If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say, per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru list/dispose list abuse to work. To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can change the LRU implementation freely in future. This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are actually on the dispose list.

shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use trylock on the parent's one. d_walk() takes them in the right order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop() keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's waiting for. Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock the dentry itself and take locks in the right order. We need to stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable using RCU. And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc. would need to be redone anyway. That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the shrink list itself. Another one (dropping their parents) is in the next commit. locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(), lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check if the parent is still the right one. Except that we need to check that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock out of order. Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking D1->d_lock is enough. In other words, the right solution is rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of these is shrink_dentry_list(). Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point. This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say, per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru list/dispose list abuse to work. To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can change the LRU implementation freely in future. This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are actually on the dispose list.

fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries [Summary] Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem. Previously I posted here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590 [Descriptions] - background dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced. dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory. - the problem When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks. IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan 500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused dentries on other superblocks. In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS mounting took 1 min on some system in use. * : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by this problem. 100,000,000 is possible number on large systems. Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in reasonable manner. - How to fix I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2). 1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318 2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of dentries to scan on this sb based on following way number of dentries to scan on this sb = count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine) - ToDo - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests. - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think this happens very rarely. - Test Results Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

list_lru: add helpers to isolate items Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one.

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.

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.

list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} 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.

fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries [Summary] Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem. Previously I posted here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590 [Descriptions] - background dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced. dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory. - the problem When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks. IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan 500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused dentries on other superblocks. In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS mounting took 1 min on some system in use. * : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by this problem. 100,000,000 is possible number on large systems. Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in reasonable manner. - How to fix I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2). 1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318 2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of dentries to scan on this sb based on following way number of dentries to scan on this sb = count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine) - ToDo - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests. - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think this happens very rarely. - Test Results Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all. The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with only one user (the dentry code). At first, such function appears to make sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway. However, it's implementation is buggy in the following way: When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. However, this is done without the nlru->lock taken. The imediate result of that is that someone else may add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time. When list_lru_del happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is. Since list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance. The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock). To properly solve this, we need a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can coordinate this with each other. Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb callback. So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no more dentries are available. With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

list_lru: add helpers to isolate items Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one. This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if checked under the appropriate lock.

dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of these is shrink_dentry_list(). Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point. This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say, per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru list/dispose list abuse to work. To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can change the LRU implementation freely in future. This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are actually on the dispose list. This would result in accounting the dentry to the LRU a second time.

list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all. The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with only one user (the dentry code). At first, such function appears to make sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway. However, it's implementation is buggy in the following way: When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. However, this is done without the nlru->lock taken. The imediate result of that is that someone else may add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time. When list_lru_del happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is. Since list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance. The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock). To properly solve this, we need a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can coordinate this with each other. Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb callback. So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no more dentries are available. With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

list_lru: add helpers to isolate items Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one. This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if checked under the appropriate lock.

return LRU_REMOVED;
fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries [Summary] Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem. Previously I posted here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590 [Descriptions] - background dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced. dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory. - the problem When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks. IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan 500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused dentries on other superblocks. In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS mounting took 1 min on some system in use. * : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by this problem. 100,000,000 is possible number on large systems. Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in reasonable manner. - How to fix I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2). 1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318 2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of dentries to scan on this sb based on following way number of dentries to scan on this sb = count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine) - ToDo - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests. - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think this happens very rarely. - Test Results Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

mnt: Protect the mountpoint hashtable with mount_lock Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire. At which point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on the same hash chain to happen on the same time. Kristen Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> reported: > This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint > attempt to free the same mountpoint. This occurs because some callers > hold the mount_hash_lock, while others hold the namespace lock. Some > even hold both. > > In this submitter's case, the panic manifested itself as a GP fault in > put_mountpoint() when it called hlist_del() and attempted to dereference > a m_hash.pprev that had been poisioned by another thread. Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table. I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root (instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table lookup and addition under the mount_lock. The introduction of get_mounptoint ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint hashtable. d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not already set. This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry happens exactly once.

fs/dcache.c: add cond_resched() to shrink_dcache_parent() Call cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent() to maintain interactivity. Before this patch: void shrink_dcache_parent(struct dentry * parent) { while ((found = select_parent(parent, &dispose)) != 0) shrink_dentry_list(&dispose); } select_parent() populates the dispose list with dentries which shrink_dentry_list() then deletes. select_parent() carefully uses need_resched() to avoid doing too much work at once. But neither shrink_dcache_parent() nor its called functions call cond_resched(). So once need_resched() is set select_parent() will return single dentry dispose list which is then deleted by shrink_dentry_list(). This is inefficient when there are a lot of dentry to process. This can cause softlockup and hurts interactivity on non preemptable kernels. This change adds cond_resched() in shrink_dcache_parent(). The benefit of this is that need_resched() is quickly cleared so that future calls to select_parent() are able to efficiently return a big batch of dentry. These additional cond_resched() do not seem to impact performance, at least for the workload below. Here is a program which can cause soft lockup if other system activity sets need_resched(). int main() { struct rlimit rlim; int i; int f[100000]; char buf[20]; struct timeval t1, t2; double diff; /* cleanup past run */ system("rm -rf x"); /* boost nfile rlimit */ rlim.rlim_cur = 200000; rlim.rlim_max = 200000; if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlim)) err(1, "setrlimit"); /* make directory for files */ if (mkdir("x", 0700)) err(1, "mkdir"); if (gettimeofday(&t1, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); /* populate directory with open files */ for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "x/%d", i); f[i] = open(buf, O_CREAT); if (f[i] == -1) err(1, "open"); } /* close some of the files */ for (i = 0; i < 85000; i++) close(f[i]); /* unlink all files, even open ones */ system("rm -rf x"); if (gettimeofday(&t2, NULL)) err(1, "gettimeofday"); diff = (((double)t2.tv_sec * 1000000 + t2.tv_usec) - ((double)t1.tv_sec * 1000000 + t1.tv_usec)); printf("done: %g elapsed\n", diff/1e6); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vfs: Lazily remove mounts on unlinked files and directories. With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount points but are not mount points on other paths. It is very confusing when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted somewhere else. With the addition of user namespaces allowing unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing a DOS attack on other users in the system. The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries. In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a mount in some namespace on the original dentry. There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root (i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu, cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local). Mounts on unprivileged directories maintained by fusermount. In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context where the there are no mount points to prevent this. In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a danger. fusermount already uses a combination of chdir, /proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races. The removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the directory simultaneously. In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local namespace is actually unnecessary. Unfortunately not all userspace programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit. v2: Remove spurious old_dentry. v3: Optimized shrink_submounts_and_drop Removed unsued afs label v4: Simplified the changes to check_submounts_and_drop Do not rename check_submounts_and_drop shrink_submounts_and_drop Document what why we need atomicity in check_submounts_and_drop Rely on the parent inode mutex to make d_revalidate and d_invalidate an atomic unit. v5: Refcount the mountpoint to detach in case of simultaneous renames.

vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile and non-obvious. In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer). The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries"). That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case, because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed' and wouldn't be free'd correctly. That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead. So turn all of it around, and make it logical. Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()", and everything makes sense. And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit. If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free time makes sense too. And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use common code for the unhashing. Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in the previous chain locking cleanup commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

fs: use fast counters for vfs caches percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a simple per cpu set of counters is much better. The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so code will always be worse. In the fastpath, it is the difference between this: incl %gs:nr_dentry # nr_dentry and this: movl percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx # percpu_counter_batch, movl $1, %esi #, movq $nr_dentry, %rdi #, call __percpu_counter_add # (plus I clobber registers) __percpu_counter_add: pushq %rbp # movq %rsp, %rbp #, subq $32, %rsp #, movq %rbx, -24(%rbp) #, movq %r12, -16(%rbp) #, movq %r13, -8(%rbp) #, movq %rdi, %rbx # fbc, fbc #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP incl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq 32(%rdi), %r12 # <variable>.counters, tcp_ptr__ #APP # 78 "lib/percpu_counter.c" 1 add %gs:this_cpu_off, %r12 # this_cpu_off, tcp_ptr__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP movslq (%r12),%r13 #* tcp_ptr__, tmp73 movslq %edx,%rax # batch, batch addq %rsi, %r13 # amount, count cmpq %rax, %r13 # batch, count jge .L27 #, negl %edx # tmp76 movslq %edx,%rdx # tmp76, tmp77 cmpq %rdx, %r13 # tmp77, count jg .L28 #, .L27: movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, call _raw_spin_lock # addq %r13, 8(%rbx) # count, <variable>.count movq %rbx, %rdi # fbc, movl $0, (%r12) #,* tcp_ptr__ call _raw_spin_unlock # .L29: #APP # 216 "/home/npiggin/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h" 1 movq %gs:kernel_stack,%rax #, pfo_ret__ # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP decl -8124(%rax) # <variable>.preempt_count movq -8136(%rax), %rax #, D.14625 testb $8, %al #, D.14625 jne .L32 #, .L31: movq -24(%rbp), %rbx #, movq -16(%rbp), %r12 #, movq -8(%rbp), %r13 #, leave ret .p2align 4,,10 .p2align 3 .L28: movl %r13d, (%r12) # count,* jmp .L29 # .L32: call preempt_schedule # .p2align 4,,6 jmp .L31 # .size __percpu_counter_add, .-__percpu_counter_add .p2align 4,,15 Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it). Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/ ... lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ...

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107 (which is correct). The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device 25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

beginning of transition to parallel lookups - marking in-lookup dentries marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when * __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not. * __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via __d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place * in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the above. Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput() or d_instantiate() while still marked such. As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is set, dentry will * remain negative unhashed with positive refcount * never have its ->d_alias looked at * never have its ->d_lru looked at * never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory. With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to * only exist when parent is locked shared * at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of names is according to ->d_compare()) * only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same (parent,name) Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series. The reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review. New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it should cease to be such).

This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a compound with a putfh and a close, processed like: - putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and returns that instead. - close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED. - end of the compound: release the reference to the current filehandle, and dput() the new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the unused list instead of being destroyed immediately. Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it create a new dentry. Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other callers. Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry, hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

The dentry name is always properly aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc). Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons: that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable inode pointer and path component length/start arguments.

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware.

Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but that's actually very simple. And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the careful unaligned zero-padding. The dentry name is always properly aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc). Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons: that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable inode pointer and path component length/start arguments. Doing an extra sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.

The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller. This results in two annoyances: - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number check. - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the name. So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling conventions. Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence number check in the caller instead. There's only one caller, and that caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent anyway, so just do that. That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode argument just a regular input inode pointer.

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces The calling conventions for __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() are annoying in different ways, and there is actually one single underlying reason for both of the annoyances. The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller. This results in two annoyances: - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number check. - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the name. So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling conventions. Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence number check in the caller instead. There's only one caller, and that caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent anyway, so just do that. That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode argument just a regular input inode pointer. The caller can just load the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked up. And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is what all the callers really wanted. Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but that's actually very simple. And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the careful unaligned zero-padding. The dentry name is always properly aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc). Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons: that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable inode pointer and path component length/start arguments.

The filesystem is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent or other function. And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down, rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is still hashed at all. And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible on some lists - and to d_compare. If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details, just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only call d_compare on dentries that are still active. The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)' to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer, and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something like BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0 IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50 and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and ppc64 (Hugh Dickins).

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

parallel lookups machinery, part 2 We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set. One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly. So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story. We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but... Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even. This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be added in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

parallel lookups machinery, part 3 We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup dentry with matching parent/name. Right now it's impossible, but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts will appear. Add a secondary hash for locating those. Hash chains go through the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore. Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications - with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are buggered once it's removed from the chain. On the other hand, the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up adding to the chain anyway. That allows us to avoid bothering with ->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until removed from chain. New helper: d_alloc_parallel(). Right now it allocates, verifies that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup hash. Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's been found) or new dentry. In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting for ongoing lookup to finish. Note that in-lookup matches won't be possible until we actually go for shared locking. lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel(). Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to review.

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Otherwise it does what it used to do, except that __d_free() doesn't even look at ->d_name.name; it simply frees the dentry. All non-RCU accesses to dentry external name are safe wrt freeing since they all should happen before free_dentry() is called.

* When switching names, the actual string doesn't strictly have to
* be preserved in the target - because we're dropping the target
* anyway. As such, we can just do a simple memcpy() to copy over
vfs: Don't exchange "short" filenames unconditionally. Only exchange source and destination filenames if flags contain RENAME_EXCHANGE. In case if executable file was running and replaced by other file /proc/PID/exe should still show correct file name, not the old name of the file by which it was replaced. The scenario when this bug manifests itself was like this: * ALT Linux uses rpm and start-stop-daemon; * during a package upgrade rpm creates a temporary file for an executable to rename it upon successful unpacking; * start-stop-daemon is run subsequently and it obtains the (nonexistant) temporary filename via /proc/PID/exe thus failing to identify the running process. Note that "long" filenames (> DNAiME_INLINE_LEN) are still exchanged without RENAME_EXCHANGE and this behaviour exists long enough (should be fixed too apparently). So this patch is just an interim workaround that restores behavior for "short" names as it was before changes introduced by commit da1ce0670c14 ("vfs: add cross-rename"). See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/7/6 for details. AV: the comments about being more careful with ->d_name.hash than with ->d_name.name are from back in 2.3.40s; they became obsolete by 2.3.60s, when we started to unhash the target instead of swapping hash chain positions followed by d_delete() as we used to do when dcache was first introduced.

So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story.

fs: rcu-walk for path lookup Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk. This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element, significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability. The overall design is like this: * LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk. * Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

So now dentry refcounts are not required for dentry persistence. * synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk. * Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and down the path. * Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode, so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its members have changed. * Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent during the path walk. * inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for limited things. * i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk. * i_op can be loaded. When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence, and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk. Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root). The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are: * NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element) * parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs * dentries with d_revalidate * Following links In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware. Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

parallel lookups machinery, part 2 We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set. One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly. So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story. We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but... Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even. This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be added in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

dcache: return -ESTALE not -EBUSY on distributed fs race On a distributed filesystem it's possible for lookup to discover that a directory it just found is already cached elsewhere in the directory heirarchy. The dcache won't let us keep the directory in both places, so we have to move the dentry to the new location from the place we previously had it cached. If the parent has changed, then this requires all the same locks as we'd need to do a cross-directory rename. But we're already in lookup holding one parent's i_mutex, so it's too late to acquire those locks in the right order. The (unreliable) solution in __d_unalias is to trylock() the required locks and return -EBUSY if it fails. I see no particular reason for returning -EBUSY, and -ESTALE is already the result of some other lookup races on NFS. I think -ESTALE is the more helpful error return. It also allows us to take advantage of the logic Jeff Layton added in c6a9428401c0 "vfs: fix renameat to retry on ESTALE errors" and ancestors, which hopefully resolves some of these errors before they're returned to userspace. I can reproduce these cases using NFS with: ssh root@$client ' mount -olookupcache=pos '$server':'$export' /mnt/ mkdir /mnt/TO mkdir /mnt/DIR touch /mnt/DIR/test.txt while true; do strace -e open cat /mnt/DIR/test.txt 2>&1 | grep EBUSY done ' ssh root@$server ' while true; do mv $export/DIR $export/TO/DIR mv $export/TO/DIR $export/DIR done ' It also helps to add some other concurrent use of the directory on the client (e.g., "ls /mnt/TO"). And you can replace the server-side mv's by client-side mv's that are repeatedly killed. (If the client is interrupted while waiting for the RENAME response then it's left with a dentry that has to go under one parent or the other, but it doesn't yet know which.)

vfs: Lazily remove mounts on unlinked files and directories. With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount points but are not mount points on other paths. It is very confusing when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted somewhere else. With the addition of user namespaces allowing unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing a DOS attack on other users in the system. The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries. In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a mount in some namespace on the original dentry. There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root (i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu, cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local). Mounts on unprivileged directories maintained by fusermount. In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context where the there are no mount points to prevent this. In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a danger. fusermount already uses a combination of chdir, /proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races. The removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the directory simultaneously. In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local namespace is actually unnecessary. Unfortunately not all userspace programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit. v2: Remove spurious old_dentry. v3: Optimized shrink_submounts_and_drop Removed unsued afs label v4: Simplified the changes to check_submounts_and_drop Do not rename check_submounts_and_drop shrink_submounts_and_drop Document what why we need atomicity in check_submounts_and_drop Rely on the parent inode mutex to make d_revalidate and d_invalidate an atomic unit. v5: Refcount the mountpoint to detach in case of simultaneous renames.

dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length.

* prepend_path - Prepend path string to a buffer
* @path: the dentry/vfsmount to report
fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() API __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place. * if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(), BTW. * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway - the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped ignoring the return value as it used to do).

* @root: root vfsmnt/dentry
* @buffer: pointer to the end of the buffer
* @buflen: pointer to buffer length
*
* The function will first try to write out the pathname without taking any
* lock other than the RCU read lock to make sure that dentries won't go away.
* It only checks the sequence number of the global rename_lock as any change
* in the dentry's d_seq will be preceded by changes in the rename_lock
* sequence number. If the sequence number had been changed, it will restart
* the whole pathname back-tracing sequence again by taking the rename_lock.
* In this case, there is no need to take the RCU read lock as the recursive
* parent pointer references will keep the dentry chain alive as long as no
* rename operation is performed.

dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

RCU'd vfsmounts * RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts * vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock) * sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and used when we exit RCU mode * new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT. Set by umount_tree() when its caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references. * synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock() and doing pending mntput(). * new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq). Checks the mount_lock sequence number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu() makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing the final mntput() from anything that would care. * mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally, SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there. * normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock. It does, of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() API __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place. * if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(), BTW. * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway - the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped ignoring the return value as it used to do).

fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() API __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount.

dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

drm: add pseudo filesystem for shared inodes Our current DRM design uses a single address_space for all users of the same DRM device. However, there is no way to create an anonymous address_space without an underlying inode. Therefore, we wait for the first ->open() callback on a registered char-dev and take-over the inode of the char-dev. This worked well so far, but has several drawbacks: - We screw with FS internals and rely on some non-obvious invariants like inode->i_mapping being the same as inode->i_data for char-devs. - We don't have any address_space prior to the first ->open() from user-space. This leads to ugly fallback code and we cannot allocate global objects early. As pointed out by Al-Viro, fs/anon_inode.c is *not* supposed to be used by drivers for anonymous inode-allocation. Therefore, this patch follows the proposed alternative solution and adds a pseudo filesystem mount-point to DRM. We can then allocate private inodes including a private address_space for each DRM device at initialization time. Note that we could use: sysfs_get_inode(sysfs_mnt->mnt_sb, drm_device->dev->kobj.sd); to get access to the underlying sysfs-inode of a "struct device" object. However, most of this information is currently hidden and it's not clear whether this address_space is suitable for driver access. Thus, unless linux allows anonymous address_space objects or driver-core provides a public inode per device, we're left with our own private internal mount point.

dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload.

fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() API __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place. * if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(), BTW. * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway - the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped ignoring the return value as it used to do).
