2009-08-12xfs: switch to NOFS allocation under i_lock in xfs_buf_associate_memoryChristoph Hellwig
xfs_buf_associate_memory is used for setting up the spare buffer for the log wrap case in xlog_sync which can happen under i_lock when called from xfs_fsync. The i_lock mutex is taken in reclaim context so all allocations under it must avoid recursions into the filesystem. There are a couple more uses of xfs_buf_associate_memory in the log recovery code that are also affected by this, but I'd rather keep the code simple than passing on a gfp_mask argument. Longer term we should just stop requiring the memoery allocation in xlog_sync by some smaller rework of the buffer layer. Reported by the new reclaim context tracing in lockdep.

2009-08-10ocfs2: Fix possible deadlock when extending quota fileJan Kara
In OCFS2, allocator locks rank above transaction start. Thus we cannot extend quota file from inside a transaction less we could deadlock. We solve the problem by starting transaction not already in ocfs2_acquire_dquot() but only in ocfs2_local_read_dquot() and ocfs2_global_read_dquot() and we allocate blocks to quota files before starting the transaction. In case we crash, quota files will just have a few blocks more but that's no problem since we just use them next time we extend the quota file.

2009-08-10NFS: read-modify-write page updatingPeter Staubach
Hi. I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue. I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages. The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The page is not marked as up to date because there are portions of the page which do not contain valid file contents. When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the contents of the page must be read in the from the server. However, since the page may already contain some modified data, that modified data must be written to the server before the file contents can be read back in the from server. And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically, the data must be written and committed to stable storage on the server for safety purposes. This means either a FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT. This has been discussed at length previously. This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It is most efficient when the application only updates pages and does not read them. My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read- modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to read from, and the size of the region to read. If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing and the page would not be filled completely with data from the user level, then read in the old contents of the page and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If the page would be completely filled with data from the user level, then there would be no reason to read in the old contents because they would just be copied over. This would optimize for applications which randomly access and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the C compiler is an example of such a thing. I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were generated. I suspect that many of these additional WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE a single page, but I didn't test this theory. The difference between this patch and the previous one was to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as desired.

Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies the code a little bit. Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should take this lock.

2009-08-09ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation modeTheodore Ts'o
The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all screwed up. These fields were getting unconditionally all the time, set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation. Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found(). This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using (or not using) the stream allocation logic. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-08-09SUNRPC: Provide functions for managing universal addressesChuck Lever
Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for converting between a socket address and either a standard presentation address string or an RPC universal address. The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP addresses. The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

2009-08-09NFS: Use the authentication flavor list returned by mountdChuck Lever
Commit a14017db added support in the kernel's NFS mount client to decode the authentication flavor list returned by mountd. The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported by the server. Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was specified by the user. Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if the server does not support it. This prevents us from negotiating an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first). If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

2009-08-09NFS: Fix auth flavor len accountingChuck Lever
Previous logic in the NFS mount parsing code path assumed auth_flavor_len was set to zero for simple authentication flavors (like AUTH_UNIX), and 1 for compound flavors (like AUTH_GSS). At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount point's authentication flavor. Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors. Let's eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array. (auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec= mount option. For now it remains a single element array).

2009-08-09NFS: Add ability to send MOUNTPROC_UMNT to the kernel's mountd clientChuck Lever
After certain failure modes of an NFS mount, an NFS client should send a MOUNTPROC_UMNT request to remove the just-added mount entry from the server's mount table. While no-one should rely on the accuracy of the server's mount table, sending a UMNT is simply being a good internet neighbor. Since NFS mount processing is handled in the kernel now, we will need a function in the kernel's mountd client that can post a MOUNTRPC_UMNT request, in order to handle these failure modes.
