2008-09-17[XFS] Don't do I/O beyond eof when unreserving spaceLachlan McIlroy
When unreserving space with boundaries that are not block aligned we round up the start and round down the end boundaries and then use this function, xfs_zero_remaining_bytes(), to zero the parts of the blocks that got dropped during the rounding. The problem is we don't consider if these blocks are beyond eof. Worse still is if we encounter delayed allocations beyond eof we will try to use the magic delayed allocation block number as a real block number. If the file size is ever extended to expose these blocks then we'll go through xfs_zero_eof() to zero them anyway.

2008-09-17[XFS] Fix use-after-free with buffersLachlan McIlroy
We have a use-after-free issue where log completions access buffers via the buffer log item and the buffer has already been freed. Fix this by taking a reference on the buffer when attaching the buffer log item and release the hold when the buffer log item is detached and we no longer need the buffer. Also create a new function xfs_buf_item_free() to combine some common code.

2008-09-17[XFS] Prevent lockdep false positives when locking two inodes.David Chinner
If we call xfs_lock_two_inodes() to grab both the iolock and the ilock, then drop the ilocks on both inodes, then grab them again (as xfs_swap_extents() does) then lockdep will report a locking order problem. This is a false positive. To avoid this, disallow xfs_lock_two_inodes() fom locking both inode locks at once - force calers to make two separate calls. This means that nested dropping and regaining of the ilocks will retain the same lockdep subclass and so lockdep will not see anything wrong with this code.

2008-09-17[XFS] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eofLachlan McIlroy
With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for eof and then abort. This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent - so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that way.

2008-09-17[XFS] Fix regression introduced by remount fixupChristoph Hellwig
Logically we would return an error in xfs_fs_remount code to prevent users from believing they might have changed mount options using remount which can't be changed. But unfortunately mount(8) adds all options from mtab and fstab to the mount arguments in some cases so we can't blindly reject options, but have to check for each specified option if it actually differs from the currently set option and only reject it if that's the case. Until that is implemented we return success for every remount request, and silently ignore all options that we can't actually change.

2008-09-17[XFS] Move memory allocations for log tracing out of the critical pathLachlan McIlroy
Memory allocations for log->l_grant_trace and iclog->ic_trace are done on demand when the first event is logged. In xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we call xlog_trace_iclog() under a spinlock and allocating memory here can cause us to sleep with a spinlock held and deadlock the system. For the log grant tracing we use KM_NOSLEEP but that means we can lose trace entries. Since there is no locking to serialize the log grant tracing we could race and have multiple allocations and leak memory. So move the allocations to where we initialize the log/iclog structures. Use KM_NOFS to avoid recursing into the filesystem and drop log->l_trace since it's not even used.

2008-09-14timers: fix itimer/many thread hangFrank Mayhar
Overview This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code. The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse. Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at which point things degrade rather quickly. This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF." Code Changes This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single- or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function uses those fields to make its decisions. We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and scheduler times and use these in appropriate places: struct task_cputime { cputime_t utime; cputime_t stime; unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime; }; This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer: struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime totals; }; struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime *totals; }; We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr(). We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init() function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task. The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free() function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields; in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and, if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure. Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further. The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal(). It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from cleanup_signal(). All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated. Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting. With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest expiration; this is checked in the fast path. Performance The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those two cases. I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system. Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system, all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many voluntary context switches with the fix as without it. Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023 seconds per tick). Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel. With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus 5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel. Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits. Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results were essentially the same with no itimer running. Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds (where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running, the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise, performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases. In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below. On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720 for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of 0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this test computed the primes up to 25,000,000. I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at 1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of 629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

2008-09-08NFS: Restore missing hunk in NFS mount option parserChuck Lever
Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS implementations but not for Linux. The Linux automounter uses the mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that mount requests containing such options are not rejected. Commit f45663ce5fb30f76a3414ab3ac69f4dd320e760a attempted to address a known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing. Unrecognized mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s" option was used on the mount command line. Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted. It adds a new mount option, "sloppy". But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option is not present. This could be a problem if a required critical mount option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a regression from 2.6.26. This patch restores the missing hunk. Now, the default behavior of text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option will cause the mount to fail. Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.

This means no one can seek beyond 2 Gigabytes on udf, and that there's not protection vs the i_size updates from writers.

2008-09-16jbd2: clean up how the journal device name is printedTheodore Ts'o
Calculate the journal device name once and stash it away in the journal_s structure. This avoids needing to call bdevname() everywhere and reduces stack usage by not needing to allocate an on-stack buffer. In addition, we eliminate the '/' that can appear in device names (e.g. "cciss/c0d0p9" --- see kernel bugzilla #11321) that can cause problems when creating proc directory names, and include the inode number to support ocfs2 which creates multiple journals with different inode numbers.

2008-09-14ext4: fix #11321: create /proc/ext4/*/stats more carefullyAlexey Dobriyan
ext4 creates per-suberblock directory in /proc/ext4/ . Name used as basis is taken from bdevname, which, surprise, can contain slash. However, proc while allowing to use proc_create("a/b", parent) form of PDE creation, assumes that parent/a was already created. bdevname in question is 'cciss/c0d0p9', directory is not created and all this stuff goes directly into /proc (which is real bug). Warning comes when _second_ partition is mounted. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11321 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-10-09ext4: Avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruptionEric Sandeen
Note: some people thinks this represents a security bug, since it might make the system go away while it is printing a large number of console messages, especially if a serial console is involved. Hence, it has been assigned CVE-2008-3528, but it requires that the attacker either has physical access to your machine to insert a USB disk with a corrupted filesystem image (at which point why not just hit the power button), or is otherwise able to convince the system administrator to mount an arbitrary filesystem image (at which point why not just include a setuid shell or world-writable hard disk device file or some such).

2008-09-13ext4: Properly update i_disksize.Aneesh Kumar K.V
With delayed allocation we use i_data_sem to update i_disksize. We need to update i_disksize only if the new size specified is greater than the current value and we need to make sure we don't race with other i_disksize update. With delayed allocation we will switch to the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation if we are low on free blocks. This means the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation also needs to use the same locking. We also need to check and update i_disksize even if the new size is less that inode.i_size because of delayed allocation.

2008-09-13ext4: truncate block allocated on a failed ext4_write_beginAneesh Kumar K.V
For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocated in block_write_begin() if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks. block_write_begin() internally does this if it allocated pages locally. This makes sure we don't have blocks outside inode.i_size during ENOSPC. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-09-08ext4: Retry block allocation if we have free blocks leftAneesh Kumar K.V
When we truncate files, the meta-data blocks released are not reused untill we commit the truncate transaction.

2008-09-08ext4: Fix ext4 nomballoc allocator for ENOSPCAneesh Kumar K.V
We run into ENOSPC error on nonmballoc ext4, even when there is free blocks on the filesystem. The patch includes two changes: a) Set reservation to NULL if we trying to allocate near group_target_block from the goal group if the free block in the group is less than windows. This should give us a better chance to allocate near group_target_block. This also ensures that if we are not allocating near group_target_block then we don't trun off reservation. This should enable us to allocate with reservation from other groups that have large free blocks count. b) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off.

2008-10-08ext4: Switch to non delalloc mode when we are low on free blocks count.Aneesh Kumar K.V
The delayed allocation code allocates blocks during writepages(), which can not handle block allocation failures. To deal with this, we switch away from delayed allocation mode when we are running low on free blocks. This also allows us to avoid needing to reserve a large number of meta-data blocks in case all of the requested blocks are discontiguous.

2008-09-08ext4: Retry block reservationAneesh Kumar K.V
During block reservation if we don't have enough blocks left, retry block reservation with smaller block counts. This makes sure we try fallocate and DIO with smaller request size and don't fail early. The delayed allocation reservation cannot try with smaller block count. So retry block reservation to handle temporary disk full conditions. Also print free blocks details if we fail block allocation during writepages.

2008-10-09ext4: Make sure all the block allocation paths reserve blocksAneesh Kumar K.V
With delayed allocation we need to make sure block are reserved before we attempt to allocate them. Otherwise we get block allocation failure (ENOSPC) during writepages which cannot be handled. This would mean silent data loss (We do a printk stating data will be lost). This patch updates the DIO and fallocate code path to do block reservation before block allocation. This is needed to make sure parallel DIO and fallocate request doesn't take block out of delayed reserve space. When free blocks count go below a threshold we switch to a slow patch which looks at other CPU's accumulated percpu counter values.

2008-09-07hrtimer: fix signed/unsigned bug in slack estimatorArjan van de Ven
the slack estimator used unsigned math; however for very short delay it's possible that by the time you calculate the timeout, it's already passed and you get a negative time/slack... in an unsigned variable... which then gets turned into a 100 msec delay rather than zero.

With lots of help, input and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner This patch switches select() and poll() over to hrtimers. The core of the patch is replacing the "s64 timeout" with a "struct timespec end_time" in all the plumbing. But most of the diffstat comes from using the just introduced helpers: poll_select_set_timeout poll_select_copy_remaining timespec_add_safe which make manipulating the timespec easier and less error-prone.

This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll: poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time. This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various, common, sanity checks. poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).
