2016-10-07vfs: Add IOP_XATTR inode operations flagAndreas Gruenbacher
The IOP_XATTR inode operations flag in inode->i_opflags indicates that the inode has xattr support. The flag is automatically set by new_inode() on filesystems with xattr support (where sb->s_xattr is defined), and cleared otherwise. Filesystems can explicitly clear it for inodes that should not have xattr support. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2016-09-27fs: Replace current_fs_time() with current_time()Deepa Dinamani
current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument. As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps. Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion. Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be deleted.

2016-09-27vfs: Add current_time() apiDeepa Dinamani
current_fs_time() is used for inode timestamps. Change the signature of the function to take inode pointer instead of superblock as per Linus's suggestion. Also, move the api under vfs as per the discussion on the thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/9/36 . As per Arnd's suggestion on the thread, changing the function name. current_fs_time() will be deleted after all the references to it are replaced by current_time(). There was a bug reported by kbuild test bot with the change as some of the calls to current_time() were made before the super_block was initialized. Catch these accidental assignments as timespec_trunc() does for wrong granularities. This allows for the function to work right even in these circumstances. But, adds a warning to make the user aware of the bug. A coccinelle script was used to identify all the current .alloc_inode super_block callbacks that updated inode timestamps. proc filesystem was the only one that was modifying inode times as part of this callback. The series includes a patch to fix that. Note that timespec_trunc() will also be moved to fs/inode.c in a separate patch when this will need to be revamped for bounds checking purposes.

2016-09-16vfs: update ovl inode before relatime checkMiklos Szeredi
On overlayfs relatime_need_update() needs inode times to be correct on overlay inode. But i_mtime and i_ctime are updated by filesystem code on underlying inode only, so they will be out-of-date on the overlay inode. This patch copies the times from the underlying inode if needed. This can't be done if called from RCU lookup (link following) but link m/ctime are not updated by fs, so this is all right. This patch doesn't change functionality for anything but overlayfs.

2016-08-02radix-tree: account nodes to memcg only if explicitly requestedVladimir Davydov
Radix trees may be used not only for storing page cache pages, so unconditionally accounting radix tree nodes to the current memory cgroup is bad: if a radix tree node is used for storing data shared among different cgroups we risk pinning dead memory cgroups forever. So let's only account radix tree nodes if it was explicitly requested by passing __GFP_ACCOUNT to INIT_RADIX_TREE. Currently, we only want to account page cache entries, so mark mapping->page_tree so.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman: "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that goal. While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for everyone. At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things: - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block. - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID in vfs data structures. By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the owning user namespace of the filesystem. One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for such inodes (aka only reads are allowed). This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock contains owner information. These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior. - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less privileged user. - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock instead. Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably expecting mount flags to be what they were set to. There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond what is in this set of changes. - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device during mount. - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their security xattrs accordingly. - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to generalize this case). Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist: - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability] - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow the superblock owner to perform them. - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated normally. I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be locked down and handled generically.

2016-07-26fs/fs-writeback.c: add a new writeback list for syncDave Chinner
wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that we don't need to wait on. To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes that the current sync(2) needs to wait for. Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under writeback due to the sync. With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

2016-07-05vfs: Don't modify inodes with a uid or gid unknown to the vfsEric W. Biederman
When a filesystem outside of init_user_ns is mounted it could have uids and gids stored in it that do not map to init_user_ns. The plan is to allow those filesystems to set i_uid to INVALID_UID and i_gid to INVALID_GID for unmapped uids and gids and then to handle that strange case in the vfs to ensure there is consistent robust handling of the weirdness. Upon a careful review of the vfs and filesystems about the only case where there is any possibility of confusion or trouble is when the inode is written back to disk. In that case filesystems typically read the inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid and write them to disk even when just an inode timestamp is being updated. Which leads to a rule that is very simple to implement and understand inodes whose i_uid or i_gid is not valid may not be written. In dealing with access times this means treat those inodes as if the inode flag S_NOATIME was set. Reads of the inodes appear safe and useful, but any write or modification is disallowed. The only inode write that is allowed is a chown that sets the uid and gid on the inode to valid values. After such a chown the inode is normal and may be treated as such. Denying all writes to inodes with uids or gids unknown to the vfs also prevents several oddball cases where corruption would have occurred because the vfs does not have complete information. One problem case that is prevented is attempting to use the gid of a directory for new inodes where the directories sgid bit is set but the directories gid is not mapped. Another problem case avoided is attempting to update the evm hash after setxattr, removexattr, and setattr. As the evm hash includeds the inode->i_uid or inode->i_gid not knowning the uid or gid prevents a correct evm hash from being computed. evm hash verification also fails when i_uid or i_gid is unknown but that is essentially harmless as it does not cause filesystem corruption.

2016-07-03iget_locked et.al.: make sure we don't return bad inodesAl Viro
If one thread does iget_locked(), proceeds to try and set the new inode up and fails, inode will be unhashed and dropped. However, another thread doing ilookup/iget_locked in the middle of that would end up finding a half-set-up inode, grabbing a reference, waiting for it to come unlocked and getting the resulting bad inode. It's a race (if that ilookup had been called just after the failure of setup attempt it wouldn't have found the sucker at all), particularly unpleasant in cases when failure is transient/caller-dependent/etc. While it can be dealt with in the callers, there's no reason not to handle it in fs/inode.c primitives, especially since the cost is trivial.

2016-05-02parallel lookups machinery, part 2Al Viro
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>
2016-03-31posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixesAndreas Gruenbacher
When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem. The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with set_cached_acl(). This is done without locking at the VFS level, so another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL. Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation. Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl inode operations to get_acl(). There, only set the cached ACL if the sentinel value hasn't changed. The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values. Likewise, the value of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd. In contrast, ACL object pointers always have an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory). This allows to distinguish uncached ACLs values from ACL objects. In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg(). Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS from doing so.

2016-01-22dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix treeRoss Zwisler
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries. In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time. There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow) that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for DAX mappings. The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

2015-08-18inode: don't softlockup when evicting inodesJosef Bacik
On a box with a lot of ram (148gb) I can make the box softlockup after running an fs_mark job that creates hundreds of millions of empty files. This is because we never generate enough memory pressure to keep the number of inodes on our unused list low, so when we go to unmount we have to evict ~100 million inodes. This makes one processor a very unhappy person, so add a cond_resched() in dispose_list() and if we need a resched when processing the s_inodes list do that and run dispose_list() on what we've currently culled.

2015-08-17inode: rename i_wb_list to i_io_listDave Chinner
There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this! So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

2015-08-17inode: convert inode_sb_list_lock to per-sbDave Chinner
The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

2015-06-30vfs: avoid creation of inode number 0 in get_next_inoCarlos Maiolino
currently, get_next_ino() is able to create inodes with inode number = 0. This have a bad impact in the filesystems relying in this function to generate inode numbers. While there is no problem at all in having inodes with number 0, userspace tools which handle file management tasks can have problems handling these files, like for example, the impossiblity of users to delete these files, since glibc will ignore them. So, I believe the best way is kernel to avoid creating them. This problem has been raised previously, but the old thread didn't have any other update for a year+, and I've seen too many users hitting the same issue regarding the impossibility to delete files while using filesystems relying on this function. So, I'm starting the thread again, with the same patch that I believe is enough to address this problem.

2015-06-23fs: Call security_ops->inode_killpriv on truncateJan Kara
Comment in include/linux/security.h says that ->inode_killpriv() should be called when setuid bit is being removed and that similar security labels (in fact this applies only to file capabilities) should be removed at this time as well. However we don't call ->inode_killpriv() when we remove suid bit on truncate. We fix the problem by calling ->inode_need_killpriv() and subsequently ->inode_killpriv() on truncate the same way as we do it on file write. After this patch there's only one user of should_remove_suid() - ocfs2 - and indeed it's buggy because it doesn't call ->inode_killpriv() on write.

2015-06-02writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacksTejun Heo
For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

2015-04-24direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systemsJens Axboe
do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection. For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with better latencies too.

2015-02-12list_lru: add helpers to isolate itemsVladimir Davydov
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.

2015-02-12list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_{count,walk}Vladimir Davydov
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. 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.

From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of one non-linear one. The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying the VM is a big advantage. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (78 commits) memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex memcg: zap memcg_name argument of memcg_create_kmem_cache memcg: zap __memcg_{charge,uncharge}_slab mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check mm: hugetlb: fix type of hugetlb_treat_as_movable variable mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"? mm: memory: merge shared-writable dirtying branches in do_wp_page() mm: memory: remove ->vm_file check on shared writable vmas xtensa: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers x86: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers unicore32: drop pte_file()-related helpers um: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers tile: drop pte_file()-related helpers sparc: drop pte_file()-related helpers sh: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers score: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers s390: drop pte_file()-related helpers parisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers openrisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers nios2: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers ...
