2017-10-05ovl: fix regression caused by exclusive upper/work dir protectionAmir Goldstein
Enforcing exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs caused a docker regression: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/34672. Euan spotted the regression and pointed to the offending commit. Vivek has brought the regression to my attention and provided this reproducer: Terminal 1: mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ Terminal 2: unshare -m Terminal 1: umount merged mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ mount: /root/overlay-testing/merged: none already mounted or mount point busy To fix the regression, I replaced the error with an alarming warning. With index feature enabled, mount does fail, but logs a suggestion to override exclusive dir protection by disabling index. Note that index=off mount does take the inuse locks, so a concurrent index=off will issue the warning and a concurrent index=on mount will fail. Documentation was updated to reflect this change.

2017-09-06fscache: remove unused ->now_uncached callbackJan Kara
Patch series "Ranged pagevec lookup", v2. In this series I make pagevec_lookup() update the index (to be consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation for ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code but is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch 4/10) where radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after the end of the range has measurable overhead. This patch (of 10): The callback doesn't ever get called. Remove it.

2017-09-06dax: use common 4k zero page for dax mmap readsRoss Zwisler
When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree. This has three major drawbacks: 1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps: 7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 1048576 kB Pss: 1048576 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 1048576 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 1048576 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB 2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on a random test box: Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 us This was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by this simple fio script: [global] size=1G filename=/root/dax/data fallocate=none [io] rw=read ioengine=mmap 3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more complex. Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX code. Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early and fail loudly. This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new code: 7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data Size: 1048576 kB Rss: 0 kB Pss: 0 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 0 kB Referenced: 0 kB Anonymous: 0 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Locked: 0 kB Overall system memory consumption is similarly improved. Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more: "To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call. Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page(): case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page() returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper. We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults. This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag. If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724170616.25810-4-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: "Darrick J.

2017-07-17VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flagsDavid Howells
Differentiate the MS_* flags passed to mount(2) from the internal flags set in the super_block's s_flags. s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to. In this patch, just the headers are altered and some kernel code where blind automated conversion isn't necessarily correct. Note that this shows up some interesting issues: (1) Some MS_* flags get translated to MNT_* flags (such as MS_NODEV -> MNT_NODEV) without passing this on to the filesystem, but some filesystems set such flags anyway. (2) The ->remount_fs() methods of some filesystems adjust the *flags argument by setting MS_* flags in it, such as MS_NOATIME - but these flags are then scrubbed by do_remount_sb() (only the occupants of MS_RMT_MASK are permitted: MS_RDONLY, MS_SYNCHRONOUS, MS_MANDLOCK, MS_I_VERSION and MS_LAZYTIME) I'm not sure what's the best way to solve all these cases.

2017-07-12procfs: fdinfo: extend information about epoll target filesCyrill Gorcunov
Since it is possbile to have same number in tfd field (say file added, closed, then nother file dup'ed to same number and added back) it is imposible to distinguish such target files solely by their numbers. Strictly speaking regular applications don't need to recognize these targets at all but for checkpoint/restore sake we need to collect targets to be able to push them back on restore stage in a proper order. Thus lets add file position, inode and device number where this target lays. This three fields can be used as a primary key for sorting, and together with kcmp help CRIU can find out an exact file target (from the whole set of processes being checkpointed).

2017-07-10Fix up over-eager 'wait_queue_t' renamingLinus Torvalds
Commit ac6424b981bc ("sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t") had scripted the renaming incorrectly, and didn't actually check that the 'wait_queue_t' was a full token. As a result, it also triggered on 'wait_queue_token', and renamed that to 'wait_queue_entry_token' entry in the autofs4 packet structure definition too. That was entirely incorrect, and not intended.

2017-07-08f2fs: support plain user/group quotaChao Yu
This patch adds to support plain user/group quota. Change Note by Jaegeuk Kim. - Use f2fs page cache for quota files in order to consider garbage collection. so, quota files are not tolerable for sudden power-cuts, so user needs to do quotacheck. - setattr() calls dquot_transfer which will transfer inode->i_blocks. We can't reclaim that during f2fs_evict_inode(). So, we need to count node blocks as well in order to match i_blocks with dquot's space. Note that, Chao wrote a patch to count inode->i_blocks without inode block. (f2fs: don't count inode block in in-memory inode.i_blocks) - in f2fs_remount, we need to make RW in prior to dquot_resume. - handle fault_injection case during f2fs_quota_off_umount - TODO: Project quota Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too.

2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

To fix this, introduce a macro arch_can_pci_mmap_wc() which indicates whether the platform can do a write-combining mapping.
