2006-09-27[PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return valueAlexey Dobriyan
* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.

2006-09-08[PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memoryTrond Myklebust
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages. This causes a page pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or nfs_write_data). Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the pagevec array, and initialise data->npages. Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

2006-06-27[PATCH] fix static linking of NFSDavid Brownell
Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like statically linked NFS (for nfsroot). The symptom is that __init section code references __exit section code; that won't work since the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called). The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit" section annotation.

2006-06-24NFS: alloc nfs_read/write_data as direct I/O is scheduledChuck Lever

2006-06-24NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()Chuck Lever
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's buffer. Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does. An array for pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write and commit equivalents). This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct I/O path. The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources are allocated on the client before starting to send requests. This reduces the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read or write. On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application to make forward progress on a resource-limited client. Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling loops should be good for scalability. The next patch will do the same for NFS data structure allocation.

2006-06-24NFS: "open code" the NFS direct write reschedulerChuck Lever
An NFSv3/v4 client must reschedule on-the-wire writes if the writes are UNSTABLE, and the server reboots before the client can complete a subsequent COMMIT request. To support direct asynchronous scatter-gather writes, the write rescheduler in fs/nfs/direct.c must not depend on the I/O parameters in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure. iovecs can be somewhat arbitrarily complex, so there could be an unbounded amount of information to save for a rarely encountered requirement. Refactor the direct write rescheduler so it uses information from each nfs_write_data structure to reschedule writes, instead of caching that information in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.

2006-06-09NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.cDavid Howells
As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached patch splits it up into a number of files: (*) fs/nfs/inode.c Strictly inode specific functions. (*) fs/nfs/super.c Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones and referrals. The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as there're so many common bits. (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here. (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous file). This file is conditionally compiled. (*) fs/nfs/internal.h Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from fs/nfs/inode.c. Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those files they were moved from now includes this file. For the most part, the functions have not been changed, only some multiplexor functions have changed significantly. I've also: (*) Added some extra banner comments above some functions. (*) Rearranged the function order within the files to be more logical and better grouped (IMO), though someone may prefer a different order. (*) Reduced the number of #ifdefs in .c files. (*) Added missing __init and __exit directives. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2006-03-24[PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystemsPaul Jackson
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD memory spreading. If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring allocation on the node local to the current cpu. The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD: file cache ==== ===== fs/adfs/super.c adfs_inode_cache fs/affs/super.c affs_inode_cache fs/befs/linuxvfs.c befs_inode_cache fs/bfs/inode.c bfs_inode_cache fs/block_dev.c bdev_cache fs/cifs/cifsfs.c cifs_inode_cache fs/coda/inode.c coda_inode_cache fs/dquot.c dquot fs/efs/super.c efs_inode_cache fs/ext2/super.c ext2_inode_cache fs/ext2/xattr.c (fs/mbcache.c) ext2_xattr fs/ext3/super.c ext3_inode_cache fs/ext3/xattr.c (fs/mbcache.c) ext3_xattr fs/fat/cache.c fat_cache fs/fat/inode.c fat_inode_cache fs/freevxfs/vxfs_super.c vxfs_inode fs/hpfs/super.c hpfs_inode_cache fs/isofs/inode.c isofs_inode_cache fs/jffs/inode-v23.c jffs_fm fs/jffs2/super.c jffs2_i fs/jfs/super.c jfs_ip fs/minix/inode.c minix_inode_cache fs/ncpfs/inode.c ncp_inode_cache fs/nfs/direct.c nfs_direct_cache fs/nfs/inode.c nfs_inode_cache fs/ntfs/super.c ntfs_big_inode_cache_name fs/ntfs/super.c ntfs_inode_cache fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmfs.c dlmfs_inode_cache fs/ocfs2/super.c ocfs2_inode_cache fs/proc/inode.c proc_inode_cache fs/qnx4/inode.c qnx4_inode_cache fs/reiserfs/super.c reiser_inode_cache fs/romfs/inode.c romfs_inode_cache fs/smbfs/inode.c smb_inode_cache fs/sysv/inode.c sysv_inode_cache fs/udf/super.c udf_inode_cache fs/ufs/super.c ufs_inode_cache net/socket.c sock_inode_cache net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c rpc_inode_cache The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple. I marked those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache, inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch. Even though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory spreading. Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain. Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

2006-03-14[PATCH] NFS: Fix a potential panic in O_DIRECTTrond Myklebust
Based on an original patch by Mike O'Connor and Greg Banks of SGI. Mike states: A normal user can panic an NFS client and cause a local DoS with 'judicious'(?) use of O_DIRECT. Any O_DIRECT write to an NFS file where the user buffer starts with a valid mapped page and contains an unmapped page, will crash in this way. I haven't followed the code, but O_DIRECT reads with similar user buffers will probably also crash albeit in different ways. Details: when nfs_get_user_pages() calls get_user_pages(), it detects and correctly handles get_user_pages() returning an error, which happens if the first page covered by the user buffer's address range is unmapped. However, if the first page is mapped but some subsequent page isn't, get_user_pages() will return a positive number which is less than the number of pages requested (this behaviour is sort of analagous to a short write() call and appears to be intentional). nfs_get_user_pages() doesn't detect this and hands off the array of pages (whose last few elements are random rubbish from the newly allocated array memory) to it's caller, whence they go to nfs_direct_write_seg(), which then totally ignores the nr_pages it's given, and calculates its own idea of how many pages are in the array from the user buffer length. Needless to say, when it comes to transmit those uninitialised page* pointers, we see a crash in the network stack.
