2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove lock methods for lock_nolock protocolWendy Cheng
GFS2 supports two modes of locking - lock_nolock for single node filesystem and lock_dlm for cluster mode locking. The gfs2 lock methods are removed from file operation table for lock_nolock protocol. This would allow VFS to handle posix lock and flock logics just like other in-tree filesystems without duplication. Signed-off-by: S.

2008-01-25[GFS2] remove unnecessary permission checksRyan O'Hara
Remove read/write permission() checks from xattr operations. VFS layer is already handling permission for xattrs via the xattr_permission() call, so there is no need for gfs2 to check permissions. Futhermore, using permission() for SELinux xattrs ops is incorrect. Signed-off-by: Ryan O'Hara <rohara@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Fix runtime issue with UP kernelsFabio Massimo Di Nitto
The issue is indeed UP vs SMP and it is totally random. spin_is_locked() is a bad assertion because there is no correct answer on UP. on UP spin_is_locked() has to return either one value or another, always. This means that in my setup I am lucky enough to trigger the issue and your you are lucky enough not to. the patch in attachment removes the bogus calls to BUG_ON and according to David (in CC and thanks for the long explanation on the problem) we can rely upon things like lockdep to find problem that might be trying to catch.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Check for installation of mount helpers for DLM mountsFabio Massimo Di Nitto
The patch is a fix to abort mount if the mount.gfs* and possible umount.* are missing from /sbin. While we do what we can to guarantee that they are installed properly in userland (CVS HEAD), we want to make sure that mount still aborts properly. The only sign of missing helpers is that lock_dlm will receive no mount options at all. According to David the problem does not exist for lock_nolock as the helpers are not required. The patch has been tested for both gfs and gfs2 and it works as expected. The lack of mount.gfs* will generate an error that is propagated to mount: oot@node1:~# mount -t gfs2 /dev/nbd2 /mnt/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nbd2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [ 3513.303346] GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_dlm", "gutsy:gfs2" [ 3513.304546] DLM/GFS2/GFS ERROR: (u)mount helpers are not installed properly!

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't periodically update the jindexSteven Whitehouse
We only care about the content of the jindex in two cases, one is when we mount the fs and the other is when we need to recover another journal. In both cases we have to update the jindex anyway, so there is no point in updating it periodically between times, so this removes it to simplify gfs2_logd.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't add glocks to the journalSteven Whitehouse
The only reason for adding glocks to the journal was to keep track of which locks required a log flush prior to release. We add a flag to the glock to allow this check to be made in a simpler way. This reduces the size of a glock (by 12 bytes on i386, 24 on x86_64) and means that we can avoid extra work during the journal flush. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] check kthread_should_stop when waitingDavid Teigland

2008-01-25[GFS2] Given device ID rather than s_id in "id" sysfs fileBob Peterson
This patch changes the /sys/fs/gfs2/<s_id>/id file to give the device id "major:minor" rather than the s_id.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove flags no longer requiredSteven Whitehouse
The HIF_MUTEX and HIF_PROMOTE flags were set on the glock holders depending upon which of the two waiters lists they were going to be queued upon. They were then tested when the holders were taken off the lists to ensure that the right type of holder was being dequeued. Since we are already using separate lists, there doesn't seem a lot of point having these flags as well, and since setting them and testing them is in the fast path for locking and unlocking glock, this patch removes them. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Reorder writeback for glock syncSteven Whitehouse
Previously we were doing (write data, wait for data, write metadata, wait for metadata). After this patch we so (write metadata, write data, wait for data, wait for metadata) which should be more efficient. Also I noticed that the drop_bh and xmote_bh functions were almost identical. In fact the only difference was a single test, and that test is such that in the drop_bh case, it would always evaluate to the correct result. As such we can use the xmote_bh functions in all the places where we were using the drop_bh function and remove the drop_bh functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove "reclaim limit"Steven Whitehouse
This call to reclaim glocks is not needed, and in particular we don't want it in the fast path for locking glocks.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Don't hold page lock when starting transactionSteven Whitehouse
This is an addendum to the new AOPs work which moves the point at which we take the page lock so that we don't get it until the last possible moment. This resolves a conflict between starting transactions and the page lock. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Add writepages for GFS2 jdataSteven Whitehouse
This patch resolves a lock ordering issue where we had been getting a transaction lock in the wrong order with respect to the page lock. By using writepages rather than just writepage, it is then possible to start a transaction before locking the page, and thus matching the locking order elsewhere in the code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Split gfs2_writepage into three casesSteven Whitehouse
This patch splits gfs2_writepage into separate functions for each of the three cases: writeback, ordered and journalled. As a result it becomes a lot easier to see what each one is doing. The common code is moved into gfs2_writepage_common. This fixes a performance bug where we were doing more work than strictly required in the ordered write case. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Introduce gfs2_set_aops()Steven Whitehouse
Just like ext3 we now have three sets of address space operations to cover the cases of writeback, ordered and journalled data writes. This means that the individual operations can now become less complicated as we are able to remove some of the tests for file data mode from the code.

2008-01-25[GFS2] Add gfs2_is_writeback()Steven Whitehouse
This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the existing "gfs2_is_jdata()" in order to clean up the code and make the various tests for the inode mode more obvious. It also fixes the PageChecked() logic where we were resetting the flag too early in the case of an error path. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2008-01-25[GFS2] Remove useless i_cache from inodesSteven Whitehouse
The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been the cause of many bugs. In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Use ->page_mkwrite() for mmap()Steven Whitehouse
This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation. This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better). As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code path easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Clean up internal read functionSteven Whitehouse
As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it. As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking and the other function has the rest of the logic. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
2008-01-25[GFS2] Handle multiple glock demote requestsWendy Cheng
Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback() to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request, instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state. Signed-off-by: S.

Commit 84427eaef1fb91704c7112bdb598c810003b99f3 (remove task_ppid_nr_ns) moved the task_tgid_nr_ns(task->real_parent) outside of lock_task_sighand(). This is wrong, ->real_parent could be freed/reused. Both ->parent/real_parent point to nothing after __exit_signal() because we remove the child from ->children list, and thus the child can't be reparented when its parent exits. rcu_read_lock() protects ->parent/real_parent, but _only_ if we know it was valid before we take rcu lock.

As of f34b95689d2ce001c "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero length WRITE request correctly", the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost.

2008-01-13remove task_ppid_nr_nsRoland McGrath
task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places. One of these should never have called it. In the other two, using it broke the existing semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

2008-01-12Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissionsLinus Torvalds
Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467, aka "VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent" to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry lookup to the low-level filesystem. However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag ("flag"). Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.

hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example. This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases. o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount (these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ) o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer we were trying to set up: HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open() ... failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.

2008-01-09eCryptfs: fix dentry handling on create error, unlink, and inode destroyMichael Halcrow
This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs. If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs. Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs dentry to correct this. eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().

2008-01-03NFSv4: Fix open_to_lock_owner sequenceid allocation...Trond Myklebust
NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback. Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed. Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the standard lock_seqid.
