2010-06-29fs: fix superblock iteration racenpiggin@suse.de
list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent modification of the list. 6754af6 introduced a race in sb walking. list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is dropped, n may be deleted.

2010-05-24quota: move unmount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting filesystems. This means filesystems with their own quota handling can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling. Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

2010-05-24quota: move remount handling into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently do_remount_sb calls into the dquot code to tell it about going from rw to ro and ro to rw. Move this code into the filesystem to not depend on the dquot code in the VFS - note ocfs2 already ignores these calls and handles remount by itself. This gets rid of overloading the quotactl calls and allows to unify the VFS and XFS codepaths in that area later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

It seems an annotation like the following is sufficient to fix this (it does get rid of the lockdep trace in my simple tests); however I would like to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the locking, hence the CC list...

2010-05-21Introduce freeze_super and thaw_super for the fsfreeze ioctlJosef Bacik
Currently the way we do freezing is by passing sb>s_bdev to freeze_bdev and then letting it do all the work. But freezing is more of an fs thing, and doesn't really have much to do with the bdev at all, all the work gets done with the super. In btrfs we do not populate s_bdev, since we can have multiple bdev's for one fs and setting s_bdev makes removing devices from a pool kind of tricky. This means that freezing a btrfs filesystem fails, which causes us to corrupt with things like tux-on-ice which use the fsfreeze mechanism. So instead of populating sb->s_bdev with a random bdev in our pool, I've broken the actual fs freezing stuff into freeze_super and thaw_super. These just take the super_block that we're freezing and does the appropriate work. It's basically just copy and pasted from freeze_bdev. I've then converted freeze_bdev over to use the new super helpers. I've tested this with ext4 and btrfs and verified everything continues to work the same as before. The only new gotcha is multiple calls to the fsfreeze ioctl will return EBUSY if the fs is already frozen. I thought this was a better solution than adding a freeze counter to the super_block, but if everybody hates this idea I'm open to suggestions.

2010-03-03fs: improve remount,ro vs buffercache coherencyNick Piggin
Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro. Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev via their own mappings. These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev) and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications. So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a coherency point. The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal" block devices, including loop.

2009-09-24freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocksChristoph Hellwig
Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead of blocking on s_umount. Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

2009-09-24freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_semChristoph Hellwig
Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

2009-09-24vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_tJeff Layton
sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long. Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison. Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value. Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now that it's a signed value.

2009-09-11writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing dataJens Axboe
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

2009-06-24Make allocation of anon devices cheaperAl Viro
Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that for each n < start n is known to be busy. Allocation can skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns n, we can set start to n + 1. Freeing below start sets start to what we'd just freed. Of course, it still sucks if we do something like free 0 allocate allocate in a loop - still O(n^2) time. However, on saner loads it improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case behaviour.

Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

2009-06-12push BKL down into ->put_superChristoph Hellwig
Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs, hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area. [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super() now] [AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-12No need to do lock_super() for exclusion in generic_shutdown_super()Al Viro
We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super() either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super() (and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course). Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super() into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-06-12cleanup sync_supersChristoph Hellwig
Merge the write_super helper into sync_super and move the check for ->write_super earlier so that we can avoid grabbing a reference to a superblock that doesn't have it. While we're at it also add a little comment documenting sync_supers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-06-12remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_superChristoph Hellwig
We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do. Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual filesystem maintainers. Exceptions: - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of affs_put_super so no need to do it twice. - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts here..

2009-06-12vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)Jan Kara
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers() is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks. sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.
