2011-05-29eCryptfs: Remove ecryptfs_header_cache_2Tyler Hicks
Now that ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() is no longer using ecryptfs_header_cache_2 to read in metadata, the kmem_cache can be removed and the ecryptfs_header_cache_1 kmem_cache can be renamed to ecryptfs_header_cache. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-05-29eCryptfs: Cleanup and optimize ecryptfs_lookup_interpose()Tyler Hicks
ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() has turned into spaghetti code over the years. This is an effort to clean it up. - Shorten overly descriptive variable names such as ecryptfs_dentry - Simplify gotos and error paths - Create helper function for reading plaintext i_size from metadata It also includes an optimization when reading i_size from the metadata. A complete page-sized kmem_cache_alloc() was being done to read in 16 bytes of metadata. The buffer for that is now statically declared. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-05-29eCryptfs: Return useful code from contains_ecryptfs_markerTyler Hicks
Instead of having the calling functions translate the true/false return code to either 0 or -EINVAL, have contains_ecryptfs_marker() return 0 or -EINVAL so that the calling functions can just reuse the return code. Also, rename the function to ecryptfs_validate_marker() to avoid callers mistakenly thinking that it returns true/false codes. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2011-05-29pnfs-obj: report errors and .encode_layoutreturn Implementation.Boaz Harrosh
An io_state pre-allocates an error information structure for each possible osd-device that might error during IO. When IO is done if all was well the io_state is freed. (as today). If the I/O has ended with an error, the io_state is queued on a per-layout err_list. When eventually encode_layoutreturn() is called, each error is properly encoded on the XDR buffer and only then the io_state is removed from err_list and de-allocated. It is up to the io_engine to fill in the segment that fault and the type of osd_error that occurred. By calling objlayout_io_set_result() for each failing device.

2011-05-29pnfs: client statsJ. Bruce Fields
A pNFS client auto-negotiates a lot of features (minorversion level, pNFS layout type, etc.). This is convenient, but makes certain kinds of failures hard for a user to detect. For example, if the client falls back on 4.0, or falls back to MDS IO because the user didn't connect to the right iscsi disks before mounting, the only symptoms may be reduced performance, which may not be noticed till long after the actual failure, and may be difficult for a user to diagnose. However, such "failures" may also be perfectly normal in some cases, so we don't want to spam the system logs with them. One approach would be to put some more information into /proc/self/mountstats.

2011-05-29eCryptfs: Cleanup inode initialization codeTyler Hicks
The eCryptfs inode get, initialization, and dentry interposition code has two separate paths. One is for when dentry interposition is needed after doing things like a mkdir in the lower filesystem and the other is needed after a lookup. Unlocking new inodes and doing a d_add() needs to happen at different times, depending on which type of dentry interposing is being done. This patch cleans up the inode get and initialization code paths and splits them up so that the locking and d_add() differences mentioned above can be handled appropriately in a later patch.

2011-05-28Cache xattr security drop check for write v2Andi Kleen
Some recent benchmarking on btrfs showed that a major scaling bottleneck on large systems on btrfs is currently the xattr lookup on every write. Why xattr lookup on every write I hear you ask? write wants to drop suid and security related xattrs that could set o capabilities for executables. To do that it currently looks up security.capability on EVERY write (even for non executables) to decide whether to drop it or not. In btrfs this causes an additional tree walk, hitting some per file system locks and quite bad scalability. In a simple read workload on a 8S system I saw over 90% CPU time in spinlocks related to that. Chris Mason tells me this is also a problem in ext4, where it hits the global mbcache lock. This patch adds a simple per inode to avoid this problem. We only do the lookup once per file and then if there is no xattr cache the decision. All xattr changes clear the flag. I also used the same flag to avoid the suid check, although that one is pretty cheap. A file system can also set this flag when it creates the inode, if it has a cheap way to do so. This is done for some common file systems in followon patches. With this patch a major part of the lock contention disappears for btrfs. Some testing on smaller systems didn't show significant performance changes, but at least it helps the larger systems and is generally more efficient. v2: Rename is_sgid. add file system helper.
