git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma: "DAX error handling for 4.7 - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver. - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1. Other misc changes: - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes would fail. - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks" * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks) dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks block: Add vfs_msg() interface dax: Remove redundant inode size checks dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io() dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io() dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c
2016-05-26ocfs2: fix improper handling of return errnoEric Ren
Previously, if a bad inode was found in ocfs2_iget(), -ESTALE was returned back to the caller anyway. Since commit d2b9d71a2da7 ("ocfs2: check/fix inode block for online file check") can handle with return value from ocfs2_read_locked_inode() now, we know the exact errno returned for us.

2016-05-25ceph: don't use truncate_pagecache() to invalidate read cacheYan, Zheng
truncate_pagecache() drops dirty pages, it's dangerous to use it to invalidate read cache. Besides, we shouldn't start invalidating read cache while there are buffer writers. Because buffer writers may add dirty pages later. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2016-05-25ceph: make ceph_update_writeable_page() uninterruptibleYan, Zheng

2016-05-25ceph: handle -EAGAIN returned by ceph_update_writeable_page()Yan, Zheng

2016-05-25ceph: keep leaf frag when updating fragtreeYan, Zheng
Nodes in i_fragtree are sorted according to ceph_compare_frag(). It means frag node in i_fragtree always follow its direct parent node. To check if a leaf node is valid, we just need to check if it's child of previous split node. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2016-05-25ceph: fix dir_auth check in ceph_fill_dirfrag()Yan, Zheng

2016-05-25ceph: don't assume frag tree splits in mds reply are sortedYan, Zheng
The algorithm that updates i_fragtree relies on that the frag tree splits in mds reply are of the same order of i_fragtree. This is not true because current MDS encodes frag tree splits in ascending order of (unsigned)frag_t. But nodes in i_fragtree are sorted according to ceph_frag_compare(). The fix is sort the frag tree splits first, then updates i_fragtree. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2016-05-25ceph: using hash value to compose dentry offsetYan, Zheng
If MDS sorts dentries in dirfrag in hash order, we use hash value to compose dentry offset. dentry offset is: (0xff << 52) | ((24 bits hash) << 28) | (the nth entry hash hash collision) This offset is stable across directory fragmentation. This alos means there is no need to reset readdir offset if directory get fragmented in the middle of readdir. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2016-05-25ceph: don't forbid marking directory complete after forward seekYan, Zheng
Forward seek within same frag does not update fi->last_name, it will not affect contents of later readdir reply. So there is no need to forbid marking directory complete Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2016-05-25ceph: define 'end/complete' in readdir reply as bit flagsYan, Zheng

2016-05-25ceph: use CEPH_MDS_OP_RMXATTR request to remove xattrYan, Zheng
Setxattr with NULL value and XATTR_REPLACE flag should be equivalent to removexattr. But current MDS does not support deleting vxattrs through MDS_OP_SETXATTR request. The workaround is sending MDS_OP_RMXATTR request if setxattr actually removs xattr. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

symlink target is useless for debug and can be very long. It's annoying to show it in debugfs/mdsc. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2016-05-25ceph: don't call truncate_pagecache in ceph_writepages_startYan, Zheng
truncate_pagecache() may decrease inode's reference. This can cause deadlock if inode's last reference is dropped and iput_final() wants to evict the inode. (evict() calls inode_wait_for_writeback(), which waits for ceph_writepages_start() to return). The fix is use work thead to truncate dirty pages. Also add 'forced umount' check to ceph_update_writeable_page(), which prevents new pages getting dirty. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>
2016-05-25ceph: renew caps for read/write if mds session got killed.Yan, Zheng
When mds session gets killed, read/write operation may hang. Client waits for Frw caps, but mds does not know what caps client wants. To recover this, client sends an open request to mds. The request will tell mds what caps client wants. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2016-05-25libceph: a major OSD client updateIlya Dryomov
This is a major sync up, up to ~Jewel. The highlights are: - per-session request trees (vs a global per-client tree) - per-session locking (vs a global per-client rwlock) - homeless OSD session - no ad-hoc global per-client lists - support for pool quotas - foundation for watch/notify v2 support - foundation for map check (pool deletion detection) support The switchover is incomplete: lingering requests can be setup and teared down but aren't ever reestablished. This functionality is restored with the introduction of the new lingering infrastructure (ceph_osd_linger_request, linger_work, etc) in a later commit.

2016-05-25libceph: redo callbacks and factor out MOSDOpReply decodingIlya Dryomov
If you specify ACK | ONDISK and set ->r_unsafe_callback, both ->r_callback and ->r_unsafe_callback(true) are called on ack. This is very confusing. Redo this so that only one of them is called: ->r_unsafe_callback(true), on ack ->r_unsafe_callback(false), on commit or ->r_callback, on ack|commit Decode everything in decode_MOSDOpReply() to reduce clutter.

2016-05-25libceph: drop msg argument from ceph_osdc_callback_tIlya Dryomov

2016-05-25libceph: switch to calc_target(), part 2Ilya Dryomov
The crux of this is getting rid of ceph_osdc_build_request(), so that MOSDOp can be encoded not before but after calc_target() calculates the actual target. Encoding now happens within ceph_osdc_start_request(). Also nuked is the accompanying bunch of pointers into the encoded buffer that was used to update fields on each send - instead, the entire front is re-encoded. If we want to support target->name_len != base->name_len in the future, there is no other way, because oid is surrounded by other fields in the encoded buffer. Encoding OSD ops and adding data items to the request message were mixed together in osd_req_encode_op(). While we want to re-encode OSD ops, we don't want to add duplicate data items to the message when resending, so all call to ceph_osdc_msg_data_add() are factored out into a new setup_request_data().

2016-05-25libceph: variable-sized ceph_object_idIlya Dryomov
Currently ceph_object_id can hold object names of up to 100 (CEPH_MAX_OID_NAME_LEN) characters. This is enough for all use cases, expect one - long rbd image names: - a format 1 header is named "<imgname>.rbd" - an object that points to a format 2 header is named "rbd_id.<imgname>" We operate on these potentially long-named objects during rbd map, and, for format 1 images, during header refresh. (A format 2 header name is a small system-generated string.) Lift this 100 character limit by making ceph_object_id be able to point to an externally-allocated string. Apart from being able to work with almost arbitrarily-long named objects, this allows us to reduce the size of ceph_object_id from >100 bytes to 64 bytes.

2016-05-25libceph: move message allocation out of ceph_osdc_alloc_request()Ilya Dryomov
The size of ->r_request and ->r_reply messages depends on the size of the object name (ceph_object_id), while the size of ceph_osd_request is fixed. Move message allocation into a separate function that would have to be called after ceph_object_id and ceph_object_locator (which is also going to become variable in size with RADOS namespaces) have been filled in: req = ceph_osdc_alloc_request(...); <fill in req->r_base_oid> <fill in req->r_base_oloc> ceph_osdc_alloc_messages(req); Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
