2018-04-06fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for itDavid Howells
Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it can be received. This makes it easier to update the size of the object when a new page is written that extends the object. The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

2018-04-04fscache: Fix hanging wait on page discarded by writebackDavid Howells
If the fscache asynchronous write operation elects to discard a page that's pending storage to the cache because the page would be over the store limit then it needs to wake the page as someone may be waiting on completion of the write. The problem is that the store limit may be updated by a different asynchronous operation - and so may miss the write - and that the store limit may not even get updated until later by the netfs. Fix the kernel hang by making fscache_write_op() mark as written any pages that are over the limit. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-11-15mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecsMel Gorman
Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-11-11FS-Cache: Handle a write to the page immediately beyond the EOF markerDavid Howells
Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in the file if we extend the file over it. The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store. The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to the store limit - when we should reject that case. Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just return -ENOBUFS instead. The assertion failure looks something like this: CacheFiles: Assertion failed 1000 < 7b1 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/rdwr.c:962! ...

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2015-04-02FS-Cache: Retain the netfs context in the retrieval op earlierDavid Howells
Now that the retrieval operation may be disposed of by fscache_put_operation() before we actually set the context, the retrieval-specific cleanup operation can produce a NULL-pointer dereference when it tries to unconditionally clean up the netfs context. Given that it is expected that we'll get at least as far as the place where we currently set the context pointer and it is unlikely we'll go through the error handling paths prior to that point, retain the context right from the point that the retrieval op is allocated. Concomitant to this, we need to retain the cookie pointer in the retrieval op also so that we can call the netfs to release its context in the release method. In addition, we might now get into fscache_release_retrieval_op() with the op only initialised. To this end, set the operation to DEAD only after the release method has been called and skip the n_pages test upon cleanup if the op is still in the INITIALISED state. Without these changes, the following oops might be seen: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000b8 ...

2015-04-02FS-Cache: The operation cancellation method needs calling in more placesDavid Howells
Any time an incomplete operation is cancelled, the operation cancellation function needs to be called to clean up. This is currently being passed directly to some of the functions that might want to call it, but not all. Instead, pass the cancellation method pointer to the fscache_operation_init() and have that cache it in the operation struct. Further, plug in a dummy cancellation handler if the caller declines to set one as this allows us to call the function unconditionally (the extra overhead isn't worth bothering about as we don't expect to be calling this typically). The cancellation method must thence be called everywhere the CANCELLED state is set. Note that we call it *before* setting the CANCELLED state such that the method can use the old state value to guide its operation. fscache_do_cancel_retrieval() needs moving higher up in the sources so that the init function can use it now.

2015-04-02FS-Cache: Permit fscache_cancel_op() to cancel in-progress operations tooDavid Howells
Currently, fscache_cancel_op() only cancels pending operations - attempts to cancel in-progress operations are ignored. This leads to a problem in fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() whereby the wait is terminated, but the object has been killed. The check at the end of the function now triggers because it's no longer contingent on the cache having produced an I/O error since the commit that fixed the logic error in fscache_object_is_dead(). The result of the check is that it tries to cancel the operation - but since the object may not be pending by this point, the cancellation request may be ignored - with the result that the the object is just put by the caller and fscache_put_operation has an assertion failure because the operation isn't in either the COMPLETE or the CANCELLED states. To fix this, we permit in-progress ops to be cancelled under some circumstances. The bug results in an oops that looks something like this: FS-Cache: fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() = -ENOBUFS [obj dead 3] FS-Cache: FS-Cache: Assertion failed FS-Cache: 3 == 5 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../fs/fscache/operation.c:432! ...

2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2013-09-27FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookiesDavid Howells
Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie will reject or ignore further requests to: Acquire a child cookie Invalidate and update backing objects Check the consistency of a backing object Allocate storage for backing page Read backing pages Write to backing pages but still allows: Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects Uncaching of pages Relinquishment of cookies Two new operations are provided: (1) Disable a cookie: void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool invalidate); If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any associated object. This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(), but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled. All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page markings are cleared up. (2) Enable a cookie: void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool (*can_enable)(void *data), void *data) If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects. The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to begin. All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated. A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open() is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing caching to an inode that's open for writing already. One operation has its API modified: (3) Acquire a cookie. struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie( struct fscache_cookie *parent, const struct fscache_cookie_def *def, void *netfs_data, bool enable); This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable() function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else can get at the cookie before this returns.

2013-09-27FS-Cache: Add use/unuse/wake cookie wrappersDavid Howells
Add wrapper functions for dealing with cookie->n_active: (*) __fscache_use_cookie() to increment it. (*) __fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement and test against zero. (*) __fscache_wake_unused_cookie() to wake up anyone waiting for it to reach zero. The second and third are split so that the third can be done after cookie->lock has been released in case the waiter wakes up whilst we're still holding it and tries to get it. We will need to wake-on-zero once the cookie disablement patch is applied because it will then be possible to see n_active become zero without the cookie being relinquished. Also move the cookie usement out of fscache_attr_changed_op() and into fscache_attr_changed() and the operation struct so that cookie disablement will be able to track it. Whilst we're at it, only increment n_active if we're about to do fscache_submit_op() so that we don't have to deal with undoing it if anything earlier fails. Possibly this should be moved into fscache_submit_op() which could look at FSCACHE_OP_UNUSE_COOKIE. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2013-09-11lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interruptJan Kara
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

2013-09-06fscache: Netfs function for cleanup post readpagesMilosz Tanski
Currently the fscache code expect the netfs to call fscache_readpages_or_alloc inside the aops readpages callback. It marks all the pages in the list provided by readahead with PG_private_2. In the cases that the netfs fails to read all the pages (which is legal) it ends up returning to the readahead and triggering a BUG. This happens because the page list still contains marked pages. This patch implements a simple fscache_readpages_cancel function that the netfs should call before returning from readpages. It will revoke the pages from the underlying cache backend and unmark them. The problem was originally worked out in the Ceph devel tree, but it also occurs in CIFS. It appears that NFS, AFS and 9P are okay as read_cache_pages() will clean up the unprocessed pages in the case of an error. This can be used to address the following oops: [12410647.597278] BUG: Bad page state in process petabucket pfn:3d504e [12410647.597292] page:ffffea000f541380 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x0 [12410647.597298] page flags: 0x200000000001000(private_2) ...

2013-09-06FS-Cache: Add interface to check consistency of a cached objectDavid Howells
Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object: int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie) This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS. The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer: int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object) that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the object state.

2013-06-19FS-Cache: The retrieval remaining-pages counter needs to be atomic_tDavid Howells
struct fscache_retrieval contains a count of the number of pages that still need some processing (n_pages). This is decremented as the pages are processed. However, this needs to be atomic as fscache_retrieval_complete() (I think) just occasionally may be called from cachefiles_read_backing_file() and cachefiles_read_copier() simultaneously. This happens when an fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() request containing a lot of pages (say a couple of hundred) is being processed. The read on each backing page is dispatched individually because we need to insert a monitor into the waitqueue to catch when the read completes. However, under low-memory conditions, we might be forced to wait in the allocator - and this gives the I/O on the backing page a chance to complete first. When the I/O completes, fscache_enqueue_retrieval() chucks the retrieval onto the workqueue without waiting for the operation to finish the initial I/O dispatch (we want to release any pages we can as soon as we can), thus both can end up running simultaneously and potentially attempting to partially complete the retrieval simultaneously (ENOMEM may occur, backing pages may already be in the page cache). This was demonstrated by parallelling the non-atomic counter with an atomic counter and printing both of them when the assertion fails. At this point, the atomic counter has reached zero, but the non-atomic counter has not. To fix this, make the counter an atomic_t. This results in the following bug appearing FS-Cache: Assertion failed 3 == 5 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/fscache/operation.c:421! or FS-Cache: Assertion failed 3 == 5 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/fscache/operation.c:414!

2013-06-19FS-Cache: Simplify cookie retention for fscache_objects, fixing oopsDavid Howells
Simplify the way fscache cache objects retain their cookie. The way I implemented the cookie storage handling made synchronisation a pain (ie. the object state machine can't rely on the cookie actually still being there). Instead of the the object being detached from the cookie and the cookie being freed in __fscache_relinquish_cookie(), we defer both operations: (*) The detachment of the object from the list in the cookie now takes place in fscache_drop_object() and is thus governed by the object state machine (fscache_detach_from_cookie() has been removed). (*) The release of the cookie is now in fscache_object_destroy() - which is called by the cache backend just before it frees the object. This means that the fscache_cookie struct is now available to the cache all the way through from ->alloc_object() to ->drop_object() and ->put_object() - meaning that it's no longer necessary to take object->lock to guarantee access. However, __fscache_relinquish_cookie() doesn't wait for the object to go all the way through to destruction before letting the netfs proceed. That would massively slow down the netfs. Since __fscache_relinquish_cookie() leaves the cookie around, in must therefore break all attachments to the netfs - which includes ->def, ->netfs_data and any outstanding page read/writes. To handle this, struct fscache_cookie now has an n_active counter: (1) This starts off initialised to 1. (2) Any time the cache needs to get at the netfs data, it calls fscache_use_cookie() to increment it - if it is not zero. If it was zero, then access is not permitted. (3) When the cache has finished with the data, it calls fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement it. This does a wake-up on it if it reaches 0. (4) __fscache_relinquish_cookie() decrements n_active and then waits for it to reach 0. The initialisation to 1 in step (1) ensures that we only get wake ups when we're trying to get rid of the cookie. This leaves __fscache_relinquish_cookie() a lot simpler. *** This fixes a problem in the current code whereby if fscache_invalidate() is followed sufficiently quickly by fscache_relinquish_cookie() then it is possible for __fscache_relinquish_cookie() to have detached the cookie from the object and cleared the pointer before a thread is dispatched to process the invalidation state in the object state machine. Since the pending write clearance was deferred to the invalidation state to make it asynchronous, we need to either wait in relinquishment for the stores tree to be cleared in the invalidation state or we need to handle the clearance in relinquishment. Further, if the relinquishment code does clear the tree, then the invalidation state need to make the clearance contingent on still having the cookie to hand (since that's where the tree is rooted) and we have to prevent the cookie from disappearing for the duration. This can lead to an oops like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000c ... RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8151023e>] _spin_lock+0xe/0x30 ...

2013-06-19FS-Cache: Fix object state machine to have separate work and wait statesDavid Howells
Fix object state machine to have separate work and wait states as that makes it easier to envision. There are now three kinds of state: (1) Work state. This is an execution state. No event processing is performed by a work state. The function attached to a work state returns a pointer indicating the next state to which the OSM should transition. Returning NO_TRANSIT repeats the current state, but goes back to the scheduler first. (2) Wait state. This is an event processing state. No execution is performed by a wait state. Wait states are just tables of "if event X occurs, clear it and transition to state Y". The dispatcher returns to the scheduler if none of the events in which the wait state has an interest are currently pending. (3) Out-of-band state. This is a special work state. Transitions to normal states can be overridden when an unexpected event occurs (eg. I/O error). Instead the dispatcher disables and clears the OOB event and transits to the specified work state. This then acts as an ordinary work state, though object->state points to the overridden destination. Returning NO_TRANSIT resumes the overridden transition. In addition, the states have names in their definitions, so there's no need for tables of state names. Further, the EV_REQUEUE event is no longer necessary as that is automatic for work states. Since the states are now separate structs rather than values in an enum, it's not possible to use comparisons other than (non-)equality between them, so use some object->flags to indicate what phase an object is in. The EV_RELEASE, EV_RETIRE and EV_WITHDRAW events have been squished into one (EV_KILL). An object flag now carries the information about retirement. Similarly, the RELEASING, RECYCLING and WITHDRAWING states have been merged into an KILL_OBJECT state and additional states have been added for handling waiting dependent objects (JUMPSTART_DEPS and KILL_DEPENDENTS). A state has also been added for synchronising with parent object initialisation (WAIT_FOR_PARENT) and another for initiating look up (PARENT_READY).

2013-06-19FS-Cache: Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not setDavid Howells
Don't sleep in __fscache_maybe_release_page() if __GFP_FS is not set. This goes some way towards mitigating fscache deadlocking against ext4 by way of the allocator, eg: INFO: task flush-8:0:24427 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
