11 years agocifs: fix up handling of prefixpath= option
Jeff Layton [Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:10:45 +0000 (06:10 -0500)]
cifs: fix up handling of prefixpath= option

Currently the code takes care to ensure that the prefixpath has a
leading '/' delimiter. What if someone passes us a prefixpath with a
leading '\\' instead? The code doesn't properly handle that currently
AFAICS.

Let's just change the code to skip over any leading delimiter character
when copying the prepath. Then, fix up the users of the prepath option
to prefix it with the correct delimiter when they use it.

Also, there's no need to limit the length of the prefixpath to 1k. If
the server can handle it, why bother forbidding it?

cifs: avoid extra allocation for small cifs.idmap keys

When the payload is the same size as a pointer or smaller, just store
it in the payload.value union member instead. That saves us an extra
allocation on the sid_to_id upcall.

Note that we have to take extra care to check the datalen when we

11 years agocifs: simplify id_to_sid and sid_to_id mapping code

cifs: simplify id_to_sid and sid_to_id mapping code

The cifs.idmap handling code currently causes the kernel to cache the
data from userspace twice. It first looks in a rbtree to see if there is
a matching entry for the given id. If there isn't then it calls
request_key which then checks its cache and then calls out to userland
if it doesn't have one. If the userland program establishes a mapping
and downcalls with that info, it then gets cached in the keyring and in
this rbtree.

Aside from the double memory usage and the performance penalty in doing
all of these extra copies, there are some nasty bugs in here too. The
code declares four rbtrees and spinlocks to protect them, but only seems
to use two of them. The upshot is that the same tree is used to hold
(eg) uid:sid and sid:uid mappings. The comparitors aren't equipped to
deal with that.

I think we'd be best off to remove a layer of caching in this code. If
this was originally done for performance reasons, then that really seems
like a premature optimization.

This patch does that -- it removes the rbtrees and the locks that
protect them and simply has the code do a request_key call on each call
into sid_to_id and id_to_sid. This greatly simplifies this code and
should roughly halve the memory utilization from using the idmapping
code.

  sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
  use cases.

  Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly

  introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work

  struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
  it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
  save some bytes.

  Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for

11 years agovfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings
Linus Torvalds [Tue, 4 Dec 2012 16:25:11 +0000 (08:25 -0800)]
vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.

That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".

However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.

The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.

So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.

This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.

So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in
this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and
block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c
instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c.

This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler,
and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore
introduced for mount.

I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this

 "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes.  One was for a
  long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
  regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
  the two fixes together.

  The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
  w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  It only triggers on workqueue destructions
  which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
  called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well.  Apparently,
  if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
  indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.

  The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
  kthread function.

  The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
  mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
  Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
  which expires on the closest next tick.  Some users of the new
  function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
  queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.

  Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
  and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
  network.  The fix, again, is fairly simple.  The 0 delay special case
  logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
  __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
  and mod_delayed_work_on().

  The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
  latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
  wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
  fixes are fairly safe"

11 years agoworkqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay
Tejun Heo [Sun, 2 Dec 2012 00:23:42 +0000 (16:23 -0800)]
workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.

Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.

This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.

The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.

As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().

Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

11 years agomm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended
Mel Gorman [Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:54:30 +0000 (13:54 -0800)]
mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following

  Hmm,  so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
  kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
  but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off  Firefox
  or TB  (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
  those apps again.  (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

  kswapd0         R  running task        0    30      2 0x00000000
  Call Trace:
    preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60
    _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60

    drop_super+0x22/0x30
    prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
    shrink_slab+0xba/0x510

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction.  That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.

If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided.  However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time.  This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep().  Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.

This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations.  For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up.  For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing

Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone.  Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation.  This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.

Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory.  Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.

This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

11 years agomm: compaction: fix return value of capture_free_page()
Mel Gorman [Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:54:20 +0000 (13:54 -0800)]
mm: compaction: fix return value of capture_free_page()

Commit ef6c5be658f6 ("fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears
like memory leak)") fixes a NR_FREE_PAGE accounting leak but missed the
return value which was also missed by this reviewer until today.

That return value is used by compaction when adding pages to a list of
isolated free pages and without this follow-up fix, there is a risk of
free list corruption.

fix off-by-one in argument passed by iterate_fd() to callbacks

Noticed by Pavel Roskin; the thing in his patch I disagree with
was compensating for that shite in callbacks instead of fixing
it once in the iterator itself.

blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device
accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us.
So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should
already have done it anyway.

That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the
whole function there and make it static.

direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times

Since directio can work on a raw block device, and the block size of the
device can change under it, we need to do the same thing that
fs/buffer.c now does: read the block size a single time, using
ACCESS_ONCE().

Reading it multiple times can get different results, which will then
confuse the code because it actually encodes the i_blksize in
relationship to the underlying logical blocksize.
