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. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed writes. A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term, adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss. This generates EFAULT. Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which have only .text and no .data/.bss.) ----- ptinterp.S _start: .globl _start nop int3 ----- $ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S $ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c $ ./hello Segmentation fault # during execve() itself After applying the patch: $ ./hello Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss. This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation. It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

2009-09-10sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfsDavid P. Quigley
This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved into one dynamically allocated field. This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled appropriately.

2009-09-08Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem opLinus Torvalds
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common permission testing. Rather than have most filesystem implement their own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it. This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

2009-09-05exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutexOleg Nesterov
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read /proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since "mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec" 04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d commit in 2.6.31. But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC. The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(), another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the tracee resumes. With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and we do not hold it throughout, instead: - introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred. - install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(), and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop(). or, if exec fails, free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-08-28inotify: update the group mask on mark additionEric Paris

2009-08-28inotify: fix length reporting and size checkingEric Paris
0db501bd0610ee0c0 introduced a regresion in that it now sends a nul terminator but the length accounting when checking for space or reporting to userspace did not take this into account. This corrects all of the rounding logic. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-08-28inotify: do not send a block of zeros when no pathname is availableBrian Rogers
When an event has no pathname, there's no need to pad it with a null byte and therefore generate an inotify_event sized block of zeros. This fixes a regression introduced by commit 0db501bd0610ee0c0aca84d927f90bcccd09e2bd where my system wouldn't finish booting because some process was being confused by this.

2009-08-27ocfs2: invalidate dentry if its dentry_lock isn't initialized.Tao Ma
In commit a5a0a630922a2f6a774b6dac19f70cb5abd86bb0, when ocfs2_attch_dentry_lock fails, we call an extra iput and reset dentry->d_fsdata to NULL. This resolve a bug, but it isn't completed and the dentry is still there. When we want to use it again, ocfs2_dentry_revalidate doesn't catch it and return true. That make future ocfs2_dentry_lock panic out. One bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1162. The resolution is to add a check for dentry->d_fsdata in revalidate process and return false if dentry->d_fsdata is NULL, so that a new ocfs2_lookup will be called again.

2009-08-27AFS: Stop readlink() on AFS crashing due to NULL 'file' ptrDavid Howells
kAFS crashes when asked to read a symbolic link because page_getlink() passes a NULL file pointer to read_mapping_page(), but afs_readpage() expects a file pointer from which to extract a key. Modify afs_readpage() to request the appropriate key from the calling process's keyrings if a file struct is not supplied with one attached.

2009-08-27inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.Eric W. Biederman
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0' byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of event_size. Ouch! So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to do.

2009-08-27inotify: fix locking around inotify watching in the idrEric Paris
The are races around the idr storage of inotify watches. It's possible that a watch could be found from sys_inotify_rm_watch() in the idr, but it could be removed from the idr before that code does it's removal. Move the locking and the refcnt'ing so that these have to happen atomically. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-08-27inotify: do not BUG on idr entries at inotify destructionEric Paris
If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
