Nick Piggin 99b7db7b8f fs: brlock vfsmount_lock
fs: brlock vfsmount_lock

Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever
modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when
performing mount hash lookups.

A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take
the heavy vfsmount write-lock.

The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though
code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be
much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting
in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where
scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock).

The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node
Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark
(mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it
took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

Al Viro 796a6b521d Kill CL_PROPAGATION, sanitize fs/pnode.c:get_source()
First of all, get_source() never results in CL_PROPAGATION
alone.  We either get CL_MAKE_SHARED (for the continuation
of peer group) or CL_SLAVE (slave that is not shared) or both
(beginning of peer group among slaves).  Massage the code to
make that explicit, kill CL_PROPAGATION test in clone_mnt()
(nothing sets CL_MAKE_SHARED without CL_PROPAGATION and in
clone_mnt() we are checking CL_PROPAGATION after we'd found
that there's no CL_SLAVE, so the check for CL_MAKE_SHARED
would do just as well).

Fix comments, while we are at it...

Miklos Szeredi 719f5d7f0b [patch 4/7] vfs: mountinfo: add mount peer group ID
Add a unique ID to each peer group using the IDR infrastructure.  The
identifiers are reused after the peer group dissolves.

The IDR structures are protected by holding namepspace_sem for write
while allocating or deallocating IDs.

IDs are allocated when a previously unshared vfsmount becomes the
first member of a peer group.  When a new member is added to an
existing group, the ID is copied from one of the old members.

IDs are freed when the last member of a peer group is unshared.

Setting the MNT_SHARED flag on members of a subtree is done as a
separate step, after all the IDs have been allocated.  This way an
allocation failure can be cleaned up easilty, without affecting the
propagation state.

Based on design sketch by Al Viro.

Andries E. Brouwer 0b03cfb25f MNT_UNBINDABLE fix
Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about
MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount
--make-private".

Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and
both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in
the above (and again below).

So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded
as buggy.

Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.

Specification in mount(8):
    ...  It's
    also possible to  set  up  uni-directional  propagation  (with  --make-
    slave),  to  make  a  mount  point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
    --make-unbindable), and to undo any  of  these  (with  --make-private).

Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):

Pavel Emelianov b5e618181a Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like

   foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);

are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro

   list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
             list_entry((head)->next, type, member)

Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
 If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

Ram Pai 9676f0c638 [PATCH] unbindable mounts
An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation.  Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts.  The semantics is as follows.

Bind semantics:
  It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.

Move semantics:
  It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.

Clone-namespace semantics:
  If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
  cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too.  Note:
  there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
  but can be cloned during clone-namespace.
