Al Viro ebfc3b49a7 don't pass nameidata to ->create()
boolean "does it have to be exclusive?" flag is passed instead;
Local filesystem should just ignore it - the object is guaranteed
not to be there yet.

Hugh Dickins b065b4321f shmem: cleanup shmem_add_to_page_cache
shmem_add_to_page_cache() has three callsites, but only one of them wants
the radix_tree_preload() (an exceptional entry guarantees that the radix
tree node is present in the other cases), and only that site can achieve
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() (PageSwapCache makes it a no-op in the
other cases).  We did it this way originally to reflect
add_to_page_cache_locked(); but it's confusing now, so move the radix_tree
preloading and mem_cgroup uncharging to that one caller.

Hugh Dickins d189922862 shmem: fix negative rss in memcg memory.stat
When adding the page_private checks before calling shmem_replace_page(), I
did realize that there is a further race, but thought it too unlikely to
need a hurried fix.

But independently I've been chasing why a mem cgroup's memory.stat
sometimes shows negative rss after all tasks have gone: I expected it to
be a stats gathering bug, but actually it's shmem swapping's fault.

It's an old surprise, that when you lock_page(lookup_swap_cache(swap)),
the page may have been removed from swapcache before getting the lock; or
it may have been freed and reused and be back in swapcache; and it can
even be using the same swap location as before (page_private same).

The swapoff case is already secure against this (swap cannot be reused
until the whole area has been swapped off, and a new swapped on); and
shmem_getpage_gfp() is protected by shmem_add_to_page_cache()'s check for
the expected radix_tree entry - but a little too late.

By that time, we might have already decided to shmem_replace_page(): I
don't know of a problem from that, but I'd feel more at ease not to do so
spuriously.  And we have already done mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), on
perhaps the wrong mem cgroup: and this charge is not then undone on the
error path, because PageSwapCache ends up preventing that.

It's this last case which causes the occasional negative rss in
memory.stat: the page is charged here as cache, but (sometimes) found to
be anon when eventually it's uncharged - and in between, it's an
undeserved charge on the wrong memcg.

Fix this by adding an earlier check on the radix_tree entry: it's
inelegant to descend the tree twice, but swapping is not the fast path,
and a better solution would need a pair (try+commit) of memcg calls, and a
rework of shmem_replace_page() to keep out of the swapcache.

We can use the added shmem_confirm_swap() function to replace the
find_get_page+page_cache_release we were already doing on the error path.
And add a comment on that -EEXIST: it seems a peculiar errno to be using,
but originates from its use in radix_tree_insert().

[It can be surprising to see positive rss left in a memcg's memory.stat
after all tasks have gone, since it is supposed to count anonymous but not
shmem.  Aside from sharing anon pages via fork with a task in some other
memcg, it often happens after swapping: because a swap page can't be freed
while under writeback, nor while locked.  So it's not an error, and these
residual pages are easily freed once pressure demands.]

Hugh Dickins f21f806220 tmpfs: revert SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE
Revert 4fb5ef089b ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE").  I believe
it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6; but as the
original commit said:

I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
would be of any use to them on tmpfs.  This code adds 92 lines and 752
bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile?

Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs to
the dumb generic support for v3.5.  We can always reinstate it later if
useful, and anyone needing it in a hurry can just get it out of git.

Eric Dumazet 047fe36052 splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()

commit 35f3d14dbb (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.

Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.

splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

Hugh Dickins 4fb5ef089b tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE
It's quite easy for tmpfs to scan the radix_tree to support llseek's new
SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE options: so add them while the minutiae are still

still unwritten).

But I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
would be of any use to them on tmpfs.  This code adds 92 lines and 752

Hugh Dickins 1aac140031 tmpfs: quit when fallocate fills memory
As it stands, a large fallocate() on tmpfs is liable to fill memory with
pages, freed on failure except when they run into swap, at which point
they become fixed into the file despite the failure.  That feels quite
wrong, to be consuming resources precisely when they're in short supply.

Go the other way instead: shmem_fallocate() indicate the range it has
fallocated to shmem_writepage(), keeping count of pages it's allocating;
shmem_writepage() reactivate instead of swapping out pages fallocated by
this syscall (but happily swap out those from earlier occasions), keeping
count; shmem_fallocate() compare counts and give up once the reactivated
pages have started to coming back to writepage (approximately: some zones
would in fact recycle faster than others).

This is a little unusual, but works well: although we could consider the
failure to swap as a bug, and fix it later with SWAP_MAP_FALLOC handling
added in swapfile.c and memcontrol.c, I doubt that we shall ever want to.

(If there's no swap, an over-large fallocate() on tmpfs is limited in the
same way as writing: stopped by rlimit, or by tmpfs mount size if that was
set sensibly, or by __vm_enough_memory() heuristics if OVERCOMMIT_GUESS or
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.  If OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS, then it is liable to OOM-kill
others as writing would, but stops and frees if interrupted.)

Now that everything is freed on failure, we can then skip updating ctime.

Hugh Dickins 1635f6a741 tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure
In the previous episode, we left the already-fallocated pages attached to
the file when shmem_fallocate() fails part way through.

Now try to do better, by extending the earlier optimization of !Uptodate
pages (then always under page lock) to !Uptodate pages (outside of page
lock), representing fallocated pages.  And don't waste time clearing them
at the time of fallocate(), leave that until later if necessary.

Adapt shmem_truncate_range() to shmem_undo_range(), so that a failing
fallocate can recognize and remove precisely those !Uptodate allocations
which it added (and were not independently allocated by racing tasks).

But unless we start playing with swapfile.c and memcontrol.c too, once one
of our fallocated pages reaches shmem_writepage(), we do then have to
instantiate it as an ordinarily allocated page, before swapping out.  This
is unsatisfactory, but improved in the next episode.

Hugh Dickins e2d12e22c5 tmpfs: support fallocate preallocation
The systemd plumbers expressed a wish that tmpfs support preallocation.
Cong Wang wrote a patch, but several kernel guys expressed scepticism:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/18/137

Christoph Hellwig: What for exactly? Please explain why preallocating on
tmpfs would make any sense.

Kay Sievers: To be able to safely use mmap(), regarding SIGBUS, on files
on the /dev/shm filesystem.  The glibc fallback loop for -ENOSYS [or
-EOPNOTSUPP] on fallocate is just ugly.

Hugh Dickins: If tmpfs is going to support
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), it would seem perverse to permit the
deallocation but fail the allocation.  Christoph Hellwig: Agreed.

Now that we do have shmem_fallocate() for hole-punching, plumb in basic
support for preallocation mode too.  It's fairly straightforward (though
quite a few details needed attention), except for when it fails part way
through.  What a pity that fallocate(2) was not specified to return the
length allocated, permitting short fallocations!

As it is, when it fails part way through, we ought to free what has just
been allocated by this system call; but must be very sure not to free any
allocated earlier, or any allocated by racing accesses (not all excluded
by i_mutex).

But we cannot distinguish them: so in this patch simply leak allocations
on partial failure (they will be freed later if the file is removed).

An attractive alternative approach would have been for fallocate() not to
allocate pages at all, but note reservations by entries in the radix-tree.
 But that would give less assurance, and, critically, would be hard to fit
with mem cgroups (who owns the reservations?): allocating pages lets
fallocate() behave in just the same way as write().

But nowadays fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,,) is

So add shmem_fallocate() to support that, and tweak shmem_truncate_range()
to support partial pages at both the beginning and end of range (never
needed for madvise, which demands rounded addr and rounds up length).

Hugh Dickins ec9516fbc5 tmpfs: optimize clearing when writing
Nick proposed years ago that tmpfs should avoid clearing its pages where
write will overwrite them with new data, as ramfs has long done.  But I
messed it up and just got bad data.  Tried again recently, it works
fine.

Here's time output for writing 4GiB 16 times on this Core i5 laptop:

before: real	0m21.169s user	0m0.028s sys	0m21.057s
        real	0m21.382s user	0m0.016s sys	0m21.289s
        real	0m21.311s user	0m0.020s sys	0m21.217s

after:  real	0m18.273s user	0m0.032s sys	0m18.165s
        real	0m18.354s user	0m0.020s sys	0m18.265s
        real	0m18.440s user	0m0.032s sys	0m18.337s

ramfs:  real	0m16.860s user	0m0.028s sys	0m16.765s
        real	0m17.382s user	0m0.040s sys	0m17.273s
        real	0m17.133s user	0m0.044s sys	0m17.021s

Yes, I have done perf reports, but they need more explanation than they
deserve: in summary, clear_page vanishes, its cache loading shifts into
copy_user_generic_unrolled; shmem_getpage_gfp goes down, and
surprisingly mark_page_accessed goes way up - I think because they are
respectively where the cache gets to be reloaded after being purged by
clear or copy.

Hugh Dickins bde05d1ccd shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB.  Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.

shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in.  When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.

We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).

This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.

Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy).  And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.

It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

Hugh Dickins 245132643e SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swap
Commit cc39c6a9bb ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in
find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem
that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to
mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries.

The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(),
called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages().  The first is already commented, and
not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the
Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking.

Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the
swap) instead of pagevec_lookup().

But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor
shmem.c with LRU locking.  So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into
shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename
check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping
down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock.

Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from
when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed
handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU.

Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then
test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're
under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

Hugh Dickins 85046579bd SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible section
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages
evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked.  It does this with
pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of
memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here.  A cond_resched() every
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good.

However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's
info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks.
There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the
unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it.

So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's
unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling.  Remove the recently
added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan.

Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference
to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something
that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock().

Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK
time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves
no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since
pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable.

The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag
at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED.

The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked
area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks
which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let
inode eviction deal with them.

Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages()
under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used),
more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

Minchan Kim 21ee9f398b vmscan: add barrier to prevent evictable page in unevictable list
When a race between putback_lru_page() and shmem_lock with lock=0 happens,
progrom execution order is as follows, but clear_bit in processor #1 could
be reordered right before spin_unlock of processor #1.  Then, the page
would be stranded on the unevictable list.

spin_lock
SetPageLRU
spin_unlock
                                clear_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
                                spin_lock
                                if PageLRU()
                                        if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
                                        	move evictable list
smp_mb
if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
        move evictable list
                                spin_unlock

But, pagevec_lookup() in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() has
rcu_read_[un]lock() so it could protect reordering before reaching
test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE) on processor #1 so this problem never happens.
But it's a unexpected side effect and we should solve this problem
properly.

This patch adds a barrier after mapping_clear_unevictable.

I didn't meet this problem but just found during review.

Hugh Dickins e504f3fdd6 tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoff
We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.

But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
my testing.

Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.

I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.

The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
target entry.  Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).

So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place.  #ifdef it on
CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
applicability as save space in other configurations.  And, sadly,
#include sched.h for cond_resched().

Hugh Dickins 69f07ec938 tmpfs: use kmemdup for short symlinks
But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from
shmem_inode_info.  That's because it was still being shared with the
inline symlink.  Remove it now (saving 64 or 128 bytes from shmem inode
size), and use kmemdup() for short symlinks, say, those up to 128 bytes.

I wonder why mpol_free_shared_policy() is done in shmem_destroy_inode()
rather than shmem_evict_inode(), where we usually do such freeing? I
guess it doesn't matter, and I'm not into NUMA mpol testing right now.

Hugh Dickins 6922c0c7ab tmpfs: convert shmem_writepage and enable swap
Convert shmem_writepage() to use shmem_delete_from_page_cache() to use
shmem_radix_tree_replace() to substitute swap entry for page pointer
atomically in the radix tree.

As with shmem_add_to_page_cache(), it's not entirely satisfactory to be
copying such code from delete_from_swap_cache, but again judged easier
to sell than making its other callers go through the extras.

Remove the toy implementation's shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(),
now unreferenced, and the hack to disable swap: it's now good to go.

The way things have worked out, info->lock no longer helps to guard the
shmem_swaplist: we increment swapped under shmem_swaplist_mutex only.
That global mutex exclusion between shmem_writepage() and shmem_unuse()
is not pretty, and we ought to find another way; but it's been forced on
us by recent race discoveries, not a consequence of this patchset.

And what has become of the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) free_swap_and_cache() if a
swap entry was found already present? That's no longer possible, the
(unknown) one inserting this page into filecache would hit the swap
entry occupying that slot.

Hugh Dickins aa3b189551 tmpfs: convert mem_cgroup shmem to radix-swap
Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we
had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by
moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three
callers.  But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error:
although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle.

These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start
using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test
radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself.

Hugh Dickins 54af604218 tmpfs: convert shmem_getpage_gfp to radix-swap
Convert shmem_getpage_gfp(), the engine-room of shmem, to expect page or
swap entry returned from radix tree by find_lock_page().

Whereas the repetitive old method proceeded mainly under info->lock,
dropping and repeating whenever one of the conditions needed was not
met, now we can proceed without it, leaving shmem_add_to_page_cache() to
check for a race.

This way there is no need to preallocate a page, no need for an early
radix_tree_preload(), no need for mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback().

Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it
throughout.  ENOSPC handling is a little different from before: there is
no longer any race between find_lock_page() and finding swap, but we can
arrive at ENOSPC before calling shmem_recalc_inode(), which might
occasionally discover freed space.

Be stricter to check i_size before returning.  info->lock is used for
little but alloced, swapped, i_blocks updates.  Move i_blocks updates
out from under the max_blocks check, so even an unlimited size=0 mount
can show accurate du.

Hugh Dickins 46f65ec15c tmpfs: convert shmem_unuse_inode to radix-swap
Convert shmem_unuse_inode() to use a lockless gang lookup of the radix
tree, searching for matching swap.

This is somewhat slower than the old method: because of repeated radix
tree descents, because of copying entries up, but probably most because
the old method noted and skipped once a vector page was cleared of swap.
Perhaps we can devise a use of radix tree tagging to achieve that later.

shmem_add_to_page_cache() uses shmem_radix_tree_replace() to compensate
for the lockless lookup by checking that the expected entry is in place,
under lock.  It is not very satisfactory to be copying this much from
add_to_page_cache_locked(), but I think easier to sell than insisting
that every caller of add_to_page_cache*() go through the extras.

Hugh Dickins 7a5d0fbb29 tmpfs: convert shmem_truncate_range to radix-swap
Disable the toy swapping implementation in shmem_writepage() - it's hard
to support two schemes at once - and convert shmem_truncate_range() to a
lockless gang lookup of swap entries along with pages, freeing both.

Since the second loop tightens its noose until all entries of either
kind have been squeezed out (and we shall make sure that there's not an
instant when neither is visible), there is no longer a need for yet
another pass below.

shmem_radix_tree_replace() compensates for the lockless lookup by
checking that the expected entry is in place, under lock, before
replacing it.  Here it just deletes, but will be used in later patches
to substitute swap entry for page or page for swap entry.
