Benny Halevy e5e940170b NFS: create and destroy inode's layout cache
At the start of the io paths, try to grab the relevant layout
information.  This will initiate the inode's layout cache, but
stubs ensure the cache stays empty.

Ricardo Labiaga 6b96724e50 Revalidate caches on lock
Instead of blindly zapping the caches, attempt to revalidate them if
the server has indicated that it uses high resolution timestamps.

NFSv4 should be able to always revalidate the cache since the
protocol requires the update of the change attribute on modification of
the data.  In reality, there are servers (the Linux NFS server
for example) that do not obey this requirement and use ctime as the
basis for change attribute.  Long term, the server needs to be fixed.
At this time, and to be on the safe side, continue zapping caches if
the server indicates that it does not have a high resolution timestamp.

In the case where we lock the page, and then find out that the page has
been thrown out of the page cache, we should just return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE.
This is what block_page_mkwrite() does in these situations.

Suresh Jayaraman 5eebde2322 nfs: introduce mount option '-olocal_lock' to make locks local
NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range
locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock
(share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on
the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked.
The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files
on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer.

Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were
considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount
option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values:

   'none'  		- Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local
   'flock' 		- flock locks are local
   'posix' 		- fcntl/POSIX locks are local
   'all'		- Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local

Testing:

   - This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values
     and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured.

     'none'  - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock
   	       was granted, fcntl was denied
     'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(),
   	       granted
     'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl()
     'all'   - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl()

   - No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4
     reboot recovery.

Fabio Olive Leite b1bde04c6d Remove incorrect do_vfs_lock message
The do_vfs_lock function on fs/nfs/file.c is only called if NLM is
not being used, via the -onolock mount option. Therefore it cannot
really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking
function called returns an error, as there will be no corresponding
call to the NLM. For details, simply check the if/else on do_setlk
and do_unlk on fs/nfs/file.c.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Currently, the NFS I/O counters count the number of bytes requested

The number of bytes requested for reads is actually not that useful,
because the value is usually a buffer size for reads.  That is, that
requested number is usually a maximum, and frequently doesn't reflect
the actual number of bytes read.

Christoph Hellwig 6b2f3d1f76 vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.

This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.

This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.

We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.

Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Peter Staubach 38c73044f5 NFS: read-modify-write page updating
Hi.

I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue.

I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the
Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages.

The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by
allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from
the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the
offset and length of the modified portions of the page.  The
page is not marked as up to date because there are portions
of the page which do not contain valid file contents.

When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the
contents of the page must be read in the from the server.
However, since the page may already contain some modified
data, that modified data must be written to the server
before the file contents can be read back in the from server.
And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically,
the data must be written and committed to stable storage on
the server for safety purposes.  This means either a
FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT.
This has been discussed at length previously.

This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read.  It
is most efficient when the application only updates pages
and does not read them.

My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether
to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read-
modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page
in the write system call path.  The heuristic uses the modes
that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to
read from, and the size of the region to read.

If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing
and the page would not be filled completely with data from
the user level, then read in the old contents of the page
and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data.  If
the page would be completely filled with data from the user
level, then there would be no reason to read in the old
contents because they would just be copied over.

This would optimize for applications which randomly access
and update portions of files.  The linkage editor for the
C compiler is an example of such a thing.

I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the
current Fedora rawhide kernel.  The kernel without the
patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests.  The modified
kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE
requests.  Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were
generated.  I suspect that many of these additional
WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE
a single page, but I didn't test this theory.

The difference between this patch and the previous one was
to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test.  I then retested to
ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as
desired.

	Thanx...

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Trond Myklebust 7fe5c398fc NFS: Optimise NFS close()
Close-to-open cache consistency rules really only require us to flush out
writes on calls to close(), and require us to revalidate attributes on the
very last close of the file.

Currently we appear to be doing a lot of extra attribute revalidation
and cache flushes.

Trond Myklebust 72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Nick Piggin 54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

Trond Myklebust d5e66348bb NFS: Fix nfs_file_llseek()
After the BKL removal patches were applied to the rest of the NFS code, the
BKL protection in nfs_file_llseek() is no longer sufficient to ensure that
inode->i_size is read safely in generic_file_llseek_unlocked().

In order to fix the situation, we either have to replace the naked read of
inode->i_size in generic_file_llseek_unlocked() with i_size_read(), or the
whole thing needs to be executed under the inode->i_lock;
In order to avoid disrupting other filesystems, avoid touching
generic_file_llseek_unlocked() for now...

Trond Myklebust 2116271a34 NFS: Add correct bounds checking to NFSv2 locks
NFSv2 file locking currently fails the Connectathon tests, because the
calls to the VFS locking code do not return an EINVAL error if the
struct file_lock overflows the 32-bit boundaries.

The problem is due to the fact that we occasionally call helpers from
fs/locks.c in order to avoid RPC calls to the server when we know that a
local process holds the lock. These helpers are, of course, always
64-bit enabled, so EINVAL is not returned in cases when it would if
the call had gone to the NLM code.

For consistency, we therefore add support for a bounds-checking helper.

Andi Kleen 9465efc9e9 Remove BKL from remote_llseek v2
- Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation
failures in all users)
- Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or
take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL
for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS
take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now.

I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification
is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who
modify it without BKL.

Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks?

Trond says the NFS BKL is likely not needed, but keep it for now
until his full audit.

v2: Use generic_file_llseek_unlocked instead of remote_llseek_unlocked
    and factor duplicated code (suggested by hch)

Trond Myklebust 1b3b4a1a2d NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()
Ryusuke Konishi says:

The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        ...
        cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);  <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20

        if (PagePrivate(page))
                do_invalidatepage(page, 0);   ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
        ...
}

and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling 
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.

int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
        ...
        if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
                ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto out;
        }
        ...
}

Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------

Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.

Alexey Dobriyan e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Arjan van de Ven 92e1d5be91 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Neil Brown 46bae1a9a7 [PATCH] Remove warning: VFS is out of sync with lock manager
But keep it as a dprintk

The message can be generated in a quite normal situation:
 If a 'lock' request is interrupted, then the lock client needs to
  record that the server has the lock, incase it does.
 When we come the unlock, the server might say it doesn't, even
  though we think it does (or might) and this generates the message.

Trond Myklebust e3db7691e9 [PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()

    invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
    owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
    Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
    can no longer be dirtied.
    In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
    to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
    call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
    reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
    to the inode or dentry.

    Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
    attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

    Also, the bare SetPageDirty() can skew all sort of accounting leading to
    other nasties.

Miklos Szeredi 75e1fcc0b1 [PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operation
Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.

This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally.  FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.

Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

posix_test_lock() returns a pointer to a struct file_lock which is unprotected
and can be removed while in use by the caller.  Move the conflicting lock from
the return to a parameter, and copy the conflicting lock.

In most cases the caller ends up putting the copy of the conflicting lock on
the stack.  On i386, sizeof(struct file_lock) appears to be about 100 bytes.
We're assuming that's reasonable.

Trond Myklebust cd52ed3553 NFS: Avoid races between writebacks and truncation
Currently, there is no serialisation between NFS asynchronous writebacks
and truncation at the page level due to the fact that nfs_sync_inode()
cannot lock the pages that it is about to write out.

This means that it is possible to be flushing out data (and calling something
like set_page_writeback()) while the page cache is busy evicting the page.
Oops...

Use the hooks provided in try_to_release_page() to ensure that dirty pages
are always written back to storage before we evict them.
