Commit 411187fb caused uptime not to increase during suspend. This may cause confusion so I restore the old behaviour by using the boot based time instead of monotonic for uptime. Signed-off-by:

Fix following races: =========================================== 1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile. pde = create_proc_entry() if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; pde->write_proc = ... open write copy_from_user pde = create_proc_entry(); if (!pde) { remove_proc_entry(); return -ENOMEM; /* module unloaded */ } *boom* ========================================== 2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes() remove_proc_entry vfs_read proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness] [check ->f_op->read validness] [verify_area, security permissions checks] ->f_op = NULL; if (file->f_op->read) /* ->f_op dereference, boom */ NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories. Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for directories may be unneeded. NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write, ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release. If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me.

invalidate_mapping_pages() can sometimes take a long time (millions of pages to free). Long enough for the softlockup detector to trigger. We used to have a cond_resched() in there but I took it out because the drop_caches code calls invalidate_mapping_pages() under inode_lock. The patch adds a nasty flag and puts the cond_resched() back. Signed-off-by:

During reorganization, the mount time debug option was removed in favor of module-load-time parameters. However, the mount time option is still a useful for feature during debug and for user-fault isolation when the module is compiled into the kernel.

This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p. It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other than VFS). Signed-off-by:

* 32bit struct xfs_fsop_bulkreq has different size and layout of members, no matter the alignment. Move the code out of the #else branch (why was it there in the first place?). Define _32 variants of the ioctl constants. * 32bit struct xfs_bstat is different because of time_t and on i386 because of different padding. Make xfs_bulkstat_one() accept a custom "output formatter" in the private_data argument which takes care of the xfs_bulkstat_one_compat() that takes care of the different layout in the compat case. * i386 struct xfs_inogrp has different padding.

Avoid using a special "zero inode" as the parent of the quota inode as this can confuse the filestreams code into thinking the quota inode has a parent. We do not want the quota inode to follow filestreams allocation rules, so pass a NULL as the parent inode and detect this condition when doing stream associations.

In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed contiguously on disk. When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time, it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate targets. This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a new AG for the stream that is not in use. The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream. Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream object and associate the new file with that object. Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy update). Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode. Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem freeze).

A check for file_count is always a bad idea. Linux has the ->release method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of a reference to a file struct. This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of simply doing the page flushing from ->release. SGI-PV: 966562 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28952a Signed-off-by:

The remount readonly path can fail to writeback properly because we still have active transactions after calling xfs_quiesce_fs().

During delayed allocation extent conversion or unwritten extent conversion, we need to reserve some blocks for transactions reservations. We need to reserve these blocks in case a btree split occurs and we need to allocate some blocks. Unfortunately, we've only ever reserved the number of data blocks we are allocating, so in both the unwritten and delalloc case we can get ENOSPC to the transaction reservation. This is bad because in both cases we cannot report the failure to the writing application. The fix is two-fold: 1 - leverage the reserved block infrastructure XFS already has to reserve a small pool of blocks by default to allow specially marked transactions to dip into when we are at ENOSPC. Default setting is min(5%, 1024 blocks). 2 - convert critical transaction reservations to be allowed to dip into this pool. Spots changed are delalloc conversion, unwritten extent conversion and growing a filesystem at ENOSPC. This also allows growing the filesytsem to succeed at ENOSPC.

When we are unmounting the filesystem, we flush all the inodes to disk. Unfortunately, if we have an inode cluster that has just been freed and marked stale sitting in an incore log buffer (i.e. hasn't been flushed to disk), it will be holding all the flush locks on the inodes in that cluster. xfs_iflush_all() which is called during unmount walks all the inodes trying to reclaim them, and it doing so calls xfs_finish_reclaim() on each inode. If the inode is dirty, if grabs the flush lock and flushes it. Unfortunately, find dirty inodes that already have their flush lock held and so we sleep. At this point in the unmount process, we are running single-threaded. There is nothing more that can push on the log to force the transaction holding the inode flush locks to disk and hence we deadlock. The fix is to issue a log force before flushing the inodes on unmount so that all the flush locks will be released before we start flushing the inodes.

If we have multiple unwritten extents within a single page, we fail to tell the I/o completion construction handlers we need a new handle for the second and subsequent blocks in the page. While we still issue the I/O correctly, we do not have the correct ranges recorded in the ioend structures and hence when we go to convert the unwritten extents we screw it up. Make sure we start a new ioend every time the mapping changes so that we convert the correct ranges on I/O completion. SGI-PV: 964647 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28797a Signed-off-by:

With the per-cpu superblock counters, batch updates are no longer atomic across the entire batch of changes. This is not an issue if each individual change in the batch is applied atomically. Unfortunately, free block count changes are not applied atomically, and they are applied in a manner guaranteed to cause problems. Essentially, the free block count reservation that the transaction took initially is returned to the in core counters before a second delta takes away what is used. because these two operations are not atomic, we can race with another thread that can use the returned transaction reservation before the transaction takes the space away again and we can then get ENOSPC being reported in a spot where we don't have an ENOSPC condition, nor should we ever see one there. Fix it up by rolling the two deltas into the one so it can be applied safely (i.e. atomically) to the incore counters. SGI-PV: 964465 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28796a Signed-off-by:

Currently we do not wait on extent conversion to occur, and hence we can return to userspace from a synchronous direct I/O write without having completed all the actions in the write. Hence a read after the write may see zeroes (unwritten extent) rather than the data that was written. Block the I/O completion by triggering a synchronous workqueue flush to ensure that the conversion has occurred before we return to userspace.

When processing multiple extent maps, xfs_bmapi needs to keep track of the extent behind the one it is currently working on to be able to trim extent ranges correctly. Failing to update the previous pointer can result in corrupted extent lists in memory and this will result in panics or assert failures. Update the previous pointer correctly when we move to the next extent to process. SGI-PV: 965631 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28773a Signed-off-by:

When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all typically modify the on disk superblock in some way. create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify free block counts. When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock buffer becomes a bottleneck. The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock buffer, the slower things go. The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction. In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every sync period or just before unmount. This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log recovery has been performed. It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information; after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do not change under normal operation. One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters. This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full, the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*. As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily.... SGI-PV: 964999 SGI-Modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:28652a Signed-off-by:

If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend) the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the file size is never seen to change.
