Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.

These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.

2013-09-03Merge branch 'lockref' (locked reference counts)Linus Torvalds2-27/+80
Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long. I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for those preparatory patches. The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count" that allows optimized reference count accesses. In particular, it guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually having to take the lock. This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads. When updating the dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than actually having to spin waiting for the lock. * lockref: lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg() lockref: uninline lockref helper functions vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock() vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent() lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper
2013-09-02vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()Linus Torvalds2-27/+65
This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead. It also adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk. We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the sequence count just once. That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup possible.

2013-09-02vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()Waiman Long1-0/+15
A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming changing the parent from under us. We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the parent pointer after getting a valid reference. [ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount". I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier patch - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-08-28vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructureWaiman Long2-37/+26
This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure. There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic. The reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use "d_lockref.count" instead. This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window. [ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors goes to me. Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic changes. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-08-28ext4: allow specifying external journal by pathname mount optionEric Sandeen1-3/+44
It's always been a hassle that if an external journal's device number changes, the filesystem won't mount. And since boot-time enumeration can change, device number changes aren't unusual. The current mechanism to update the journal location is by passing in a mount option w/ a new devnum, but that's a hassle; it's a manual approach, fixing things after the fact. Adding a mount option, "-o journal_path=/dev/$DEVICE" would help, since then we can do i.e. # mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/$JOURNAL_LABEL ... and it'll mount even if the devnum has changed, as shown here: # losetup /dev/loop0 journalfile # mke2fs -L mylabel-journal -O journal_dev /dev/loop0 # mkfs.ext4 -L mylabel -J device=/dev/loop0 /dev/sdb1 Change the journal device number: # losetup -d /dev/loop0 # losetup /dev/loop1 journalfile And today it will fail: # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so # dmesg | tail -n 1 [17343.240702] EXT4-fs (sdb1): error: couldn't read superblock of external journal But with this new mount option, we can specify the new path: # mount -o journal_path=/dev/loop1 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test # (which does update the encoded device number, incidentally): # umount /dev/sdb1 # dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Journal device" dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Journal device: 0x0701 But best of all we can just always mount by journal-path, and it'll always work: # mount -o journal_path=/dev/disk/by-label/mylabel-journal /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test # So the journal_path option can be specified in fstab, and as long as the disk is available somewhere, and findable by label (or by UUID), we can mount.

2013-08-28ext4: mark group corrupt on group descriptor checksumDarrick J. Wong2-11/+8
If the group descriptor fails validation, mark the whole blockgroup corrupt so that the inode/block allocators skip this group. The previous approach takes the risk of writing to a damaged group descriptor; hopefully it was never the case that the [ib]bitmap fields pointed to another valid block and got dirtied, since the memset would fill the page with 1s.

2013-08-28ext4: mark block group as corrupt on block bitmap errorDarrick J. Wong3-3/+31
When we notice a block-bitmap corruption (because of device failure or something else), we should mark this group as corrupt and prevent further block allocations/deallocations from it. Currently, we end up generating one error message for every block in the bitmap. This potentially could make the system unstable as noticed in some bugs. With this patch, the error will be printed only the first time and mark the entire block group as corrupted. This prevents future access allocations/deallocations from it. Also tested by corrupting the block bitmap and forcefully introducing the mb_free_blocks error: (1) create a largefile (2Gb) $ dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile oflag=direct bs=10485760 count=200 (2) umount filesystem. use dumpe2fs to see which block-bitmaps are in use by largefile and note their block numbers (3) use dd to zero-out the used block bitmaps $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc4 bs=4096 seek=14 count=8 oflag=direct (4) mount the FS and delete the largefile. (5) recreate the largefile. verify that the new largefile does not get any blocks from the groups marked as bad. Without the patch, we will see mb_free_blocks error for each bit in each zero'ed out bitmap at (4). With the patch, we only see the error once per blockgroup: [ 309.706803] EXT4-fs error (device sdb4): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:735: group 15: 32768 clusters in bitmap, 0 in gd. blk grp corrupted.

2013-08-28ext4: error out if verifying the block bitmap failsDarrick J. Wong1-2/+6
The block bitmap verification code assumes that calling ext4_error() either panics the system or makes the fs readonly. However, this is not always true: when 'errors=continue' is specified, an error is printed but we don't return any indication of error to the caller, which is (probably) the block allocator, which pretends that the crud we read in off the disk is a usable bitmap. Yuck. A block bitmap that fails the check should at least return no bitmap to the caller. The block allocator should be told to go look in a different group, but that's a separate issue. The easiest way to reproduce this is to modify bg_block_bitmap (on a ^flex_bg fs) to point to a block outside the block group; or you can create a metadata_csum filesystem and zero out the block bitmaps.

This reverts commit bb2314b47996491bbc5add73633905c3120b6268. It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now. It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink() isn't new. But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path lookup of the source for those kinds of environments. We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11 and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

2013-08-24VFS: collect_mounts() should return an ERR_PTRDan Carpenter1-1/+1
This should actually be returning an ERR_PTR on error instead of NULL. That was how it was designed and all the callers expect it. [AV: actually, that's what "VFS: Make clone_mnt()/copy_tree()/collect_mounts() return errors" missed - originally collect_mounts() was expected to return NULL on failure] Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.10+ Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2013-08-24cope with potentially long ->d_dname() output for shmem/hugetlbAl Viro2-7/+12
dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those guys.

2013-08-23nilfs2: fix issue with counting number of bio requests for BIO_EOPNOTSUPP ↵Vyacheslav Dubeyko1-1/+1
error detection Fix the issue with improper counting number of flying bio requests for BIO_EOPNOTSUPP error detection case. The sb_nbio must be incremented exactly the same number of times as complete() function was called (or will be called) because nilfs_segbuf_wait() will call wail_for_completion() for the number of times set to sb_nbio: do { wait_for_completion(&segbuf->sb_bio_event); } while (--segbuf->sb_nbio > 0); Two functions complete() and wait_for_completion() must be called the same number of times for the same sb_bio_event. Otherwise, wait_for_completion() will hang or leak.
