2010-12-16lockd: Create client-side nlm_host cacheChuck Lever
NFS clients don't need the garbage collection processing that is performed on nlm_host structures. The client picks up an nlm_host at mount time and holds a reference to it until the file system is unmounted. Servers, on the other hand, don't have a precise way to tell when an nlm_host is no longer being used, so zero refcount nlm_host entries are left to expire in the cache after a time. Basically there's nothing holding a reference to an nlm_host between individual server-side NLM requests, but we can't afford the expense of recreating them for every new NLM request from a client. The nlm_host cache adds some lifetime hysteresis to entries in the cache so the next time a particular nlm_host is needed, it's likely to be discovered by a lookup rather than created from whole cloth. With the new implementation, client nlm_host cache items are no longer garbage collected, and are destroyed directly by a new release function specialized for client entries, nlmclnt_release_host(). They are cached in their own data structure, and have their own lookup logic, simplified and specialized for client nlm_host entries. However, the client nlm_host cache still shares reboot recovery logic with the server nlm_host cache. The NSM "peer rebooted" downcall for clients and servers still come through the same RPC call. This is a legacy formal API that would be difficult to alter, and besides, the user space NSM implementation can't tell the difference between peers that are clients or servers. For this reason, the client cache continues to share the nlm_host_mutex (and reboot recovery logic) with the server cache.

2010-12-16lockd: Split nlm_release_call()Chuck Lever
The nlm_release_call() function is invoked from both the server and the client side. We're about to introduce a distinct server- and client-side nlm_release_host(), so nlm_release_call() must first be split into a client-side and a server-side version.

2010-12-16lockd: Add nlm_destroy_host_locked()Chuck Lever
Refactor the tail of nlm_gc_hosts() into nlm_destroy_host() so that this logic can be used separately from garbage collection. Rename it _locked() to document that it must be called with the hosts cache mutex held. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2010-12-16lockd: Add nlm_alloc_host()Chuck Lever
Refactor nlm_host allocation and initialization into a separate function. This will be the common piece of server and client nlm_host lookup logic after the nlm_host cache is split. Small change: use kmalloc() instead of kzalloc(), as we're overwriting almost all fields in the new nlm_host struct with non-zero values immediately after it is allocated. An added benefit is we now have an explicit reference to each field name where it is initialized (for all you cscope fans out there).

2010-12-16SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR decoder APIChuck Lever
Now that all client-side XDR decoder routines use xdr_streams, there should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *, __be32 *, RPC res *] anywhere. We can construct an xdr_stream in the generic RPC code, instead of in each decoder function. This is a refactoring change. It should not cause different behavior.

2010-12-16NFS: Simplify ->decode_dirent() calling sequenceChuck Lever
Clean up. The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a pointer. The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer. Replace the returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value. Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of as a separate parameter. It's faster to derive "server" in nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode handy. "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the same directory, right? The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.

For efficiency, we also eventually want to be able to pass xdr_streams from call_encode() and call_decode() to all XDR encoding functions, rather than building an xdr_stream in every XDR encoding and decoding function in the kernel.

This allows the compiler to choose automatically how to optimize these for size or speed. SHARE-related functionality doesn't seem to be used, as those functions are hiding behind a #define that isn't set anywhere that I can find. And, they've been in there forever (at least as far back as the kernel's git history goes), yet remain unused. Let's take the opportunity to bin them.

2010-12-16lguest: populate initial_page_tableRusty Russell
Two x86 patches broke lguest: 1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator. In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory: Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000 After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000 I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then... 2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table. This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that fixes the previous damage as well. For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but next merge window I will merge them.

2010-12-16lguest: restore boot speedRusty Russell
lguest is dumb and drops *all* the pagetables for set_pte (which is only used for kernel mapping manipulation, so it's OK without highmem). But it's used a lot in boot, too. As a guest optimization, we suppressed this flushing until the first page switch. Now we have initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic to wait until we switch to something other than the swapper_pg_dir or initial_page_table. As measured on my laptop under kvm, this dropped the time-to-mount-root from 48 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2010-12-16nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctlRyusuke Konishi
On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"), and leading to filesystem corruption. The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly overrode without being moved to new logs. This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer function to ensure it's done right.

2010-12-15install_special_mapping skips security_file_mmap check.Tavis Ormandy
The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting the available pages for special mappings. bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have the security check. $ uname -m x86_64 $ cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 65536 $ cat install_special_mapping.s section .bss resb BSS_SIZE section .text global _start _start: mov eax, __NR_pause int 0x80 $ nasm -D__NR_pause=29 -DBSS_SIZE=0xfffed000 -f elf -o install_special_mapping.o install_special_mapping.s $ ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext=0x10000 -Tbss=0x11000 -o install_special_mapping install_special_mapping.o $ ./install_special_mapping & [1] 14303 $ cat /proc/14303/maps 0000f000-00010000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 00010000-00011000 r-xp 00001000 00:19 2453665 /home/taviso/install_special_mapping 00011000-ffffe000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] It's worth noting that Red Hat are shipping with mmap_min_addr set to 4096.
