2011-07-20fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

This patch separates out all the budgeting-related information from 'struct ubifs_info' to 'struct ubifs_budg_info'. This way the code looks a bit cleaner. However, the main driver for this is that we want to save budgeting information and print it later, so a separate data structure for this is helpful.

2011-04-13UBIFS: fix oops when R/O file-system is fsync'edArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system if it is read-only, but this is not the case. It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script: use strict; use File::Sync qw(fsync sync); die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0]; my $path = $ARGV[0]; open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!"; fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!"; close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!"; Thanks to Reuben Dowle <Reuben.Dowle@navico.com> for reporting about this issue.

2011-03-24UBIFS: fix assertion warning and refine commentsArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes the following UBIFS assertion warning: UBIFS assert failed in do_readpage at 115 (pid 199) [<b00321b8>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xdc) from [<af025118>] (do_readpage+0x108/0x594 [ubifs]) [<af025118>] (do_readpage+0x108/0x594 [ubifs]) from [<af025764>] (ubifs_write_end+0x1c0/0x2e8 [ubifs]) [<af025764>] (ubifs_write_end+0x1c0/0x2e8 [ubifs]) from [<b00a0164>] (generic_file_buffered_write+0x18c/0x270) [<b00a0164>] (generic_file_buffered_write+0x18c/0x270) from [<b00a08d4>] (__generic_file_aio_write+0x478/0x4c0) [<b00a08d4>] (__generic_file_aio_write+0x478/0x4c0) from [<b00a0984>] (generic_file_aio_write+0x68/0xc8) [<b00a0984>] (generic_file_aio_write+0x68/0xc8) from [<af024a78>] (ubifs_aio_write+0x178/0x1d8 [ubifs]) [<af024a78>] (ubifs_aio_write+0x178/0x1d8 [ubifs]) from [<b00d104c>] (do_sync_write+0xb0/0x100) [<b00d104c>] (do_sync_write+0xb0/0x100) from [<b00d1abc>] (vfs_write+0xac/0x154) [<b00d1abc>] (vfs_write+0xac/0x154) from [<b00d1c10>] (sys_write+0x3c/0x68) [<b00d1c10>] (sys_write+0x3c/0x68) from [<b002d9a0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x2c) The 'PG_checked' flag is used to indicate that the page does not supposedly exist on the media (e.g., a hole or a page beyond the inode size), so it requires slightly bigger budget, because we have to account the indexing size increase. And this flag basically tells that the budget for this page has to be "new page budget". The "new page budget" is slightly bigger than the "existing page budget". The 'do_readpage()' function has the following assertion which sometimes is hit: 'ubifs_assert(!PageChecked(page))'. Obviously, the meaning of this assertion is: "I should not be asked to read a page which does not exist on the media". However, in 'ubifs_write_begin()' we have a small "trick". Notice, that VFS may write pages which were not read yet, so the page data were not loaded from the media to the page cache yet. If VFS tells that it is going to change only some part of the page, we obviously have to load it from the media. However, if VFS tells that it is going to change whole page, we do not read it from the media for optimization purposes. However, since we do not read it, we do not know if it exists on the media or not (a hole, etc). So we set the 'PG_checked' flag to this page to force bigger budget, just in case. So 'ubifs_write_begin()' sets 'PG_checked'. Then we are in 'ubifs_write_end()'. And VFS tells us: "hey, for some reasons I changed my mind and did not change whole page". Frankly, I do not know why this happens, but I hit this somehow on an ARM platform. And this is extremely rare. So in this case UBIFS does the following: 1. Cancels allocated budget. 2. Loads the page from the media by calling 'do_readpage()'. 3. Asks VFS to repeat the whole write operation from the very beginning (call '->write_begin() again, etc). And the assertion warning is hit at the step 2 - remember we have the 'PG_checked' set for this page, and 'do_readpage()' does not like this. So this patch fixes the problem by adding step 1.5 and cleaning the 'PG_checked' before calling 'do_readpage()'. All in all, this patch does not fix any functionality issue, but it silences UBIFS false positive warning which may happen in very very rare cases. And while on it, this patch also improves a commentary which explains the reasons of setting the 'PG_checked' flag for the page. The old commentary was a bit difficult to understand.

2010-09-19UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2010-09-17UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy
The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-08-09check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_okChristoph Hellwig
Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway. Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
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.

2009-03-14UBIFS: fix bug where page is marked uptodate when out of spaceAdrian Hunter
UBIFS fast path in write_begin may mark a page up to date and then discover that there may not be enough space to do the write, and so fall back to a slow path. The slow path tries harder, but may still find no space - leaving the page marked up to date, when it is not. This patch ensures that the page is marked not up to date in that case. The bug that this patch fixes becomes evident when the write is into a hole (sparse file) or is at the end of the file and a subsequent read is off the end of the file. In both cases, the file system should return zeros but was instead returning the page that had not been written because the file system was out of space.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
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).

2008-11-21UBIFS: pre-allocate bulk-read bufferArtem Bityutskiy
To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not do any memory allocation.

2008-11-21UBIFS: do not allocate too muchArtem Bityutskiy
Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard (non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of allocating 128KiB every time. This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could path either pre-allocated or allocated information to 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-09-30UBIFS: fix bulk-read handling uptodate pagesAdrian Hunter
Bulk-read skips uptodate pages but this was putting its array index out and causing it to treat subsequent pages as holes. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>

2008-09-30UBIFS: add bulk-read facilityAdrian Hunter
Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates. UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located consecutively in the same LEB. Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to 19 MiB/s. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com>
2008-08-21UBIFS: fix zero-length truncationsArtem Bityutskiy
Always allow truncations to zero, even if budgeting thinks there is no space. UBIFS reserves some space for deletions anyway. Otherwise, the following happans: 1. create a file, and write as much as possible there, until ENOSPC 2. truncate the file, which fails with ENOSPC, which is not good.

2008-08-13UBIFS: align inode data to eightArtem Bityutskiy
UBIFS aligns node lengths to 8, so budgeting has to do the same. Well, direntry, inode, and page budgets are already aligned, but not inode data budget (e.g., data in special devices or symlinks). Do this for inode data as well. Also, add corresponding debugging checks. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
