cachefiles: fix the race between cachefiles_bury_object() and rmdir(2)

2018-11-10T15:49:45+00:00

commit 169b803397499be85bdd1e3d07d6f5e3d4bd669e upstream. the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename(); unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's still the child of what used to be its parent. Unfortunately, the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its ->d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc. So we sail all the way to ->rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory. The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.

cachefiles: Wait rather than BUG'ing on "Unexpected object collision"

2018-07-25T13:49:00+00:00

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging information about it and the new object. Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared on the old object (or return an error). The ACTIVE flag should be cleared after it has been removed from the active object tree. A timeout of 60s is used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

cachefiles: Fix missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag

2018-07-25T13:49:00+00:00

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and then we try to add it to the active object tree. If a conflicting object is already present, we want to wait for that to go away. After the wait, we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is issued. Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again. Analysis from Kiran Kumar Modukuri: [Impact] Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 CacheFiles: Error: Object already active kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:163! [Cause] In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object to go away before the new object is moved to active state. [Fix] Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when retrying the object lookup. [Testcase] Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur. [Regression Potential] - Limited to fscache/cachefiles.

cachefiles: vfs_mkdir() might succeed leaving dentry negative unhashed

2018-05-21T18:30:10+00:00

That can (and does, on some filesystems) happen - ->mkdir() (and thus vfs_mkdir()) can legitimately leave its argument negative and just unhash it, counting upon the lookup to pick the object we'd created next time we try to look at that name. Some vfs_mkdir() callers forget about that possibility... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie

2018-04-04T12:41:28+00:00

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so that: (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This can simplify things in the cache as the information is still available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie. (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us. (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk. As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes. (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily available. This allows: (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend. (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated. A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it. The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Anna Schumaker Tested-by: Steve Dickson

fscache: Add tracepoints

2018-04-04T12:41:27+00:00

Add some tracepoints to fscache: (*) fscache_cookie - Tracks a cookie's usage count. (*) fscache_netfs - Logs registration of a network filesystem, including the pointer to the cookie allocated. (*) fscache_acquire - Logs cookie acquisition. (*) fscache_relinquish - Logs cookie relinquishment. (*) fscache_enable - Logs enablement of a cookie. (*) fscache_disable - Logs disablement of a cookie. (*) fscache_osm - Tracks execution of states in the object state machine. and cachefiles: (*) cachefiles_ref - Tracks a cachefiles object's usage count. (*) cachefiles_lookup - Logs result of lookup_one_len(). (*) cachefiles_mkdir - Logs result of vfs_mkdir(). (*) cachefiles_create - Logs result of vfs_create(). (*) cachefiles_unlink - Logs calls to vfs_unlink(). (*) cachefiles_rename - Logs calls to vfs_rename(). (*) cachefiles_mark_active - Logs an object becoming active. (*) cachefiles_wait_active - Logs a wait for an old object to be destroyed. (*) cachefiles_mark_inactive - Logs an object becoming inactive. (*) cachefiles_mark_buried - Logs the burial of an object.

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

2017-06-20T10:18:27+00:00

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
