fscache: Clear outstanding writes when disabling a cookie

2017-01-31T18:23:09+00:00

fscache_disable_cookie() needs to clear the outstanding writes on the cookie it's disabling because they cannot be completed after. Without this, fscache_nfs_open_file() gets stuck because it disables the cookie when the file is opened for writing but can't uncache the pages till afterwards - otherwise there's a race between the open routine and anyone who already has it open R/O and is still reading from it. Looking in /proc/pid/stack of the offending process shows: [] __fscache_wait_on_page_write+0x82/0x9b [fscache] [] __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages+0x91/0xe1 [fscache] [] nfs_fscache_open_file+0x59/0x9e [nfs] [] nfs4_file_open+0x17f/0x1b8 [nfsv4] [] do_dentry_open+0x16d/0x2b7 [] vfs_open+0x5c/0x65 [] path_openat+0x785/0x8fb [] do_filp_open+0x48/0x9e [] do_sys_open+0x13b/0x1cb [] SyS_open+0x19/0x1b [] do_syscall_64+0x80/0x17a [] return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a [] 0xffffffffffffffff Reported-by: Jianhong Yin Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Jeff Layton Acked-by: Steve Dickson Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

FS-Cache: The operation cancellation method needs calling in more places

2015-04-02T13:28:53+00:00

Any time an incomplete operation is cancelled, the operation cancellation function needs to be called to clean up. This is currently being passed directly to some of the functions that might want to call it, but not all. Instead, pass the cancellation method pointer to the fscache_operation_init() and have that cache it in the operation struct. Further, plug in a dummy cancellation handler if the caller declines to set one as this allows us to call the function unconditionally (the extra overhead isn't worth bothering about as we don't expect to be calling this typically). The cancellation method must thence be called everywhere the CANCELLED state is set. Note that we call it *before* setting the CANCELLED state such that the method can use the old state value to guide its operation. fscache_do_cancel_retrieval() needs moving higher up in the sources so that the init function can use it now. Without this, the following oops may be seen: FS-Cache: Assertion failed FS-Cache: 3 == 0 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../fs/fscache/page.c:261! ...

FS-Cache: fscache_object_is_dead() has wrong logic, kill it

2015-04-02T13:28:53+00:00

fscache_object_is_dead() returns true only if the object is marked dead and the cache got an I/O error. This should be a logical OR instead. Since two of the callers got split up into handling for separate subcases, expand the other callers and kill the function. This is probably the right thing to do anyway since one of the subcases isn't about the object at all, but rather about the cache.

sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions

2014-07-16T13:10:39+00:00

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookies

2013-09-27T17:40:25+00:00

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie will reject or ignore further requests to: Acquire a child cookie Invalidate and update backing objects Check the consistency of a backing object Allocate storage for backing page Read backing pages Write to backing pages but still allows: Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects Uncaching of pages Relinquishment of cookies Two new operations are provided: (1) Disable a cookie: void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool invalidate); If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any associated object. This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(), but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled. All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page markings are cleared up. (2) Enable a cookie: void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool (*can_enable)(void *data), void *data) If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects. The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to begin. All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated. A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open() is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing caching to an inode that's open for writing already. One operation has its API modified: (3) Acquire a cookie. struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie( struct fscache_cookie *parent, const struct fscache_cookie_def *def, void *netfs_data, bool enable); This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable() function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else can get at the cookie before this returns.

FS-Cache: Add use/unuse/wake cookie wrappers

2013-09-27T17:40:25+00:00

Add wrapper functions for dealing with cookie->n_active: (*) __fscache_use_cookie() to increment it. (*) __fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement and test against zero. (*) __fscache_wake_unused_cookie() to wake up anyone waiting for it to reach zero. The second and third are split so that the third can be done after cookie->lock has been released in case the waiter wakes up whilst we're still holding it and tries to get it. We will need to wake-on-zero once the cookie disablement patch is applied because it will then be possible to see n_active become zero without the cookie being relinquished. Also move the cookie usement out of fscache_attr_changed_op() and into fscache_attr_changed() and the operation struct so that cookie disablement will be able to track it. Whilst we're at it, only increment n_active if we're about to do fscache_submit_op() so that we don't have to deal with undoing it if anything earlier fails. Possibly this should be moved into fscache_submit_op() which could look at FSCACHE_OP_UNUSE_COOKIE. Signed-off-by: David Howells

FS-Cache: Add interface to check consistency of a cached object

2013-09-06T08:17:30+00:00

Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object: int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie) This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS. The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer: int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object) that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the object state.
