Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:
- The ->i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)
- a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)
- followup to dedupe stuff merged this cycle
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
vfs: abort dedupe loop if fatal signals are pending
make sure that freeing shmem fast symlinks is RCU-delayed
wrappers for ->i_mutex access
lustre: remove unused declaration
|

There are many locations that do
if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
vfree(ptr);
else
kfree(ptr);
but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found
problems.

In case the lower level device size changed, but some other internal
details of the resize did not work out, drbd_determine_dev_size() would
try to restore the previous settings, trusting
drbd_md_set_sector_offsets() to "do the right thing", but overlooked
that this internally may set the meta data base offset based on device size.
This could end up with incomplete on-disk meta data layout change, and
ultimately lead to data corruption (if the failure was not noticed or
ignored by the operator, and other things go wrong as well).
Just remember all meta data related offsets/sizes,
and on error restore them all.

During handshake communication, we also reconsider our device size,
using drbd_determine_dev_size(). Just in case we need to change the
offsets or layout of our on-disk metadata, we lock out application
and other meta data IO, and wait for the activity log to be "idle"
(no more referenced extents).
If this handshake happens just after a connection loss, with a fencing
policy of "resource-and-stonith", we have frozen IO.
If, additionally, the activity log was "starving" (too many incoming
random writes at that point in time), it won't become idle, ever,
because of the frozen IO, and this would be a lockup of the receiver
thread, and consquentially of DRBD.
Previous logic (re-)initialized with a special "empty" transaction
block, which required the activity log to fully drain first.
Instead, write out some standard activity log transactions.
Using lc_try_lock_for_transaction() instead of lc_try_lock() does not
care about pending activity log references, avoiding the potential
deadlock.

To be able to "force out" an activity log transaction,
even if there are no pending updates.
This will be used to relocate the on-disk activity log,
if the on-disk offsets have to be changed,
without the need to empty the activity log first.
While at it, move the definition,
so we can drop the forward declaration of a static helper.

Don't remember a DRBD request as ack_pending, if it is not.
In protocol A, we usually clear RQ_NET_PENDING at the same time we set
RQ_NET_SENT, so when deciding to remember it as ack_pending,
mod_rq_state needs to look at the current request state,
not at the previous state before the current modification was applied.
This should prevent advance_conn_req_ack_pending() from walking the full
transfer log just to find NULL in protocol A, which would cause serious
performance degradation with many "in-flight" requests, e.g. when
working via DRBD-proxy, or with a huge bandwidth-delay product.

Disconnect should wait for pending bitmap IO.
But if that bitmap IO is not happening, because it is waiting for
pending application IO, and there is no progress, because the fencing
policy suspended application IO because of the disconnect,
then we deadlock.
The bitmap writeout in this case does not care for concurrent
application IO, so there is no point waiting for it.

We cannot possibly support SECDISCARD, even if all backend devices would
support it: if our peer is currently unreachable, some instance of the
data may obviously still be recoverable.
We did not set discard_granularity at all. We don't really care (yet),
we only pass them on, so for now, set our granularity to one sector.
blkdev_stack_limits() takes care of the rest.
If we decide we cannot support discards,
not only clear the (not user visible) QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD,
but set both (user visible) discard_granularity and max_discard_sectors
to zero, to avoid confusion with e.g. lsblk -D.

In a multiple error scenario, we may end up with a "frozen" Primary,
that has no access to any data (no local disk, no replication link).
If we then resume-io, we try to generate a new data generation id,
which will fail if there is no longer a local disk.
Double check for available local data,
which prevents the NULL pointer deref.
If we are diskless, turn the resume-io in this situation
into the first stage of a "force down", by bumping the "effective" data
gen id, which will prevent later attach or connect to the former data
set without first being demoted (deconfigured).

The intention is to reduce CPU utilization. Recent measurements
unveiled that the current performance bottleneck is CPU utilization
on the receiving node. The asender thread became CPU limited.
One of the main points is to eliminate the idr_for_each_entry() loop
from the sending acks code path.
One exception in that is sending back ping_acks. These stay
in the ack-receiver thread. Otherwise the logic becomes too
complicated for no added value.

A D_FAILED disk transitions as quickly as possible to
D_DISKLESS. But in the "unresponsive local disk" case,
there remains a time window where a administrative detach command could
find the disk already failed, but some internal meta data IO against the
unresponsive local disk still pending.
In that case, drbd_md_get_buffer() will return NULL.
Don't unconditionally call drbd_md_put_buffer(), or it will cause
refcount imbalance, and prevent any further re-attach on this volume
(until it is deleted and re-created).

The recent (not yet released) backport of the extended state broadcasts
to support the "events2" subcommand of drbdsetup had some glitches.
remember_old_state() would first count all connections with a
net_conf != NULL, then allocate a suitable array, then populate that
array with all connections found to have net_conf != NULL.
This races with the state change to C_STANDALONE,
and the NULL assignment there.
remember_new_state() then iterates over said connection array,
assuming that it would be fully populated.
But rcu_lock() just makes sure the thing some pointer points to,
if any, won't go away. It does not make the pointer itself immutable.
In fact there is no need to "filter" connections based on whether or not
they have a currently valid configuration. Just record them always, if
they don't have a config, that's fine, there will be no change then.

The only way to make DRBD intentionally call panic is to
set a disk timeout, have that trigger, "abort" some request and complete
to upper layers, then have the backend IO subsystem later complete these
requests successfully regardless.
As the attached IO pages have been recycled for other purposes
meanwhile, this will cause unexpected random memory changes.
To prevent corruption, we rather panic in that case.
Make it obvious from stack traces that this was the case by introducing
drbd_panic_after_delayed_completion_of_aborted_request().

Even though we really want to get the state information about our bad
disk to the peer as soon as possible, it is useful to first call the
local-io-error handler.
People may chose to hard-reset the box from there.
If that looks and behaves exactly like a "regular node crash", without
bumping the data generation UUIDs on the peer in between, it makes it
easier to deal with.
If you intend to return from the local-io-error handler, then better
return as quickly as possible to avoid triggering other timeouts.

If for some reason the primary lost its disk *and* the replication link
before it is able to communicate the disk loss, probably blocked IO,
then later is able to re-establish the connection, the peer needs to
bump its UUIDs just like it does when peer only loses the disk
and is able to communicate this in time.
Otherwise, a later re-attach of the disk on the primary may start a
resync in the "wrong" direction.

"forever"
When detaching, we make sure no application IO is in-flight
by internally suspending IO, then trigger the state change,
wait for the result, and finally internally resume IO again.
Once we triggered the stat change to "Failed",
we expect it to change from Failed to Diskless.
(To avoid races, we actually wait for it to leave "Failed").
On an unresponsive local IO backend, this may not happen, ever.
Don't have a "hung" detach block IO "forever", but resume IO
before waiting for the state change to Diskless.
We may well be able to continue IO to and from a healthy peer.

(You should not use disk-timeout anyways,
see the man page for why...)
We add incoming requests to the tail of some ring list.
On local completion, requests are removed from that list.
The timer looks only at the head of that ring list,
so is supposed to only see the oldest request.
All protected by a spinlock.
The request object is created with timestamps zeroed out.
The timestamp was only filled in just before the actual submit.
But to actually submit the request, we need to give up the spinlock.
If you are unlucky, there is no older still pending request, the timer
looks at a new request with timestamp still zero (before it even was
submitted), and 0 + timeout is most likely older than "now".
Better assign the timestamp right when we put the
request object on said ring list.

changes. Use resources_mutex to serialize global state changes.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__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.

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its
own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Some drivers use it now, others just set the limits field manually.
But in preparation for splitting this into a hard and soft limit,
ensure that they all call the proper function for setting the hw
limit for discards.

fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

"This is the big pull request for adding cgroup writeback support.
This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been
simmering in for-next for a good chunk of this cycle too. This is one
of those problems that has been talked about for at least half a
decade, finally there's a solution and code to go with it.
