2014-06-04mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where ↵Mel Gorman
possible aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

2014-06-02locks: ensure that fl_owner is always initialized properly in flock and ↵Jeff Layton
lease codepaths Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in those that does: fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp; fl->fl_start = 0; fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX; Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description, move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of that in flock ops in those filesystems as well. Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.

2014-04-02fuse: Fix O_DIRECT operations vs cached writeback misorderPavel Emelyanov
The problem is: 1. write cached data to a file 2. read directly from the same file (via another fd) The 2nd operation may read stale data, i.e. the one that was in a file before the 1st op. Problem is in how fuse manages writeback. When direct op occurs the core kernel code calls filemap_write_and_wait to flush all the cached ops in flight. But fuse acks the writeback right after the ->writepages callback exits w/o waiting for the real write to happen. Thus the subsequent direct op proceeds while the real writeback is still in flight. This is a problem for backends that reorder operation. Fix this by making the fuse direct IO callback explicitly wait on the in-flight writeback to finish.

Any write request requires a file handle to report to the userspace. Thus when we close a file (and free the fuse_file with this info) we have to flush all the outstanding dirty pages. filemap_write_and_wait() is enough because every page under fuse writeback is accounted in ff->count. This delays actual close until all fuse wb is completed. In case of "write cache" turned off, the flush is ensured by fuse_vma_close().

This assumption implies fixing the previously introduced short-read helper -- when a short read occurs the 'hole' is filled with zeroes. fuse_file_fallocate() is also fixed because now we should keep i_size up to date, so it must be updated if FUSE_FALLOCATE request succeeded.

2014-01-26Fix race when checking i_size on direct i/o readSteven Whitehouse
So far I've had one ACK for this, and no other comments. So I think it is probably time to send this via some suitable tree. I'm guessing that the vfs tree would be the most appropriate route, but not sure that there is one at the moment (don't see anything recent at kernel.org) so in that case I think -mm is the "back up plan". Al, please let me know if you will take this? Steve. --------------------- Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread. Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets: a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph) These are obviously not going to be an issue b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse) I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the original behaviour just to be on the safe side. c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO() These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it passes both before and after this change. The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is - there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation of the contained code. There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so its still an overall improvement.

2014-01-22fuse: support clients that don't implement 'open'Andrew Gallagher
open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup. However, for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of calling into userspace for open/release calls. This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace operation.

2014-01-22fuse: don't invalidate attrs when not using atimeAndrew Gallagher
Various read operations (e.g. readlink, readdir) invalidate the cached attrs for atime changes. This patch adds a new function 'fuse_invalidate_atime', which checks for a read-only super block and avoids the attr invalidation in that case.

2013-11-05fuse: writepages: protect secondary requests from fuse file releaseMaxim Patlasov
All async fuse requests must be supplied with extra reference to a fuse file. This is necessary to ensure that the fuse file is not released until all in-flight requests are completed. Fuse secondary writeback requests must obey this rule as well. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <MPatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2013-11-05fuse: writepages: update bdi writeout when deleting secondary requestMaxim Patlasov
BDI_WRITTEN counter is used to estimate bdi bandwidth. It must be incremented every time as bdi ends page writeback. No matter whether it was fulfilled by actual write or by discarding the request (e.g. due to shrunk i_size). Note that even before writepages patches, the case "Got truncated off completely" was handled in fuse_send_writepage() by calling fuse_writepage_finish() which updated BDI_WRITTEN unconditionally.

2013-11-05fuse: writepages: crop secondary requestsMaxim Patlasov
If writeback happens while fuse is in FUSE_NOWRITE condition, the request will be queued but not processed immediately (see fuse_flush_writepages()). Until FUSE_NOWRITE becomes relaxed, more writebacks can happen. They will be queued as "secondary" requests to that first ("primary") request. Existing implementation crops only primary request. This is not correct because a subsequent extending write(2) may increase i_size and then secondary requests won't be cropped properly. The result would be stale data written to the server to a file offset where zeros must be. Similar problem may happen if secondary requests are attached to an in-flight request that was already cropped. The patch solves the issue by cropping all secondary requests in fuse_writepage_end(). Thanks to Miklos for idea. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <MPatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2013-11-05fuse: writepages: roll back changes if request not foundMaxim Patlasov
fuse_writepage_in_flight() returns false if it fails to find request with given index in fi->writepages. Then the caller proceeds with populating data->orig_pages[] and incrementing req->num_pages. Hence, fuse_writepage_in_flight() must revert changes it made in request before returning false.

2013-10-01fuse: writepage: skip already in flightMiklos Szeredi
If ->writepage() tries to write back a page whose copy is still in flight, then just skip by calling redirty_page_for_writepage(). This is OK, since now ->writepage() should never be called for data integrity sync. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2013-10-01fuse: writepages: handle same page rewritesMiklos Szeredi
As Maxim Patlasov pointed out, it's possible to get a dirty page while it's copy is still under writeback, despite fuse_page_mkwrite() doing its thing (direct IO). This could result in two concurrent write request for the same offset, with data corruption if they get mixed up. To prevent this, fuse needs to check and delay such writes. This implementation does this by: 1. check if page is still under writeout, if so create a new, single page secondary request for it 2. chain this secondary request onto the in-flight request 2/a. if a seconday request for the same offset was already chained to the in-flight request, then just copy the contents of the page and discard the new secondary request. This makes sure that for each page will have at most two requests associated with it 3. when the in-flight request finished, send off all secondary requests chained onto it Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
