Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
"The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.
Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
in it."

We change nilfs_page_mkwrite() to provide proper freeze protection for
writeable page faults (we must wait for frozen filesystem even if the
page is fully mapped).
We remove all vfs_check_frozen() checks since they are now handled by
the generic code.

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode(). This deadlock is 100% reproducible.
This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.
This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.

There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss
against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e.
nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl.
This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier
mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent
storage on their completion.

There is a potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
When a large argv[n].v_nmembs is passed from the userspace, the subsequent
call to vmalloc() will allocate a buffer smaller than expected, which
leads to out-of-bound access in nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() and
lfs_clean_segments().
The following check does not prevent the overflow because nsegs is also
controlled by the userspace and could be very large.
if (argv[n].v_nmembs > nsegs * nilfs->ns_blocks_per_segment)
goto out_free;
This patch clamps argv[n].v_nmembs to UINT_MAX / argv[n].v_size, and
returns -EINVAL when overflow.

This adds a new ioctl command which limits range of segment to be
allocated. This is intended to gather data whithin a range of the
partition before shrinking the filesystem, or to control new log
location for some purpose.
If a range is specified by the ioctl, segment allocator of nilfs tries
to allocate new segments from the range unless no free segments are
available there.

This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure. With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:
Before:
super_block
-> nilfs_sb_info
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
super_block
-> the_nilfs
-> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
+-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
:
-> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above. The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object. On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

This is a similar change to those in ext2/ext3 codebase (commit
40a063f6691ce937 and a4ae3094869f18e2, respectively).
The addition of 64k block capability in the rec_len_from_disk and
rec_len_to_disk functions added a bit of math overhead which slows
down file create workloads needlessly when the architecture cannot
even support 64k blocks. This will cut the corner.

Add support for the standard attributes set via chattr and read via
lsattr. These attributes are already in the flags value in the nilfs2
inode, but currently we don't have any ioctl commands that expose them
to the userland.
Collaterally, this adds the FS_IOC_GETVERSION ioctl for getting
i_generation, which allows users to list the file's generation number
with "lsattr -v".

nilfs_dat_inode function was a wrapper to switch between normal dat
inode and gcdat, a clone of the dat inode for garbage collection.
This function got obsolete when the gcdat inode was removed, and now
we can access the dat inode directly from a nilfs object. So, we will
unfold the wrapper and remove it.

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

Nilfs hasn't supported the freeze/thaw feature because it didn't work
due to the peculiar design that multiple super block instances could
be allocated for a device. This limitation was removed by the patch
"nilfs2: do not allocate multiple super block instances for a device".
So now this adds the freeze/thaw support to nilfs.

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.

Although the patch moved out a function call of

nilfs_ioctl_prepare_clean_segments(), it didn't move corresponding
cleanup job needed for the error case.

This fixes a kernel oops reported by Markus Trippelsdorf in the email
titled "[NILFS users] kernel Oops while running nilfs_cleanerd".
The oops was caused by a bug of error path in
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() function, which was inlined in
nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments().
nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks checks duplication of blocks which will be
moved in garbage collection. But, the check should have be done
within nilfs_ioctl_move_inode_block() to prevent list corruption among
buffers storing the target blocks.
To fix the kernel oops, this moves forward the duplication check
before the list insertion.
I also tested this for stable trees [2.6.30, 2.6.31].

This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period.
This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time.
When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments.
Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction,
however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
transaction lock and put it before the transaction.
I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition.
I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks
before starting the benchmark.
Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request
statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and
bellow is average of those numers.
According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated.
However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved.
This can address a few seconds write freeze.

Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
respectively.
Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.
This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:
- struct nilfs_cpinfo
- struct nilfs_suinfo
- struct nilfs_vinfo
So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.
In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.
[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
function), and this will not cause security problem.

This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related
functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code
readability.
This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously
introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify
multiple segment usages").

Although some ioctls of nilfs2 exchange data in the form of indirectly
referenced array, some of them lack size check on the array elements.
This inserts the missing checks and rejects requests if data of ioctl
does not have a valid format.
We usually don't have to check size of structures that we associated
with ioctl commands because the size is tested implicitly for
identifying ioctl command; the checks this patch adds are for the
cases where the implicit check is not applied.

And, page fault path may hold:
page fault -> mm->mmap_sem
--> nilfs_page_mkwrite() -> nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
Even though nilfs_clean_segments() does not perform write access on
given user pages, it may cause deadlock because nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
is shared per device and mm->mmap_sem can be shared with other tasks.
To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user()
outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl.

This makes the lock granularity of nilfs->ns_segctor_sem finer than
that of the mmap semaphore for ioctl commands except
nilfs_clean_segments().
The successive patch ("nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in
nilfs_clean_segments ioctl") is required to fully resolve the problem.

Nilfs ioctl had structures not having fixed sized types such as:
struct nilfs_argv {
void *v_base;
size_t v_nmembs;
size_t v_size;
int v_index;
int v_flags;
};
Further, some of them are wrongly aligned:
e.g.
struct nilfs_cpmode {
__u64 cm_cno;
int cm_mode;
};
The size of wrongly aligned structures varies depending on
architectures, and it breaks the identity of ioctl commands, which
leads to arch dependent errors.
Previously, these are compensated by using compat_ioctl.
This fixes these problems and allows removal of compat ioctl.
Since this will change sizes of those structures, binary compatibility
for the past utilities will once break; new utilities have to be used
instead. However, it would be helpful to avoid platform dependent
problems in the long term.

This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along
with the related flags and wait queue.
The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl. I prefer
to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program.
By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible
without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency.

This resolves the following failure of nilfs2 cleaner daemon:
nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: cannot clean segments: No such file or directory
nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: shutdown
When creating thousands of snapshots, the cleaner daemon had rarely died
as above due to an error returned from the kernel code.
After applying the recent patch which fixed memory allocation problems in
ioctl (Message-Id: <20081215.155840.105124170.ryusuke@osrg.net>), the
problem gets more frequent.
It turned out to be a bug of nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function and one of its
callback routines to read out information of snapshots; if the
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function divided a large read request into multiple
requests, the second and later requests have failed since a restart
position on snapshot meta data was not properly set forward.
It's a deficiency of the callback interface that cannot pass the restart
position among multiple requests. This patch fixes the issue by allowing
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy and snapshot read functions to exchange a position
argument.

Pekka Enberg pointed out that double error handlings found after
nilfs_transaction_end() can be avoided by separating abort operation:
OK, I don't understand this. The only way nilfs_transaction_end() can
fail is if we have NILFS_TI_SYNC set and we fail to construct the
segment. But why do we want to construct a segment if we don't commit?
I guess what I'm asking is why don't we have a separate
nilfs_transaction_abort() function that can't fail for the erroneous
case to avoid this double error value tracking thing?
This does the separation and renames nilfs_transaction_end() to
nilfs_transaction_commit() for clarification.
Since, some calls of these functions were used just for exclusion control
against the segment constructor, they are replaced with semaphore
operations.

This is another patch for fixing the following problems of a memory
copy function in nilfs2 ioctl:
(1) It tries to allocate 128KB size of memory even for small objects.
(2) Though the function repeatedly tries large memory allocations
while reducing the size, GFP_NOWAIT flag is not specified.
This increases the possibility of system memory shortage.
(3) During the retries of (2), verbose warnings are printed
because _GFP_NOWARN flag is not used for the kmalloc calls.
The first patch was still doing large allocations by kmalloc which are
repeatedly tried while reducing the size.
Andi Kleen told me that using copy_from_user for large memory is not
good from the viewpoint of preempt latency:

For the function in question, the size of buffer memory can be reduced
since the buffer is repeatedly used for a number of small objects. On
the other hand, it may incur large preempt latencies for larger buffer
because a copy_from_user (and a copy_to_user) was applied only once
each cycle.
With that, this revision uses the order 0 allocations with
__get_free_pages() to fix the original problems.
