      kernfs: implement kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len · 4d3773c4
      Tejun Heo authored
      A write to a kernfs_node is buffered through a kernel buffer.  Writes
      <= PAGE_SIZE are performed atomically, while larger ones are executed
      in PAGE_SIZE chunks.  While this is enough for sysfs, cgroup which is
      scheduled to be converted to use kernfs needs a bit more control over
      it.
      
      This patch adds kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len.  If not set (zero), the
      behavior stays the same.  If set, writes upto the size are executed
      atomically and larger writes are rejected with -E2BIG.
      
      A different implementation strategy would be allowing configuring
      chunking size while making the original write size available to the
      write method; however, such strategy, while being more complicated,
      doesn't really buy anything.  If the write implementation has to
      handle chunking, the specific chunk size shouldn't matter all that
      much.

      kernfs: allow nodes to be created in the deactivated state · d35258ef
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation,
      which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or
      fail creation of multiple nodes.  In addition, if something fails
      after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use
      and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the
      potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref
      depending on how the error path is synchronized.
      
      This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED.
      If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state
      and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new
      kernfs_activate() API.  Also, nodes which have never been activated
      are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths
      to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

      kernfs: add missing kernfs_active() checks in directory operations · b9c9dad0
      Tejun Heo authored
      kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were
      missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node.  As
      deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being
      removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem.  e.g. lookup succeeding
      on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file
      operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible
      from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was
      deactivated.
      
      However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and
      then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit.  This
      is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and
      thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated.
      
      Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are
      invisible to userland.

      kernfs: invoke dir_ops while holding active ref of the target node · 07c7530d
      Tejun Heo authored
      kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active
      reference, which makes it tricky for the invoked operations to
      determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to
      access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations.
      
      kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes
      the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the
      file operations.  There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different.
      Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the
      dir_ops are executing.  This guarantees that while a dir_ops is
      executing the target nodes stay alive.
      
      As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this
      doesn't affect anybody.

      driver-core now supports synchrnous self-deletion of attributes and
      the asynchrnous removal mechanism is scheduled for removal.  Use it
      instead of device_schedule_callback().
      
      * Conversions in arch/s390/pci/pci_sysfs.c and
        drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c are straightforward.
      
      * drivers/s390/cio/ccwgroup.c is a bit more tricky because
        ccwgroup_notifier() was (ab)using device_schedule_callback() to
        purely obtain a process context to kick off ungroup operation which
        may block from a notifier callback.
      
        Rename ccwgroup_ungroup_callback() to ccwgroup_ungroup() and make it
        take ccwgroup_device * instead.  The new function is now called
        directly from ccwgroup_ungroup_store().
      
        ccwgroup_notifier() chain is updated to explicitly bounce through
        ccwgroup_device->ungroup_work.  This also removes possible failure
        from memory pressure.

      kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers · 6b0afc2a
      Tejun Heo authored
      Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete
      nodes including itself.  This isn't straightforward because of kernfs
      active reference.  While a file operation is in progress, an active
      reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to
      drain before completing.  For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock
      as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself
      is sitting on top of.
      
      This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using
      sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous.
      While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks
      synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered
      the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even
      started) and the removal may fail asynchronously.  If a removal
      operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects
      the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename
      onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation
      reliable.
      
      The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous.
      All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation
      which drops its own active ref and deactivates self.  This patch
      implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver
      core.  kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file
      operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self
      node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is
      balanced afterwards.  __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an
      early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the
      active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't
      confuse the deactivation path.
      
      This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy.  The normal
      removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use
      kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node.  The method can
      invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal
      removal path.  kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal
      deletion path will simply be ignored.
      
      This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback().  A subtle feature of
      sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations -
      even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run
      only once.  An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return
      value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return
      value should proceed with actual deletion.  All other instances of
      kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation
      which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes
      and then return %false.  This trivially makes all users of
      kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior
      even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 >
      delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is
      completed by one of the instances.
      
      Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public
      functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection().
      kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be
      used to cater to more complex cases.
      
      v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
          and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type.  Fix it.
          Reported by kbuild test bot.
      
      v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from
          kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.

      kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVED · 81c173cb
      Tejun Heo authored
      KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
      that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
      renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation.
      
      It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
      progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
      - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
      file operations.  There's no reason to have them separate making
      things more complex than necessary.
      
      This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.
      
      * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
        deactivated.  This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
        atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN.  The compiler
        generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
        can't be represented as a positive number.  Nothing is actually
        broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
        which negates the subtrahend..
      
      * A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is
        added for convenience and lockdep annotation.  All KERNFS_REMOVED
        tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests.
      
      * __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes
        in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED.  This removes
        deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to
        kernfs_drain().
      
      * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
        checks on the active ref.
      
      * Some comment style updates in the affected area.
      
      v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring.  kernfs_active()
          dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead.  RB_EMPTY_NODE()
          used in the lookup paths.

      kernfs: remove KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and add kernfs_lockdep() · 182fd64b
      Tejun Heo authored
      There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
      annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
      The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
      while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().
      
      While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
      deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
      needlessly diverges code paths.  Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF.
      
      While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
      flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled
      out when not enabled.
      
      v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor
          KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").  As the earlier patch already added
          KERNFS_LOCKDEP tests to kernfs_deactivate(), those additions are

          to kernfs_lockdep().

      kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt · 988cd7af
      Tejun Heo authored
      kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
      added because there were operations which should be performed outside
      kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes.  The necessary
      operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
      kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
      relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
      directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
      performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
      too.
      
      This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
      and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().
      
      * kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself.
        sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
        all users.

      kernfs: invoke kernfs_unmap_bin_file() directly from kernfs_deactivate() · ccf02aaf
      Tejun Heo authored
      kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of

      kernfs: restructure removal path to fix possible premature return · 35beab06
      Tejun Heo authored
      The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if
      kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same
      node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its
      descendants.  While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be
      called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is
      in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult
      to enforce.  It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as
      the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is
      accessible.
      
      The current behavior in such situations is broken.  Whoever enters
      removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then
      deactivates.  Following removers either return as soon as it notices
      that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it
      has already been removed from the hierarchy.  In both cases, the
      following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should
      be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one.
      
      This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through
      recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules.
      
      * When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base
        ref.
      
      * Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked
        until the target node is fully deactivated and removed.
      
      To achieve the above, removal path now first marks all descendants
      including self REMOVED and then deactivates and unlinks leftmost
      descendant one-by-one.  kernfs_deactivate() is called directly from
      __kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs kernfs_mutex for each
      descendant to drain active refs.  As this means that multiple removers
      can enter kernfs_deactivate() for the same node, the function is
      updated so that it can handle multiple deactivators of the same node -
      only one actually deactivates but all wait till drain completion.
      
      The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets
      unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained.  Combined
      with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any
      invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and
      all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed.
      
      v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same
          loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate().  This is to
          allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later.
      
          Root node removal was broken in v1 patch.  Fixed.
      
      v3: Revert most of v2 except for root node removal fix and
          simplification of KERNFS_REMOVED setting loop.

      multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal
      scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return
      before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another
      removal.  The removal path will be restructured to address the issue.
      
      To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
      this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with
      kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq.  This makes deactivation event
      notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path
      is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off
      kernfs_node.

      kernfs_deactivate() forgot to check whether KERNFS_LOCKDEP is set
      before performing lockdep annotations and ends up feeding
      uninitialized lockdep_map to lockdep triggering warning like the
      following on USB stick hotunplug.

      dma-buf: avoid using IS_ERR_OR_NULL · fee0c54e
      Colin Cross authored
      dma_buf_map_attachment and dma_buf_vmap can return NULL or
      ERR_PTR on a error.  This encourages a common buggy pattern in
      callers:
      	sgt = dma_buf_map_attachment(attach, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL);
      	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(sgt))
                      return PTR_ERR(sgt);
      
      This causes the caller to return 0 on an error.  IS_ERR_OR_NULL
      is almost always a sign of poorly-defined error handling.
      
      This patch converts dma_buf_map_attachment to always return
      ERR_PTR, and fixes the callers that incorrectly handled NULL.
      There are a few more callers that were not checking for NULL
      at all, which would have dereferenced a NULL pointer later.
      There are also a few more callers that correctly handled NULL
      and ERR_PTR differently, I left those alone but they could also
      be modified to delete the NULL check.
      
      This patch also converts dma_buf_vmap to always return NULL.
      All the callers to dma_buf_vmap only check for NULL, and would
      have dereferenced an ERR_PTR and panic'd if one was ever
      returned. This is not consistent with the rest of the dma buf
      APIs, but matches the expectations of all of the callers.

      Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:
       "The three major changes in this patchset is a implementation for
        flexible userspace memory maps, cache-flushing fixes (again), and a
        long-discussed ABI change to make EWOULDBLOCK the same value as
        EAGAIN.
      
        parisc has been the only platform where we had EWOULDBLOCK != EAGAIN
        to keep HP-UX compatibility.  Since we will probably never implement
        full HP-UX support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it
        easier for us with Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked
        for both values.  We don't expect major fall-outs because of this
        change, and if we face some, we will simply rebuild the necessary
        applications in the debian archives"

      hpfs: optimize quad buffer loading · 1c0b8a7a
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the
      directory nodes or bitmaps.  We can't switch to 2048-byte block size
      because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors.
      
      Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc,
      copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them
      back if they were modified.
      
      In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated
      in the pagecache.  That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are
      stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space.  So, we don't
      need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there.
      
      This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers.  It checks
      if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not,
      it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

      hpfs: remember free space · 2cbe5c76
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
      space using statfs.  This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
      bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
      statfs it returns the value instantly.
      
      New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
      making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
      times in minutes.
      
      This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
      user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).
