      xfs: track AGs with reclaimable inodes in per-ag radix tree · 16fd5367
      Dave Chinner authored 
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16348

When the filesystem grows to a large number of allocation groups,
the summing of recalimable inodes gets expensive. In many cases,
most AGs won't have any reclaimable inodes and so we are wasting CPU
time aggregating over these AGs. This is particularly important for
the inode shrinker that gets called frequently under memory
pressure.

To avoid the overhead, track AGs with reclaimable inodes in the
per-ag radix tree so that we can find all the AGs with reclaimable
inodes via a simple gang tag lookup. This involves setting the tag
when the first reclaimable inode is tracked in the AG, and removing
the tag when the last reclaimable inode is removed from the tree.
Then the summation process becomes a loop walking the radix tree
summing AGs with the reclaim tag set.

This significantly reduces the overhead of scanning - a 6400 AG
filesystea now only uses about 25% of a cpu in kswapd while slab
reclaim progresses instead of being permanently stuck at 100% CPU
and making little progress. Clean filesystems filesystems will see
no overhead and the overhead only increases linearly with the number
of dirty AGs.

      xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem contexts · 70e60ce7
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Now the shrinker passes us a context, wire up a shrinker context per
filesystem. This allows us to remove the global mount list and the
locking problems that introduced. It also means that a shrinker call
does not need to traverse clean filesystems before finding a
filesystem with reclaimable inodes.  This significantly reduces
scanning overhead when lots of filesystems are present.

      Btrfs: fix checks in BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE · 2ebc3464
      Dan Rosenberg authored 
      1.  The BTRFS_IOC_CLONE and BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE ioctls should check
whether the donor file is append-only before writing to it.

2.  The BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE ioctl appears to have an integer
overflow that allows a user to specify an out-of-bounds range to copy
from the source file (if off + len wraps around).  I haven't been able
to successfully exploit this, but I'd imagine that a clever attacker
could use this to read things he shouldn't.  Even if it's not
exploitable, it couldn't hurt to be safe.
