2019-06-14Merge tag 'v5.2-rc4' into mauroJonathan Corbet1-2/+14
We need to pick up post-rc1 changes to various document files so they don't get lost in Mauro's massive RST conversion push.

2019-05-30docs: filesystems: vfs: Convert vfs.txt to RSTTobin C. Harding2-281/+299
vfs.txt is currently stale. If we convert it to RST this is a good first step in the process of getting the VFS documentation up to date. This patch does the following (all as a single patch so as not to introduce any new SPHINX build warnings) - Use '.. code-block:: c' for C code blocks and indent the code blocks. - Use double backticks for struct member descriptions. - Fix a couple of build warnings by guarding pointers (*) with double backticks .e.g ``*ptr``. - Add vfs to Documentation/filesystems/index.rst The member descriptions paragraph indentation was not touched. It is not pretty but these do not cause build warnings. These descriptions all need updating anyways so leave it as it is for now. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

2019-05-02new inode method: ->free_inode()Al Viro2-0/+27
A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for doing just that, with saner signature. Rules: ->destroy_inode ->free_inode f g immediate call of f(), RCU-delayed call of g() f NULL immediate call of f(), no RCU-delayed calls NULL g RCU-delayed call of g() NULL NULL RCU-delayed default freeing IOW, NULL ->free_inode gives the same behaviour as now. Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility, require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair would have no use whatsoever... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2019-04-10dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.Al Viro1-0/+5
For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely (among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping the last reference and actually freeing the memory. On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed. So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it. We only really need it for dentries that are created by d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart - just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do *not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only such user right now. FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias() elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server. It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously convoluted.

2019-03-06docs: Bring some order to filesystem documentationJonathan Corbet5-370/+395
Documentation/filesystems is, like much of the rest of the kernel's documentation, a jumble of unorganized information. Split the documentation into categories and try to bring some order to the top-level index.rst files. No text changes other than a few section-introductory blurbs; this is all just moving stuff around.

2019-02-24fs: add an iopoll method to struct file_operationsChristoph Hellwig1-0/+3
This new methods is used to explicitly poll for I/O completion for an iocb. It must be called for any iocb submitted asynchronously (that is with a non-null ki_complete) which has the IOCB_HIPRI flag set. The method is assisted by a new ki_cookie field in struct iocb to store the polling cookie.

2019-02-18sysfs.txt: add note on available attribute macrosNicholas Mc Guire1-0/+21
The common cases of attributes wrappers should probably be using the __ATTR_XXX macros to make code more concise and readable but the current sysfs.txt does not point developers to those convenience macros. Further there is no note in sysfs.txt currently explaining why trying to set a sysfs file to mode 0666 will fail respectively revert to 0664.

2019-02-12xfs: Introduce XFS_PTAG_VERIFIER_ERROR panic maskMarco Benatto1-1/+2
Currently we have a few PTAGs in place allowing us to transform a filesystem error in a BUG() call. However, we don't have a panic tag for corrupt metadata, so introduce XFS_PTAG_VERIFIER_ERROR so that the administrator can use the fs.xfs.panic_mask sysctl knob to convert any error detected by buffer verifiers into a kernel panic.
