The commit 129a84de2347002f09721cda3155ccfd19fade40 (locks: fix F_GETLK regression (failure to find conflicts)) fixed the posix_test_lock() function by itself, however, its usage in NFS changed by the commit 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c (locks: give posix_test_lock same interface as ->lock) remained broken - subsequent NFS-specific locking code received F_UNLCK instead of the user-specified lock type. To fix the problem, fl->fl_type needs to be saved before the posix_test_lock() call and restored if no local conflicts were reported.

2010-10-25Revalidate caches on lockRicardo Labiaga1-3/+16
Instead of blindly zapping the caches, attempt to revalidate them if the server has indicated that it uses high resolution timestamps. NFSv4 should be able to always revalidate the cache since the protocol requires the update of the change attribute on modification of the data. In reality, there are servers (the Linux NFS server for example) that do not obey this requirement and use ctime as the basis for change attribute. Long term, the server needs to be fixed. At this time, and to be on the safe side, continue zapping caches if the server indicates that it does not have a high resolution timestamp.

2010-09-23nfs: introduce mount option '-olocal_lock' to make locks localSuresh Jayaraman1-13/+32
NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock (share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked. The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer. Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values: 'none' - Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local 'flock' - flock locks are local 'posix' - fcntl/POSIX locks are local 'all' - Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local Testing: - This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured. 'none' - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock was granted, fcntl was denied 'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(), granted 'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl() 'all' - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl() - No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4 reboot recovery.

Therefore it cannot really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking function called returns an error, as there will be no corresponding call to the NLM.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-1/+1
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.

2009-12-10vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semanticsChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

2009-08-10NFS: read-modify-write page updatingPeter Staubach1-2/+46
Hi. I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue. I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages. The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The page is not marked as up to date because there are portions of the page which do not contain valid file contents. When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the contents of the page must be read in the from the server. However, since the page may already contain some modified data, that modified data must be written to the server before the file contents can be read back in the from server. And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically, the data must be written and committed to stable storage on the server for safety purposes. This means either a FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT. This has been discussed at length previously. This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It is most efficient when the application only updates pages and does not read them. My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read- modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to read from, and the size of the region to read. If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing and the page would not be filled completely with data from the user level, then read in the old contents of the page and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If the page would be completely filled with data from the user level, then there would be no reason to read in the old contents because they would just be copied over. This would optimize for applications which randomly access and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the C compiler is an example of such a thing. I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were generated. I suspect that many of these additional WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE a single page, but I didn't test this theory. The difference between this patch and the previous one was to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as desired.

2009-04-03NFS: FS-Cache page managementDavid Howells1-4/+14
FS-Cache page management for NFS. This includes hooking the releasing and invalidation of pages marked with PG_fscache (aka PG_private_2) and waiting for completion of the write-to-cache flag (PG_fscache_write aka PG_owner_priv_2).

2009-04-01mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match faultNick Piggin1-1/+4
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

2009-03-19NFS: Optimise NFS close()Trond Myklebust1-9/+2
Close-to-open cache consistency rules really only require us to flush out writes on calls to close(), and require us to revalidate attributes on the very last close of the file. Currently we appear to be doing a lot of extra attribute revalidation and cache flushes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2009-03-11NFS: Kill the "defined but not used" compile error on nommu machinesTrond Myklebust1-7/+5
Bryan Wu reports that when compiling NFS on nommu machines he gets a "defined but not used" error on nfs_file_mmap(). The easiest fix is simply to get rid of the special casing in NFS, and just always call generic_file_mmap() to set up the file. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2009-03-11NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to diskTrond Myklebust1-0/+9
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter Staubach. Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress. Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests. While this is compliant with all of the current protocol specifications, there are servers in the market which can not handle out of order WRITE requests very well. Also, this may lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file system on the server. This may cause the read throughputs to be reduced when reading the file from the server. Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of order issues on a systemic level. However, the NFS client is still susceptible to the problem. Out of order WRITE requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls generic_file_buffered_write which calls generic_perform_write which calls balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that pdflush happens to be working with.

2009-01-05fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin1-1/+1
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2008-10-07NFS: Fix nfs_file_llseek()Trond Myklebust1-4/+7
After the BKL removal patches were applied to the rest of the NFS code, the BKL protection in nfs_file_llseek() is no longer sufficient to ensure that inode->i_size is read safely in generic_file_llseek_unlocked(). In order to fix the situation, we either have to replace the naked read of inode->i_size in generic_file_llseek_unlocked() with i_size_read(), or the whole thing needs to be executed under the inode->i_lock; In order to avoid disrupting other filesystems, avoid touching generic_file_llseek_unlocked() for now...
