2018-02-06afs: Support the AFS dynamic rootDavid Howells1-0/+17
Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a directory is the name of the cell. Such a mount can be created thus: mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and propagation. Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by name, e.g.: ls /afs/grand.central.org/ ls /afs/.grand.central.org/ The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied directly.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

2018-01-28powerpc/cell: Remove axonram driverMichael Ellerman1-1/+0
The QS21/22 IBM Cell blades had a southbridge chip called Axon. This could have DDR DIMMs attached to it, though they were not directly usable as RAM, instead they could be used as some sort of buffer, if applications were written specifically to use the block device provided by the driver. Although the driver supposedly had direct access support, it was apparently never tested (see commit 91117a20245b ("axonram: Fix bug in direct_access")). These machines have not been available for over 5 years, and were never widely in use. It seems highly unlikely anyone is using this driver. In general we're happy to leave old drivers in the tree, but because DAX is involved this driver is caught up in the ongoing work in that area, but none of the DAX folks are able to test it. So remove the driver, if any one *is* using it, we'll be happy to put it back. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

2018-01-24ovl: add support for "nfs_export" configurationAmir Goldstein1-0/+35
Introduce the "nfs_export" config, module and mount options. The NFS export feature depends on the "index" feature and enables two implicit overlayfs features: "index_all" and "verify_lower". The "index_all" feature creates an index on copy up of every file and directory. The "verify_lower" feature uses the full index to detect overlay filesystems inconsistencies on lookup, like redirect from multiple upper dirs to the same lower dir. NFS export can be enabled for non-upper mount with no index. However, because lower layer redirects cannot be verified with the index, enabling NFS export support on an overlay with no upper layer requires turning off redirect follow (e.g. "redirect_dir=nofollow"). The full index may incur some overhead on mount time, especially when verifying that lower directory file handles are not stale. NFS export support, full index and consistency verification will be implemented by following patches.

2017-12-25VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anonNeilBrown1-8/+19
The original purpose of the per-superblock d_anon list was to keep disconnected dentries in the cache between consecutive requests to the NFS server. Dentries can be disconnected if a client holds a file open and repeatedly performs IO on it, and if the server drops the dentry, whether due to memory pressure, server restart, or "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". This purpose was thwarted by commit 75a6f82a0d10 ("freeing unlinked file indefinitely delayed") which caused disconnected dentries to be freed as soon as their refcount reached zero. This means that, when a dentry being used by nfsd gets disconnected, a new one needs to be allocated for every request (unless requests overlap). As the dentry has no name, no parent, and no children, there is little of value to cache. As small memory allocations are typically fast (from per-cpu free lists) this likely has little cost. This means that the original purpose of s_anon is no longer relevant: there is no longer any need to keep disconnected dentries on a list so they appear to be hashed. However, s_anon now has a new use. When you mount an NFS filesystem, the dentry stored in s_root is just a placebo. The "real" root dentry is allocated using d_obtain_root() and so it kept on the s_anon list. I don't know the reason for this, but suspect it related to NFSv4 where a mount of "server:/some/path" require NFS to look up the root filehandle on the server, then walk down "/some" and "/path" to get the filehandle to mount. Whatever the reason, NFS depends on the s_anon list and on shrink_dcache_for_umount() pruning all dentries on this list. So we cannot simply remove s_anon. We could just leave the code unchanged, but apart from that being potentially confusing, the (unfair) bit-spin-lock which protects s_anon can become a bottle neck when lots of disconnected dentries are being created. So this patch renames s_anon to s_roots, and stops storing disconnected dentries on the list. Only dentries obtained with d_obtain_root() are now stored on this list. There are many fewer of these (only NFS and NILFS2 use the call, and only during filesystem mount) so contention on the bit-lock will not be a problem. Possibly an alternate solution should be found for NFS and NILFS2, but that would require understanding their needs first.

2017-12-11ovl: don't follow redirects if redirect_dir=offMiklos Szeredi1-0/+34
Overlayfs is following redirects even when redirects are disabled. If this is unintentional (probably the majority of cases) then this can be a problem. E.g. upper layer comes from untrusted USB drive, and attacker crafts a redirect to enable read access to otherwise unreadable directories. If "redirect_dir=off", then turn off following as well as creation of redirects. If "redirect_dir=follow", then turn on following, but turn off creation of redirects (which is what "redirect_dir=off" does now). This is a backward incompatible change, so make it dependent on a config option. Reported-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2017-11-17proc, coredump: add CoreDumping flag to /proc/pid/statusRoman Gushchin1-0/+3
Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being coredumped at the moment. It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the process and getting a broken coredump. Writing a large core might take significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and killing/restarting hanging tasks. We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by timeout in the middle of the core writing process. We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests. Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable timeout (especially on an overloaded machine).

Pull AFS updates from David Howells: "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul. The major points of the overhaul are: (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's in progress. (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it. (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for it where possible. (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS servers break that restriction. To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key removal, permit combinations are cached and shared. (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing the fscache token for the cell. (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate the lifetime of the volume fscache token. (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared between those cells). Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server rather than the address since a server can have multiple addresses. (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will also wait and retry if the server says it is busy. (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode. This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to actually write to the server if a key that made a modification becomes useless. (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build entirely on AFS. Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)" * tag 'afs-next-20171113' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: (35 commits) afs: Protect call->state changes against signals afs: Trace page dirty/clean afs: Implement shared-writeable mmap afs: Get rid of the afs_writeback record afs: Introduce a file-private data record afs: Use a dynamic port if 7001 is in use afs: Fix directory read/modify race afs: Trace the sending of pages afs: Trace the initiation and completion of client calls afs: Fix documentation on # vs % prefix in mount source specification afs: Fix total-length calculation for multiple-page send afs: Only progress call state at end of Tx phase from rxrpc callback afs: Make use of the YFS service upgrade to fully support IPv6 afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation afs: Move server rotation code into its own file afs: Add an address list concept afs: Overhaul cell database management afs: Overhaul permit caching afs: Overhaul the callback handling afs: Rename struct afs_call server member to cm_server ...
2017-11-15mm: consolidate page table accountingKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+0
Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

2017-10-31fscrypt: add a documentation file for filesystem-level encryptionEric Biggers2-0/+621
Perhaps long overdue, add a documentation file for filesystem-level encryption, a.k.a. fscrypt or fs/crypto/, to the Documentation directory. The new file is based loosely on the latest version of the "EXT4 Encryption Design Document (public version)" Google Doc, but with many improvements made, including: - Reflect the reality that it is not specific to ext4 anymore. - More thoroughly document the design and user-visible API/behavior. - Replace outdated information, such as the outdated explanation of how encrypted filenames are hashed for indexed directories and how encrypted filenames are presented to userspace without the key. (This was changed just before release.) For now the focus is on the design and user-visible API/behavior, not on how to add encryption support to a filesystem --- since the internal API is still pretty messy and any standalone documentation for it would become outdated as things get refactored over time.

2017-10-25locking/atomics, doc/filesystems: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() referencesPaul E. McKenney1-3/+3
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle script below. However, this doesn't handle documentation, leaving references to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory step, this patch converts the filesystems documentation to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently. ---- virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Enforcing exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs caused a docker regression: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/34672. Euan spotted the regression and pointed to the offending commit. Vivek has brought the regression to my attention and provided this reproducer: Terminal 1: mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ Terminal 2: unshare -m Terminal 1: umount merged mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none merged/ mount: /root/overlay-testing/merged: none already mounted or mount point busy To fix the regression, I replaced the error with an alarming warning. With index feature enabled, mount does fail, but logs a suggestion to override exclusive dir protection by disabling index. Note that index=off mount does take the inuse locks, so a concurrent index=off will issue the warning and a concurrent index=on mount will fail. Documentation was updated to reflect this change.

It's purely mechanical and it's better done after the merge, so if you could run something like list=$(for i in MS_RDONLY MS_NOSUID MS_NODEV MS_NOEXEC MS_SYNCHRONOUS MS_MANDLOCK MS_DIRSYNC MS_NOATIME MS_NODIRATIME MS_SILENT MS_POSIXACL MS_KERNMOUNT MS_I_VERSION MS_LAZYTIME; do git grep -l $i fs drivers/staging/lustre drivers/mtd ipc mm include/linux; done|sort|uniq|grep -v '^fs/namespace.c$') sed -i -e 's/\<MS_RDONLY\>/SB_RDONLY/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOSUID\>/SB_NOSUID/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NODEV\>/SB_NODEV/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOEXEC\>/SB_NOEXEC/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_SYNCHRONOUS\>/SB_SYNCHRONOUS/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_MANDLOCK\>/SB_MANDLOCK/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_DIRSYNC\>/SB_DIRSYNC/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NOATIME\>/SB_NOATIME/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_NODIRATIME\>/SB_NODIRATIME/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_SILENT\>/SB_SILENT/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_POSIXACL\>/SB_POSIXACL/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_KERNMOUNT\>/SB_KERNMOUNT/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_I_VERSION\>/SB_I_VERSION/g' \ -e 's/\<MS_LAZYTIME\>/SB_LAZYTIME/g' \ $list and commit it with something along the lines of 'convert filesystems away from use of MS_... constants' as commit message, it would save a quite a bit of headache next cycle" * 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flags VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to sb_rdonly(sb) vfs: Add sb_rdonly(sb) to query the MS_RDONLY flag on s_flags

2017-09-06fscache: remove unused ->now_uncached callbackJan Kara1-2/+0
Patch series "Ranged pagevec lookup", v2. In this series I make pagevec_lookup() update the index (to be consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation for ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code but is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch 4/10) where radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after the end of the range has measurable overhead. This patch (of 10): The callback doesn't ever get called. Remove it.
