2009-12-10vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semanticsChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
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.

2009-08-12NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...Trond Myklebust1-4/+2
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment() causes an Oops. We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in those cases. Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

2009-03-11NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to diskTrond Myklebust1-9/+19
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.

2008-04-19NFS: Fix nfs_wb_page() to always exit with an error or a clean pageTrond Myklebust1-11/+12
It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet the page is left in a dirty state. For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk, have to be redirtied and resent to the server. The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean before it exits... This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path. Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

2008-03-19nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_requestFred Isaman1-1/+7
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks.

We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on it.

2008-02-07NFS: Fix a potential file corruption issue when writingTrond Myklebust1-3/+17
If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation" write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date. A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario: client 1 client 2 =============== =============== fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644); write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"foo\n",4); close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"bar\n",4); close(fd); ----- The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2) Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.
