Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately
decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling
what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files
there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their
site's situation.
Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and
a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default
policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for
preferred, bind, and interleave policies.
The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create
and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a
significantly reduced number of free pages.
With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for
that policy where they would prefer allocations.
This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I
added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist
mount option.

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very
different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we
can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems
duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems
lack some or all of them.
To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I
moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START

CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

This moves the 32 bit ioctl compatibility handlers for
Video4Linux into a new file and adds explicit calls to them
to each v4l device driver.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any code handling
the v4l2 ioctls, so quite often the code goes through two
separate conversions, first from 32 bit v4l to 64 bit v4l,
and from there to 64 bit v4l2. My patch does not change
that, so there is still much room for improvement.
Also, some drivers have additional ioctl numbers, for
which the conversion should be handled internally to
that driver.

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

__group_complete_signal() sets ->group_stop_count in sig_kernel_coredump()
path and marks the target thread as ->group_exit_task. So any thread
except group_exit_task will go to handle_group_stop()->finish_stop().
However, when group_exit_task actually starts do_coredump(), it sets
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, but does not reset ->group_stop_count while killing
other threads. If we have not yet stopped threads in the same thread
group, they all will spin in kernel mode until group_exit_task sends them
SIGKILL, because ->group_stop_count > 0 means:
recalc_sigpending_tsk() never clears TIF_SIGPENDING
get_signal_to_deliver() goes to handle_group_stop()
handle_group_stop() returns when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set
syscall_exit/resume_userspace notice TIF_SIGPENDING,
call get_signal_to_deliver() again.
So we are wasting cpu cycles, and if one of these threads is rt_task() this
may be a serious problem.
NOTE: do_coredump() holds ->mmap_sem, so not stopped threads can't escape
coredumping after clearing ->group_stop_count.

- jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.
- reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
it should take sector_t. (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)
- cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
filesystems anyway)
- affs is limited in file size anyway.
- I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.
- arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar. What if the page lies beyond 4G?
- gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)

When making an fctl locking call through compat_sys_fcntl64 (i.e. a 32bit
app on a 64bit kernel), the syscall can return a locking range that is in
conflict with the queried lock.
If some aspect of this range does not fit in the 32bit structure, something
needs to be done.
The current code is wrong in several respects:
- It returns data to userspace even if no conflict was found
i.e. it should check l_type for F_UNLCK
- It returns -EOVERFLOW too agressively. A lock range covering
the last possible byte of the file (start = COMPAT_OFF_T_MAX,
len = 1) should be possible, but is rejected with the current test.
- A extra-long 'len' should not be a problem. If only that part
of the conflicting lock that would be visible to the 32bit
app needs to be reported to the 32bit app anyway.
This patch addresses those three issues and adds a comment to (hopefully)
record it for posterity.
Note: this patch mainly affects test-cases. Real applications rarely is
ever see the problems.
This patch has been tested (LSB test suite), and works.

SUS requires that when truncating a file to the size that it currently
is:
truncate and ftruncate should NOT modify ctime or mtime
O_TRUNC SHOULD modify ctime and mtime.
Currently mtime and ctime are always modified on most local
filesystems (side effect of ->truncate) or never modified (on NFS).
With this patch:
ATTR_CTIME|ATTR_MTIME are sent with ATTR_SIZE precisely when
an update of these times is required whether size changes or not
(via a new argument to do_truncate). This allows NFS to do
the right thing for O_TRUNC.
inode_setattr nolonger forces ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME when the ATTR_SIZE
sets the size to it's current value. This allows local filesystems
to do the right thing for f?truncate.
Also, the logic in inode_setattr is changed a bit so there are two return
points. One returns the error from vmtruncate if it failed, the other
returns 0 (there can be no other failure).
Finally, if vmtruncate succeeds, and ATTR_SIZE is the only change
requested, we now fall-through and mark_inode_dirty. If a filesystem did
not have a ->truncate function, then vmtruncate will have changed i_size,
without marking the inode as 'dirty', and I think this is wrong.

The patch series implementa or fixes 3 things that were specifically requested
or suggested by relayfs users:
- support for non-relay files (patches 1-6)
Currently, the relayfs API only supports the creation of directories
(relayfs_create_dir()) and relay files (relay_open()). These patches adds
support for non-relay files (relayfs_create_file()). This is so relayfs
applications can create 'control files' in relayfs itself rather than in /proc
or via a netlink channel, as is currently done in the relay-app examples.
Basically what this amounts to is exporting relayfs_create_file() with an
additional file_ops param that clients can use to supply file operations for
their own special-purpose files in relayfs.
- make exported relay file ops useful (patches 7-8)
The relayfs relay_file_operations have always been exported, the intent being
to make it possible to create relay files in other filesystems such as
debugfs. The problem, though, is that currently the file operations are too
tightly coupled to relayfs to actually be used for this purpose. This patch
fixes that by adding a couple of callback functions that allow a client to
hook into relay_open()/close() and supply the files that will be used to
represent the channel buffers; the default implementation if no callbacks are
defined is to create the files in relayfs.
- add an option to create global relay buffer (patches 9-10) The file creation
callback also supplies an optional param, is_global, that can be used by
clients to create a single global relayfs buffer instead of the default
per-cpu buffers. This was suggested as being useful for certain debugging
applications where it's more convenient to be able to get all the data from a
single channel without having to go to the bother of dealing with per-cpu
files.
- cleanup, some renaming and Documentation updates (patches 11-12)
There were several comments that the use of netlink in the example code was
non-intuitive and in fact the whole relay-app business was needlessly
confusing. Based on that feedback, the example code has been completely
converted over to relayfs control files as supported by this patch, and have
also been made completely self-contained.
The converted examples along with a couple of new examples that demonstrate
using exported relay files can be found in relay-apps tarball:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/relayfs/relay-apps-0.9.tar.gz?download

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>
So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

- Add generic_cont_expand_simple().
The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.
And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
added generic_cont_expand_simple().

This patch add to support of ->direct_IO() for mostly read.
The user of this seems to want to use for streaming read. So, current direct
I/O has limitation, it can only overwrite. (For write operation, mainly we

patch 2ea55c01e0 fixed CIFS clobbering the
global fops structure for some per mount setting, by duplicating and having
2 fops structs. However the write to the fops was left behind, which is a
NOP in practice (due to the fact that we KNOW the fops has that field set
to NULL already due to the duplication). So remove it... In addition, another
instance of the same bug was forgotten in november.

Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. When written to, this will cause the kernel to
discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can. THis
operation requires root permissions.
It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first.
Caveats:
a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time.
b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through
so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.
This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between
filesystem benchmarks. We could possibly put it under a config option, but
it's less than 300 bytes.

We'd like to hide fields in rpc_xprt and rpc_clnt from upper layer protocols.
Start by creating an API to force RPC rebind, replacing logic that simply
sets cl_port to zero.
Test-plan:
Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon
with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked.
Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or
that returns an error for some typical operation.

Thanks to Ed Keizer for bug and root cause. He says: "... we could only mount
the top-level Solaris share. We could not mount deeper into the tree.
Investigation showed that Solaris allows UNIX authenticated FSINFO only on the
top level of the share. This is a problem because we share/export our home
directories one level higher than we mount them. I.e. we share the partition
and not the individual home directories. This prevented access to home
directories."
We still may need to try auth_sys for the case where the client doesn't have
appropriate credentials.

If the server receives an NLM cancel call and finds no waiting lock to
cancel, then chances are the lock has already been applied, and the client
just hadn't yet processed the NLM granted callback before it sent the
cancel.
The Open Group text, for example, perimts a server to return either success
(LCK_GRANTED) or failure (LCK_DENIED) in this case. But returning an error
seems more helpful; the client may be able to use it to recognize that a
race has occurred and to recover from the race.
So, modify the relevant functions to return an error in this case.

Currently when lockd gets an NLM_CANCEL request, it also does an unlock for
the same range. This is incorrect.
The Open Group documentation says that "This procedure cancels an
*outstanding* blocked lock request." (Emphasis mine.)
Also, consider a client that holds a lock on the first byte of a file, and
requests a lock on the entire file. If the client cancels that request
(perhaps because the requesting process is signalled), the server shouldn't
apply perform an unlock on the entire file, since that will also remove the
previous lock that the client was already granted.
Or consider a lock request that actually *downgraded* an exclusive lock to
a shared lock.
