2024-07-24sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlersJoel Granados1-1/+1
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

2024-07-24inode: clarify what's lockedChristian Brauner1-11/+11
In __wait_on_freeing_inode() we warn in case the inode_hash_lock is held but the inode is unhashed. We then release the inode_lock. So using "locked" as parameter name is confusing. Use is_inode_hash_locked as parameter name instead. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
2024-07-24vfs: handle __wait_on_freeing_inode() and evict() raceMateusz Guzik1-0/+20
Lockless hash lookup can find and lock the inode after it gets the I_FREEING flag set, at which point it blocks waiting for teardown in evict() to finish. However, the flag is still set even after evict() wakes up all waiters. This results in a race where if the inode lock is taken late enough, it can happen after both hash removal and wakeups, meaning there is nobody to wake the racing thread up. This worked prior to RCU-based lookup because the entire ordeal was synchronized with the inode hash lock. Since unhashing requires the inode lock, we can safely check whether it happened after acquiring it.

2024-06-13vfs: partially sanitize i_state zeroing on inode creationMateusz Guzik1-10/+3
new_inode used to have the following: spin_lock(&inode_lock); inodes_stat.nr_inodes++; list_add(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use); list_add(&inode->i_sb_list, &sb->s_inodes); inode->i_ino = ++last_ino; inode->i_state = 0; spin_unlock(&inode_lock); over time things disappeared, got moved around or got replaced (global inode lock with a per-inode lock), eventually this got reduced to: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); inode->i_state = 0; spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); But the lock acquire here does not synchronize against anyone. Additionally iget5_locked performs i_state = 0 assignment without any locks to begin with, the two combined look confusing at best. It looks like the current state is a leftover which was not cleaned up. Ideally it would be an invariant that i_state == 0 to begin with, but achieving that would require dealing with all filesystem alloc handlers one by one. In the meantime drop the misleading locking and move i_state zeroing to inode_init_always so that others don't need to deal with it by hand.

2024-06-12vfs: add rcu-based find_inode variants for iget opsMateusz Guzik1-17/+80
This avoids one inode hash lock acquire in the common case on inode creation, in effect significantly reducing contention. On the stock kernel said lock is typically taken twice: 1. once to check if the inode happens to already be present 2. once to add it to the hash The back-to-back lock/unlock pattern is known to degrade performance significantly, which is further exacerbated if the hash is heavily populated (long chains to walk, extending hold time). Arguably hash sizing and hashing algo need to be revisited, but that's beyond the scope of this patch. With the acquire from step 1 eliminated with RCU lookup throughput increases significantly at the scale of 20 cores (benchmark results at the bottom). So happens the hash already supports RCU-based operation, but lookups on inode insertions didn't take advantage of it. This of course has its limits as the global lock is still a bottleneck. There was a patchset posted which introduced fine-grained locking[1] but it appears staled. Apart from that doubt was expressed whether a handrolled hash implementation is appropriate to begin with, suggesting replacement with rhashtables. Nobody committed to carrying [1] across the finish line or implementing anything better, thus the bandaid below. iget_locked consumers (notably ext4) get away without any changes because inode comparison method is built-in. iget5_locked consumers pass a custom callback. Since removal of locking adds more problems (inode can be changing) it's not safe to assume all filesystems happen to cope. Thus iget5_locked_rcu gets added, requiring manual conversion of interested filesystems. In order to reduce code duplication find_inode and find_inode_fast grow an argument indicating whether inode hash lock is held, which is passed down in case sleeping is necessary. They always rcu_read_lock, which is redundant but harmless. Doing it conditionally reduces readability for no real gain that I can see. RCU-alike restrictions were already put on callbacks due to the hash spinlock being held. Benchmarking: There is a real cache-busting workload scanning millions of files in parallel (it's a backup appliance), where the initial lookup is guaranteed to fail resulting in the two lock acquires on stock kernel (and one with the patch at hand). Implemented below is a synthetic benchmark providing the same behavior. [I shall note the workload is not running on Linux, instead it was causing trouble elsewhere. Benchmark below was used while addressing said problems and was found to adequately represent the real workload.] Total real time fluctuates by 1-2s. With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files directory tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB RAM vm: ext4 (needed mkfs.ext4 -N 24000000): before: 3.77s user 890.90s system 1939% cpu 46.118 total after: 3.24s user 397.73s system 1858% cpu 21.581 total (-53%) That's 20 million files to visit, while the machine can only cache about 15 million at a time (obtained from ext4_inode_cache object count in /proc/slabinfo). Since each terminal inode is only visited once per run this amounts to 0% hit ratio for the dentry cache and the hash table (there are however hits for the intermediate directories). On repeated runs the kernel caches the last ~15 mln, meaning there is ~5 mln of uncached inodes which are going to be visited first, evicting the previously cached state as it happens. Lack of hits can be trivially verified with bpftrace, like so: bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:find_inode_fast { @[kstack(), retval != 0] = count(); }'\ -c "/bin/sh walktrees /testfs 20" Best ran more than once. Expected results after "warmup": [snip] @[ __ext4_iget+275 ext4_lookup+224 __lookup_slow+130 walk_component+219 link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0+614 path_lookupat+62 filename_lookup+204 vfs_statx+128 vfs_fstatat+131 __do_sys_newfstatat+38 do_syscall_64+87 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118 , 1]: 20000 @[ __ext4_iget+275 ext4_lookup+224 __lookup_slow+130 walk_component+219 path_lookupat+106 filename_lookup+204 vfs_statx+128 vfs_fstatat+131 __do_sys_newfstatat+38 do_syscall_64+87 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118 , 1]: 20000000 That is 20 million calls for the initial lookup and 20 million after allocating a new inode, all of them failing to return a value != 0 (i.e., they are returning NULL -- no match found). Of course aborting the benchmark in the middle and starting it again (or messing with the state in other ways) is going to alter these results.

The root cause is that, one thread is doing page migration, and we will use the target page's ->mapping field to save 'anon_vma' pointer between page unmap and page move, and now the target page is locked and refcount is 1. Currently, there is another stress-ng thread performing memory hotplug, attempting to offline the target page that is being migrated. It discovers that the refcount of this target page is 1, preventing the offline operation, thus proceeding to dump the page. However, page_mapping() of the target page may return an incorrect file mapping to crash the system in dump_mapping(), since the target page->mapping only saves 'anon_vma' pointer without setting PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag. The page migration issue has been fixed by commit d1adb25df711 ("mm: migrate: fix getting incorrect page mapping during page migration"). In addition, Matthew suggested we should also improve dump_mapping()'s robustness to resilient against the kernel crash [1]. With checking the 'dentry.parent' and 'dentry.d_name.name' used by dentry_name(), I can see dump_mapping() will output the invalid dentry instead of crashing the system when this issue is reproduced again.

2023-12-12list_lru: allow explicit memcg and NUMA node selectionNhat Pham1-2/+2
Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback", v8. There are currently several issues with zswap writeback: 1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in the zswap pool. 2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds. This patch (of 6): The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our development. This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and list_lru_del_obj(), respectively. It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback, which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit memcg and NUMA node selection.

2023-11-20filemap: add a per-mapping stable writes flagChristoph Hellwig1-0/+2
folio_wait_stable waits for writeback to finish before modifying the contents of a folio again, e.g. to support check summing of the data in the block integrity code. Currently this behavior is controlled by the SB_I_STABLE_WRITES flag on the super_block, which means it is uniform for the entire file system. This is wrong for the block device pseudofs which is shared by all block devices, or file systems that can use multiple devices like XFS witht the RT subvolume or btrfs (although btrfs currently reimplements folio_wait_stable anyway). Add a per-address_space AS_STABLE_WRITES flag to control the behavior in a more fine grained way. The existing SB_I_STABLE_WRITES is kept to initialize AS_STABLE_WRITES to the existing default which covers most cases.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fses. Features: - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount. - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This helps in scenarios where we would usually only print "unknown-block(1,2)". - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the endless POSIX ACL saga in a way. When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end up with: (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs (2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer. This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that don't even have POSIX ACL support at all. Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all umask handling always in the vfs. - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too. - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider cleanup that was done. - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly from Amir: When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem. In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem objects that were accessed via overlayfs. This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring. This contains work to switch things around: instead of having filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed. Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path exposed by default. This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to catch if we have made any wrong assumptions. After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real(). - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work. Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always dodgy. I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion in the commit so adding it into the merge message: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com Cleanups: - Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock() from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new mechanism to wait on superblock state changes. This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a given block device. That series builds on this work right here. The second part contains filesystem freezing updates. Overview: The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows (ignoring additional minor cleanups): (1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device. This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get the same information so just get rid of this. (2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup. Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before the superblock allocation function has been called successfully. After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's brittle and inconsistent. Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That complexity should be avoided. This also means that block devices are to be closed in sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the lower section. (3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening block devices There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed. (4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic mount code now does as outlined in (3). (5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now easily go back from block device to owning superblock. (6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder ops. (7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem without risk of deadlocks. (8) Get rid of get_super(). We can now easily go back from the block device to owning superblock and can call up from the block layer into the filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock anymore" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824-prall-intakt-95dbffdee4a0@brauner/ * tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (47 commits) super: use higher-level helper for {freeze,thaw} super: wait until we passed kill super super: wait for nascent superblocks super: make locking naming consistent super: use locking helpers fs: simplify invalidate_inodes fs: remove get_super block: call into the file system for ioctl BLKFLSBUF block: call into the file system for bdev_mark_dead block: consolidate __invalidate_device and fsync_bdev block: drop the "busy inodes on changed media" log message dasd: also call __invalidate_device when setting the device offline amiflop: don't call fsync_bdev in FDFMTBEG floppy: call disk_force_media_change when changing the format block: simplify the disk_force_media_change interface nbd: call blk_mark_disk_dead in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl xfs use fs_holder_ops for the log and RT devices xfs: drop s_umount over opening the log and RT devices ext4: use fs_holder_ops for the log device ext4: drop s_umount over opening the log device ...

This carries acks from all relevant filesystems. The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime and mtime after a change.

A lot of changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the client decide to invalidate the cache.

Other applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g., backup applications). If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

2023-08-12locking: remove spin_lock_prefetchMateusz Guzik1-3/+0
The only remaining consumer is new_inode, where it showed up in 2001 as commit c37fa164f793 ("v2.4.9.9 -> v2.4.9.10") in a historical repo [1] with a changelog which does not mention it. Since then the line got only touched up to keep compiling. While it may have been of benefit back in the day, it is guaranteed to at best not get in the way in the multicore setting -- as the code performs *a lot* of work between the prefetch and actual lock acquire, any contention means the cacheline is already invalid by the time the routine calls spin_lock(). It adds spurious traffic, for short. On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded purposes, making it questionable from the get go. As such, remove it. I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I can do it if that is deemed appropriate. Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy.

Other applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g backup applications).

2023-08-09fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_timeJeff Layton1-18/+66
In future patches we're going to change how the ctime is updated to keep track of when it has been queried. The way that the update_time operation works (and a lot of its callers) make this difficult, since they grab a timestamp early and then pass it down to eventually be copied into the inode. All of the existing update_time callers pass in the result of current_time() in some fashion. Drop the "time" parameter from generic_update_time, and rework it to fetch its own timestamp. This change means that an update_time could fetch a different timestamp than was seen in inode_needs_update_time. update_time is only ever called with one of two flag combinations: Either S_ATIME is set, or S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION are set. With this change we now treat the flags argument as an indicator that some value needed to be updated when last checked, rather than an indication to update specific timestamps. Rework the logic for updating the timestamps and put it in a new inode_update_timestamps helper that other update_time routines can use. S_ATIME is as treated as we always have, but if any of the other three are set, then we attempt to update all three. Also, some callers of generic_update_time need to know what timestamps were actually updated. Change it to return an S_* flag mask to indicate that and rework the callers to expect it.
