2010-05-29ceph: clean up on forwarded aborted mds requestSage Weil1-4/+9
If an mds request is aborted (timeout, SIGKILL), it is left registered to keep our state in sync with the mds. If we get a forward notification, though, we know the request didn't succeed and we can unregister it safely. We were trying to resend it, but then bailing out (and not unregistering) in __do_request. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2010-05-29ceph: close out mds, osd connections before stopping authSage Weil3-1/+16
The auth module (part of the mon_client) is needed to free any ceph_authorizer(s) used by the mds and osd connections. Flush the msgr workqueue before stopping monc to ensure that the destroy_authorizer auth op is available when those connections are closed out. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-05-29ceph: make lease code DN specificSage Weil2-12/+13
The lease code includes a mask in the CEPH_LOCK_* namespace, but that namespace is changing, and only one mask (formerly _DN == 1) is used, so hard code for that value for now. If we ever extend this code to handle leases over different data types we can extend it accordingly. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a no-op. In the case of fs/ceph/inode.c, ERR_CAST is not needed, because the type of the returned value is the same as the type of the enclosing function.

2010-05-29ceph: make mds requests killable, not interruptibleSage Weil1-2/+2
The underlying problem is that many mds requests can't be restarted. For example, a restarted create() would return -EEXIST if the original request succeeds. However, we do not want a hung MDS to hang the client too. So, use the _killable wait_for_completion variants to abort on SIGKILL but nothing else. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2010-05-28fs: introduce new truncate sequencenpiggin@suse.de4-56/+254
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

2010-05-28fs/minix: bugfix, number of indirect block ptrs per block depends on block sizeErik van der Kouwe1-12/+15
The MINIX filesystem driver used a constant number of indirect block pointers in an indirect block. This worked only for filesystems with 1kb block, while the MINIX default block size is now 4kb. As a consequence, large files were read incorrectly on such filesystems and writing a large file would cause the filesystem to become corrupted. This patch computes the number of indirect block pointers based on the block size, making the driver work for each block size. I would like to thank Feiran Zheng ('Fam') for pointing out the cause of the corruption. Signed-off-by: Erik van der Kouwe <vdkouwe@cs.vu.nl> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-05-28rename the generic fsync implementationsChristoph Hellwig20-28/+40
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently. The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with, the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync which can lead to some confusion. This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-05-28get rid of the magic around f_count in aioAl Viro2-14/+13
__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed work do __fput() on it. Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1) instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work. I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper - fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput() use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount now. And __fput() became static. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-05-28VFS: fix recent breakage of FS_REVAL_DOTNeil Brown1-1/+1
Commit 1f36f774b22a0ceb7dd33eca626746c81a97b6a5 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics. In particular, before this patch, the command ls -l in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir. After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until the cached attributes for the directory time out. The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by do_last when "." is being looked-up. link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation. The following patch restores the original behaviour. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-05-27fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKLjan Blunck8-0/+9
Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the filesystem still uses the big kernel lock. Since llseek() modifies file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as provided by generic_file_llseek(). This is only possible since all filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or with disk address offsets. Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) - blocksize).

2010-05-27aio: fix the compat vectored operationsJeff Moyer2-25/+42
The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to 64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb array. A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success. Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32 on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be welcome.

2010-05-27proc: get_nr_threads() doesn't need ->siglock any longerOleg Nesterov2-14/+2
Now that task->signal can't go away get_nr_threads() doesn't need ->siglock to read signal->count. Also, make it inline, move into sched.h, and convert 2 other proc users of signal->count to use this (now trivial) helper. Henceforth get_nr_threads() is the only valid user of signal->count, we are ready to turn it into "int nr_threads" or, perhaps, kill it.

2010-05-27exit: avoid sig->count in de_thread/__exit_signal synchronizationOleg Nesterov1-6/+5
de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for synchronization. We can simplify the code and use ->notify_count only. Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set ->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task. Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.

2010-05-27coredump: shift down_write(mmap_sem) into coredump_wait()Oleg Nesterov1-12/+7
- move the cprm.mm_flags checks up, before we take mmap_sem - move down_write(mmap_sem) and ->core_state check from do_coredump() to coredump_wait() This simplifies the code and makes the locking symmetrical.

2010-05-27exec: replace call_usermodehelper_pipe with use of umh init function and ↵Neil Horman1-7/+56
resolve limit The first patch in this series introduced an init function to the call_usermodehelper api so that processes could be customized by caller. This patch takes advantage of that fact, by customizing the helper in do_coredump to create the pipe and set its core limit to one (for our recusrsion check). This lets us clean up the previous uglyness in the usermodehelper internals and factor call_usermodehelper out entirely. While I'm at it, we can also modify the helper setup to look for a core limit value of 1 rather than zero for our recursion check Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-05-27ufs: permit mounting of BorderWare filesystemsThomas Stewart2-0/+3
I recently had to recover some files from an old broken machine that was running BorderWare Document Gateway. It's basically a drop in web server for sharing files. From the look of the init process and using strings on of a few files it seems to be based on FreeBSD 3.3. The process turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, but to cut a long story short BorderWare in their wisdom use a nonstandard magic number in their UFS (ufstype=44bsd) file systems. Thus Linux refuses to mount the file systems in order to recover the data. After a bit of hunting I was able to make a quick fix to fs/ufs/super.c in order to detect the new magic number. I assume that this number is the same for all installations. It's quite easy to find out from ufs_fs.h. The superblock sits 8k into the block device and the magic number its 1372 bytes into the superblock struct. # dd if=/dev/sda5 skip=$(( 8192 + 1372 )) bs=1 count=4 2> /dev/null | hd 00000000 97 26 24 0f |.&$.| # Signed-off-by: Thomas Stewart <thomas@stewarts.org.uk> Cc: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
