Subject: Revert "fs: use RCU read side protection in d_validate"

This reverts commit 3825bdb7ed920845961f32f364454bee5f469abb.

You cannot dget() a dentry without having a reference, or holding
a lock that guarantees it remains valid.

Subject: fs: d_validate fixes

d_validate has been broken for a long time.

kmem_ptr_validate does not guarantee that a pointer can be dereferenced
if it can go away at any time. Even rcu_read_lock doesn't help, because
the pointer might be queued in RCU callbacks but not executed yet.

So the parent cannot be checked, nor the name hashed. The dentry pointer
can not be touched until it can be verified under lock. Hashing simply
cannot be used.

Instead, verify the parent/child relationship by traversing parent's
d_child list. It's slow, but only ncpfs and the destaged smbfs care
about it, at this point.

Subject: vfs: revert per-cpu nr_unused counters for dentry and inodes

The nr_unused counters count the number of objects on an LRU, and as such they
are synchronized with LRU object insertion and removal and scanning, and
protected under the LRU lock.

Making it per-cpu does not actually get any concurrency improvements because of
this lock, and summing the counter is much slower, and
incrementing/decrementing it costs more code size and is slower too.

These counters should stay per-LRU, which currently means global.

Subject: fs: use fast counters for vfs caches

percpu_counter library generates quite nasty code, so unless you need
to dynamically allocate counters or take fast approximate value, a
simple per cpu set of counters is much better.

The percpu_counter can never be made to work as well, because it has an
indirection from pointer to percpu memory, and it can't use direct
this_cpu_inc interfaces because it doesn't use static PER_CPU data, so
code will always be worse.

In the fastpath, it is the difference between this:

        incl %gs:nr_dentry      # nr_dentry

and this:

        movl    percpu_counter_batch(%rip), %edx        # percpu_counter_batch,
        movl    $1, %esi        #,

From fe15ce446beb3a33583af81ffe6c9d01a75314ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:23 +1100
Subject: fs: change d_delete semantics

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.

This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

From fb2d5b86aff355a27ebfc132d3c99f4a940cc3fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:26 +1100
Subject: fs: name case update method

smpfs and ncpfs want to update a live dentry name in-place. Rather than
have them open code the locking, provide a documented dcache API.

From 621e155a3591962420eacdd39f6f0aa29ceb221e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:27 +1100
Subject: fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk

Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

From b1e6a015a580ad145689ad1d6b4aa0e03e6c868b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:28 +1100
Subject: fs: change d_hash for rcu-walk

Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar
patch for d_compare for details.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Subject: hostfs: simplify locking

Remove dcache_lock locking from hostfs filesystem, and move it into dcache
helpers. All that is required is a coherent path name. Protection from
concurrent modification of the namespace after path name generation is not
provided in current code, because dcache_lock is dropped before the path is
used.

Subject: fs: dcache scale lru

Add a new lock, dcache_lru_lock, to protect the dcache LRU list from concurrent
modification. d_lru is also protected by d_lock, which allows LRU lists to be
accessed without the lru lock, using RCU in future patches.

From b7ab39f631f505edc2bbdb86620d5493f995c9da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:32 +1100
Subject: fs: dcache scale dentry refcount

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.

Subject: fs: dcache scale d_unhashed

Protect d_unhashed(dentry) condition with d_lock. This means keeping
DCACHE_UNHASHED bit in synch with hash manipulations.

From 2fd6b7f50797f2e993eea59e0a0b8c6399c811dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:34 +1100
Subject: fs: dcache scale subdirs

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).

Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

From b23fb0a60379a95e10c671f646b259ea2558421e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:35 +1100
Subject: fs: scale inode alias list

Add a new lock, dcache_inode_lock, to protect the inode's i_dentry list
from concurrent modification. d_alias is also protected by d_lock.

Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:37 +1100
Subject: fs: Use rename lock and RCU for multi-step operations

The remaining usages for dcache_lock is to allow atomic, multi-step read-side
operations over the directory tree by excluding modifications to the tree.
Also, to walk in the leaf->root direction in the tree where we don't have
a natural d_lock ordering.

This could be accomplished by taking every d_lock, but this would mean a
huge number of locks and actually gets very tricky.

Solve this instead by using the rename seqlock for multi-step read-side
operations, retry in case of a rename so we don't walk up the wrong parent.
Concurrent dentry insertions are not serialised against.  Concurrent deletes
are tricky when walking up the directory: our parent might have been deleted
when dropping locks so also need to check and retry for that.

We can also use the rename lock in cases where livelock is a worry (and it
is introduced in subsequent patch).

Subject: fs: dcache avoid starvation in dcache multi-step operations

Long lived dcache "multi-step" operations which retry on rename seq can
be starved with a lot of rename activity. If they fail after the 1st pass,
take the rename_lock for writing to avoid further starvation.

It is possible to run dput without taking data structure locks up-front. In
many cases where we don't kill the dentry anyway, these locks are not required.

From dc0474be3e27463d4d4a2793f82366eed906f223 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: fs: dcache rationalise dget variants

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

Subject: fs: dcache reduce prune_one_dentry locking

prune_one_dentry can avoid quite a bit of locking in the common case where
ancestors have an elevated refcount. Alternatively, we could have gone the
other way and made fewer trylocks in the case where d_count goes to zero, but
is probably less common.

Subject: fs: consolidate dentry kill sequence

The tricky locking for disposing of a dentry is duplicated 3 times in the
dcache (dput, pruning a dentry from the LRU, and pruning its ancestors).
Consolidate them all into a single function dentry_kill.

Subject: fs: rcu-walk for path lookup

Perform common cases of path lookups without any stores or locking in the
ancestor dentry elements. This is called rcu-walk, as opposed to the current
algorithm which is a refcount based walk, or ref-walk.

This results in far fewer atomic operations on every path element,
significantly improving path lookup performance. It also avoids cacheline
bouncing on common dentries, significantly improving scalability.

The overall design is like this:
* LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk.
* Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring
  of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are
  not required for dentry persistence.
* synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can
  access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk.
* Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt
  refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount
  lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and
  down the path.
* Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode,
  so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its
  members have changed.
* Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent
  sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent
  during the path walk.
* inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for
  limited things.
* i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk.
* i_op can be loaded.

When we reach the destination dentry, we lock it, recheck lookup sequence,
and increment its refcount and mountpoint refcount. RCU and vfsmount locks
are dropped. This is termed "dropping rcu-walk". If the dentry refcount does
not match, we can not drop rcu-walk gracefully at the current point in the
lokup, so instead return -ECHILD (for want of a better errno). This signals the
path walking code to re-do the entire lookup with a ref-walk.

Aside from the final dentry, there are other situations that may be encounted
where we cannot continue rcu-walk. In that case, we drop rcu-walk (ie. take
a reference on the last good dentry) and continue with a ref-walk. Again, if
we can drop rcu-walk gracefully, we return -ECHILD and do the whole lookup
using ref-walk. But it is very important that we can continue with ref-walk
for most cases, particularly to avoid the overhead of double lookups, and to
gain the scalability advantages on common path elements (like cwd and root).

The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are:
* NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element)
* parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs
* dentries with d_revalidate
* Following links

In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It
may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.

Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the
very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated.

-RCU-based dcache locking model
-==============================
-
-On many workloads, the most common operation on dcache is to look up a
-dentry, given a parent dentry and the name of the child. Typically,
-for every open(), stat() etc., the dentry corresponding to the
-pathname will be looked up by walking the tree starting with the first
-component of the pathname and using that dentry along with the next
-component to look up the next level and so on. Since it is a frequent
-operation for workloads like multiuser environments and web servers,
-it is important to optimize this path.
-
-Prior to 2.5.10, dcache_lock was acquired in d_lookup and thus in
-every component during path look-up. Since 2.5.10 onwards, fast-walk
-algorithm changed this by holding the dcache_lock at the beginning and
-walking as many cached path component dentries as possible. This
-significantly decreases the number of acquisition of
-dcache_lock. However it also increases the lock hold time
-significantly and affects performance in large SMP machines. Since
-2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU
-to make dcache look-up lock-free.
-
-The current dcache locking model is not very different from the
-existing dcache locking model. Prior to 2.5.62 kernel, dcache_lock
-protected the hash chain, d_child, d_alias, d_lru lists as well as
-d_inode and several other things like mount look-up. RCU-based changes
-affect only the way the hash chain is protected. For everything else
-the dcache_lock must be taken for both traversing as well as
-updating. The hash chain updates too take the dcache_lock.  The
-significant change is the way d_lookup traverses the hash chain, it
-doesn't acquire the dcache_lock for this and rely on RCU to ensure
-that the dentry has not been *freed*.
-
-dcache_lock no longer exists, dentry locking is explained in fs/dcache.c
-
-Dcache locking details
-======================
-
-For many multi-user workloads, open() and stat() on files are very
-frequently occurring operations. Both involve walking of path names to
-find the dentry corresponding to the concerned file. In 2.4 kernel,
-dcache_lock was held during look-up of each path component. Contention
-and cache-line bouncing of this global lock caused significant
-scalability problems. With the introduction of RCU in Linux kernel,
-this was worked around by making the look-up of path components during
-path walking lock-free.
-
-
-Safe lock-free look-up of dcache hash table
-===========================================
-
-Dcache is a complex data structure with the hash table entries also
-linked together in other lists. In 2.4 kernel, dcache_lock protected
-all the lists. RCU dentry hash walking works like this:
-
-1. The deletion from hash chain is done using hlist_del_rcu() macro
-   which doesn't initialize next pointer of the deleted dentry and
-   this allows us to walk safely lock-free while a deletion is
-   happening. This is a standard hlist_rcu iteration.
-
-2. Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using
-   hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes - the
-   writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry is
-   inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu(),
-   which has since been replaced by hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), while
-   walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that all
-   initialization to the dentry must be done before
-   hlist_add_head_rcu() since we don't have lock protection
-   while traversing the hash chain.
-
-3. The dentry looked up without holding locks cannot be returned for
-   walking if it is unhashed. It then may have a NULL d_inode or other
-   bogosity since RCU doesn't protect the other fields in the dentry. We
-   therefore use a flag DCACHE_UNHASHED to indicate unhashed dentries
-   and use this in conjunction with a per-dentry lock (d_lock). Once
-   looked up without locks, we acquire the per-dentry lock (d_lock) and
-   check if the dentry is unhashed. If so, the look-up is failed. If not,
-   the reference count of the dentry is increased and the dentry is
-   returned.
-
-4. Once a dentry is looked up, it must be ensured during the path walk
-   for that component it doesn't go away. In pre-2.5.10 code, this was
-   done holding a reference to the dentry. dcache_rcu does the same.
-   In some sense, dcache_rcu path walking looks like the pre-2.5.10
-   version.
-
-5. All dentry hash chain updates must take the per-dentry lock (see
-   fs/dcache.c). This excludes dput() to ensure that a dentry that has
-   been looked up concurrently does not get deleted before dget() can
-   take a ref.
-
-6. There are several ways to do reference counting of RCU protected
-   objects. One such example is in ipv4 route cache where deferred
-   freeing (using call_rcu()) is done as soon as the reference count
-   goes to zero. This cannot be done in the case of dentries because
-   tearing down of dentries require blocking (dentry_iput()) which
-   isn't supported from RCU callbacks. Instead, tearing down of
-   dentries happen synchronously in dput(), but actual freeing happens
-   later when RCU grace period is over. This allows safe lock-free
-   walking of the hash chains, but a matched dentry may have been
-   partially torn down. The checking of DCACHE_UNHASHED flag with
-   d_lock held detects such dentries and prevents them from being
-   returned from look-up.
-
-
-Maintaining POSIX rename semantics
-==================================
-
-Since look-up of dentries is lock-free, it can race against a
-concurrent rename operation. For example, during rename of file A to
-B, look-up of either A or B must succeed.  So, if look-up of B happens
-after A has been removed from the hash chain but not added to the new
-hash chain, it may fail.  Also, a comparison while the name is being
-written concurrently by a rename may result in false positive matches
-violating rename semantics.  Issues related to race with rename are
-handled as described below :
-
-1. Look-up can be done in two ways - d_lookup() which is safe from
-   simultaneous renames and __d_lookup() which is not.  If
-   __d_lookup() fails, it must be followed up by a d_lookup() to
-   correctly determine whether a dentry is in the hash table or
-   not. d_lookup() protects look-ups using a sequence lock
-   (rename_lock).
-
-2. The name associated with a dentry (d_name) may be changed if a
-   rename is allowed to happen simultaneously. To avoid memcmp() in
-   __d_lookup() go out of bounds due to a rename and false positive
-   comparison, the name comparison is done while holding the
-   per-dentry lock. This prevents concurrent renames during this
-   operation.
-
-3. Hash table walking during look-up may move to a different bucket as
-   the current dentry is moved to a different bucket due to rename.
-   But we use hlists in dcache hash table and they are
-   null-terminated.  So, even if a dentry moves to a different bucket,
-   hash chain walk will terminate. [with a list_head list, it may not
-   since termination is when the list_head in the original bucket is
-   reached].  Since we redo the d_parent check and compare name while
-   holding d_lock, lock-free look-up will not race against d_move().
-
-4. There can be a theoretical race when a dentry keeps coming back to
-   original bucket due to double moves. Due to this look-up may
-   consider that it has never moved and can end up in a infinite loop.
-   But this is not any worse that theoretical livelocks we already
-   have in the kernel.
-
-
-Important guidelines for filesystem developers related to dcache_rcu
-====================================================================
-
-1. Existing dcache interfaces (pre-2.5.62) exported to filesystem
-   don't change. Only dcache internal implementation changes. However
-   filesystems *must not* delete from the dentry hash chains directly
-   using the list macros like allowed earlier. They must use dcache
-   APIs like d_drop() or __d_drop() depending on the situation.
-
-2. d_flags is now protected by a per-dentry lock (d_lock). All access
-   to d_flags must be protected by it.
-
-3. For a hashed dentry, checking of d_count needs to be protected by
-   d_lock.
-
-

+will be resolved. Paths are resolved by walking the namespace tree, starting
+with the first component of the pathname (eg. root or cwd) with a known dentry,
+then finding the child of that dentry, which is named the next component in the
+path string. Then repeating the lookup from the child dentry and finding its
+child with the next element, and so on.
+
+Since it is a frequent operation for workloads like multiuser environments and
+web servers, it is important to optimize this code.
+
+Path walking synchronisation history:
+Prior to 2.5.10, dcache_lock was acquired in d_lookup (dcache hash lookup) and
+thus in every component during path look-up. Since 2.5.10 onwards, fast-walk
+algorithm changed this by holding the dcache_lock at the beginning and walking
+as many cached path component dentries as possible. This significantly
+decreases the number of acquisition of dcache_lock. However it also increases
+the lock hold time significantly and affects performance in large SMP machines.
+Since 2.5.62 kernel, dcache has been using a new locking model that uses RCU to
+make dcache look-up lock-free.
+
+All the above algorithms required taking a lock and reference count on the
+dentry that was looked up, so that may be used as the basis for walking the
+next path element. This is inefficient and unscalable. It is inefficient
+because of the locks and atomic operations required for every dentry element
+slows things down. It is not scalable because many parallel applications that
+are path-walk intensive tend to do path lookups starting from a common dentry
+(usually, the root "/" or current working directory). So contention on these
+common path elements causes lock and cacheline queueing.
+
+Since 2.6.38, RCU is used to make a significant part of the entire path walk
+(including dcache look-up) completely "store-free" (so, no locks, atomics, or
+even stores into cachelines of common dentries). This is known as "rcu-walk"
+path walking.
+
+Path walking overview
+=====================
+
+A name string specifies a start (root directory, cwd, fd-relative) and a
+sequence of elements (directory entry names), which together refer to a path in
+the namespace. A path is represented as a (dentry, vfsmount) tuple. The name
+elements are sub-strings, seperated by '/'.
+
+Name lookups will want to find a particular path that a name string refers to
+(usually the final element, or parent of final element). This is done by taking
+the path given by the name's starting point (which we know in advance -- eg.
+current->fs->cwd or current->fs->root) as the first parent of the lookup. Then
+iteratively for each subsequent name element, look up the child of the current
+parent with the given name and if it is not the desired entry, make it the
+parent for the next lookup.
+
+A parent, of course, must be a directory, and we must have appropriate
+permissions on the parent inode to be able to walk into it.
+
+Turning the child into a parent for the next lookup requires more checks and
+procedures. Symlinks essentially substitute the symlink name for the target
+name in the name string, and require some recursive path walking.  Mount points
+must be followed into (thus changing the vfsmount that subsequent path elements
+refer to), switching from the mount point path to the root of the particular
+mounted vfsmount. These behaviours are variously modified depending on the
+exact path walking flags.
+
+Path walking then must, broadly, do several particular things:
+- find the start point of the walk;
+- perform permissions and validity checks on inodes;
+- perform dcache hash name lookups on (parent, name element) tuples;
+- traverse mount points;
+- traverse symlinks;
+- lookup and create missing parts of the path on demand.
+
+Safe store-free look-up of dcache hash table
+============================================
+
+Dcache name lookup
+------------------
+In order to lookup a dcache (parent, name) tuple, we take a hash on the tuple
+and use that to select a bucket in the dcache-hash table. The list of entries
+in that bucket is then walked, and we do a full comparison of each entry
+against our (parent, name) tuple.
+
+The hash lists are RCU protected, so list walking is not serialised with
+concurrent updates (insertion, deletion from the hash). This is a standard RCU
+list application with the exception of renames, which will be covered below.
+
+Parent and name members of a dentry, as well as its membership in the dcache
+hash, and its inode are protected by the per-dentry d_lock spinlock. A
+reference is taken on the dentry (while the fields are verified under d_lock),
+and this stabilises its d_inode pointer and actual inode. This gives a stable
+point to perform the next step of our path walk against.
+
+These members are also protected by d_seq seqlock, although this offers
+read-only protection and no durability of results, so care must be taken when
+using d_seq for synchronisation (see seqcount based lookups, below).
+
+Renames
+-------
+Back to the rename case. In usual RCU protected lists, the only operations that
+will happen to an object is insertion, and then eventually removal from the
+list. The object will not be reused until an RCU grace period is complete.
+This ensures the RCU list traversal primitives can run over the object without
+problems (see RCU documentation for how this works).
+
+However when a dentry is renamed, its hash value can change, requiring it to be
+moved to a new hash list. Allocating and inserting a new alias would be
+expensive and also problematic for directory dentries. Latency would be far to
+high to wait for a grace period after removing the dentry and before inserting
+it in the new hash bucket. So what is done is to insert the dentry into the
+new list immediately.
+
+However, when the dentry's list pointers are updated to point to objects in the
+new list before waiting for a grace period, this can result in a concurrent RCU
+lookup of the old list veering off into the new (incorrect) list and missing
+the remaining dentries on the list.
+
+There is no fundamental problem with walking down the wrong list, because the
+dentry comparisons will never match. However it is fatal to miss a matching
+dentry. So a seqlock is used to detect when a rename has occurred, and so the
+lookup can be retried.
+

+        +---+  +---+  +---+
+
+Rename of dentry 2 may require it deleted from the above list, and inserted
+into a new list. Deleting 2 gives the following list.
+
+         1             3
+        +---+         +---+     (don't worry, the longer pointers do not

+          |    | N-+----+
+          +----+-P |
+               +---+
+
+This is a standard RCU-list deletion, which leaves the deleted object's
+pointers intact, so a concurrent list walker that is currently looking at
+object 2 will correctly continue to object 3 when it is time to traverse the
+next object.
+
+However, when inserting object 2 onto a new list, we end up with this:
+
+         1             3
+        +---+         +---+
+hlist-->| N-+-------->| N-+->

+               | N-+---->
+          <----+-P |
+               +---+
+
+Because we didn't wait for a grace period, there may be a concurrent lookup
+still at 2. Now when it follows 2's 'next' pointer, it will walk off into
+another list without ever having checked object 3.
+
+A related, but distinctly different, issue is that of rename atomicity versus
+lookup operations. If a file is renamed from 'A' to 'B', a lookup must only
+find either 'A' or 'B'. So if a lookup of 'A' returns NULL, a subsequent lookup
+of 'B' must succeed (note the reverse is not true).
+
+Between deleting the dentry from the old hash list, and inserting it on the new
+hash list, a lookup may find neither 'A' nor 'B' matching the dentry. The same
+rename seqlock is also used to cover this race in much the same way, by
+retrying a negative lookup result if a rename was in progress.
+
+Seqcount based lookups
+----------------------
+In refcount based dcache lookups, d_lock is used to serialise access to
+the dentry, stabilising it while comparing its name and parent and then
+taking a reference count (the reference count then gives a stable place to
+start the next part of the path walk from).
+
+As explained above, we would like to do path walking without taking locks or
+reference counts on intermediate dentries along the path. To do this, a per
+dentry seqlock (d_seq) is used to take a "coherent snapshot" of what the dentry
+looks like (its name, parent, and inode). That snapshot is then used to start
+the next part of the path walk. When loading the coherent snapshot under d_seq,
+care must be taken to load the members up-front, and use those pointers rather
+than reloading from the dentry later on (otherwise we'd have interesting things
+like d_inode going NULL underneath us, if the name was unlinked).
+
+Also important is to avoid performing any destructive operations (pretty much:
+no non-atomic stores to shared data), and to recheck the seqcount when we are
+"done" with the operation. Retry or abort if the seqcount does not match.
+Avoiding destructive or changing operations means we can easily unwind from
+failure.
+
+What this means is that a caller, provided they are holding RCU lock to
+protect the dentry object from disappearing, can perform a seqcount based
+lookup which does not increment the refcount on the dentry or write to
+it in any way. This returned dentry can be used for subsequent operations,
+provided that d_seq is rechecked after that operation is complete.
+
+Inodes are also rcu freed, so the seqcount lookup dentry's inode may also be
+queried for permissions.
+
+With this two parts of the puzzle, we can do path lookups without taking
+locks or refcounts on dentry elements.
+
+RCU-walk path walking design
+============================
+
+Path walking code now has two distinct modes, ref-walk and rcu-walk. ref-walk
+is the traditional[*] way of performing dcache lookups using d_lock to
+serialise concurrent modifications to the dentry and take a reference count on
+it. ref-walk is simple and obvious, and may sleep, take locks, etc while path
+walking is operating on each dentry. rcu-walk uses seqcount based dentry
+lookups, and can perform lookup of intermediate elements without any stores to
+shared data in the dentry or inode. rcu-walk can not be applied to all cases,
+eg. if the filesystem must sleep or perform non trivial operations, rcu-walk
+must be switched to ref-walk mode.
+
+[*] RCU is still used for the dentry hash lookup in ref-walk, but not the full
+    path walk.
+
+Where ref-walk uses a stable, refcounted ``parent'' to walk the remaining
+path string, rcu-walk uses a d_seq protected snapshot. When looking up a
+child of this parent snapshot, we open d_seq critical section on the child
+before closing d_seq critical section on the parent. This gives an interlocking
+ladder of snapshots to walk down.
+
+
+     proc 101
+      /----------------\
+     / comm:    "vi"    \
+    /  fs.root: dentry0  \
+    \  fs.cwd:  dentry2  /
+     \                  /
+      \----------------/
+
+So when vi wants to open("/home/npiggin/test.c", O_RDWR), then it will
+start from current->fs->root, which is a pinned dentry. Alternatively,
+"./test.c" would start from cwd; both names refer to the same path in
+the context of proc101.
+
+     dentry 0
+    +---------------------+   rcu-walk begins here, we note d_seq, check the
+    | name:    "/"        |   inode's permission, and then look up the next
+    | inode:   10         |   path element which is "home"...
+    | children:"home", ...|
+    +---------------------+
+              |
+     dentry 1 V
+    +---------------------+   ... which brings us here. We find dentry1 via
+    | name:    "home"     |   hash lookup, then note d_seq and compare name
+    | inode:   678        |   string and parent pointer. When we have a match,
+    | children:"npiggin"  |   we now recheck the d_seq of dentry0. Then we
+    +---------------------+   check inode and look up the next element.
+              |
+     dentry2  V
+    +---------------------+   Note: if dentry0 is now modified, lookup is
+    | name:    "npiggin"  |   not necessarily invalid, so we need only keep a
+    | inode:   543        |   parent for d_seq verification, and grandparents
+    | children:"a.c", ... |   can be forgotten.
+    +---------------------+
+              |
+     dentry3  V
+    +---------------------+   At this point we have our destination dentry.
+    | name:    "a.c"      |   We now take its d_lock, verify d_seq of this
+    | inode:   14221      |   dentry. If that checks out, we can increment
+    | children:NULL       |   its refcount because we're holding d_lock.
+    +---------------------+
+
+Taking a refcount on a dentry from rcu-walk mode, by taking its d_lock,
+re-checking its d_seq, and then incrementing its refcount is called
+"dropping rcu" or dropping from rcu-walk into ref-walk mode.
+
+It is, in some sense, a bit of a house of cards. If the seqcount check of the
+parent snapshot fails, the house comes down, because we had closed the d_seq
+section on the grandparent, so we have nothing left to stand on. In that case,
+the path walk must be fully restarted (which we do in ref-walk mode, to avoid
+live locks). It is costly to have a full restart, but fortunately they are
+quite rare.
+
+When we reach a point where sleeping is required, or a filesystem callout
+requires ref-walk, then instead of restarting the walk, we attempt to drop rcu
+at the last known good dentry we have. Avoiding a full restart in ref-walk in
+these cases is fundamental for performance and scalability because blocking
+operations such as creates and unlinks are not uncommon.
+
+The detailed design for rcu-walk is like this:
+* LOOKUP_RCU is set in nd->flags, which distinguishes rcu-walk from ref-walk.
+* Take the RCU lock for the entire path walk, starting with the acquiring
+  of the starting path (eg. root/cwd/fd-path). So now dentry refcounts are
+  not required for dentry persistence.
+* synchronize_rcu is called when unregistering a filesystem, so we can
+  access d_ops and i_ops during rcu-walk.
+* Similarly take the vfsmount lock for the entire path walk. So now mnt
+  refcounts are not required for persistence. Also we are free to perform mount
+  lookups, and to assume dentry mount points and mount roots are stable up and
+  down the path.
+* Have a per-dentry seqlock to protect the dentry name, parent, and inode,
+  so we can load this tuple atomically, and also check whether any of its
+  members have changed.
+* Dentry lookups (based on parent, candidate string tuple) recheck the parent
+  sequence after the child is found in case anything changed in the parent
+  during the path walk.
+* inode is also RCU protected so we can load d_inode and use the inode for
+  limited things.
+* i_mode, i_uid, i_gid can be tested for exec permissions during path walk.
+* i_op can be loaded.
+* When the destination dentry is reached, drop rcu there (ie. take d_lock,
+  verify d_seq, increment refcount).
+* If seqlock verification fails anywhere along the path, do a full restart
+  of the path lookup in ref-walk mode. -ECHILD tends to be used (for want of
+  a better errno) to signal an rcu-walk failure.
+
+The cases where rcu-walk cannot continue are:
+* NULL dentry (ie. any uncached path element)
+* parent with d_inode->i_op->permission or ACLs
+* dentries with d_revalidate
+* Following links
+
+In future patches, permission checks and d_revalidate become rcu-walk aware. It
+may be possible eventually to make following links rcu-walk aware.
+
+Uncached path elements will always require dropping to ref-walk mode, at the
+very least because i_mutex needs to be grabbed, and objects allocated.
+
+Final note:
+"store-free" path walking is not strictly store free. We take vfsmount lock
+and refcounts (both of which can be made per-cpu), and we also store to the
+stack (which is essentially CPU-local), and we also have to take locks and
+refcount on final dentry.
+
+The point is that shared data, where practically possible, is not locked
+or stored into. The result is massive improvements in performance and
+scalability of path resolution.

Subject: fs: dcache remove d_mounted

Rather than keep a d_mounted count in the dentry, set a dentry flag instead.
The flag can be cleared by checking the hash table to see if there are any
mounts left, which is not time critical because it is performed at detach time.

The mounted state of a dentry is only used to speculatively take a look in the
mount hash table if it is set -- before following the mount, vfsmount lock is
taken and mount re-checked without races.

This saves 4 bytes on 32-bit, nothing on 64-bit but it does provide a hole I
might use later (and some configs have larger than 32-bit spinlocks which might
make use of the hole).

Autofs4 conversion and changelog by Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>:
In autofs4, when expring direct (or offset) mounts we need to ensure that we
block user path walks into the autofs mount, which is covered by another mount.
To do this we clear the mounted status so that follows stop before walking into
the mount and are essentially blocked until the expire is completed. The
automount daemon still finds the correct dentry for the umount due to the
follow mount logic in fs/autofs4/root.c:autofs4_follow_link(), which is set as
an inode operation for direct and offset mounts only and is called following
the lookup that stopped at the covered mount.

At the end of the expire the covering mount probably has gone away so the
mounted status need not be restored. But we need to check this and only restore
the mounted status if the expire failed.

XXX: autofs may not work right if we have other mounts go over the top of it?

Subject: fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

From 44a7d7a878c9cbb74f236ea755b25b6b2e26a9a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:56 +1100
Subject: fs: cache optimise dentry and inode for rcu-walk

Put dentry and inode fields into top of data structure.  This allows RCU path
traversal to perform an RCU dentry lookup in a path walk by touching only the
first 56 bytes of the dentry.

We also fit in 8 bytes of inline name in the first 64 bytes, so for short
names, only 64 bytes needs to be touched to perform the lookup. We should
get rid of the hash->prev pointer from the first 64 bytes, and fit 16 bytes
of name in there, which will take care of 81% rather than 32% of the kernel
tree.

inode is also rearranged so that RCU lookup will only touch a single cacheline
in the inode, plus one in the i_ops structure.

This is important for directory component lookups in RCU path walking. In the
kernel source, directory names average is around 6 chars, so this works.

When we reach the last element of the lookup, we need to lock it and take its
refcount which requires another cacheline access.

Align dentry and inode operations structs, so members will be at predictable
offsets and we can group common operations into head of structure.

Subject: fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking

dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).

From 4b936885ab04dc6e0bb0ef35e0e23c1a7364d9e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:50:07 +1100
Subject: fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystems

Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely
always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children
under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected
dentries because by definition they are disconnected.

Subject: fs: prefetch inode data in dcache lookup

This makes single threaded git diff -1.25% +/- 0.05% elapsed time on my
2s12c24t Westmere system, and -0.86% +/- 0.05% on my 2s8c Barcelona, by
prefetching the important first cacheline of the inode in while we do the
actual name compare and other operations on the dentry.

There was no measurable slowdown in the single file stat case, or the creat
case (where negative dentries would be common).

Subject: fs: implement faster dentry memcmp

The standard memcmp function on a Westmere system shows up hot in
profiles in the `git diff` workload (both parallel and single threaded),
and it is likely due to the costs associated with trapping into
microcode, and little opportunity to improve memory access (dentry
name is not likely to take up more than a cacheline).

So replace it with an open-coded byte comparison. This increases code
size by 8 bytes in the critical __d_lookup_rcu function, but the
speedup is huge, averaging 10 runs of each:

git diff st   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.15   2.57  3.82      97.1
after         1.14   2.35  3.61      96.8

git diff mt   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.27   3.85  1.46     349
after         1.26   3.54  1.43     333

Elapsed time for single threaded git diff at 95.0% confidence:
        -0.21  +/- 0.01
        -5.45% +/- 0.24%

It's -0.66% +/- 0.06% elapsed time on my Opteron, so rep cmp costs on the
fam10h seem to be relatively smaller, but there is still a win.
