2015-04-15cleancache: remove limit on the number of cleancache enabled filesystemsVladimir Davydov1-0/+4
The limit equals 32 and is imposed by the number of entries in the fs_poolid_map and shared_fs_poolid_map. Nowadays it is insufficient, because with containers on board a Linux host can have hundreds of active fs mounts. These maps were introduced by commit 49a9ab815acb8 ("mm: cleancache: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules") in order to allow compiling cleancache drivers as modules. Real pool ids are stored in these maps while super_block->cleancache_poolid points to an entry in the map, so that on cleancache registration we can walk over all (if there are <= 32 of them, of course) cleancache-enabled super blocks and assign real pool ids. Actually, there is absolutely no need in these maps, because we can iterate over all super blocks immediately using iterate_supers. This is not racy, because cleancache_init_ops is called from mount_fs with super_block->s_umount held for writing, while iterate_supers takes this semaphore for reading, so if we call iterate_supers after setting cleancache_ops, all super blocks that had been created before cleancache_register_ops was called will be assigned pool ids by the action function of iterate_supers while all newer super blocks will receive it in cleancache_init_fs. This patch therefore removes the maps and hence the artificial limit on the number of cleancache enabled filesystems.

2015-04-15cleancache: forbid overriding cleancache_opsVladimir Davydov1-2/+1
Currently, cleancache_register_ops returns the previous value of cleancache_ops to allow chaining. However, chaining, as it is implemented now, is extremely dangerous due to possible pool id collisions. Suppose, a new cleancache driver is registered after the previous one assigned an id to a super block. If the new driver assigns the same id to another super block, which is perfectly possible, we will have two different filesystems using the same id. No matter if the new driver implements chaining or not, we are likely to get data corruption with such a configuration eventually. This patch therefore disables the ability to override cleancache_ops altogether as potentially dangerous. If there is already cleancache driver registered, all further calls to cleancache_register_ops will return EBUSY. Since no user of cleancache implements chaining, we only need to make minor changes to the code outside the cleancache core.

2015-04-15cleancache: zap uuid arg of cleancache_init_shared_fsVladimir Davydov1-3/+3
Use super_block->s_uuid instead. Every shared filesystem using cleancache must now initialize super_block->s_uuid before calling cleancache_init_shared_fs. The only one on the tree, ocfs2, already meets this requirement.

Instead of using a backend_registered to determine whether a backend is enabled.

2011-05-26mm: cleancache core ops functions and configDan Magenheimer1-0/+122
This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also includes build and config patches. Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h. Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off. However for this first commit, it defaults to off.
