instead of passing vector size (by value) and index (by reference), pass the number of elements remaining. That's all we care about in these functions by that point. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

lift iov one more level out - from process_vm_rw_single_vec to process_vm_rw_core(). Same story as with the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

move iov to caller's stack frame; the value we assign to it on the next call of process_vm_rw_pages() is equal to the value it had when the last time we were leaving process_vm_rw_pages(). drop lvec argument of process_vm_rw_pages() - it's not used anymore.

we want to massage it to use of iov_iter. This one is an equivalent transformation - just introduce a local variable mirroring lvec + *lvec_current. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

... and don't skip on sanity checks. It's *not* a hot path, TYVM (a couple of calls per a.out execve(), for pity sake) and headers of random a.out binary are not to be trusted. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

... we are doing them on adjacent parts of file, so what happens is that each subsequent call works to rebuild the iov_iter to exact state it had been abandoned in by previous one. Just keep it through the entire cifs_iovec_read(). And use copy_page_to_iter() instead of doing kmap/copy_to_user/kunmap manually... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

I've switched the sanity checks on iovec to rw_copy_check_uvector(); we might need to do a local analog, if any behaviour differences are not actually bugfixes here... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

generic_file_aio_read() was looping over the target iovec, with loop over (source) pages nested inside that. Just set an iov_iter up and pass *that* to do_generic_file_aio_read(). With copy_page_to_iter() doing all work of mapping and copying a page to iovec and advancing iov_iter. Switch shmem_file_aio_read() to the same and kill file_read_actor(), while we are at it.

Make delayed_free() call free_vfsmnt() so that we don't have two functions doing the same job. This requires the calls to mnt_free_id() in free_vfsmnt() to be moved into the callers of that function. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

new flag in ->f_mode - FMODE_WRITER. Set by do_dentry_open() in case when it has grabbed write access, checked by __fput() to decide whether it wants to drop the sucker. Allows to stop bothering with mnt_clone_write() in alloc_file(), along with fewer special_file() checks. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

it's pointless and actually leads to wrong behaviour in at least one moderately convoluted case (pipe(), close one end, try to get to another via /proc/*/fd and run into ETXTBUSY). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain counterparts of the desired mountpoint. That sets the right propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in useless allocations. It's fairly easy to create a situation where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings. The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm. It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time and with no extra allocations at all. One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation tree in a different order - by peer groups. And iterate through the peers before dealing with the next group. Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to. Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with, or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M, the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i}, S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k} such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}. It means that the master of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M. On the other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter - in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation from, but in a wrong peer group). So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find a marked one (P). Let N be the one before it. Then we go through the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N. If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S will be. That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple. Iterator is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is propagate_one(). It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared subtrees.

fixes RCU bug - walking through hlist is safe in face of element moves, since it's self-terminating. Cyclic lists are not - if we end up jumping to another hash chain, we'll loop infinitely without ever hitting the original list head.

If the dest_mnt is not shared, propagate_mnt() does nothing - there's no mounts to propagate to and thus no copies to create. Might as well don't bother calling it in that case. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
