Provide fscache_cancel_op() with a pointer to a function it should invoke under lock if it cancels an operation. Use this to clear the remaining page count upon cancellation of a pending retrieval operation so that fscache_release_retrieval_op() doesn't get an assertion failure (see below). This can happen when a signal occurs, say from CTRL-C being pressed during data retrieval.

In fscache_write_op(), if the object is determined to have become inactive or to have lost its cookie, we don't move the operation state from in-progress, and so an assertion in fscache_put_operation() fails with an assertion (see below). Instrumenting fscache_op_work_func() indicates that it called fscache_write_op() before calling fscache_put_operation() - where the assertion failed. The assertion at line 433 indicates that the operation state is IN_PROGRESS rather than being COMPLETE or CANCELLED. Instrumenting fscache_write_op() showed that it was being called on an object that had had its cookie removed and that this was due to relinquishment of the cookie by the netfs. At this point fscache no longer has access to the pages of netfs data that were requested to be written, and so simply cancelling the operation is the thing to do.

wait_on_bit() with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE returns 1 rather than a negative error code, so change what we check for. This means that the signal handling in fscache_wait_for_retrieval_activation() should now work properly.

Add a missing transition to the FS-Cache object state machine to handle an invalidation event occuring between the back end completing the object lookup by calling fscache_obtained_object() (which moves to state OBJECT_AVAILABLE) and the backend returning to fscache_lookup_object() and thence to fscache_object_state_machine() which then does a goto lookup_transit to handle the transition - but lookup_transit doesn't handle EV_INVALIDATE. Without this, the following BUG can be logged: FS-Cache: Unsupported event 2 [5/f7] in state OBJECT_AVAILABLE ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/fscache/object.c:357!

The reason that doesn't wait is that fscache_maybe_release_page() might deadlock the allocator as the work threads writing to the cache may all end up sleeping on memory allocation. However, I wonder if that is actually a problem. There are a number of things I can do to deal with this: (1) Make nfs_migrate_page() wait. (2) Make fscache_maybe_release_page() honour the __GFP_WAIT flag. (3) Set a timeout around the wait. (4) Make nfs_migrate_page() return an error if the page is still busy. For the moment, I'll select (2) and (4). Signed-off-by:

The function to submit an exclusive op (fscache_submit_exclusive_op()) can BUG if there's been an I/O error because it may see the parent cache object in an unexpected state. It should only BUG if there hasn't been an I/O error. In this case the problem was produced by remounting the cache partition to be R/O.

Use the new FS-Cache invalidation facility from NFS to deal with foreign changes being detected on the server rather than attempting to retire the old cookie and get a new one. The problem with the old method was that NFS did not wait for all outstanding storage and retrieval ops on the cache to complete. There was no automatic wait between the calls to ->readpages() and calls to invalidate_inode_pages2() as the latter can only wait on locked pages that have been added to the pagecache (which they haven't yet on entry to ->readpages()). This was leading to oopses like the one below when an outstanding read got cut off from its cookie by a premature release.

Implement invalidation for CacheFiles. This is in two parts: (1) Provide an invalidation method (which just truncates the backing file). (2) Abort attempts to copy anything read from the backing file whilst invalidation is in progress. Question: CacheFiles uses truncation in a couple of places. It has been using notify_change() rather than sys_truncate() or something similar. This means it bypasses a bunch of checks and suchlike that it possibly should be making (security, file locking, lease breaking, vfsmount write). Should it be using vfs_truncate() as added by a preceding patch or should it use notify_write() and assume that anyone poking around in the cache files on disk gets everything they deserve?

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring. Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it. Signed-off-by: -

Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this. There are, however, two problems with this: (1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()). (2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied. This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the mark is applied. Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling fscache_end_io() and releasing the page. This means that we can't take advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the marking routines. The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory pressure, for example: BUG: Bad page state in process tar pfn:002da page:ffffea0000009fb0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x1447 page flags: 0x1000(private_2) Pid: 4574, comm: tar Tainted: G W 3.1.0-rc4-fsdevel+ #1064 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8109583c>] ? dump_page+0xb9/0xbe [<ffffffff81095916>] bad_page+0xd5/0xea [<ffffffff81095d82>] get_page_from_freelist+0x35b/0x46a [<ffffffff810961f3>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x362/0x662 [<ffffffff810989da>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x13a/0x267 [<ffffffff81098942>] ? __do_page_cache_readahead+0xa2/0x267 [<ffffffff81098d7b>] ra_submit+0x1c/0x20 [<ffffffff8109900a>] ondemand_readahead+0x28b/0x29a [<ffffffff81098ee2>] ? ondemand_readahead+0x163/0x29a [<ffffffff810990ce>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x38/0x3a [<ffffffff81091d8a>] generic_file_aio_read+0x2ab/0x67e [<ffffffffa008cfbe>] nfs_file_read+0xa4/0xc9 [nfs] [<ffffffff810c22c4>] do_sync_read+0xba/0xfa [<ffffffff81177a47>] ? security_file_permission+0x7b/0x84 [<ffffffff810c25dd>] ? rw_verify_area+0xab/0xc8 [<ffffffff810c29a4>] vfs_read+0xaa/0x13a [<ffffffff810c2a79>] sys_read+0x45/0x6c [<ffffffff813ac37b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson: "This is a batch of fixes for arm-soc platforms, most of it is for OMAP but there are others too (i.MX, Tegra, ep93xx). Fixes warnings, some broken platforms and drivers, etc. A bit all over the map really." There was some concern about commit 68136b10 ("RM: sunxi: Change device tree naming scheme for sunxi"), but Tony says: "Looks like that's trivial to fix as needed, no need to rebuild the branch to fix that AFAIK. The fix can be done once Olof is available online again.

task_numa_placement() oopsed on NULL p->mm when task_numa_fault() got called in the handling of break_ksm() for ksmd. That might be a peculiar case, which perhaps KSM could takes steps to avoid? but it's more robust if task_numa_placement() allows for such a possibility. Signed-off-by:

On a 4GB RAM machine, where Normal zone is much smaller than DMA32 zone, the Normal zone gets fragmented in time. This requires relatively more pressure in balance_pgdat to get the zone above the required watermark. Unfortunately, the congestion_wait() call in there slows it down for a completely wrong reason, expecting that there's a lot of writeback/swapout, even when there's none (much more common). After a few days, when fragmentation progresses, this flawed logic translates to a very high CPU iowait times, even though there's no I/O congestion at all. If THP is enabled, the problem occurs sooner, but I was able to see it even on !THP kernels, just by giving it a bit more time to occur. The proper way to deal with this is to not wait, unless there's congestion. Thanks to Mel Gorman, we already have the function that perfectly fits the job. The patch was tested on a machine which nicely revealed the problem after only 1 day of uptime, and it's been working great. Signed-off-by:

Fix up three empty files in arch/cris/ by sticking placeholder comments in there to prevent the patch program from deleting them. I decided not to delete the arch-v*/Kbuild files as it's possibly someone might want to use them for genhdr-y lines in the future, but they could be deleted and the pointer lines removed from asm/Kbuild. The uapi/arch-v*/Kbuild files ought to be uneffected by such a change. asm/swab.h didn't have anything outside of __KERNEL__ so nothing appeared in uapi/asm/swab.h. The latter, however, is exported by Kbuild.asm. This needs to be applied after the CRIS UAPI disintegration patch. Signed-off-by:
