This was added for all the file systems before. See the following commit. commit id: 0b173bc4 [PATCH] mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR This patch moves actual ptes filling for non-linear file mappings into special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). File system must implement this method to get non-linear mappings support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support." Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

As the "status" debugfs entry will be maintained for entire F2FS filesystem irrespective of the number of partitions. So, we can move the initialization to the init part of the f2fs and destroy will be done from exit part. After making changes, for individual partition mount - entry creation code will not be executed.

There is an race condition between umounting f2fs and reading f2fs/status, which results in oops.

Let's consider the usage of blk_plug in f2fs_write_data_pages(). We can come up with the two issues: lock contention and task awareness. 1. Merging bios prior to grabing "queue lock" The f2fs merges consecutive IOs in the file system level before submitting any bios, which is similar with the back merge by the plugging mechanism in attempt_plug_merge(). Both of them need to acquire no queue lock. 2. Merging policy with respect to tasks The f2fs merges IOs as much as possible regardless of tasks, while blk-plugging is conducted on a basis of tasks. As we can understand there are trade-offs, f2fs tries to maximize the write performance with well-merged bios. As a result, if f2fs produces many consecutive but separated bios in writepages(), it would be good to use blk-plugging since f2fs would be able to avoid queue lock contention in the block layer by merging them. But, f2fs merges IOs and submit one bio, which means that there are not much chances to merge bios by attempt_plug_merge(). However, f2fs has already been used blk_plug by triggering generic_writepages() in f2fs_write_data_pages(). So to make the overall code consistency, I'd like to remove blk_plug there.

The f2fs_fallocate() has two operations: punch_hole and expand_size. Only in the case of punch_hole, dirty node pages can be produced, so let's trigger f2fs_balance_fs() in this case only. Furthermore, let's trigger it at every data truncation routine. Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

The f2fs_balance_fs() is to check the number of free sections and decide whether it needs to conduct cleaning or not. If there are not enough free sections, the cleaning job should be started. In order to control an amount of free sections even under high utilization, f2fs should call f2fs_balance_fs at all the VFS interfaces that are able to produce dirty pages. This patch adds the function calls in the missing interfaces as follows. 1. f2fs_setxattr() The f2fs_setxattr() produces dirty node pages so that we should call f2fs_balance_fs() either likewise doing in other VFS interfaces such as f2fs_lookup(), f2fs_mkdir(), and so on. 2. f2fs_sync_file() We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync. Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and sync_node_pages. Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization, f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON(). 3. f2fs_sync_fs() Before calling write_checkpoint(), we should guarantee that there are minimum free sections. 4. f2fs_write_inode() f2fs_write_inode() is also able to produce dirty node pages.

I'd like to revisit the f2fs_gc flow and rewrite as follows. 1. In practical, the nGC parameter of f2fs_gc is meaningless. So, let's remove it. 2. Background GC marks victim blocks as dirty one at a time. 3. Foreground GC should do cleaning job until acquiring enough free sections. Afterwards, it needs to do checkpoint.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz(). Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The below scenario describes the race condition, x==0 Boot CPU other CPU proc_P: x==0 timer interrupt update_vsyscall x==1 x++;sync settimeofday update_vsyscall_tz x==2 x++;sync x==3 sync;x++ sync;x++ proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even) Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not atomic on powerpc.

-
Javier Martinez Canillas authored
commit a99d76f9 leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output() Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the leds-gpio driver. The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to: GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state) Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state. This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly. With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output(). int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label) { .. if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN) err = gpio_direction_input(gpio); else err = gpio_direction_output(gpio, (flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0); .. } The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.
