vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE. If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after, but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped {old,new}_dentry. For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it. Currently all FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in d_revalidate. The bug was introduced by: commit 349457cc "[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()" Fix by not rehashing the new dentry. Rehashing used to be needed by d_move() but isn't anymore.

This serves no useful purpose that I can discern. All callers (rename, rmdir) hold their own reference to the dentry. A quick audit of all file systems showed no relevant checks on the value of d_count in vfs_rmdir/vfs_rename_dir paths.

We should not allow file modification via mmap while the filesystem is frozen. So block in block_page_mkwrite() while the filesystem is frozen. We cannot do the blocking wait in __block_page_mkwrite() since e.g. ext4 will want to call that function with transaction started in some cases and that would deadlock. But we can at least do the non-blocking reliable check in __block_page_mkwrite() which is the hardest part anyway. We have to check for frozen filesystem with the page marked dirty and under page lock with which we then return from ->page_mkwrite(). Only that way we cannot race with writeback done by freezing code - either we mark the page dirty after the writeback has started, see freezing in progress and block, or writeback will wait for our page lock which is released only when the fault is done and then writeback will writeout and writeprotect the page again.

This issue was discovered by users of busybox. And the bug is actual for busybox users, I don't know how it affects others. Apparently, mount is called with and without MS_SILENT, and this affects mount() behaviour. But MS_SILENT is only supposed to affect kernel logging verbosity. The following script was run in an empty test directory: mkdir -p mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 touch mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount -vv --bind mount.shared1 mount.shared1 mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared1 mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared2 mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared2 mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared1 mount -vv --bind mount.dir mount.shared2 ls -R mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null rm -f mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount.dir/c rmdir mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 mount -vv was used to show the mount() call arguments and result. Output shows that flag argument has 0x00008000 = MS_SILENT bit: mount: mount('mount.shared1','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('','mount.shared1','',0x0010c000,''):0 mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('','mount.shared2','',0x0010c000,''):0 mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('mount.dir','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount.dir: a b mount.shared1: mount.shared2: a b After adding --loud option to remove MS_SILENT bit from just one mount cmd: mkdir -p mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 touch mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount -vv --bind mount.shared1 mount.shared1 2>&1 mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared1 2>&1 mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared2 2>&1 mount -vv --loud --make-rshared mount.shared2 2>&1 # <-HERE mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared1 2>&1 mount -vv --bind mount.dir mount.shared2 2>&1 ls -R mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>&1 umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null rm -f mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount.dir/c rmdir mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 The result is different now - look closely at mount.shared1 directory listing. Now it does show files 'a' and 'b': mount: mount('mount.shared1','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('','mount.shared1','',0x0010c000,''):0 mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('','mount.shared2','',0x00104000,''):0 mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount: mount('mount.dir','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0 mount.dir: a b mount.shared1: a b mount.shared2: a b The analysis shows that MS_SILENT flag which is ON by default in any busybox-> mount operations cames to flags_to_propagation_type function and causes the error return while is_power_of_2 checking because the function expects only one bit set. This doesn't allow to do busybox->mount with any --make-[r]shared, --make-[r]private etc options. Moreover, the recently added flags_to_propagation_type() function doesn't allow us to do such operations as --make-[r]private --make-[r]shared etc. when MS_SILENT is on. The idea or clearing the MS_SILENT flag came from to Denys Vlasenko.

Commit 990d6c2d ("vfs: Add name to file handle conversion support") changed EXPORTFS to be a bool. This was needed for earlier revisions of the original patch, but the actual commit put the code needing it into its own file that only gets compiled when FHANDLE is selected which in turn selects EXPORTFS. So EXPORTFS can be safely compiled as a module when not selecting FHANDLE.

Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by the following; sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init() _BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC]) Commit e06383db (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME. Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up. Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to the status of <= 2.6.39.

With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map() is called once it is known the PMD is safe. pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence, PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken. Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which is visible in page_test from aim9. This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

Since 569b846d ("memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate"), we do batched (delayed) uncharge at truncation/unmap. And since cdec2e42(memcg: coalesce charging via percpu storage), we have percpu cache for res_counter. These changes improved performance of memory cgroup very much, but made res_counter->usage usually have a bigger value than the actual value of memory usage. So, *.usage_in_bytes, which show res_counter->usage, are not desirable for precise values of memory(and swap) usage anymore. Instead of removing these files completely(because we cannot know res_counter->usage without them), this patch updates the meaning of those files.

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null (which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file). So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set). After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid. The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

Azurit reports large increases in system time after 2.6.36 when running Apache. It was bisected down to a892e2d7 ("vfs: use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible"). That patch caused the vfs to use kmalloc() for very large allocations and this is causing excessive work (and presumably excessive reclaim) within the page allocator. Fix it by falling back to vmalloc() earlier - when the allocation attempt would have been considered "costly" by reclaim.
