* [PATCH] VFS,fs/locks.c,NFSD4: add race_free posix_lock_file_conf() interfaceAndy Adamson2006-03-261-8/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lockd and the NFSv4 server both exercise a race condition where posix_test_lock() is called either before or after posix_lock_file() to deal with a denied lock request due to a conflicting lock. Remove the race condition for the NFSv4 server by adding a new conflicting lock parameter to __posix_lock_file() , changing the name to __posix_lock_file_conf(). Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both call __posix_lock_file_conf().

* [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variablesEric Dumazet2006-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* lockd: stop abusing file_lock_listChristoph Hellwig2006-03-201-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently lockd directly access the file_lock_list from fs/locks.c. It does so to mark locks granted or reclaimable. This is very suboptimal, because a) lockd needs to poke into locks.c internals, and b) it needs to iterate over all locks in the system for marking locks granted or reclaimable. This patch adds lists for granted and reclaimable locks to the nlm_host structure instead, and adds locks to those. nlmclnt_lock: now adds the lock to h_granted instead of setting the NFS_LCK_GRANTED, still O(1) nlmclnt_mark_reclaim: goes away completely, replaced by a list_splice_init. Complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(1) reclaimer: iterates over h_reclaim now, complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(locks per nlm_host) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* lockd: posix_test_lock() should not call locks_copy_lock()Trond Myklebust2006-03-201-5/+13
| | | | | | | | The caller of posix_test_lock() should never need to look at the lock private data, so do not copy that information. This also means that there is no need to call the fl_release_private methods. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* locks,lockd: fix race in nlmsvc_testlockAndy Adamson2006-03-201-8/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | posix_test_lock() returns a pointer to a struct file_lock which is unprotected and can be removed while in use by the caller. Move the conflicting lock from the return to a parameter, and copy the conflicting lock. In most cases the caller ends up putting the copy of the conflicting lock on the stack. On i386, sizeof(struct file_lock) appears to be about 100 bytes. We're assuming that's reasonable. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <andros@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: J.

* NLM: Further cancel fixesJ. Bruce Fields2006-01-061-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the server receives an NLM cancel call and finds no waiting lock to cancel, then chances are the lock has already been applied, and the client just hadn't yet processed the NLM granted callback before it sent the cancel. The Open Group text, for example, perimts a server to return either success (LCK_GRANTED) or failure (LCK_DENIED) in this case. But returning an error seems more helpful; the client may be able to use it to recognize that a race has occurred and to recover from the race. So, modify the relevant functions to return an error in this case. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NLM: don't unlock on cancel requestsJ. Bruce Fields2006-01-061-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when lockd gets an NLM_CANCEL request, it also does an unlock for the same range. This is incorrect. The Open Group documentation says that "This procedure cancels an *outstanding* blocked lock request." (Emphasis mine.) Also, consider a client that holds a lock on the first byte of a file, and requests a lock on the entire file. If the client cancels that request (perhaps because the requesting process is signalled), the server shouldn't apply perform an unlock on the entire file, since that will also remove the previous lock that the client was already granted. Or consider a lock request that actually *downgraded* an exclusive lock to a shared lock. Signed-off-by: J.

* [PATCH] VFS: Fix memory leak with file leasesJ. Bruce Fields2005-11-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/fs/locks.c@1.70??nav=index.html introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed fasync entry will be reinstated. This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're freeing up the lease. Signed-off-by: J.

* [PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma2005-09-091-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

* [PATCH] stale POSIX lock handlingPeter Staubach2005-07-271-33/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which the attached patch should address. The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly. SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the process which closed the file descriptor, should be released. The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress are handled when the last reference to the open file is released. There are three cases to consider. One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is being released. The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor. The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done, will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor. The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist until both processes have released their references to the open file. This lock could block other lock requests. The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as there was a reference to the open file. This is too long. The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic specification. This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
