* FS-Cache: Implement the cookie management part of the netfs APIDavid Howells2009-04-031-0/+444
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the cookie management part of the FS-Cache netfs client API. The documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch. This patch implements the following three functions: (1) fscache_acquire_cookie(). Acquire a cookie to represent an object to the netfs. If the object in question is a non-index object, then that object and its parent indices will be created on disk at this point if they don't already exist. Index creation is deferred because an index may reside in multiple caches. (2) fscache_relinquish_cookie(). Retire or release a cookie previously acquired. At this point, the object on disk may be destroyed. (3) fscache_update_cookie(). Update the in-cache representation of a cookie. This is used to update the auxiliary data for coherency management purposes. With this patch it is possible to have a netfs instruct a cache backend to look up, validate and create metadata on disk and to destroy it again. The ability to actually store and retrieve data in the objects so created is added in later patches. Note that these functions will never return an error. _All_ errors are handled internally to FS-Cache. The worst that can happen is that fscache_acquire_cookie() may return a NULL pointer - which is considered a negative cookie pointer and can be passed back to any function that takes a cookie without harm. A negative cookie pointer merely suppresses caching at that level. The stub in linux/fscache.h will detect inline the negative cookie pointer and abort the operation as fast as possible. This means that the compiler doesn't have to set up for a call in that case. See the documentation in Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt for more information.

The following documentation is added to illuminate the working of this state machine. It will also be added as: Documentation/filesystems/caching/object.txt ==================================================== IN-KERNEL CACHE OBJECT REPRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT ==================================================== ============== REPRESENTATION ============== FS-Cache maintains an in-kernel representation of each object that a netfs is currently interested in. Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie struct and are referred to as cookies. FS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that a cache backend is currently actively caching. Such objects are represented by the fscache_object struct. The cache backends allocate these upon request, and are expected to embed them in their own representations. These are referred to as objects. There is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects. A cookie may be represented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache - or even by no objects (it may not be cached). Furthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical. The two hierarchies correspond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees of multiple caches: NETFS INDEX TREE : CACHE 1 : CACHE 2 : : : +-----------+ : +----------->| IObject | : +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | ICookie |-------+ : | : +-----------+ | : | : +-----------+ | +------------------------------>| IObject | | : | : +-----------+ | : V : | | : +-----------+ : | V +----------->| IObject | : | +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | | ICookie |-------+ : | : V +-----------+ | : | : +-----------+ | +------------------------------>| IObject | +-----+-----+ : | : +-----------+ | | : | : | V | : V : | +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | | ICookie |------------------------->| IObject | : | +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | | V : | : V | +-----------+ : | : +-----------+ | | ICookie |-------------------------------->| IObject | | +-----------+ : | : +-----------+ V | : V : | +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | | DCookie |------------------------->| DObject | : | +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : | | : : | +-------+-------+ : : | | | : : | V V : : V +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+ | DCookie | | DCookie |------------------------>| DObject | +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+ : : In the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie and DObject represent data storage objects. Indices may have representation in multiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not. Objects of any type may also be entirely unrepresented. As far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see pointers to the cookies. The cookies themselves and any objects attached to those cookies are hidden from it. =============================== OBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE =============================== Within FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state machine. The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in object->state. A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different states. Each state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine wakes up in that state. There are four logical sets of states: (1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready. The representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must be created or accessed with respect to its parent object. (2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate what's found and that create on disk any missing metadata. (3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed and that update the state of objects. (4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free up in-memory resources. In most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events. When a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in which it is interested (object->event_mask) and relinquish the worker thread. Then when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event is not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling fscache_enqueue_object()). PROVISION OF CPU TIME --------------------- The work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of the slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt). This is used in preference to the workqueue facility because: (1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a particular work item. These state actions may be doing sequences of synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr, getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename). (2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time sleeping on I/O. This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded workqueues don't necessarily have the right numbers of threads. LOCKING SIMPLIFICATION ---------------------- Because only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object's state machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect to disconnecting the netfs's representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie) from the cache backend's representation (fscache_object) - which may be requested from either end. ================= THE SET OF STATES ================= The object state machine has a set of states that it can be in. There are preparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent object to transit to a state that allows access to its children: (1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT. Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active. In the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked up. There are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses disk for the object metadata: (2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP. Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it's valid (coherency management). The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to indicate success. At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached. If not yet cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data to be read out of the cache for that file that isn't currently also held in the pagecache. (3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING. Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. This happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object's coherency data indicated what's on disk is out of date. In this state, FS-Cache expects the cache to create The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise. At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write operations the netfs has queued for an object. If creation failed, the write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the cache. There are some normal running states in which the object spends its time servicing netfs requests: (4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE. A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary lookup data is freed. (5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE. The normal running state. In this state, requests the netfs makes will be passed on to the cache. (6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING. The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the netfs's records. This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used to maintain coherency. And there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates memory and potentially deletes stuff from disk: (7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING. The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation error. This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort. Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released. (8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING. The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being withdrawn. Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too can destroy themselves. This object waits for all its children to go away before advancing to the next state. (9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT. The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died. The object will destroy itself so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state. (10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING. (11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING. The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its cookie. In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and in the second it will be deleted. (12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING. The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn. (13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD. The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is ready to be deleted. The object processor shouldn't ever see an object in this state. THE SET OF EVENTS ----------------- There are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine: (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE The netfs requested that an object be updated. The state machine will ask the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops. (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED This is signalled in two circumstances: (a) when an object's last child object is dropped and (b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed. This is used to proceed from the dying state. (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some object. (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using. The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing object to be retired (deleted) or retained. (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object. This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs's cookie. Because the withdrawing releasing/retiring events are all handled by the object state machine, it doesn't matter if there's a collision with both ends trying to sever the connection at the same time. The state machine can just pick which one it wants to honour, and that effects the other.

* FS-Cache: Add netfs registrationDavid Howells2009-04-032-1/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add functions to register and unregister a network filesystem or other client of the FS-Cache service. This allocates and releases the cookie representing the top-level index for a netfs, and makes it available to the netfs. If the FS-Cache facility is disabled, then the calls are optimised away at compile time. Note that whilst this patch may appear to work with FS-Cache enabled and a netfs attempting to use it, it will leak the cookie it allocates for the netfs as fscache_relinquish_cookie() is implemented in a later patch. This will cause the slab code to emit a warning when the module is removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a description of the root index of the cache for later patches to make use of. The root index is owned by FS-Cache itself. When a netfs requests caching facilities, FS-Cache will, if one doesn't already exist, create an entry in the root index with the key being the name of the netfs ("AFS" for example), and the auxiliary data holding the index structure version supplied by the netfs: FSDEF | +-----------+ | | NFS AFS [v=1] [v=1] If an entry with the appropriate name does already exist, the version is compared. If the version is different, the entire subtree from that entry will be discarded and a new entry created. The new entry will be an index, and a cookie referring to it will be passed to the netfs. This is then the root handle by which the netfs accesses the cache. It can create whatever objects it likes in that index, including further indices.

The two configuration options added are: CONFIG_FSCACHE CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter is a bitmask as described in: Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.

The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

Anyway, in some conditions, f_fsid from statfs(2) is useful, especially being used as (f_fsid, ino) pair to uniquely identify a file. Basic idea of the patches is generating a unique fs ID by huge_encode_dev(sb->s_bdev->bd_dev) during file system mounting life time (no endian consistent issue). sb is a point of struct super_block of current mounted file system being accessed by statfs(2). This patch: Make adfs return f_fsid info for statfs(2), and do a little variable renaming in adfs_statfs().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write). They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications. Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with locking. Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family: ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset); ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset); This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit) offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't allow to do. At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this. As we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is explicitly splitted into two 32bit values. The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in the x86 system call tables. Other archs follow as separate patches.

* | ext3: avoid false EIO errorsJan Kara2009-04-021-65/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been paged out in the mean time). We then end up with !uptodate mapped buffers. To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if we didn't succeed with copying all the data. Commit f4fc66a894546bdc88a775d0e83ad20a65210bcb (ext3: convert to new aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about their data ;-P. This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's lists. We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size (i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

* | ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inodeBryan Donlan2009-04-021-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.
