We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own, and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required for that. (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by:

This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9 ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay"). Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs mount/dentry. This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume it's theirs. Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry from the file. This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case). In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file). The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open file comes from the lower dentry. [*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead. Signed-off-by:

d_add() with inode->i_lock already held; common to d_add() and d_splice_alias(). All ->lookup() instances that end up hashing the dentry they are given will hash it here. This almost completes the preparations to parallel lookups proper - the only remaining bit is taking security_d_instantiate() past d_rehash() and doing rehashing without dropping ->d_lock.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences are: * inode and dentry are passed separately * might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode; the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry. * when called that way it isn't allowed to block and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called in non-RCU mode. It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change in the next commits. Signed-off-by:

i_lock is only needed until __d_find_any_alias calls dget on the alias dentry. After that the reference to new ensures that dentry_kill and d_delete will not remove the inode from the dentry, and remove the dentry from the inode->d_entry list. The inode i_lock came to be held over the the __d_move calls in d_splice_alias through a series of introduction of locks with increasing smaller scope. First it was the dcache_lock, then it was the dcache_inode_lock, and finally inode->i_lock. Furthermore inode->i_lock is not held over any other calls to d_move or __d_move so it can not provide any meaningful rename protection. Signed-off-by:

A rename can result in a dentry that by walking up d_parent will never reach it's mnt_root. For lack of a better term I call this an escaped path. prepend_path is called by four different functions __d_path, d_absolute_path, d_path, and getcwd. __d_path only wants to see paths are connected to the root it passes in. So __d_path needs prepend_path to return an error. d_absolute_path similarly wants to see paths that are connected to some root. Escaped paths are not connected to any mnt_root so d_absolute_path needs prepend_path to return an error greater than 1. So escaped paths will be treated like paths on lazily unmounted mounts. getcwd needs to prepend "(unreachable)" so getcwd also needs prepend_path to return an error. d_path is the interesting hold out. d_path just wants to print something, and does not care about the weird cases. Which raises the question what should be printed? Given that <escaped_path>/<anything> should result in -ENOENT I believe it is desirable for escaped paths to be printed as empty paths. As there are not really any meaninful path components when considered from the perspective of a mount tree. So tweak prepend_path to return an empty path with an new error code of 3 when it encounters an escaped path. Signed-off-by:

Once I log in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors from applications and see this in my dmesg: VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using. This patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation. Note that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add. 4.1: files_stat.max_files = 6582781 4.2-rc2: files_stat.max_files = 8192 4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467 Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.

Normally opening a file, unlinking it and then closing will have the inode freed upon close() (provided that it's not otherwise busy and has no remaining links, of course). However, there's one case where that does *not* happen. Namely, if you open it by fhandle with cold dcache, then unlink() and close(). In normal case you get d_delete() in unlink(2) notice that dentry is busy and unhash it; on the final dput() it will be forcibly evicted from dcache, triggering iput() and inode removal. In this case, though, we end up with *two* dentries - disconnected (created by open-by-fhandle) and regular one (used by unlink()). The latter will have its reference to inode dropped just fine, but the former will not - it's considered hashed (it is on the ->s_anon list), so it will stay around until the memory pressure will finally do it in. As the result, we have the final iput() delayed indefinitely. It's trivial to reproduce - void flush_dcache(void) { system("mount -o remount,rw /"); } static char buf[20 * 1024 * 1024]; main() { int fd; union { struct file_handle f; char buf[MAX_HANDLE_SZ]; } x; int m; x.f.handle_bytes = sizeof(x); chdir("/root"); mkdir("foo", 0700); fd = open("foo/bar", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0600); close(fd); name_to_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, "foo/bar", &x.f, &m, 0); flush_dcache(); fd = open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &x.f, O_RDWR); unlink("foo/bar"); write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); system("df ."); /* 20Mb eaten */ close(fd); system("df ."); /* should've freed those 20Mb */ flush_dcache(); system("df ."); /* should be the same as #2 */ } will spit out something like Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 322023 303843 1131 100% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 322023 303843 1131 100% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 322023 283282 21692 93% / - inode gets freed only when dentry is finally evicted (here we trigger than by remount; normally it would've happened in response to memory pressure hell knows when).

The warning message in prepend_path is unclear and outdated. It was added as a warning that the mechanism for generating names of pseudo files had been removed from prepend_path and d_dname should be used instead. Unfortunately the warning reads like a general warning, making it unclear what to do with it. Remove the warning. The transition it was added to warn about is long over, and I added code several years ago which in rare cases causes the warning to fire on legitimate code, and the warning is now firing and scaring people for no good reason.

Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it). Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/ ... lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ...

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107 (which is correct). The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device 25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d. Signed-off-by:

I'll shortly be introducing another seqcount primitive that's useful to provide ordering semantics and would like to use the write_seqcount_barrier() name for that. Seeing how there's only one user of the current primitive, lets rename it to invalidate, as that appears what its doing. While there, employ lockdep_assert_held() instead of assert_spin_locked() to not generate debug code for regular kernels. Signed-off-by:

Impose ordering on accesses of d_inode and d_flags to avoid the need to do this: if (!dentry->d_inode || d_is_negative(dentry)) { when this: if (d_is_negative(dentry)) { should suffice. This check is especially problematic if a dentry can have its type field set to something other than DENTRY_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL (as in unionmount). What we really need to do is stick a write barrier between setting d_inode and setting d_flags and a read barrier between reading d_flags and reading d_inode. Signed-off-by:

On a distributed filesystem it's possible for lookup to discover that a directory it just found is already cached elsewhere in the directory heirarchy. The dcache won't let us keep the directory in both places, so we have to move the dentry to the new location from the place we previously had it cached. If the parent has changed, then this requires all the same locks as we'd need to do a cross-directory rename. But we're already in lookup holding one parent's i_mutex, so it's too late to acquire those locks in the right order. The (unreliable) solution in __d_unalias is to trylock() the required locks and return -EBUSY if it fails. I see no particular reason for returning -EBUSY, and -ESTALE is already the result of some other lookup races on NFS. I think -ESTALE is the more helpful error return. It also allows us to take advantage of the logic Jeff Layton added in c6a94284 "vfs: fix renameat to retry on ESTALE errors" and ancestors, which hopefully resolves some of these errors before they're returned to userspace. I can reproduce these cases using NFS with: ssh root@$client ' mount -olookupcache=pos '$server':'$export' /mnt/ mkdir /mnt/TO mkdir /mnt/DIR touch /mnt/DIR/test.txt while true; do strace -e open cat /mnt/DIR/test.txt 2>&1 | grep EBUSY done ' ssh root@$server ' while true; do mv $export/DIR $export/TO/DIR mv $export/TO/DIR $export/DIR done ' It also helps to add some other concurrent use of the directory on the client (e.g., "ls /mnt/TO"). And you can replace the server-side mv's by client-side mv's that are repeatedly killed. (If the client is interrupted while waiting for the RENAME response then it's left with a dentry that has to go under one parent or the other, but it doesn't yet know which.) Acked-by:

When CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS=y dentry_string_cmp may access few bytes beyound requested in kmalloc() size. dentry_string_cmp() relates on that fact that dentry allocated using kmalloc and kmalloc internally round up allocation size. So this is not a bug, but this makes kasan to complain about such accesses. To avoid such reports we mark rounded up allocation size in shadow as accessible. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one. This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if checked under the appropriate lock.

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what this patch set is intended to do. Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory cgroup. Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does. As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified hierarchy. This patch (of 9): NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node, it issues commands like this: count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid); freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func, isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan); where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it from vmscan. To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control structure. This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

We can be more aggressive about this, if we are clever and careful. This is subtle. Signed-off-by:

In "d_prune_alias(): just lock the parent and call __dentry_kill()" the old dget + d_drop + dput has been replaced with lock_parent + __dentry_kill; unfortunately, dput() does more than just killing dentry - it also drops the reference to parent. New variant leaks that reference and needs dput(parent) after killing the child off. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes kmemcheck warning in switch_names. The function switch_names swaps inline names of two dentries. It swaps full arrays d_iname, no matter how many bytes are really used by the strings. Reading data beyond string ends results in kmemcheck warning. We fix the bug by marking both arrays as fully initialized. Signed-off-by:

... by not hitting rename_retry for reasons other than rename having happened. In other words, do _not_ restart when finding that between unlocking the child and locking the parent the former got into __dentry_kill(). Skip the killed siblings instead... Signed-off-by:

d_splice_alias() callers expect it to either stash the inode reference into a new alias, or drop the inode reference. That makes it possible to just return d_splice_alias() result from ->lookup() instance, without any extra housekeeping required. Unfortunately, that should include the failure exits. If d_splice_alias() returns an error, it leaves the dentry it has been given negative and thus it *must* drop the inode reference. Easily fixed, but it goes way back and will need backporting.

the only in-tree instance checks d_unhashed() anyway, out-of-tree code can preserve the current behaviour by adding such check if they want it and we get an ability to use it in cases where we *want* to be notified of killing being inevitable before ->d_lock is dropped, whether it's unhashed or not. In particular, autofs would benefit from that. Signed-off-by:

The only reason for games with ->d_prune() was __d_drop(), which was needed only to force dput() into killing the sucker off. Note that lock_parent() can be called under ->i_lock and won't drop it, so dentry is safe from somebody managing to kill it under us - it won't happen while we are holding ->i_lock. __dentry_kill() is called only with ->d_lockref.count being 0 (here and when picked from shrink list) or 1 (dput() and dropping the ancestors in shrink_dentry_list()), so it will never be called twice - the first thing it's doing is making ->d_lockref.count negative and once that happens, nothing will increment it.
