pidfs: remove config option As Linus suggested this enables pidfs unconditionally. A key property to retain is the ability to compare pidfds by inode number (cf. [1]). That's extremely helpful just as comparing namespace file descriptors by inode number is. They are used in a variety of scenarios where they need to be compared, e.g., when receiving a pidfd via SO_PEERPIDFD from a socket to trivially authenticate a the sender and various other use-cases. For 64bit systems this is pretty trivial to do. For 32bit it's slightly more annoying as we discussed but we simply add a dumb ida based allocator that gets used on 32bit. This gives the same guarantees about inode numbers on 64bit without any overflow risk. Practically, we'll never run into overflow issues because we're constrained by the number of processes that can exist on 32bit and by the number of open files that can exist on a 32bit system. On 64bit none of this matters and things are very simple. If 32bit also needs the uniqueness guarantee they can simply parse the contents of /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. The uniqueness guarantees have a variety of use-cases. One of the most obvious ones is that they will make pidfiles (or "pidfdfiles", I guess) reliable as the unique identifier can be placed into there that won't be reycled. Also a frequent request. Note, I took the chance and simplified path_from_stashed() even further. Instead of passing the inode number explicitly to path_from_stashed() we let the filesystem handle that internally. So path_from_stashed() ends up even simpler than it is now. This is also a good solution allowing the cleanup code to be clean and consistent between 32bit and 64bit. The cleanup path in prepare_anon_dentry() is also switched around so we put the inode before the dentry allocation. This means we only have to call the cleanup handler for the filesystem's inode data once and can rely ->evict_inode() otherwise. Aside from having to have a bit of extra code for 32bit it actually ends up a nice cleanup for path_from_stashed() imho. Tested on both 32 and 64bit including error injection.

dax: check for data cache aliasing at runtime Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency: depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC) By a runtime check within alloc_dax(). This runtime check returns ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if the @ops parameter is non-NULL (which means the kernel is using an aliased mapping) on an architecture which has data cache aliasing. Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for CONFIG_DAX=n for consistency.

pidfd: add pidfs This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some architectures. With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into a different config. s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is not enabled for them.

tmpfs,xattr: enable limited user extended attributes Enable "user." extended attributes on tmpfs, limiting them by tracking the space they occupy, and deducting that space from the limited ispace (unless tmpfs mounted with nr_inodes=0 to leave that ispace unlimited). tmpfs inodes and simple xattrs are both unswappable, and have to be in lowmem on a 32-bit highmem kernel: so the ispace limit is appropriate for xattrs, without any need for a further mount option. Add simple_xattr_space() to give approximate but deterministic estimate of the space taken up by each xattr: with simple_xattrs_free() outputting the space freed if required (but kernfs and even some tmpfs usages do not require that, so don't waste time on strlen'ing if not needed). Security and trusted xattrs were already supported: for consistency and simplicity, account them from the same pool; though there's a small risk that a tmpfs with enough space before would now be considered too small. When extended attributes are used, "df -i" does show more IUsed and less IFree than can be explained by the inodes: document that (manpage later). xfstests tests/generic which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass: 020 037 062 070 077 097 103 117 337 377 454 486 523 533 611 618 728 with no new failures.

NFSD: Remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3 Eventually support for NFSv2 in the Linux NFS server is to be deprecated and then removed. However, NFSv2 is the "always supported" version that is available as soon as CONFIG_NFSD is set. Before NFSv2 support can be removed, we need to choose a different "always supported" version. This patch removes CONFIG_NFSD_V3 so that NFSv3 is always supported, as NFSv2 is today. When NFSv2 support is removed, NFSv3 will become the only "always supported" NFS version. The defconfigs still need to be updated to remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup, compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages. Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages, which still happens at refcount 1. This is a separate issue and will be sorted out later. Given that only fsdax pages require the notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook in the put_page fastpath.

fs: remove mandatory file locking support We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit. I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option and moved on. This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel, along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

Now the vmemmap is PMD mapped. So there is no side effect when this feature is enabled with no HugeTLB pages in the system. Someone may want to enable this feature in the compiler time instead of using boot command line. So add a config to make it default on when someone do not want to enable it via command line.

mm: hugetlb: introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP The option HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP allows for the freeing of some vmemmap pages associated with pre-allocated HugeTLB pages. For example, on X86_64 6 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 2MB HugeTLB page. 4094 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 1GB HugeTLB page. When a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array representing the range associated with the page will need to be remapped. When a page is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed after remapping. When a page is freed, previously discarded vmemmap pages must be allocated before remapping. The config option is introduced early so that supporting code can be written to depend on the option. The initial version of the code only provides support for x86-64. If config HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is enabled, the freeing vmemmap page code denpend on it to free vmemmap pages. Otherwise, just use free_reserved_page() to free vmemmmap pages. The routine register_page_bootmem_info() is used to register bootmem info. Therefore, make sure register_page_bootmem_info is enabled if HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is defined.

netfs: Provide readahead and readpage netfs helpers Add a pair of helper functions: (*) netfs_readahead() (*) netfs_readpage() to do the work of handling a readahead or a readpage, where the page(s) that form part of the request may be split between the local cache, the server or just require clearing, and may be single pages and transparent huge pages. This is all handled within the helper. Note that while both will read from the cache if there is data present, only netfs_readahead() will expand the request beyond what it was asked to do, and only netfs_readahead() will write back to the cache. netfs_readpage(), on the other hand, is synchronous and only fetches the page (which might be a THP) it is asked for. The netfs gives the helper parameters from the VM, the cache cookie it wants to use (or NULL) and a table of operations (only one of which is mandatory): (*) expand_readahead() [optional] Called to allow the netfs to request an expansion of a readahead request to meet its own alignment requirements. This is done by changing rreq->start and rreq->len. (*) clamp_length() [optional] Called to allow the netfs to cut down a subrequest to meet its own boundary requirements. If it does this, the helper will generate additional subrequests until the full request is satisfied. (*) is_still_valid() [optional] Called to find out if the data just read from the cache has been invalidated and must be reread from the server. (*) issue_op() [required] Called to ask the netfs to issue a read to the server. The subrequest describes the read. The read request holds information about the file being accessed. The netfs can cache information in rreq->netfs_priv. Upon completion, the netfs should set the error, transferred and can also set FSCACHE_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL and then call fscache_subreq_terminated(). (*) done() [optional] Called after the pages have been unlocked. The read request is still pinning the file and mapping and may still be pinning pages with PG_fscache. rreq->error indicates any error that has been accumulated. (*) cleanup() [optional] Called when the helper is disposing of a finished read request. This allows the netfs to clear rreq->netfs_priv. Netfs support is enabled with CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORT=y. It will be built even if CONFIG_FSCACHE=n and in this case much of it should be optimised away, allowing the filesystem to use it even when caching is disabled. Changes: v5: - Comment why netfs_readahead() is putting pages[2]. - Use page_file_mapping() rather than page->mapping[2]. - Use page_index() rather than page->index[2]. - Use set_page_fscache()[3] rather then SetPageFsCache() as this takes an appropriate ref too[4]. v4: - Folded in a kerneldoc comment fix. - Folded in a fix for the error handling in the case that ENOMEM occurs. - Added flag to netfs_subreq_terminated() to indicate that the caller may have been running async and stuff that might sleep needs punting to a workqueue (can't use in_softirq()[1]).

tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 on alpha As with s390, alpha is a 64-bit architecture with a 32-bit ino_t. With CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y tmpfs mounts will get 64-bit inode numbers and display "inode64" in the mount options, whereas passing "inode64" in the mount options will fail. This leads to erroneous behaviours such as this: # mkdir mnt # mount -t tmpfs nodev mnt # mount -o remount,rw mnt mount: /home/ubuntu/mnt: mount point not mounted or bad option.

tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 on s390 Currently there is an assumption in tmpfs that 64-bit architectures also have a 64-bit ino_t. This is not true on s390 which has a 32-bit ino_t. With CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y tmpfs mounts will get 64-bit inode numbers and display "inode64" in the mount options, but passing the "inode64" mount option will fail. This leads to the following behavior: # mkdir mnt # mount -t tmpfs nodev mnt # mount -o remount,rw mnt mount: /home/ubuntu/mnt: mount point not mounted or bad option. As mount sees "inode64" in the mount options and thus passes it in the options for the remount. So prevent CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 from being selected on s390.

fs: New zonefs file system zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block device as a file. Unlike a regular file system with zoned block device support (e.g. f2fs), zonefs does not hide the sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. Files representing sequential write zones of the device must be written sequentially starting from the end of the file (append only writes). As such, zonefs is in essence closer to a raw block device access interface than to a full featured POSIX file system. The goal of zonefs is to simplify the implementation of zoned block device support in applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer file API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls which may be more obscure to developers. One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of changes needed in the application as well as introducing support for different application programming languages. Zonefs on-disk metadata is reduced to an immutable super block to persistently store a magic number and optional feature flags and values. On mount, zonefs uses blkdev_report_zones() to obtain the device zone configuration and populates the mount point with a static file tree solely based on this information. E.g. file sizes come from the device zone type and write pointer offset managed by the device itself. The zone files created on mount have the following characteristics. 1) Files representing zones of the same type are grouped together under a common sub-directory: * For conventional zones, the sub-directory "cnv" is used. * For sequential write zones, the sub-directory "seq" is used. These two directories are the only directories that exist in zonefs. Users cannot create other directories and cannot rename nor delete the "cnv" and "seq" sub-directories. 2) The name of zone files is the number of the file within the zone type sub-directory, in order of increasing zone start sector. 3) The size of conventional zone files is fixed to the device zone size. Conventional zone files cannot be truncated. 4) The size of sequential zone files represent the file's zone write pointer position relative to the zone start sector. Truncating these files is allowed only down to 0, in which case, the zone is reset to rewind the zone write pointer position to the start of the zone, or up to the zone size, in which case the file's zone is transitioned to the FULL state (finish zone operation). 5) All read and write operations to files are not allowed beyond the file zone size. Any access exceeding the zone size is failed with the -EFBIG error. 6) Creating, deleting, renaming or modifying any attribute of files and sub-directories is not allowed. 7) There are no restrictions on the type of read and write operations that can be issued to conventional zone files. Buffered, direct and mmap read & write operations are accepted. For sequential zone files, there are no restrictions on read operations, but all write operations must be direct IO append writes. mmap write of sequential files is not allowed. Several optional features of zonefs can be enabled at format time. * Conventional zone aggregation: ranges of contiguous conventional zones can be aggregated into a single larger file instead of the default one file per zone. * File ownership: The owner UID and GID of zone files is by default 0 (root) but can be changed to any valid UID/GID. * File access permissions: the default 640 access permissions can be changed. The mkzonefs tool is used to format zoned block devices for use with zonefs. This tool is available on Github at: git@github.com:damien-lemoal/zonefs-tools.git. zonefs-tools also includes a test suite which can be run against any zoned block device, including null_blk block device created with zoned mode. Example: the following formats a 15TB host-managed SMR HDD with 256 MB zones with the conventional zones aggregation feature enabled. $ sudo mkzonefs -o aggr_cnv /dev/sdX $ sudo mount -t zonefs /dev/sdX /mnt $ ls -l /mnt/ total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 1 Nov 25 13:23 cnv dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 55356 Nov 25 13:23 seq The size of the zone files sub-directories indicate the number of files existing for each type of zones. In this example, there is only one conventional zone file (all conventional zones are aggregated under a single file). $ ls -l /mnt/cnv total 137101312 -rw-r----- 1 root root 140391743488 Nov 25 13:23 0 This aggregated conventional zone file can be used as a regular file. $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /mnt/cnv/0 $ sudo mount -o loop /mnt/cnv/0 /data The "seq" sub-directory grouping files for sequential write zones has in this example 55356 zones. $ ls -lv /mnt/seq total 14511243264 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 1 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 2 ... -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 55354 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 55355 For sequential write zone files, the file size changes as data is appended at the end of the file, similarly to any regular file system. $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/seq/0 bs=4K count=1 conv=notrunc oflag=direct 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 4096 bytes (4.1 kB, 4.0 KiB) copied, 0.000452219 s, 9.1 MB/s $ ls -l /mnt/seq/0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 4096 Nov 25 13:23 /mnt/seq/0 The written file can be truncated to the zone size, preventing any further write operation. $ truncate -s 268435456 /mnt/seq/0 $ ls -l /mnt/seq/0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 268435456 Nov 25 13:49 /mnt/seq/0 Truncation to 0 size allows freeing the file zone storage space and restart append-writes to the file. $ truncate -s 0 /mnt/seq/0 $ ls -l /mnt/seq/0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:49 /mnt/seq/0 Since files are statically mapped to zones on the disk, the number of blocks of a file as reported by stat() and fstat() indicates the size of the file zone. $ stat /mnt/seq/0 File: /mnt/seq/0 Size: 0 Blocks: 524288 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 870h/2160d Inode: 50431 Links: 1 Access: (0640/-rw-r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2019-11-25 13:23:57.048971997 +0900 Modify: 2019-11-25 13:52:25.553805765 +0900 Change: 2019-11-25 13:52:25.553805765 +0900 Birth: - The number of blocks of the file ("Blocks") in units of 512B blocks gives the maximum file size of 524288 * 512 B = 256 MB, corresponding to the device zone size in this example. Of note is that the "IO block" field always indicates the minimum IO size for writes and corresponds to the device physical sector size.

io-wq: small threadpool implementation for io_uring This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among the reasons for this addition are: - We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we manage the life time of threads. - We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the async_list. - We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b) needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers. - We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets. - We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables from a process. - We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general. - We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used threads. This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node. io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

erofs: move erofs out of staging EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year. EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression and decompression inplace technologies. In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable enough to be moved out of staging. EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems. As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way. Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

unicode: introduce UTF-8 character database The decomposition and casefolding of UTF-8 characters are described in a prefix tree in utf8data.h, which is a generate from the Unicode Character Database (UCD), published by the Unicode Consortium, and should not be edited by hand. The structures in utf8data.h are meant to be used for lookup operations by the unicode subsystem, when decoding a utf-8 string. mkutf8data.c is the source for a program that generates utf8data.h. It was written by Olaf Weber from SGI and originally proposed to be merged into Linux in 2014. The original proposal performed the compatibility decomposition, NFKD, but the current version was modified by me to do canonical decomposition, NFD, as suggested by the community. The changes from the original submission are: * Rebase to mainline. * Fix out-of-tree-build. * Update makefile to build 11.0.0 ucd files. * drop references to xfs. * Convert NFKD to NFD. * Merge back robustness fixes from original patch. Requested by Dave Chinner. The original submission is archived at: <https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/Xx10wjVY/rfc-unicode-utf-8-support-for-xfs> The utf8data.h file can be regenerated using the instructions in fs/unicode/README.utf8data. - Notes on the update from 8.0.0 to 11.0: The structure of the ucd files and special cases have not experienced any changes between versions 8.0.0 and 11.0.0. 8.0.0 saw the addition of Cherokee LC characters, which is an interesting case for case-folding. The update is accompanied by new tests on the test_ucd module to catch specific cases. No changes to mkutf8data script were required for the updates.

vfs: Add configuration parser helpers Because the new API passes in key,value parameters, match_token() cannot be used with it. Instead, provide three new helpers to aid with parsing: (1) fs_parse(). This takes a parameter and a simple static description of all the parameters and maps the key name to an ID. It returns 1 on a match, 0 on no match if unknowns should be ignored and some other negative error code on a parse error. The parameter description includes a list of key names to IDs, desired parameter types and a list of enumeration name -> ID mappings. [!] Note that for the moment I've required that the key->ID mapping array is expected to be sorted and unterminated. The size of the array is noted in the fsconfig_parser struct. This allows me to use bsearch(), but I'm not sure any performance gain is worth the hassle of requiring people to keep the array sorted. The parameter type array is sized according to the number of parameter IDs and is indexed directly. The optional enum mapping array is an unterminated, unsorted list and the size goes into the fsconfig_parser struct. The function can do some additional things: (a) If it's not ambiguous and no value is given, the prefix "no" on a key name is permitted to indicate that the parameter should be considered negatory. (b) If the desired type is a single simple integer, it will perform an appropriate conversion and store the result in a union in the parse result. (c) If the desired type is an enumeration, {key ID, name} will be looked up in the enumeration list and the matching value will be stored in the parse result union. (d) Optionally generate an error if the key is unrecognised. This is called something like: enum rdt_param { Opt_cdp, Opt_cdpl2, Opt_mba_mpbs, nr__rdt_params }; const struct fs_parameter_spec rdt_param_specs[nr__rdt_params] = { [Opt_cdp] = { fs_param_is_bool }, [Opt_cdpl2] = { fs_param_is_bool }, [Opt_mba_mpbs] = { fs_param_is_bool }, }; const const char *const rdt_param_keys[nr__rdt_params] = { [Opt_cdp] = "cdp", [Opt_cdpl2] = "cdpl2", [Opt_mba_mpbs] = "mba_mbps", }; const struct fs_parameter_description rdt_parser = { .name = "rdt", .nr_params = nr__rdt_params, .keys = rdt_param_keys, .specs = rdt_param_specs, .no_source = true, }; int rdt_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_parameter *param) { struct fs_parse_result parse; struct rdt_fs_context *ctx = rdt_fc2context(fc); int ret; ret = fs_parse(fc, &rdt_parser, param, &parse); if (ret < 0) return ret; switch (parse.key) { case Opt_cdp: ctx->enable_cdpl3 = true; return 0; case Opt_cdpl2: ctx->enable_cdpl2 = true; return 0; case Opt_mba_mpbs: ctx->enable_mba_mbps = true; return 0; } return -EINVAL; } (2) fs_lookup_param(). This takes a { dirfd, path, LOOKUP_EMPTY? } or string value and performs an appropriate path lookup to convert it into a path object, which it will then return. If the desired type was a blockdev, the type of the looked up inode will be checked to make sure it is one. This can be used like: enum foo_param { Opt_source, nr__foo_params }; const struct fs_parameter_spec foo_param_specs[nr__foo_params] = { [Opt_source] = { fs_param_is_blockdev }, }; const char *char foo_param_keys[nr__foo_params] = { [Opt_source] = "source", }; const struct constant_table foo_param_alt_keys[] = { { "device", Opt_source }, }; const struct fs_parameter_description foo_parser = { .name = "foo", .nr_params = nr__foo_params, .nr_alt_keys = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_param_alt_keys), .keys = foo_param_keys, .alt_keys = foo_param_alt_keys, .specs = foo_param_specs, }; int foo_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_parameter *param) { struct fs_parse_result parse; struct foo_fs_context *ctx = foo_fc2context(fc); int ret; ret = fs_parse(fc, &foo_parser, param, &parse); if (ret < 0) return ret; switch (parse.key) { case Opt_source: return fs_lookup_param(fc, &foo_parser, param, &parse, &ctx->source); default: return -EINVAL; } } (3) lookup_constant(). This takes a table of named constants and looks up the given name within it. The table is expected to be sorted such that bsearch() be used upon it. Possibly I should require the table be terminated and just use a for-loop to scan it instead of using bsearch() to reduce hassle. Tables look something like: static const struct constant_table bool_names[] = { { "0", false }, { "1", true }, { "false", false }, { "no", false }, { "true", true }, { "yes", true }, }; and a lookup is done with something like: b = lookup_constant(bool_names, param->string, -1); Additionally, optional validation routines for the parameter description are provided that can be enabled at compile time. A later patch will invoke these when a filesystem is registered. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward compatibility. Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4 remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than modprobe(8). There were some comments about things to look out for with the module rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the commit patch if you are interested. One potential problem with this change is that when the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also. This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds. Please check your build configurations before the removal which will occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

mm: restructure memfd code With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c. In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a lack of potentially desired functionality. Code is restructured in the following way: - include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h. - mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously contained in shmem.c. - memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c. - A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS or HUGETLBFS is defined. No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only.

mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not map pages. In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast() path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns. This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal. Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and pfn_to_page().

block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not require the DAX core to be built. Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from 'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case. Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

fs: introduce iomap infrastructure Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that can be written. This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers. for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head. The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification once the write code is finished with it.

dax: Make huge page handling depend of CONFIG_BROKEN Currently the handling of huge pages for DAX is racy. For example the following can happen: CPU0 (THP write fault) CPU1 (normal read fault) __dax_pmd_fault() __dax_fault() get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped if (!buffer_mapped(&bh) && write) get_block(inode, block, &bh, 1) -> allocates blocks truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend); dax_load_hole(); This results in data corruption since process on CPU1 won't see changes into the file done by CPU0. The race can happen even if two normal faults race however with THP the situation is even worse because the two faults don't operate on the same entries in the radix tree and we want to use these entries for serialization. So make THP support in DAX code depend on CONFIG_BROKEN for now. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>

PTE mappings do not suffer the same fate since they have the _PAGE_SPECIAL flag to cause the gup path to fault. We can do something similar for the PMD path, or otherwise defer pmd support for cases where a struct page is available. For now, 4.4-rc and -stable need to disable dax pmd support by default. For development the "depends on BROKEN" line can be removed from CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD.

locks: Allow disabling mandatory locking at compile time Mandatory locking appears to be almost unused and buggy and there appears no real interest in doing anything with it. Since effectively no one uses the code and since the code is buggy let's allow it to be disabled at compile time. I would just suggest removing the code but undoubtedly that will break some piece of userspace code somewhere. For the distributions that don't care about this piece of code this gives a nice starting point to make mandatory locking go away.

overlay filesystem Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications go to the upper, writable layer. This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a wide variety of other uses. The implementation differs from other "union filesystem" implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these cases. The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries are relatively small. Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible optimization to share inodes for non-directories. Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file descriptors). Usage: mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay The following cotributions have been folded into this patch: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>: - minimal remount support - use correct seek function for directories - initialise is_real before use - rename ovl_fill_cache to ovl_dir_read Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>: - fix a deadlock in ovl_dir_read_merged - fix a deadlock in ovl_remove_whiteouts Erez Zadok <ezk@fsl.cs.sunysb.edu> - fix cleanup after WARN_ON Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@googlemail.com> - fix up permission to confirm to new API Robin Dong <hao.bigrat@gmail.com> - fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode - create new inode in ovl_link Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> - switch to __inode_permission() - copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode AV: - ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits - ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(), lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being right). - bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail] - copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail] - ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile - ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu() - fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup() - manually assigning ->d_op is wrong.

ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us. And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr, and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this config option in the same release. [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is effectively always enabled. -- tytso ] Cc: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

tmpfs: implement generic xattr support Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs, which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs are also needed for overlayfs. The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any {get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs. SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no other security.* xattrs. As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM hooks which implement the helpers. This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not previously possible. The basic implementation is that I attach a: struct shmem_xattr { struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */ char *name; size_t size; char value[0]; }; Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory being allocated for unprivileged users.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL. With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

sh: Fix hugetlbfs dependencies for SH-3 && MMU configurations. The hugetlb dependencies presently depend on SUPERH && MMU while the hugetlb page size definitions depend on CPU_SH4 or CPU_SH5. This unfortunately allows SH-3 + MMU configurations to enable hugetlbfs without a corresponding HPAGE_SHIFT definition, resulting in the build blowing up. As SH-3 doesn't support variable page sizes, we tighten up the dependenies a bit to prevent hugetlbfs from being enabled. These days we also have a shiny new SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS, so switch to using that rather than adding to the list of corner cases in fs/Kconfig.

tmpfs: depend on shmem CONFIG_SHMEM off gives you (ramfs masquerading as) tmpfs, even when CONFIG_TMPFS is off: that's a little anomalous, and I'd intended to make more sense of it by removing CONFIG_TMPFS altogether, always enabling its code when CONFIG_SHMEM; but so many defconfigs have CONFIG_SHMEM on CONFIG_TMPFS off that we'd better leave that as is. But there is no point in asking for CONFIG_TMPFS if CONFIG_SHMEM is off: make TMPFS depend on SHMEM, which also prevents TMPFS_POSIX_ACL shmem_acl.o being pointlessly built into the kernel when SHMEM is off. And a selfish change, to prevent the world from being rebuilt when I switch between CONFIG_SHMEM on and off: the only CONFIG_SHMEM in the header files is mm.h shmem_lock() - give that a shmem.c stub instead.

Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems, but a filesystem created purely for Linux. Nor is it a flash filesystem but that for generic block devices.

CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in Userspace CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace. With recent additions of ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has most of what's necessary to implement character devices. All CUSE has to do is bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver model - nicely. When client opens /dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with CUSE_INIT. The client tells CUSE which device it wants to create. As the previous patch made fuse_file usable without associated fuse_inode, CUSE doesn't create super block or inodes. It attaches fuse_file to cdev file->private_data during open and set ff->fi to NULL. The rest of the operation is almost identical to FUSE direct IO case. Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME (which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort" among other things. Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE control files. The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation is mmap support.

CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem Add an FS-Cache cache-backend that permits a mounted filesystem to be used as a backing store for the cache. CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as reaping stale nodes and culling. This is called cachefilesd and lives in /sbin. The source for the daemon can be downloaded from: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.c And an example configuration from: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.conf The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the filesystem providing the backing services. Note that CacheFiles does not attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various filesystems are very specific in nature. CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used to communication with the daemon. Only one thing may have this open at once, and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence. The daemon opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache. CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache. CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section. This means it can be placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more space. ============ REQUIREMENTS ============ The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be available in the system and in the cache filesystem: - dnotify. - extended attributes (xattrs). - openat() and friends. - bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl). - The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file. It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3 filesystems being used as a cache. ============= CONFIGURATION ============= The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf. These commands set up cache ready for use. The following script commands are available: (*) brun <N>% (*) bcull <N>% (*) bstop <N>% (*) frun <N>% (*) fcull <N>% (*) fstop <N>% Configure the culling limits. Optional. See the section on culling The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively. The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those beginning with an 'f' are file count limits. (*) dir <path> Specify the directory containing the root of the cache. Mandatory. (*) tag <name> Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches. Optional. The default is "CacheFiles". (*) debug <mask> Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module. Optional. The default is zero (all off). The following values can be OR'd into the mask to collect various information: 1 Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros) 2 Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros) 4 Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug()) This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg: echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug ================== STARTING THE CACHE ================== The cache is started by running the daemon. The daemon opens the cache device, configures the cache and tells it to begin caching. At that point the cache binds to fscache and the cache becomes live. The daemon is run as follows: /sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>] The flags are: (*) -d Increase the debugging level. This can be specified multiple times and is cumulative with itself. (*) -s Send messages to stderr instead of syslog. (*) -n Don't daemonise and go into background. (*) -f <configfile> Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one. =============== THINGS TO AVOID =============== Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems. The kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them. Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain. Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the filename is part of the lookup key). Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused. Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or serve incorrect data. Do not chmod files in the cache. The module creates things with minimal permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly. ============= CACHE CULLING ============= The cache may need culling occasionally to make space. This involves discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than anything else. Culling is based on the access time of data objects. Empty directories are culled if not in use. Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem. There are six "limits": (*) brun (*) frun If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off. (*) bcull (*) fcull If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started. (*) bstop (*) fstop If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above these limits again. These must be configured thusly: 0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100 0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100 Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do _not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program. The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects. These are then culled in least recently used order. A new scan of the cache is started as soon as space is made in the table. Objects will be skipped if their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them. =============== CACHE STRUCTURE =============== The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was given: (*) cache/ (*) graveyard/ The active cache objects all reside in the first directory. The CacheFiles kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them. The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete anything that appears therein. The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or "J...". Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index. Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories if they do. Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...". If represented as a directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that actually holds the data. Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin "S..." or "T...". If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory. Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended. Into this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child objects: INDEX INDEX INDEX DATA FILES ========= ========== ================================= ================ cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400 cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects inside the last directory. The names of the intermediate directories will have '+' prepended: J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size, they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not be suitable for turning directly into a filename. To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and "base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable. The two versions of object filenames indicate the encoding: OBJECT TYPE PRINTABLE ENCODED =============== =============== =============== Index "I..." "J..." Data "D..." "E..." Special "S..." "T..." Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate. Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from the netfs. The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update or retire them. Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file). ========================== SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX ========================== CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility. One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other processes. The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid, fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly). When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it: (1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses that as the security label with which it will create files. By default, this is: cachefiles_var_t (2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request (presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be: cachefilesd_t and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the daemon's label. By default, this will be: cachefiles_kernel_t SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID based on a rule of this form in the policy. type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>; For instance: type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t; The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and write files in the cache. The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories. It may not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache. There are policy source files available in: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2 and later versions. In that tarball, see the files: cachefilesd.te cachefilesd.fc cachefilesd.if They are built and installed directly by the RPM. If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own directory and run: make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile semodule -i cachefilesd.pp You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the build. By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the cache. For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see: /usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found in the sources. ================== A NOTE ON SECURITY ================== CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct. It allocates its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context. The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than bypassing security and calling inode ops directly. Therefore the VFS and LSM may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever process issued the original syscall on the netfs. Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's cache management daemon (cachefilesd). What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that issued the system call. We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject. This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what the process looks like in /proc. So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as). The objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is never overridden. This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for example). The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and may be overridden.

FS-Cache: Add main configuration option, module entry points and debugging Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches. 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.

Btrfs: Add zlib compression support This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing, both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large surgery to the writeback paths. Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read compressed extents off the disk. If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later. * While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their behalf. * Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert an inline extent that spans multiple pages. * All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc) are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well as a flag for compression. From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags. Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the 'other' field are currently used. In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents. In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit and will be subject to tuning later. Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum. Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time. Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

[patch 1/3] FS_MBCACHE: don't needlessly make it built-in Assume you have: - one or more of ext2/3/4 statically built into your kernel - none of these with extended attributes enabled and - want to add onother one of ext2/3/4 modular and with extended attributes enabled then you currently have to reboot to use it since this results in CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y. That's not a common issue, but I just ran into it and since there's no reason to get a built-in mbcache in this case this patch fixes it.

ocfs2: Switch over to JBD2. ocfs2 wants JBD2 for many reasons, not the least of which is that JBD is limiting our maximum filesystem size. It's a pretty trivial change. Most functions are just renamed. The only functional change is moving to Jan's inode-based ordered data mode. It's better, too. Because JBD2 reads and writes JBD journals, this is compatible with any existing filesystem. It can even interact with JBD-based ocfs2 as long as the journal is formated for JBD. We provide a compatibility option so that paranoid people can still use JBD for the time being. This will go away shortly.

SUNRPC: Support IPv6 when registering kernel RPC services In order to advertise NFS-related services on IPv6 interfaces via rpcbind, the kernel RPC server implementation must use rpcb_v4_register() instead of rpcb_register(). A new kernel build option allows distributions to use the legacy v2 call until they integrate an appropriate user-space rpcbind daemon that can support IPv6 RPC services. I tried adding some automatic logic to fall back if registering with a v4 protocol request failed, but there are too many corner cases. So I just made it a compile-time switch that distributions can throw when they've replaced portmapper with rpcbind. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J.

coda: remove CODA_FS_OLD_API While fixing CONFIG_ leakages to the userspace kernel headers I ran into CODA_FS_OLD_API. After five years, are there still people using the old API left? Especially considering that you have to choose at compile time which API to support in the kernel (and distributions tend to offer the new API for some time). Jan: "The old API can definitely go. Around the time the new interface went in there were some non-Coda userspace file system implementations that took a while longer to convert to the new API, but by now they all switched to the new interface or in some cases to a FUSE-based solution."

[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: Add CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS config option This patch adds config option CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_STATS to allow building the fs with instrumentation enabled. An upcoming patch will provide support to instrument cluster locking, which is a crucial overhead in a cluster file system. This config option allows users to avoid the cpu and memory overhead that is involved in gathering such statistics.

SUNRPC: Use only rpcbind v2 for AF_INET requests Some server vendors support the higher versions of rpcbind only for AF_INET6. The kernel doesn't need to use v3 or v4 for AF_INET anyway, so change the kernel's rpcbind client to query AF_INET servers over rpcbind v2 only. This has a few interesting benefits: 1. If the rpcbind request is going over TCP, and the server doesn't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4, the client reduces by two the number of ephemeral ports left in TIME_WAIT for each rpcbind request. This will help during NFS mount storms. 2. The rpcbind interaction with servers that don't support rpcbind versions 3 or 4 will use less network traffic. Also helpful during mount storms. 3. We can eliminate the kernel build option that controls whether the kernel's rpcbind client uses rpcbind version 3 and 4 for AF_INET servers. Less complicated kernel configuration...

NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3 Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected. Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3". This makes NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is enabled if NFSD_V4 is. Sam Ravnborg adds: "This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select a symbol with dependencies. In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4 so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3? But I see no other clean way to do it right now." Later he said: "My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig. This is abuse in the acceptable range."

SUNRPC: Remove PROC_FS dependency Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled. Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc. It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be: - N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N - M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M - Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.

ext4: Add the journal checksum feature The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM. JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks. Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made incompat. The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the type of the checksum. For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

Preempt-RCU: implementation This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details of this implementation can be found in this paper - http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf and the article- http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/ This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper). This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations and can be switched to at compiler. Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.

Ext4: Uninitialized Block Groups In pass1 of e2fsck, every inode table in the fileystem is scanned and checked, regardless of whether it is in use. This is this the most time consuming part of the filesystem check. The unintialized block group feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time by eliminating checking of uninitialized inodes. With this feature, there is a a high water mark of used inodes for each block group. Block and inode bitmaps can be uninitialized on disk via a flag in the group descriptor to avoid reading or scanning them at e2fsck time. A checksum of each group descriptor is used to ensure that corruption in the group descriptor's bit flags does not cause incorrect operation. The feature is enabled through a mkfs option mke2fs /dev/ -O uninit_groups A patch adding support for uninitialized block groups to e2fsprogs tools has been posted to the linux-ext4 mailing list. The patches have been stress tested with fsstress and fsx. In performance tests testing e2fsck time, we have seen that e2fsck time on ext3 grows linearly with the total number of inodes in the filesytem. In ext4 with the uninitialized block groups feature, the e2fsck time is constant, based solely on the number of used inodes rather than the total inode count. Since typical ext4 filesystems only use 1-10% of their inodes, this feature can greatly reduce e2fsck time for users. With performance improvement of 2-20 times, depending on how full the filesystem is. The attached graph shows the major improvements in e2fsck times in filesystems with a large total inode count, but few inodes in use. In each group descriptor if we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT set in bg_flags: Inode table is not initialized/used in this group. So we can skip the consistency check during fsck. EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT set in bg_flags: No block in the group is used. So we can skip the block bitmap verification for this group. We also add two new fields to group descriptor as a part of uninitialized group patch. __le16 bg_itable_unused; /* Unused inodes count */ __le16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */ bg_itable_unused: If we have EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT not set in bg_flags then bg_itable_unused will give the offset within the inode table till the inodes are used. This can be used by fsck to skip list of inodes that are marked unused. bg_checksum: Now that we depend on bg_flags and bg_itable_unused to determine the block and inode usage, we need to make sure group descriptor is not corrupt. We add checksum to group descriptor to detect corruption. If the descriptor is found to be corrupt, we mark all the blocks and inodes in the group used.

allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED Allow disabling DNOTIFY with CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n. I'm currently running a kernel with dnotify disabled and I haven't run into any problem. Is there any popular application left that breaks without dnotify support in the kernel? Note that this patch does not remove dnotify support, it still defaults to "y", and the help text recommends enabling it.

[PATCH] eCryptfs: Public key transport mechanism This is the transport code for public key functionality in eCryptfs. It manages encryption/decryption request queues with a transport mechanism. Currently, netlink is the only implemented transport. Each inode has a unique File Encryption Key (FEK). Under passphrase, a File Encryption Key Encryption Key (FEKEK) is generated from a salt/passphrase combo on mount. This FEKEK encrypts each FEK and writes it into the header of each file using the packet format specified in RFC 2440. This is all symmetric key encryption, so it can all be done via the kernel crypto API. These new patches introduce public key encryption of the FEK. There is no asymmetric key encryption support in the kernel crypto API, so eCryptfs pushes the FEK encryption and decryption out to a userspace daemon. After considering our requirements and determining the complexity of using various transport mechanisms, we settled on netlink for this communication. eCryptfs stores authentication tokens into the kernel keyring. These tokens correlate with individual keys. For passphrase mode of operation, the authentication token contains the symmetric FEKEK. For public key, the authentication token contains a PKI type and an opaque data blob managed by individual PKI modules in userspace. Each user who opens a file under an eCryptfs partition mounted in public key mode must be running a daemon. That daemon has the user's credentials and has access to all of the keys to which the user should have access. The daemon, when started, initializes the pluggable PKI modules available on the system and registers itself with the eCryptfs kernel module. Userspace utilities register public key authentication tokens into the user session keyring. These authentication tokens correlate key signatures with PKI modules and PKI blobs. The PKI blobs contain PKI-specific information necessary for the PKI module to carry out asymmetric key encryption and decryption. When the eCryptfs module parses the header of an existing file and finds a Tag 1 (Public Key) packet (see RFC 2440), it reads in the public key identifier (signature). The asymmetrically encrypted FEK is in the Tag 1 packet; eCryptfs puts together a decrypt request packet containing the signature and the encrypted FEK, then it passes it to the daemon registered for the current->euid via a netlink unicast to the PID of the daemon, which was registered at the time the daemon was started by the user. The daemon actually just makes calls to libecryptfs, which implements request packet parsing and manages PKI modules. libecryptfs grabs the public key authentication token for the given signature from the user session keyring. This auth tok tells libecryptfs which PKI module should receive the request. libecryptfs then makes a decrypt() call to the PKI module, and it passes along the PKI block from the auth tok. The PKI uses the blob to figure out how it should decrypt the data passed to it; it performs the decryption and passes the decrypted data back to libecryptfs. libecryptfs then puts together a reply packet with the decrypted FEK and passes that back to the eCryptfs module. The eCryptfs module manages these request callouts to userspace code via message context structs. The module maintains an array of message context structs and places the elements of the array on two lists: a free and an allocated list. When eCryptfs wants to make a request, it moves a msg ctx from the free list to the allocated list, sets its state to pending, and fires off the message to the user's registered daemon. When eCryptfs receives a netlink message (via the callback), it correlates the msg ctx struct in the alloc list with the data in the message itself. The msg->index contains the offset of the array of msg ctx structs. It verifies that the registered daemon PID is the same as the PID of the process that sent the message. It also validates a sequence number between the received packet and the msg ctx. Then, it copies the contents of the message (the reply packet) into the msg ctx struct, sets the state in the msg ctx to done, and wakes up the process that was sleeping while waiting for the reply. The sleeping process was whatever was performing the sys_open(). This process originally called ecryptfs_send_message(); it is now in ecryptfs_wait_for_response(). When it wakes up and sees that the msg ctx state was set to done, it returns a pointer to the message contents (the reply packet) and returns. If all went well, this packet contains the decrypted FEK, which is then copied into the crypt_stat struct, and life continues as normal. The case for creation of a new file is very similar, only instead of a decrypt request, eCryptfs sends out an encrypt request. > - We have a great clod of key mangement code in-kernel. Why is that > not suitable (or growable) for public key management? eCryptfs uses Howells' keyring to store persistent key data and PKI state information. It defers public key cryptographic transformations to userspace code. The userspace data manipulation request really is orthogonal to key management in and of itself. What eCryptfs basically needs is a secure way to communicate with a particular daemon for a particular task doing a syscall, based on the UID. Nothing running under another UID should be able to access that channel of communication. > - Is it appropriate that new infrastructure for public key > management be private to a particular fs? The messaging.c file contains a lot of code that, perhaps, could be extracted into a separate kernel service. In essence, this would be a sort of request/reply mechanism that would involve a userspace daemon. I am not aware of anything that does quite what eCryptfs does, so I was not aware of any existing tools to do just what we wanted. > What happens if one of these daemons exits without sending a quit > message? There is a stale uid<->pid association in the hash table for that user. When the user registers a new daemon, eCryptfs cleans up the old association and generates a new one. See ecryptfs_process_helo(). > - _why_ does it use netlink? Netlink provides the transport mechanism that would minimize the complexity of the implementation, given that we can have multiple daemons (one per user). I explored the possibility of using relayfs, but that would involve having to introduce control channels and a protocol for creating and tearing down channels for the daemons. We do not have to worry about any of that with netlink.

[PATCH] fs/Kconfig: move GENERIC_ACL, fix acl() call errors GENERIC_ACL shouldn't be under Network File Systems (which made it depend on NET) as far as I can tell.

[PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and fs/Kconfig eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself.

[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

[PATCH] Generic infrastructure for acls The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and forth between multiple user sessions, etc. Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem. Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs. Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses. The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach. These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/229 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/230 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/231 This patch: Add some infrastructure for access control lists on in-memory filesystems such as tmpfs.

[PATCH] nfsd kconfig: select things at the closest tristate instead of bool I noticed recently that my CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5 turned into a y again instead of m. It turns out that CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is selecting it to be y even though I've chosen to compile nfsd as a module. In general when we have a bool sitting under a tristate it is better to select things you need from the tristate rather than the bool since that allows the things you select to be modules.

With these patches, inotify will maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be called per inotify_watch.

[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5) This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

[PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the documentation accordingly. o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose CONFIG_EMBEDDED. o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer to kexec and kdump options.

[JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement) The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS) stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them) just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is needed at mount time. This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too. There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary information for a JFFS2 image.

[PATCH] v9fs: Documentation, Makefiles, Configuration OVERVIEW V9FS is a distributed file system for Linux which provides an implementation of the Plan 9 resource sharing protocol 9P. It can be used to share all sorts of resources: static files, synthetic file servers (such as /proc or /sys), devices, and application file servers (such as FUSE). BACKGROUND Plan 9 (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9) is a research operating system and associated applications suite developed by the Computing Science Research Center of AT&T Bell Laboratories (now a part of Lucent Technologies), the same group that developed UNIX , C, and C++. Plan 9 was initially released in 1993 to universities, and then made generally available in 1995. Its core operating systems code laid the foundation for the Inferno Operating System released as a product by Lucent Bell-Labs in 1997. The Inferno venture was the only commercial embodiment of Plan 9 and is currently maintained as a product by Vita Nuova (http://www.vitanuova.com). After updated releases in 2000 and 2002, Plan 9 was open-sourced under the OSI approved Lucent Public License in 2003. The Plan 9 project was started by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike in 1985. Their intent was to explore potential solutions to some of the shortcomings of UNIX in the face of the widespread use of high-speed networks to connect machines. In UNIX, networking was an afterthought and UNIX clusters became little more than a network of stand-alone systems. Plan 9 was designed from first principles as a seamless distributed system with integrated secure network resource sharing. Applications and services were architected in such a way as to allow for implicit distribution across a cluster of systems. Configuring an environment to use remote application components or services in place of their local equivalent could be achieved with a few simple command line instructions. For the most part, application implementations operated independent of the location of their actual resources. Commercial operating systems haven't changed much in the 20 years since Plan 9 was conceived. Network and distributed systems support is provided by a patchwork of middle-ware, with an endless number of packages supplying pieces of the puzzle. Matters are complicated by the use of different complicated protocols for individual services, and separate implementations for kernel and application resources. The V9FS project (http://v9fs.sourceforge.net) is an attempt to bring Plan 9's unified approach to resource sharing to Linux and other operating systems via support for the 9P2000 resource sharing protocol. V9FS HISTORY V9FS was originally developed by Ron Minnich and Maya Gokhale at Los Alamos National Labs (LANL) in 1997. In November of 2001, Greg Watson setup a SourceForge project as a public repository for the code which supported the Linux 2.4 kernel. About a year ago, I picked up the initial attempt Ron Minnich had made to provide 2.6 support and got the code integrated into a 2.6.5 kernel. I then went through a line-for-line re-write attempting to clean-up the code while more closely following the Linux Kernel style guidelines. I co-authored a paper with Ron Minnich on the V9FS Linux support including performance comparisons to NFSv3 using Bonnie and PostMark - this paper appeared at the USENIX/FREENIX 2005 conference in April 2005: ( http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/tech/freenix/hensbergen.html ). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION/REQUEST FOR COMMENTS Our 2.6 kernel support is stabilizing and we'd like to begin pursuing its integration into the official kernel tree. We would appreciate any review, comments, critiques, and additions from this community and are actively seeking people to join our project and help us produce something that would be acceptable and useful to the Linux community. STATUS The code is reasonably stable, although there are no doubt corner cases our regression tests haven't discovered yet. It is in regular use by several of the developers and has been tested on x86 and PowerPC (32-bit and 64-bit) in both small and large (LANL cluster) deployments. Our current regression tests include fsx, bonnie, and postmark. It was our intention to keep things as simple as possible for this release -- trying to focus on correctness within the core of the protocol support versus a rich set of features. For example: a more complete security model and cache layer are in the road map, but excluded from this release. Additionally, we have removed support for mmap operations at Al Viro's request. PERFORMANCE Detailed performance numbers and analysis are included in the FREENIX paper, but we show comparable performance to NFSv3 for large file operations based on the Bonnie benchmark, and superior performance for many small file operations based on the PostMark benchmark. Somewhat preliminary graphs (from the FREENIX paper) are available (http://v9fs.sourceforge.net/perf/index.html). RESOURCES The source code is available in a few different forms: tarballs: http://v9fs.sf.net CVSweb: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/v9fs/linux-9p/ CVS: :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/v9fs/linux-9p Git: rsync://v9fs.graverobber.org/v9fs (webgit: http://v9fs.graverobber.org) 9P: tcp!v9fs.graverobber.org!6564 The user-level server is available from either the Plan 9 distribution or from http://v9fs.sf.net Other support applications are still being developed, but preliminary version can be downloaded from sourceforge. Documentation on the protocol has historically been the Plan 9 Man pages (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/5/INDEX.html), but there is an effort under way to write a more complete Internet-Draft style specification (http://v9fs.sf.net/rfc). There are a couple of mailing lists supporting v9fs, but the most used is v9fs-developer@lists.sourceforge.net -- please direct/cc your comments there so the other v9fs contibutors can participate in the conversation. There is also an IRC channel: irc://freenode.net/#v9fs This part of the patch contains Documentation, Makefiles, and configuration file changes.

[PATCH] relayfs Here's the latest version of relayfs, against linux-2.6.11-mm2. I'm hoping you'll consider putting this version back into your tree - the previous rounds of comment seem to have shaken out all the API issues and the number of comments on the code itself have also steadily dwindled. This patch is essentially the same as the relayfs redux part 5 patch, with some minor changes based on reviewer comments. Thanks again to Pekka Enberg for those. The patch size without documentation is now a little smaller at just over 40k. Here's a detailed list of the changes: - removed the attribute_flags in relay open and changed it to a boolean specifying either overwrite or no-overwrite mode, and removed everything referencing the attribute flags. - added a check for NULL names in relayfs_create_entry() - got rid of the unnecessary multiple labels in relay_create_buf() - some minor simplification of relay_alloc_buf() which got rid of a couple params - updated the Documentation In addition, this version (through code contained in the relay-apps tarball linked to below, not as part of the relayfs patch) tries to make it as easy as possible to create the cooperating kernel/user pieces of a typical and common type of logging application, one where kernel logging is kicked off when a user space data collection app starts and stops when the collection app exits, with the data being automatically logged to disk in between. To create this type of application, you basically just include a header file (relay-app.h, included in the relay-apps tarball) in your kernel module, define a couple of callbacks and call an initialization function, and on the user side call a single function that sets up and continuously monitors the buffers, and writes data to files as it becomes available. Channels are created when the collection app is started and destroyed when it exits, not when the kernel module is inserted, so different channel buffer sizes can be specified for each separate run via command-line options. See the README in the relay-apps tarball for details. Also included in the relay-apps tarball are a couple examples demonstrating how you can use this to create quick and dirty kernel logging/debugging applications. They are: - tprintk, short for 'tee printk', which temporarily puts a kprobe on printk() and writes a duplicate stream of printk output to a relayfs channel. This could be used anywhere there's printk() debugging code in the kernel which you'd like to exercise, but would rather not have your system logs cluttered with debugging junk. You'd probably want to kill klogd while you do this, otherwise there wouldn't be much point (since putting a kprobe on printk() doesn't change the output of printk()). I've used this method to temporarily divert the packet logging output of the iptables LOG target from the system logs to relayfs files instead, for instance. - klog, which just provides a printk-like formatted logging function on top of relayfs. Again, you can use this to keep stuff out of your system logs if used in place of printk. The example applications can be found here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dprobes/relay-apps.tar.gz?download From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> avoid lookup_hash usage in relayfs Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not support xattrs natively. This allows security modules to export the incore inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access. The patch removes the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer needed. The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than -EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the operation anyway. Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore inode security state update directly. In contrast, we do call fsnotify in both cases.

[PATCH] inotify inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.
