Pull writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile continues the work from last cycle on better tracking
  writeback errors. In v4.13 we added some basic errseq_t infrastructure
  and converted a few filesystems to use it.

  This set continues refining that infrastructure, adds documentation,
  and converts most of the other filesystems to use it. The main
  exception at this point is the NFS client"

fs: convert a pile of fsync routines to errseq_t based reporting

2017-08-01T12:39:29+00:00

This patch converts most of the in-kernel filesystems that do writeback
out of the pagecache to report errors using the errseq_t-based
infrastructure that was recently added. This allows them to report
errors once for each open file description.

Most filesystems have a fairly straightforward fsync operation. They
call filemap_write_and_wait_range to write back all of the data and
wait on it, and then (sometimes) sync out the metadata.

For those filesystems this is a straightforward conversion from calling
filemap_write_and_wait_range in their fsync operation to calling
file_write_and_wait_range.

fs/locks: Remove fl_nspid and use fs-specific l_pid for remote locks

2017-07-16T14:28:22+00:00

Since commit c69899a17ca4 "NFSv4: Update of VFS byte range lock must be
atomic with the stateid update", NFSv4 has been inserting locks in rpciod
worker context.  The result is that the file_lock's fl_nspid is the
kworker's pid instead of the original userspace pid.

The fl_nspid is only used to represent the namespaced virtual pid number
when displaying locks or returning from F_GETLK.  There's no reason to set
it for every inserted lock, since we can usually just look it up from
fl_pid.  So, instead of looking up and holding struct pid for every lock,
let's just look up the virtual pid number from fl_pid when it is needed.
That means we can remove fl_nspid entirely.

The translaton and presentation of fl_pid should handle the following four
cases:

1 - F_GETLK on a remote file with a remote lock:
    In this case, the filesystem should determine the l_pid to return here.
    Filesystems should indicate that the fl_pid represents a non-local pid
    value that should not be translated by returning an fl_pid <= 0.

2 - F_GETLK on a local file with a remote lock:
    This should be the l_pid of the lock manager process, and translated.

3 - F_GETLK on a remote file with a local lock, and
4 - F_GETLK on a local file with a local lock:
    These should be the translated l_pid of the local locking process.

Fuse was already doing the correct thing by translating the pid into the
caller's namespace.  With this change we must update fuse to translate
to init's pid namespace, so that the locks API can then translate from
init's pid namespace into the pid namespace of the caller.

With this change, the locks API will expect that if a filesystem returns
a remote pid as opposed to a local pid for F_GETLK, that remote pid will
be <= 0.  This signifies that the pid is remote, and the locks API will
forego translating that pid into the pid namespace of the local calling
process.

Finally, we convert remote filesystems to present remote pids using
negative numbers. Have lustre, 9p, ceph, cifs, and dlm negate the remote
pid returned for F_GETLK lock requests.

Since local pids will never be larger than PID_MAX_LIMIT (which is
currently defined as <= 4 million), but pid_t is an unsigned int, we
should have plenty of room to represent remote pids with negative
numbers if we assume that remote pid numbers are similarly limited.

If this is not the case, then we run the risk of having a remote pid
returned for which there is also a corresponding local pid.  This is a
problem we have now, but this patch should reduce the chances of that
occurring, while also returning those remote pid numbers, for whatever
that may be worth.

mm, fs: reduce fault, page_mkwrite, and pfn_mkwrite to take only vmf

2017-02-25T01:46:54+00:00

->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

Replace with globally

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

9p: use file_dentry()

2016-07-01T03:28:09+00:00

v9fs may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
can lead to a crash.  In this case it's a NULL pointer dereference in
p9_fid_create().

Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the
file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle

9p: do not overwrite return code when locking fails

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

If the remote locking fail, we run a local vfs unlock that should work and
return success to userland when we didn't actually lock at all.  We need
to tell the application that tried to lock that it didn't get it, not that
all went well.
