eCryptfs: Consolidate inode functions into inode.c

2011-05-29T17:49:53+00:00

These functions should live in inode.c since their focus is on inodes
and they're primarily used by functions in inode.c.

Also does a simple cleanup of ecryptfs_inode_test() and rolls
ecryptfs_init_inode() into ecryptfs_inode_set().

eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files

2011-04-25T23:32:37+00:00

For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.

This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.

Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.

This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

ecryptfs: modify write path to encrypt page in writepage

2011-03-28T06:47:45+00:00

Change the write path to encrypt the data only when the page is written to
disk in ecryptfs_writepage. Previously, ecryptfs encrypts the page in
ecryptfs_write_end which means that if there are multiple write requests to
the same page, ecryptfs ends up re-encrypting that page over and over again.
This patch minimizes the number of encryptions needed.

fs: icache RCU free inodes

2011-01-07T06:50:26+00:00

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

BKL: remove extraneous #include

2010-11-17T16:59:32+00:00

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

pass a struct path to vfs_statfs

2010-08-09T20:48:42+00:00

We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support.
We do have it available in all callers except:

 - ecryptfs_statfs.  This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just
   needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method.
 - sys_ustat.  Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which
   doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on.

In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead
of the misleading vfs prefix.

fix a couple of ecryptfs leaks

2010-05-21T22:31:13+00:00

First of all, get_sb_nodev() grabs anon dev minor and we
never free it in ecryptfs ->kill_sb().  Moreover, on one
of the failure exits in ecryptfs_get_sb() we leak things -
it happens before we set ->s_root and ->put_super() won't
be called in that case.  Solution: kill ->put_super(), do
all that stuff in ->kill_sb().  And use kill_anon_sb() instead
of generic_shutdown_super() to deal with anon dev leak.
