Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
  and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.

  The lengthier patch series are

   - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
     in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
     consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling

   - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
     min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
     the use of min_t() and max_t()

   - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
     fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
     task_struct.thread_group"

2023-10-18T21:43:23+00:00

__read_mostly predates __ro_after_init. Many variables which are marked
__read_mostly should have been __ro_after_init from day 1.

Also, mark some stuff as "const" and "__init" while I'm at it.

fs: super: dynamically allocate the s_shrink

2023-10-04T17:32:26+00:00

In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, use new APIs to
dynamically allocate the s_shrink, so that it can be freed asynchronously
via RCU. Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side critical section
when releasing the struct super_block.

kernfs: attach uuid for every kernfs and report it in fsid

2023-08-05T06:32:39+00:00

The following two commits added the same thing for tmpfs:

* commit 2b4db79618ad ("tmpfs: generate random sb->s_uuid")
* commit 59cda49ecf6c ("shmem: allow reporting fanotify events with file handles on tmpfs")

Having fsid allows using fanotify, which is especially handy for cgroups,
where one might be interested in knowing when they are created or removed.

kernfs: Use a per-fs rwsem to protect per-fs list of kernfs_super_info.

2023-03-29T10:23:45+00:00

Right now per-fs kernfs_rwsem protects list of kernfs_super_info instances
for a kernfs_root. Since kernfs_rwsem is used to synchronize several other
operations across kernfs and since most of these operations don't impact
kernfs_super_info, we can use a separate per-fs rwsem to synchronize access
to list of kernfs_super_info.
This helps in reducing contention around kernfs_rwsem and also allows
operations that change/access list of kernfs_super_info to proceed without
contending for kernfs_rwsem.

kernfs: Replace global kernfs_open_file_mutex with hashed mutexes.

2022-06-27T14:46:15+00:00

In current kernfs design a single mutex, kernfs_open_file_mutex, protects
the list of kernfs_open_file instances corresponding to a sysfs attribute.
So even if different tasks are opening or closing different sysfs files
they can contend on osq_lock of this mutex. The contention is more apparent
in large scale systems with few hundred CPUs where most of the CPUs have
running tasks that are opening, accessing or closing sysfs files at any
point of time.

Using hashed mutexes in place of a single global mutex, can significantly
reduce contention around global mutex and hence can provide better
scalability. Moreover as these hashed mutexes are not part of kernfs_node
objects we will not see any singnificant change in memory utilization of
kernfs based file systems like sysfs, cgroupfs etc.

Modify interface introduced in previous patch to make use of hashed
mutexes. Use kernfs_node address as hashing key.

kernfs: switch global kernfs_rwsem lock to per-fs lock

2021-11-24T12:55:16+00:00

The kernfs implementation has big lock granularity(kernfs_rwsem) so
every kernfs-based(e.g., sysfs, cgroup) fs are able to compete the
lock. It makes trouble for some cases to wait the global lock
for a long time even though they are totally independent contexts
each other.

A general example is process A goes under direct reclaim with holding
the lock when it accessed the file in sysfs and process B is waiting
the lock with exclusive mode and then process C is waiting the lock
until process B could finish the job after it gets the lock from
process A.

This patch switches the global kernfs_rwsem to per-fs lock, which
put the rwsem into kernfs_root.

kernfs: use i_lock to protect concurrent inode updates

2021-07-27T07:29:15+00:00

The inode operations .permission() and .getattr() use the kernfs node
write lock but all that's needed is the read lock to protect against
partial updates of these kernfs node fields which are all done under
the write lock.

And .permission() is called frequently during path walks and can cause
quite a bit of contention between kernfs node operations and path
walks when the number of concurrent walks is high.

To change kernfs_iop_getattr() and kernfs_iop_permission() to take
the rw sem read lock instead of the write lock an additional lock is
needed to protect against multiple processes concurrently updating
the inode attributes and link count in kernfs_refresh_inode().

The inode i_lock seems like the sensible thing to use to protect these
inode attribute updates so use it in kernfs_refresh_inode().

The last hunk in the patch, applied to kernfs_fill_super(), is possibly
not needed but taking the lock was present originally. I prefer to
continue to take it to protect against a partial update of the source
kernfs fields during the call to kernfs_refresh_inode() made by
kernfs_get_inode().

kernfs: switch kernfs to use an rwsem

2021-07-27T07:29:15+00:00

The kernfs global lock restricts the ability to perform kernfs node
lookup operations in parallel during path walks.

Change the kernfs mutex to an rwsem so that, when opportunity arises,
node searches can be done in parallel with path walk lookups.
