quota: Fix race between dqput() and dquot_scan_active()

2014-02-20T20:57:04+00:00

Currently last dqput() can race with dquot_scan_active() causing it to
call callback for an already deactivated dquot. The race is as follows:

CPU1					CPU2
  dqput()
    spin_lock(&dq_list_lock);
    if (atomic_read(&dquot->dq_count) > 1) {
     - not taken
    if (test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags)) {
      spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock);
      ->release_dquot(dquot);
        if (atomic_read(&dquot->dq_count) > 1)
         - not taken
					  dquot_scan_active()
					    spin_lock(&dq_list_lock);
					    if (!test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags))
					     - not taken
					    atomic_inc(&dquot->dq_count);
					    spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock);
        - proceeds to release dquot
					    ret = fn(dquot, priv);
					     - called for inactive dquot

Fix the problem by making sure possible ->release_dquot() is finished by
the time we call the callback and new calls to it will notice reference
dquot_scan_active() has taken and bail out.

genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.

This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.

At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

genetlink: pass family to functions using groups

2013-11-19T21:39:06+00:00

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the
next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID
within the family, rather than the global group ID.

quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs

2013-11-19T21:39:05+00:00

The quota code is abusing the genetlink API and is using
its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid
and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.)

Make the quota code use the correct API, but since this
is already used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID
for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break
userspace assumptions.

fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API

2013-09-10T22:56:31+00:00

Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some
of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time.  For example,
nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects
to free.

I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e.  all the time under
memory pressure).

super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers

2013-09-10T22:56:29+00:00

The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.

It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible.  But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).

This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.

quota: Add a new quotactl command Q_XGETQSTATV

2013-08-20T21:53:58+00:00

XFS now supports three types of quotas (user, group and project).

Current version of Q_XGETSTAT has support for only two types of quotas.
In order to support three types of quotas, the interface, specifically
struct fs_quota_stat, need to be expanded. Current version of fs_quota_stat
does not allow expansion without breaking backward compatibility.

So, a quotactl command and new fs_quota_stat structure need to be added.

This patch adds a new command Q_XGETQSTATV to quotactl() which takes
a new data structure fs_quota_statv. This new data structure provides
support for future expansion and backward compatibility.

Callers of the new quotactl command have to set the version of the data
structure being passed, and kernel will fill as much data as requested.
If the kernel does not support the user-space provided version, EINVAL
will be returned. User-space can reduce the version number and call the same
quotactl again.
