Implement the new readahead operation in fuse by using __readahead_batch() to fill the array of pages in fuse_args_pages directly. This lets us inline fuse_readpages_fill() into fuse_readahead().

This replaces ->readpages with a saner interface: - Return void instead of an ignored error code. - Page cache is already populated with locked pages when ->readahead is called. - New arguments can be passed to the implementation without changing all the filesystems that use a common helper function like mpage_readahead().

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) authored
When populating the page cache for readahead, mappings that use ->readpages must populate the page cache themselves as the pages are passed on a linked list which would normally be used for the page cache's LRU. For mappings that use ->readpage or the upcoming ->readahead method, we can put the pages into the page cache as soon as they're allocated, which solves a race between readahead and direct IO. It also lets us remove the gfp argument from read_pages(). Use the new readahead_page() API to implement the repeated calls to ->readpage(), just like most filesystems will. Signed-off-by:

ondemand_readahead has two callers, neither of which use the return value. That means that both ra_submit and __do_page_cache_readahead() can return void, and we don't need to worry that a present page in the readahead window causes us to return a smaller nr_pages than we ought to have. Similarly, no caller uses the return value from force_page_cache_readahead(). Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Change readahead API", v11. This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the readpages operation. The key difference is that pages are added to the page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem) instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having the filesystem add them to the page cache. It's a net reduction in code for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache. Their conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the conversion substantially easier. This should be completed by the end of the year. I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive criticism. These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky before and remain flaky afterwards). This patch (of 25): The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the pagemap.h file. force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so move it to mm/internal.h instead. Remove the parameter names where they add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading. Signed-off-by:

It can be expected that when page is reported as bad state for some reason, the pointers there should not be trusted blindly. So this patch treats all data in __dump_page() that depends on page->mapping as lava, using probe_kernel_read_strict(). Ideally this would include the dentry->d_parent recursively, but that would mean changing printk handler for %pd. Chances of reaching the dentry printing part with an initially bogus mapping pointer should be rather low, though. Also prefix printing mapping->a_ops with a description of what is being printed. In case the value is bogus, %ps will print raw value instead of the symbol name and then it's not obvious at all that it's printing a_ops. Reported-by:Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz> Signed-off-by:

There is no need to copy SLUB_STATS items from root memcg cache to new memcg cache copies. Doing so could result in stack overruns because the store function only accepts 0 to clear the stat and returns an error for everything else while the show method would print out the whole stat. Then, the mismatch of the lengths returns from show and store methods happens in memcg_propagate_slab_attrs(): else if (root_cache->max_attr_size < ARRAY_SIZE(mbuf)) buf = mbuf; max_attr_size is only 2 from slab_attr_store(), then, it uses mbuf[64] in show_stat() later where a bounch of sprintf() would overrun the stack variable. Fix it by always allocating a page of buffer to be used in show_stat() if SLUB_STATS=y which should only be used for debug purpose. # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/fs_cache/shrink BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in number+0x421/0x6e0 Write of size 1 at addr ffffc900256cfde0 by task kworker/76:0/53251 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019 Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache memcg_kmem_cache_create_func Call Trace: number+0x421/0x6e0 vsnprintf+0x451/0x8e0 sprintf+0x9e/0xd0 show_stat+0x124/0x1d0 alloc_slowpath_show+0x13/0x20 __kmem_cache_create+0x47a/0x6b0 addr ffffc900256cfde0 is located in stack of task kworker/76:0/53251 at offset 0 in frame: process_one_work+0x0/0xb90 this frame has 1 object: [32, 72) 'lockdep_map' Memory state around the buggy address: ffffc900256cfc80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ffffc900256cfd00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 >ffffc900256cfd80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 f1 f1 ^ ffffc900256cfe00: 00 00 00 00 00 f2 f2 f2 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ffffc900256cfe80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ================================================================== Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: __kmem_cache_create+0x6ac/0x6b0 Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache memcg_kmem_cache_create_func Call Trace: __kmem_cache_create+0x6ac/0x6b0 Fixes: 107dab5c ("slub: slub-specific propagation changes") Signed-off-by:Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Signed-off-by:

I came across some unnecessary uevents once again which reminded me this. The patch seems to be lost in the leaves of the original discussion [1], so resending.

And I am not aware of any use of these notifiers. These notifiers may just exist because in the initial slub release the sysfs code was copied from another subsystem. Signed-off-by:

The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page. However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current and next freepointer during allocation path. As a result, once some objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to page fault. Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128 slub_nomerge'. The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free object on purpose. Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it when iterating the freechain.

We have seen a "usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to SLUB object 'dma-kmalloc-1 k' (offset 0, size 11)!" error on s390x, as IUCV uses kmalloc() with __GFP_DMA because of memory address restrictions. The issue has been discussed [2] and it has been noted that if all the kmalloc caches are marked as usercopy, there's little reason not to mark dma-kmalloc caches too. The 'dma' part merely means that __GFP_DMA is used to restrict memory address range. As Jann Horn put it [3]: "I think dma-kmalloc slabs should be handled the same way as normal kmalloc slabs. When a dma-kmalloc allocation is freshly created, it is just normal kernel memory - even if it might later be used for DMA -, and it should be perfectly fine to copy_from_user() into such allocations at that point, and to copy_to_user() out of them at the end. If you look at the places where such allocations are created, you can see things like kmemdup(), memcpy() and so on - all normal operations that shouldn't conceptually be different from usercopy in any relevant way." Thus this patch marks the dma-kmalloc-* caches as usercopy.

When syncing out a block device (a'la __sync_blockdev), any error encountered will only be recorded in the bd_inode's mapping. When the blockdev contains a filesystem however, we'd like to also record the error in the super_block that's stored there. Make mark_buffer_write_io_error also record the error in the corresponding super_block when a writeback error occurs and the block device contains a mounted superblock. Since superblocks are RCU freed, hold the rcu_read_lock to ensure that the superblock doesn't go away while we're marking it. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback errors", v6. Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to be written back. It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev. It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors. The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually. syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now. This patch (of 2): Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files. Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most people expect. If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error. syncfs only returns an error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op. It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any writeback failures. Then applications could call syncfs to see if there are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of the other descriptors to figure out which one failed. This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there. To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file to act as a cursor. This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose, which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on x86_64. An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not the inode's writeback error. I think that API is just too weird though. This is simpler and should make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing fsync and syncfs on the same fds. Signed-off-by:

Usually we create and use a ocfs2 shared volume on the top of ha stack. For pcmk based ha stack, which includes DLM, corosync and pacemaker services. The customers complained they could not mount existent ocfs2 volume in the single node without ha stack, e.g. single node backup/restore scenario. Like this case, the customers just want to access the data from the existent ocfs2 volume quickly, but do not want to restart or setup ha stack. Then, I'd like to add a mount option "nocluster", if the users use this option to mount a ocfs2 shared volume, the whole mount will not depend on the ha related services. the command will mount the existent ocfs2 volume directly (like local mount), for avoiding setup the ha stack.

ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears to come with large performance improvements. This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for the root file-system. This is observed at least in the context of starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm. The patch was tested on 4.19 as well as master. This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for FILE_CACHE in particular.
