Stacking file operations in overlay will store an extra open file for each
overlay file opened.
The overhead is just that of "struct file" which is about 256bytes, because
overlay already pins an extra dentry and inode when the file is open, which
add up to a much larger overhead.
For fear of breaking working setups, don't start accounting the extra file.

These checks are better off in do_dentry_open(); the reason we couldn't
put them there used to be that callers couldn't tell what kind of cleanup
would do_dentry_open() failure call for. Now that we have FMODE_OPENED,
cleanup is the same in all cases - it's simply fput(). So let's fold
that into do_dentry_open(), as Christoph's patch tried to.

This reverts commit cab64df194.
Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to
struct file combined with
error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
if (error) {
put_filp(f);
return ERR_PTR(error);
}
return f;
is flat-out wrong. It used to be
error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
if (!error) {
/* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */
error = open_check_o_direct(f);
if (error) {
fput(f);
f = ERR_PTR(error);
}
} else {
put_filp(f);
f = ERR_PTR(error);
}
and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is
nice, but not that way...
Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt
FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file
already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set. Guess what happens in
path_openat(), when it hits
if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) {
BUG_ON(!error);
put_filp(file);
}
The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open()
have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up
(by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it
marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the
cycle to do so right now.

Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
"This fixes d_ino correctness in readdir, which brings overlayfs on par
with normal filesystems regarding inode number semantics, as long as
all layers are on the same filesystem.
There are also some bug fixes, one in particular (random ioctl's
shouldn't be able to modify lower layers) that touches some vfs code,
but of course no-op for non-overlay fs"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:

ovl: don't allow writing ioctl on lower layer
ovl: fix relatime for directories
vfs: add flags to d_real()
ovl: cleanup d_real for negative
ovl: constant d_ino for non-merge dirs
ovl: constant d_ino across copy up
ovl: fix readdir error value
ovl: check snprintf return
Problem with ioctl() is that it's a file operation, yet often used as an
inode operation (i.e. modify the inode despite the file being opened for
read-only).
mnt_want_write_file() is used by filesystems in such cases to get write
access on an arbitrary open file.
Since overlayfs lets filesystems do all file operations, including ioctl,
this can lead to mnt_want_write_file() returning OK for a lower file and
modification of that lower file.
This patch prevents modification by checking if the file is from an
overlayfs lower layer and returning EPERM in that case.
Need to introduce a mnt_want_write_file_path() variant that still does the
old thing for inode operations that can do the copy up + modification
correctly in such cases (fchown, fsetxattr, fremovexattr).
This does not address the correctness of such ioctls on overlayfs (the
correct way would be to copy up and attempt to perform ioctl on upper
file).
In theory this could be a regression. We very much hope that nobody is
relying on such a hack in any sane setup.
While this patch meddles in VFS code, it has no effect on non-overlayfs
filesystems.

When we introduced the bmap redo log items, we set MS_ACTIVE on the
mountpoint and XFS_IRECOVERY on the inode to prevent unlinked inodes
from being truncated prematurely during log recovery. This also had the
effect of putting linked inodes on the lru instead of evicting them.
Unfortunately, we neglected to find all those unreferenced lru inodes
and evict them after finishing log recovery, which means that we leak
them if anything goes wrong in the rest of xfs_mountfs, because the lru
is only cleaned out on unmount.
Therefore, evict unreferenced inodes in the lru list immediately
after clearing MS_ACTIVE.

underlying inode only, so they will be out-of-date on the overlay inode.
This patch copies the times from the underlying inode if needed. This
can't be done if called from RCU lookup (link following) but link m/ctime

it's yours). There's no MAINTAINERS entry, but get_maintainers.pl

The update itself is to allow architecture emulation containers to
function such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the
container itself. The container and fs parts both have acks from

The change is user visible. To use the new feature you have to add an

Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"The major addition is the new iomap based block mapping
infrastructure. We've been kicking this about locally for years, but
there are other filesystems want to use it too (e.g. gfs2). Now it
is fully working, reviewed and ready for merge and be used by other
filesystems.
There are a lot of other fixes and cleanups in the tree, but those are
XFS internal things and none are of the scale or visibility of the
iomap changes. See below for details.
I am likely to send another pull request next week - we're just about
ready to merge some new functionality (on disk block->owner reverse
mapping infrastructure), but that's a huge chunk of code (74 files
changed, 7283 insertions(+), 1114 deletions(-)) so I'm keeping that
separate to all the "normal" pull request changes so they don't get
lost in the noise.
Summary of changes in this update:
- generic iomap based IO path infrastructure
- generic iomap based fiemap implementation
- xfs iomap based Io path implementation
- buffer error handling fixes
- tracking of in flight buffer IO for unmount serialisation
- direct IO and DAX io path separation and simplification
- shortform directory format definition changes for wider platform
compatibility
- various buffer cache fixes
- cleanups in preparation for rmap merge
- error injection cleanups and fixes
- log item format buffer memory allocation restructuring to prevent
rare OOM reclaim deadlocks
- sparse inode chunks are now fully supported"

Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented
using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that
can be written.
This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one
to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM
operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers.
for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that
gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head.
The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end
calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification
once the write code is finished with it.
Based on earlier code from Dave Chinner.

d_walk() relies upon the tree not getting rearranged under it without
rename_lock being touched. And we do grab rename_lock around the
places that change the tree topology. Unfortunately, branch reordering
is just as bad from d_walk() POV and we have two places that do it
without touching rename_lock - one in handling of cursors (for ramfs-style
directories) and another in autofs. autofs one is a separate story; this
commit deals with the cursors.
* mark cursor dentries explicitly at allocation time
* make __dentry_kill() leave ->d_child.next pointing to the next
non-cursor sibling, making sure that it won't be moved around unnoticed
before the parent is relocked on ascend-to-parent path in d_walk().
* make d_walk() skip cursors explicitly; strictly speaking it's
not necessary (all callbacks we pass to d_walk() are no-ops on cursors),
but it makes analysis easier.

I need an API that allows me to obtain a clone of the current file

There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback
naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and
b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or
i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to
the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either
way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be
confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this!
So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can
add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).
Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5

After the patch:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...
Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).
The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device
25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.
Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.
This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what
this patch set is intended to do.
Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.
Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.
As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:
count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);
where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.
To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.
This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now.
It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems,
etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback().
This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well.
get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would
have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache).
proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is
ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops).
Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry
is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path()
if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details
of that mechanism.
As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt;
it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets
from ns_get_path().

Convert superblock shrinker to use the new count/scan API, and propagate
the API changes through to the filesystem callouts. The filesystem
callouts already use a count/scan API, so it's just changing counters to
longs to match the VM API.
This requires the dentry and inode shrinker callouts to be converted to
the count/scan API. This is mainly a mechanical change.

This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:
* Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
(for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you
have any issues.
* The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we
are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
it has been doing.
Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.
Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.
With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

vmscan: per-node deferred work
i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
This patch:
There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc. This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.
Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This
patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.

We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in
NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount. Nor do we
prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths
after the d_drop().
This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root)
ancestors before proceeding with the mount. This is done with rename
seqlock taken for write and with ->d_lock grabbed on each ancestor in turn,
including our dentry itself. This ensures that the only one of
check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed.

default_file_splice_from() ends up calling vfs_write() (via very convoluted
callchain). It's an overkill, since we already have done rw_verify_area()
in the caller by the time we call vfs_write() we are under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
so access_ok() is also pointless. Add a new helper (__kernel_write()),
use it instead of kernel_write() in there.

Commit 169ebd9013 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its

For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.

Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where
we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and
mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well.
For the few cases that are really interested only in remount-ro protection
provide new function variants.

Split inode_permission() into inode- and superblock-dependent parts.
This is aimed at unionmounts where the superblock from the upper layer has to
be checked rather than the superblock from the lower layer as the upper layer
may be writable, thus allowing an unwritable file from the lower layer to be
copied up and modified.

Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation. If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.
i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup. Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open(). If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.
For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place. This will be removed once all the users are converted.
David Howells noticed that if ->atomic_open() opens the file but does not create
it, handle_truncate() will be called on it even if it is not a regular file.
Fix this by checking the file type in this case too.

Split __dentry_open() into two functions:
do_dentry_open() - does most of the actual work, doesn't put file on failure
open_check_o_direct() - after a successful open, checks direct_IO method
This will allow i_op->atomic_open to do just the file initialization and leave
the direct_IO checking to the VFS.

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.
This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)

Currently remouting superblock read-only is racy in a major way.
With the per mount read-only infrastructure it is now possible to
prevent most races, which this patch attempts.
Before starting the remount read-only, iterate through all mounts
belonging to the superblock and if none of them have any pending
writes, set sb->s_readonly_remount. This indicates that remount is in
progress and no further write requests are allowed. If the remount
succeeds set MS_RDONLY and reset s_readonly_remount.
If the remounting is unsuccessful just reset s_readonly_remount.
This can result in transient EROFS errors, despite the fact the
remount failed. Unfortunately hodling off writes is difficult as
remount itself may touch the filesystem (e.g. through load_nls())
which would deadlock.
A later patch deals with delayed writes due to nlink going to zero.

The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback
threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the
time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference
to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only
continue if an unmount is not in progress.
pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c
and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via
fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.

New helper (non-exported, fs/internal.h-only): __d_alloc(sb, name).
Allocates dentry, sets its ->d_sb to given superblock and sets
->d_op accordingly. Old d_alloc(NULL, name) callers are converted
to that (all of them know what superblock they want). d_alloc()
itself is left only for parent != NULl case; uses __d_alloc(),
inserts result into the list of parent's children.
Note that now ->d_sb is assign-once and never NULL *and*
->d_parent is never NULL either.
