commit 35f9c09fe9 (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
frags but the last one for a splice() call.
The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
or a smaller one.
But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.
The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
sessions.
We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment
is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1)
Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
and test programs.

There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem. mmap
(handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by
__generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write),
truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside
each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and
sb_end_write().
->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with
mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock
ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection
sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()
commit 35f3d14dbb (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.
Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.
Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.
splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the

update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).

Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time
fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super
reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later
...
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.
The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.
The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.
This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.
We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

mapping_gfp_mask() is not supposed to store allocation contex details,
only page location details. So mapping_gfp_mask should be applied to the
pagecache page allocation, wheras normal (kernel mapped) memory should be
used for surrounding allocations such as radix-tree nodes allocated by
add_to_page_cache. Context modifiers should be applied on a per-callsite
basis.
So change splice to follow this convention (which is followed in similar
code patterns in core code).

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still
checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly. Although
if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same
time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently. This
patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output
file. Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

files just like read and write. Not updating mtime will confuse

Unfortunately multiple kmap() within a single thread are deadlockable,
so writing out multiple buffers with writev() isn't possible.
Change the implementation so that it does a separate write() for each
buffer. This actually simplifies the code a lot since the
splice_from_pipe() helper can be used.
This limitation is caused by HIGHMEM pages, and so only affects a
subset of architectures and configurations. In the future it may be

Allow splice(2) to work when both the input and the output is a pipe.
Based on the impementation of the tee(2) syscall, but instead of
duplicating the buffer references move the buffers from the input pipe
to the output pipe.
Moving the whole buffer only succeeds if the full length of the buffer
is spliced. Otherwise duplicate the buffer, just like tee(2), set the
length of the output buffer and advance the offset on the input
buffer.
Since splice is operating on two pipes, special care needs to be taken
with locking to prevent AN ABBA deadlock. Again this is done
similarly to the tee(2) syscall, first preparing the input and output
pipes so there's data to consume and space for that data, and then
doing the move operation while holding both locks.
If other processes are doing I/O on the same pipes parallel to the
splice, then by the time both inodes are locked there might be no
buffers left to move, or no space to move them to. In this case retry
the whole operation, including the preparation phase. This could lead
to starvation, but I'm not sure if that's serious enough to worry
about.

There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code:
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
/* do something */
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():
- task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
- this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
pipe->inode and target inode
- ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
locked first
- __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
- this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
- task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
- this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
already held by task A
- task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
it is already held by task B
- ABBA deadlock
Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.
Now,
- page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).
- LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.
- page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.
- To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
- lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);
- SwapCache is handled.
And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
.....add to LRU
spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);
But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.
This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
....add to LRU
}
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
- at charge.
- at account_move().
2. at charge
the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
3. at account_move()
the page is isolated and not on LRU.
Pros.
- easy for maintenance.
- memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
- we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
- LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
- # of locks are reduced.
- account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
- may increase cost of LRU rotation.
(no impact if memcg is not configured.)

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.
It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.
But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).
So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.

http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Changelog:
Nov 27:
Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
Fix Kconfig dependency.
Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
Nov 13:
Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
Nov 13:
Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
Dobriyan.
Nov 09:
Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.
Nov 08:
For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Nov 07:
Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
check_cap_sanity().
Nov 07:
Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.
Nov 05:
Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
cap support can be stacked.
Sep 05:
As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
for capability code.
Sep 01:
Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
d_instantiate.
Aug 10:
Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
caching it at d_instantiate.

OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed
nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of
discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice.
This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it
should.
nfsd_vfs_read()
splice_direct_to_actor()
while(len) {
do_splice_to() [update sd->pos]
-> generic_file_splice_read() [read from sd->pos]
nfsd_direct_splice_actor()
-> __splice_from_pipe() [update sd->pos]
There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct
splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths.
So it has to take care in locally caching offset so it remains correct.

If the output actor doesn't transfer the full amount of data, we will
increment ppos too much. Two related bugs in there:
- We need to break out and return actor() retval if it is shorted than
what we spliced into the pipe.
- Adjust ppos only according to actor() return.
Also fix loop problem in generic_file_splice_read(), it should not keep
going when data has already been transferred.

A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But

For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred

The exit logic looks at spd->nr_pages to see if we moved

Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:
__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.
However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read
So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

__generic_file_splice_read's partial page check, at eof after readpage,

Eric Dumazet, thank you for disclosing this bug.
Readahead logic somehow fails to populate the page range with data.
It can be because
1) the readahead routine is not always called in the following lines of
fs/splice.c:
if (!loff || nr_pages > 1)
page_cache_readahead(mapping, &in->f_ra, in, index, nr_pages);
2) even called, page_cache_readahead() wont guarantee the pages are there.
It wont submit readahead I/O for pages already in the radix tree, or when
(ra_pages == 0), or after 256 cache hits.
In your case, it should be because of the retried reads, which lead to
excessive cache hits, and disables readahead at some time.
And that _one_ failure of readahead blocks the whole read process.
The application receives EAGAIN and retries the read, but
__generic_file_splice_read() refuse to make progress:
- in the previous invocation, it has allocated a blank page and inserted it
into the radix tree, but never has the chance to start I/O for it: the test
of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK goes before that.
- in the retried invocation, the readahead code will neither get out of the
cache hit mode, nor will it submit I/O for an already existing page.

Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing
to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us.
Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate.

matter of course when removing the readpage logic.

Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert
an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care
of it later.
We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not
write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives
that guarantee.
Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write
aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then
we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and
all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.
The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.

Several issues noticed/fixed:
- We cannot reliably block in link_pipe() while holding both input and output
mutexes. So do preparatory checks before locking down both mutexes and doing
the link.
- The ipipe->nrbufs vs i check was bad, because we could have dropped the
ipipe lock in-between. This causes us to potentially look at unknown
buffers if we were racing with someone else reading this pipe.

The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.
Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c
