13 years agomm: check if PTE is already allocated during page fault

mm: check if PTE is already allocated during page fault

With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault.  To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map as
pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD.  pte_offset_map() is
called once it is known the PMD is safe.

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost.  As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.  Thi
useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which is
visible in page_test from aim9.

This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table lock.
The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

  AIM9
                  2.6.38-vanilla 2.6.38-checkptenone
  creat-clo      446.10 ( 0.00%)   424.47 (-5.10%)

(While this affects 2.6.38, it is a performance rather than a functional
bug and normally outside the rules -stable.  While the big performance
differences are to a microbench, the difference in fork and exec
performance may be significant enough that -stable wants to consider the
patch)

mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanups

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).

So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).

After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case.  It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration).  So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

That patch caused the vfs to use kmalloc() for very large allocations and

To work around this problem initialize the device's power.entry

power.entry is still empty at this point, device_pm_add() hasn't been

eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr

After 57db4e8d73ef2b5e94a3f412108dff2576670a8a changed eCryptfs to
write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode
times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file.

To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with
utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in
ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't
clobbered later in writeback.

13 years agoeCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup
Tyler Hicks [Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:54:00 +0000 (14:54 -0500)]
eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup

When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup,
eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there
may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to
delete through the eCryptfs mount.

If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the
eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the
plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or
setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this
adds minimal performance overhead.

This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the
plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be
fixed in the open() or setattr() paths.

eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files

For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.

This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.

Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.

This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

13 years agovfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules
Linus Torvalds [Sun, 24 Apr 2011 14:58:46 +0000 (07:58 -0700)]
vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules

The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
while, in odd ways.  That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
and non-obvious.

In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.  That's despite the fact that the hash
abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).

The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit
b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").

That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
and wouldn't be free'd correctly.

That's just insane.  It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.

So turn all of it around, and make it logical.

Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
logic for that.  Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
and everything makes sense.

And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
needs the RCU lifetime rules.  Now suddently that test at dentry free
time makes sense too.

And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
common code for the unhashing.

Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

13 years agox86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers
Ingo Molnar [Fri, 22 Apr 2011 06:44:38 +0000 (08:44 +0200)]
x86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers

Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:

 |
 | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
 | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
 | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
 |

Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:

 |
 | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
 | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
 |
 | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
 |
 |    perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
 |
 | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
 |

But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.

The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.

We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.

"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.

We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.

That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:

  perf record -e dram ./myapp
  perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp

... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.

These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.

( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
  sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
  similarly simple usecases. )

Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:

  e994d7d23a0b: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere

But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.

( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
  supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
  useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
  *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )

Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d23a0b commit, not mentioned in the changelog.

As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.

Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.
