If module removes proc directory while another process pins it by
chdir'ing to it, then subsequent recreation of proc entry and all
entries down the tree will not be visible to any process until pinning
process unchdir from directory and unpins everything.
Steps to reproduce:
proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);
chdir("/proc/aaa");
remove_proc_entry("aaa/bbb", NULL);
remove_proc_entry("aaa", NULL);
proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
# inaccessible because "aaa" dentry still points
# to the original "aaa".
proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);
Fix is to implement ->d_revalidate and ->d_delete.

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.
Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!
As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing
array for name, however, because of SLAB padding allocations it is
possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.
It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.
Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.
Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.
The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.
Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.
========
OVERVIEW
========
The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.
A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:
(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.
(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.
(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).
(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).
This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].
(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).
(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).
And the following have been left out for future extension:
(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].
Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.
(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).
(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].
(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].
(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).
(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].
(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).
(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...
(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).
(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].
(Deferred to fsinfo).
(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].
(Deferred to fsinfo).
(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).
(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).
(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].
(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).
(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].
(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).
(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.
===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============
The new system call is:
int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);
The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.
Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):
(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.
(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.
(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.
mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.
buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.
======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================
The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:
struct statx_timestamp {
__s64 tv_sec;
__s32 tv_nsec;
__s32 __reserved;
};
struct statx {
__u32 stx_mask;
__u32 stx_blksize;
__u64 stx_attributes;
__u32 stx_nlink;
__u32 stx_uid;
__u32 stx_gid;
__u16 stx_mode;
__u16 __spare0[1];
__u64 stx_ino;
__u64 stx_size;
__u64 stx_blocks;
__u64 __spare1[1];
struct statx_timestamp stx_atime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_btime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime;
__u32 stx_rdev_major;
__u32 stx_rdev_minor;
__u32 stx_dev_major;
__u32 stx_dev_minor;
__u64 __spare2[14];
};
The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:
STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink
STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid
STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid
STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino
STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size
STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]
stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
placed.
Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.
The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:
STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs
Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:
KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS
[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]
New flags include:
STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger
These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.
Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:
(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.
These are local system information and are always available.
(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.
These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.
If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.
If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.
Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.
(2) stx_rdev_*.
This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.
(3) stx_btime.
Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.
=======
TESTING
=======
The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:
samples/statx/test-statx.c
Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.
Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make
change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information
in it. However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by
more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update
calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement
respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates.
The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other
architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock. So
unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion.
This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable
concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a
write lock:
- proc_register()
- remove_proc_entry()
- remove_proc_subtree()
The following functions were modified to take a read lock:
- xlate_proc_name()
- proc_lookup_de()
- proc_readdir_de()
A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads)
was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads). Before the patch, the
parallel search took about 39s. After the patch, the parallel find took
only 25s, a saving of about 14s.
The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to
reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application. In
fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me.

When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the
creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part.
The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single
linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of
entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened).
This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree.
Here are some numbers:
dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'.
Before the patch:
$ time ip -b dummy30000.batch
real 2m31.950s
user 0m0.440s
sys 2m21.440s
$ time rmmod dummy
real 1m35.764s
user 0m0.000s
sys 1m24.088s
After the patch:
$ time ip -b dummy30000.batch
real 2m0.874s
user 0m0.448s
sys 1m49.720s
$ time rmmod dummy
real 1m13.988s
user 0m0.000s
sys 1m1.008s
The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

* remove proc_create(NULL, ...) check, let it oops
* warn about proc_create("", ...) and proc_create("very very long name", ...)
proc code keeps length as u8, no 256+ name length possible
* warn about proc_create("123", ...)
/proc/$PID and /proc/misc namespaces are separate things,
but dumb module might create funky a-la $PID entry.
* remove post mortem strchr('/') check
Triggering it implies either strchr() is buggy or memory corruption.
It should be VFS check anyway.
In reality, none of these checks will ever trigger,
it is preparation for the next patch.
Based on patch from Al Viro.

In the previous commit, Richard Genoud fixed proc_root_readdir(), which
had lost the check for whether all of the non-process /proc entries had
been returned or not.
But that in turn exposed _another_ bug, namely that the original readdir
conversion patch had yet another problem: it had lost the return value
of proc_readdir_de(), so now checking whether it had completed
successfully or not didn't actually work right anyway.
This reinstates the non-zero return for the "end of base entries" that
had also gotten lost in commit f0c3b5093a ("[readdir] convert
procfs"). So now you get all the base entries *and* you get all the
process entries, regardless of getdents buffer size.
(Side note: the Linux "getdents" manual page actually has a nice example
application for testing getdents, which can be easily modified to use
different buffers. Who knew? Man-pages can be useful)

Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs. This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line. This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.
Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs.

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.
ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.
This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

Add proc_mkdir_data() to allow procfs directories to be created that are
annotated at the time of creation with private data rather than doing this
post-creation. This means no access is then required to the proc_dir_entry
struct to set this.

Delete create_proc_read_entry() as it no longer has any users.
Also delete read_proc_t, write_proc_t, the read_proc member of the
proc_dir_entry struct and the support functions that use them. This saves a
pointer for every PDE allocated.

Switch huge if-statement in __proc_file_read() around. This then puts the
single line loop break immediately after the if-statement and allows us to
de-indent the huge comment and make it take fewer lines. The code following
the if-statement then follows naturally from the call to dp->read_proc().

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

just what it sounds like; do that only to procfs subtrees you've
created - doing that to something shared with another driver is
not only antisocial, but might cause interesting races with
proc_create() and its ilk.
