Yehuda Sadeh 37151668ba ceph: do caps accounting per mds_client
Caps related accounting is now being done per mds client instead
of just being global. This prepares ground work for a later revision
of the caps preallocated reservation list.

Sage Weil 3b454c4945 ceph: simplify caps revocation, fix for multimds
The caps revocation should either initiate writeback, invalidateion, or
call check_caps to ack or do the dirty work.  The primary question is
whether we can get away with only checking the auth cap or whether all
caps need to be checked.

The old code was doing...something else.  At the very least, revocations
from non-auth MDSs could break by triggering the "check auth cap only"
case.

Sage Weil ec97f88ba6 ceph: only release clean, unused caps with mds requests
We can drop caps with an mds request.  Ensure we only drop unused AND
clean caps, since the MDS doesn't support cap writeback in that context,
nor do we track it.  If caps are dirty, and the MDS needs them back, we
it will revoke and we will flush in the normal fashion.

This fixes a possibly loss of metadata.

Sage Weil f818a73674 ceph: fix cap removal races
The iterate_session_caps helper traverses the session caps list and tries
to grab an inode reference.  However, the __ceph_remove_cap was clearing
the inode backpointer _before_ removing itself from the session list,
causing a null pointer dereference.

Clear cap->ci under protection of s_cap_lock to avoid the race, and to
tightly couple the list and backpointer state.  Use a local flag to
indicate whether we are releasing the cap, as cap->session may be modified
by a racing thread in iterate_session_caps.

Sage Weil 819ccbfa44 ceph: fix leaked inode ref due to snap metadata writeback race
We create a ceph_cap_snap if there is dirty cap metadata (for writeback to
mds) OR dirty pages (for writeback to osd).  It is thus possible that the
metadata has been written back to the MDS but the OSD data has not when
the cap_snap is created.  This results in a cap_snap with dirty(caps) == 0.
The problem is that cap writeback to the MDS isn't necessary, and a
FLUSHSNAP cap op gets no ack from the MDS.  This leaves the cap_snap
attached to the inode along with its inode reference.

Fix the problem by dropping the cap_snap if it becomes 'complete' (all
pages written out) and dirty(caps) == 0 in ceph_put_wrbuffer_cap_refs().

Also, BUG() in __ceph_flush_snaps() if we encounter a cap_snap with
dirty(caps) == 0.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

Sage Weil 916623da10 ceph: only release unused caps with mds requests
We were releasing used caps (e.g. FILE_CACHE) from encode_inode_release
with MDS requests (e.g. setattr).  We don't carry refs on most caps, so
this code worked most of the time, but for setattr (utimes) we try to
drop Fscr.

This causes cap state to get slightly out of sync with reality, and may
result in subsequent mds revoke messages getting ignored.

Fix by only releasing unused caps.

Sage Weil cdc2ce056a ceph: fix session locking in handle_caps, ceph_check_caps
Passing a session pointer to ceph_check_caps() used to mean it would leave
the session mutex locked.  That wasn't always possible if it wasn't passed
CHECK_CAPS_AUTHONLY.   If could unlock the passed session and lock a
differet session mutex, which was clearly wrong, and also emitted a
warning when it a racing CPU retook it and we did an unlock from the wrong
context.

This was only a problem when there was more than one MDS.

First, make ceph_check_caps unconditionally drop the session mutex, so that
it is free to lock other sessions as needed.  Then adjust the one caller
that passes in a session (handle_cap_grant) accordingly.

Sage Weil 7c1332b8cb ceph: fix iterate_caps removal race
We need to be able to iterate over all caps on a session with a
possibly slow callback on each cap.  To allow this, we used to
prevent cap reordering while we were iterating.  However, we were
not safe from races with removal: removing the 'next' cap would
make the next pointer from list_for_each_entry_safe be invalid,
and cause a lock up or similar badness.

Instead, we keep an iterator pointer in the session pointing to
the current cap.  As before, we avoid reordering.  For removal,
if the cap isn't the current cap we are iterating over, we are
fine.  If it is, we clear cap->ci (to mark the cap as pending
removal) but leave it in the session list.  In iterate_caps, we
can safely finish removal and get the next cap pointer.

While we're at it, clean up put_cap to not take a cap reservation
context, as it was never used.

We were using the cap_gen to track both stale caps (caps that timed out
due to temporarily losing touch with the mds) and dead caps that did not
reconnect after an MDS failure.  Introduce a recon_gen counter to track
reconnections to restarted MDSs and kill dead caps based on that instead.

Rename gen to cap_gen while we're at it to make it more clear which is
which.

Sage Weil 6b8051855d ceph: allocate and parse mount args before client instance
This simplifies much of the error handling during mount.  It also means
that we have the mount args before client creation, and we can initialize
based on those options.

Sage Weil afcdaea3f2 ceph: flush dirty caps via the cap_dirty list
Previously we were flushing dirty caps by passing an extra flag
when traversing the delayed caps list.  Besides being a bit ugly,
that can also miss caps that are dirty but didn't result in a
cap requeue: notably, mark_caps_dirty().

Separate the flushing into a separate helper, and traverse the
cap_dirty list.

This also brings i_dirty_item in line with i_dirty_caps: we are
on the list IFF caps != 0.  We carry an inode ref IFF
dirty_caps|flushing_caps != 0.

Lose the unused return value from __ceph_mark_caps_dirty().

Sage Weil cdc35f9627 ceph: move generic flushing code into helper
Both callers of __mark_caps_flushing() do the same work; move it
into the helper.

Sage Weil a8599bd821 ceph: capability management
The Ceph metadata servers control client access to inode metadata and
file data by issuing capabilities, granting clients permission to read
and/or write both inode field and file data to OSDs (storage nodes).
Each capability consists of a set of bits indicating which operations
are allowed.

If the client holds a *_SHARED cap, the client has a coherent value
that can be safely read from the cached inode.

In the case of a *_EXCL (exclusive) or FILE_WR capabilities, the client
is allowed to change inode attributes (e.g., file size, mtime), note
its dirty state in the ceph_cap, and asynchronously flush that
metadata change to the MDS.

In the event of a conflicting operation (perhaps by another client),
the MDS will revoke the conflicting client capabilities.

In order for a client to cache an inode, it must hold a capability
with at least one MDS server.  When inodes are released, release
notifications are batched and periodically sent en masse to the MDS
cluster to release server state.
