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

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

Ceph snapshots rely on client cooperation in determining which
operations apply to which snapshots, and appropriately flushing
snapshotted data and metadata back to the OSD and MDS clusters.
Because snapshots apply to subtrees of the file hierarchy and can be
created at any time, there is a fair bit of bookkeeping required to
make this work.
Portions of the hierarchy that belong to the same set of snapshots
are described by a single 'snap realm.' A 'snap context' describes
the set of snapshots that exist for a given file or directory.

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.

CRUSH is a pseudorandom data distribution function designed to map
inputs onto a dynamic hierarchy of devices, while minimizing the
extent to which inputs are remapped when the devices are added or
removed. It includes some features that are specifically useful for
storage, most notably the ability to map each input onto a set of N
devices that are separated across administrator-defined failure
domains. CRUSH is used to distribute data across the cluster of Ceph
storage nodes.

The OSD client is responsible for reading and writing data from/to the
object storage pool. This includes determining where objects are
stored in the cluster, and ensuring that requests are retried or
redirected in the event of a node failure or data migration.
If an OSD does not respond before a timeout expires, keepalive
messages are sent across the lossless, ordered communications channel
to ensure that any break in the TCP is discovered. If the session
does reset, a reconnection is attempted and affected requests are
resent (by the message transport layer).

The MDS (metadata server) client is responsible for submitting
requests to the MDS cluster and parsing the response. We decide which
MDS to submit each request to based on cached information about the
current partition of the directory hierarchy across the cluster. A
stateful session is opened with each MDS before we submit requests to
it, and a mutex is used to control the ordering of messages within
each session.
An MDS request may generate two responses. The first indicates the
operation was a success and returns any result. A second reply is
sent when the operation commits to disk. Note that locking on the MDS
ensures that the results of updates are visible only to the updating
client before the operation commits. Requests are linked to the
containing directory so that an fsync will wait for them to commit.
If an MDS fails and/or recovers, we resubmit requests as needed. We
also reconnect existing capabilities to a recovering MDS to
reestablish that shared session state. Old dentry leases are
invalidated.

The ceph address space methods are concerned primarily with managing
the dirty page accounting in the inode, which (among other things)
must keep track of which snapshot context each page was dirtied in,
and ensure that dirty data is written out to the OSDs in snapshort
order.
A writepage() on a page that is not currently writeable due to
snapshot writeback ordering constraints is ignored (it was presumably
called from kswapd).

File open and close operations, and read and write methods that ensure
we have obtained the proper capabilities from the MDS cluster before
performing IO on a file. We take references on held capabilities for
the duration of the read/write to avoid prematurely releasing them
back to the MDS.
We implement two main paths for read and write: one that is buffered
(and uses generic_aio_{read,write}), and one that is fully synchronous
and blocking (operating either on a __user pointer or, if O_DIRECT,
directly on user pages).

Directory operations, including lookup, are defined here. We take
advantage of lookup intents when possible. For the most part, we just
need to build the proper requests for the metadata server(s) and
pass things off to the mds_client.
The results of most operations are normally incorporated into the
client's cache when the reply is parsed by ceph_fill_trace().
However, if the MDS replies without a trace (e.g., when retrying an
update after an MDS failure recovery), some operation-specific cleanup
may be needed.
We can validate cached dentries in two ways. A per-dentry lease may
be issued by the MDS, or a per-directory cap may be issued that acts
as a lease on the entire directory. In the latter case, a 'gen' value
is used to determine which dentries belong to the currently leased
directory contents.
We normally prepopulate the dcache and icache with readdir results.
This makes subsequent lookups and getattrs avoid any server
interaction. It also lets us satisfy readdir operation by peeking at
the dcache IFF we hold the per-directory cap/lease, previously
performed a readdir, and haven't dropped any of the resulting
dentries.

writeback: stop background writeback when below background threshold
writeback: balance_dirty_pages() shall write more than dirtied pages
fs: Fix busyloop in wb_writeback()
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.
This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.
So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.
The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.

__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has
several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions.
To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to
another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes
from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address
this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes
from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior.
The loop in the patch is a bit ugly, should we add a dirty list for each
superblock in bdi_writeback?
Test in a two partition disk with attached fio script shows about 3% ~ 6%
improvement.

This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to
use the slow_work facility.
A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier
patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock
break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and
its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the
inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed.
This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount
reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be
no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one
already).
Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the
oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry
fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and
handling these structs.
Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes
in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the
dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to
the slow_work thread pool.
This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can
potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are
today.

There are two useless lines in fs/char_dev.c.
In register_chrdev there is a loop to change all '/' into '!' in the
kernel object name.
This code is useless as the same substitution is in kobject_set_name_vargs in
lib/kobject.c:
228 /* ewww... some of these buggers have '/' in the name ... */
229 while ((s = strchr(kobj->name, '/')))
230 s[0] = '!';
kobject_set_name_vargs is called by kobject_set_name.
kobject_set_name is called just above the useless loop.

Ignore the loader's PT_GNU_STACK when calculating the stack size, and only
consider the executable's PT_GNU_STACK, assuming the executable has one.
Currently the behaviour is to take the largest stack size and use that,
but that means you can't reduce the stack size in the executable. The
loader's stack size should probably only be used when executing the loader
directly.
WARNING: This patch is slightly dangerous - it may render a system
inoperable if the loader's stack size is larger than that of important
executables, and the system relies unknowingly on this increasing the size
of the stack.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.
Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.
The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.
Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:
struct f_owner_ex {
int type;
pid_t pid;
};
Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the
sender and uses current_cred().
This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case. From the security pov the
sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why
we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check.
Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or
SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing. But
still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a
couple of cycles.

sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after
search_binary_handler() does try_module_get(). In this case
set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers
check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old
->binfmt.
The proper fix should change all ->load_binary() methods, but we can
rely on fact that the caller must hold a reference to binfmt->module
and use __module_get() which never fails.

Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete
One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata
for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory. this is racy
however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space
process to complete before it reaps the crashing process. This patch
corrects that. Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to
complete before cleaning up the crashing process. This is a bit tricky to
do for a few reasons:
1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it
2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete,
since the user process may rely on an EOF condition
I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this,
and this is the one we've come up with. We add ourselves as a pipe reader
(to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove
ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user
space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we
detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop). When we
exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return
and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.
Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.
If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.
This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).
