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.

While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The
problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334.
v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666.
This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after
a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped
during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().
v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when
unlocking a file.

Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:
(1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
(fscache_write_op()).
(2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
(cachefiles_write_page()).
(3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
page.
(4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
can copy the data from the netfs page.
(5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
(try_to_free_pages()).
(6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
one it's trying to write out).
(7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).
(8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.
The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.
To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed. This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time. To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.
The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan". There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.
What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages. If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir
seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize. I'm not sure what people think of
my co-opting of fid->aux here. I'd be happy to rework if there's a better
way.
When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller
than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir()
currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read
request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned,
which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description.
This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call.

I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is
incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old
version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long
enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char,
and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm
still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is
supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we
do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it
is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so
null character may be fine there ;):

This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.
When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)
A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

up_write(sb->s_unmount);
deactivate_super(sb);

In v9fs_get_inode(), for block, as well as char devices (in theory),
the function init_special_inode() is called to set up callback functions
for file ops. this function uses the file mode's value to determine whether
to use block or char dev functions. In v9fs_inode_from_fid(), the function
p9mode2unixmode() is used, but for all devices it initially returns S_IFBLK,
then uses v9fs_get_inode() to initialise a new inode, then finally uses
v9fs_stat2inode(), which would determine whether the inode is a block or
character device. However, at that point init_special_inode() had already
decided to use the block device functions, so even if the inode's mode is
turned to a character device, the block functions are still used to operate
on them. The attached patch simply calls init_special_inode() again for devices
after parsing device node data in v9fs_stat2inode() so that the proper functions
are used.

Currently, the 9p net wire operation ensures that all data is sent by sending
multiple packets if the data requested is larger than the msize. This is
better handled in the vfs code so that we can simplify wire operations to
being concerned with only putting data onto and taking data off of the wire.

There are a couple of methods in the client code which aren't actually

the buffer on whether the kernel buffer or the user buffer is populated.

This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.
Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.
This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):
- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
only with the 9P2000.u dialect.
- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
to access it will get EPERM error.
- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
one.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Multiple races can happen when v9fs is interrupted by a signal and Tflush
message is sent to the server. After v9fs sends Tflush it doesn't wait
until it receives Rflush, and possibly the response of the original
message. This behavior may confuse v9fs what fids are allocated by the
file server.
This patch fixes the races and the fid allocation.

There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project.
The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to
v9fs. The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P.
This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in
order to match the directory name. We'll also start using 9p instead of
v9fs as our patch prefix.
There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name
option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options.

If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative
dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops. This leaves the negative entry
in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal). If the file is
created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the
directory with weird permissions.
This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.

v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux
dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for
aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including
wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd).
This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids
will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally
correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0
(and d_delete is called).
Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or
uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when
we fix the security model.

When v9fs_mux_rpc sends a 9P message, it may be put in the queue of unsent
request. If the user process receives a signal, v9fs_mux_rpc sets the
request error to ERREQFLUSH and assigns NULL to request's send message. If
the message was still in the unsent queue, v9fs_write_work would produce an
oops while processing it.
The patch makes sure that requests that are being flushed are moved to the
pending requests queue safely.
If a request is being flushed, don't remove it from the list of pending
requests even if it receives a reply before the flush is acknoledged. The
request will be removed during from the Rflush handler (v9fs_mux_flush_cb).

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>
So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

OVERVIEW
V9FS is a distributed file system for Linux which provides an
implementation of the Plan 9 resource sharing protocol 9P. It can be
used to share all sorts of resources: static files, synthetic file servers
(such as /proc or /sys), devices, and application file servers (such as
FUSE).
BACKGROUND
Plan 9 (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9) is a research operating
system and associated applications suite developed by the Computing
Science Research Center of AT&T Bell Laboratories (now a part of
Lucent Technologies), the same group that developed UNIX , C, and C++.
Plan 9 was initially released in 1993 to universities, and then made
generally available in 1995. Its core operating systems code laid the
foundation for the Inferno Operating System released as a product by
Lucent Bell-Labs in 1997. The Inferno venture was the only commercial
embodiment of Plan 9 and is currently maintained as a product by Vita
Nuova (http://www.vitanuova.com). After updated releases in 2000 and
2002, Plan 9 was open-sourced under the OSI approved Lucent Public
License in 2003.
The Plan 9 project was started by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike in 1985.
Their intent was to explore potential solutions to some of the
shortcomings of UNIX in the face of the widespread use of high-speed
networks to connect machines. In UNIX, networking was an afterthought
and UNIX clusters became little more than a network of stand-alone
systems. Plan 9 was designed from first principles as a seamless
distributed system with integrated secure network resource sharing.
Applications and services were architected in such a way as to allow
for implicit distribution across a cluster of systems. Configuring an
environment to use remote application components or services in place
of their local equivalent could be achieved with a few simple command
line instructions. For the most part, application implementations
operated independent of the location of their actual resources.
Commercial operating systems haven't changed much in the 20 years
since Plan 9 was conceived. Network and distributed systems support is
provided by a patchwork of middle-ware, with an endless number of
packages supplying pieces of the puzzle. Matters are complicated by
the use of different complicated protocols for individual services,
and separate implementations for kernel and application resources.
The V9FS project (http://v9fs.sourceforge.net) is an attempt to bring
Plan 9's unified approach to resource sharing to Linux and other
operating systems via support for the 9P2000 resource sharing
protocol.
V9FS HISTORY
V9FS was originally developed by Ron Minnich and Maya Gokhale at Los
Alamos National Labs (LANL) in 1997. In November of 2001, Greg Watson
setup a SourceForge project as a public repository for the code which
supported the Linux 2.4 kernel.
About a year ago, I picked up the initial attempt Ron Minnich had
made to provide 2.6 support and got the code integrated into a 2.6.5
kernel. I then went through a line-for-line re-write attempting to
clean-up the code while more closely following the Linux Kernel style
guidelines. I co-authored a paper with Ron Minnich on the V9FS Linux
support including performance comparisons to NFSv3 using Bonnie and
PostMark - this paper appeared at the USENIX/FREENIX 2005
conference in April 2005:
( http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/tech/freenix/hensbergen.html ).
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION/REQUEST FOR COMMENTS
Our 2.6 kernel support is stabilizing and we'd like to begin pursuing
its integration into the official kernel tree. We would appreciate any
review, comments, critiques, and additions from this community and are
actively seeking people to join our project and help us produce
something that would be acceptable and useful to the Linux community.
STATUS
The code is reasonably stable, although there are no doubt corner cases
our regression tests haven't discovered yet. It is in regular use by several
of the developers and has been tested on x86 and PowerPC
(32-bit and 64-bit) in both small and large (LANL cluster) deployments.
Our current regression tests include fsx, bonnie, and postmark.
It was our intention to keep things as simple as possible for this
release -- trying to focus on correctness within the core of the
protocol support versus a rich set of features. For example: a more
complete security model and cache layer are in the road map, but
excluded from this release. Additionally, we have removed support for
mmap operations at Al Viro's request.
PERFORMANCE
Detailed performance numbers and analysis are included in the FREENIX
paper, but we show comparable performance to NFSv3 for large file
operations based on the Bonnie benchmark, and superior performance for
many small file operations based on the PostMark benchmark. Somewhat
preliminary graphs (from the FREENIX paper) are available
(http://v9fs.sourceforge.net/perf/index.html).
RESOURCES
The source code is available in a few different forms:
tarballs: http://v9fs.sf.net
CVSweb: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/v9fs/linux-9p/
CVS: :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/v9fs/linux-9p
Git: rsync://v9fs.graverobber.org/v9fs (webgit: http://v9fs.graverobber.org)
9P: tcp!v9fs.graverobber.org!6564
The user-level server is available from either the Plan 9 distribution
or from http://v9fs.sf.net
Other support applications are still being developed, but preliminary
version can be downloaded from sourceforge.
Documentation on the protocol has historically been the Plan 9 Man
pages (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/5/INDEX.html), but there is
an effort under way to write a more complete Internet-Draft style
specification (http://v9fs.sf.net/rfc).
There are a couple of mailing lists supporting v9fs, but the most used
is v9fs-developer@lists.sourceforge.net -- please direct/cc your
comments there so the other v9fs contibutors can participate in the
conversation. There is also an IRC channel: irc://freenode.net/#v9fs
This part of the patch contains Documentation, Makefiles, and configuration
file changes.
