FS-Cache: Provide proper invalidation

2012-12-20T22:04:07Z

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring. Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting

2012-12-20T21:58:26Z

Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

Pull new F2FS filesystem from Jaegeuk Kim: "Introduce a new file system, Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS), to Linux 3.8. Highlights: - Add initial f2fs source codes - Fix an endian conversion bug - Fix build failures on random configs - Fix the power-off-recovery routine - Minor cleanup, coding style, and typos patches" From the Kconfig help text: F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead. Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms. and there's an article by Neil Brown about it on lwn.net: http://lwn.net/Articles/518988/ * tag 'for-3.8-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (36 commits) f2fs: fix tracking parent inode number f2fs: cleanup the f2fs_bio_alloc routine f2fs: introduce accessor to retrieve number of dentry slots f2fs: remove redundant call to f2fs_put_page in delete entry f2fs: make use of GFP_F2FS_ZERO for setting gfp_mask f2fs: rewrite f2fs_bio_alloc to make it simpler f2fs: fix a typo in f2fs documentation f2fs: remove unused variable f2fs: move error condition for mkdir at proper place f2fs: remove unneeded initialization f2fs: check read only condition before beginning write out f2fs: remove unneeded memset from init_once f2fs: show error in case of invalid mount arguments f2fs: fix the compiler warning for uninitialized use of variable f2fs: resolve build failures f2fs: adjust kernel coding style f2fs: fix endian conversion bugs reported by sparse f2fs: remove unneeded version.h header file from f2fs.h f2fs: update the f2fs document f2fs: update Kconfig and Makefile ...
