rcu: Provide cond_resched_rcu_qs() to force quiescent states in long loops

2014-09-07T23:27:20Z

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping. This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce IPI usage. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro: "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this window. Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into mainline and with some I want more testing. This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to usual beating.

vfs: Don't let __fdget_pos() get FMODE_PATH files

2014-03-23T04:03:12Z

Commit bd2a31d522344 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the __fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'. However, it also changed the behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files. This commit restores the old behavior. This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.

instead of returning the flags by reference, we can just have the low-level primitive return those in lower bits of unsigned long, with struct file * derived from the rest. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: Substitute rcu_access_pointer() for rcu_dereference_raw()

2014-02-17T23:02:21Z

(Trivial patch.) If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not dereferencing it, the rcu_dereference() functions can be downgraded to rcu_access_pointer(). This commit makes this downgrade in __alloc_fd(), which simply compares the RCU-protected pointer against NULL with no dereferencing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
