vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc

2010-07-20T23:25:41Z

If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(). This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded process. To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty() provided in a separate commit.

vfs: add fs.h to define struct file

2010-06-14T23:37:27Z

The sparse RCU-pointer annotations require definition of the underlying type of any pointer passed to rcu_dereference() and friends. So fcheck_files() needs "struct file" to be defined, so include fs.h. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Al Viro

vfs: Abstract rcu_dereference_check for files-fdtable use

2010-02-25T09:34:49Z

Create an rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() that encapsulates the rcu_dereference_check() condition for fcheck_files() use. This has the beneficial side-effect of getting rid of a very long line.

kmemtrace, fs: fix linux/fdtable.h header file dependencies

2009-04-03T10:13:03Z

Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fdtable.h has an implicit include file dependency: it uses __init does not include init.h. This can cause build failures on non-x86 architectures: /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/fdtable.h:66: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'files_defer_init' make[2]: *** [fs/locks.o] Error 1 We got this header included indirectly via rcupdate.h's percpu.h inclusion - but if that is not there the build will break. Fix it. Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu Cc: paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com LKML-Reference: <1237898630.25315.83.camel@penberg-laptop> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.c

2008-12-31T23:07:42Z

Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(), we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep is static to fs/file_table.c Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Al Viro
