jbd2: drop declaration of journal_sync_buffer()

2019-06-20T21:32:21Z

The journal_sync_buffer() function was never carried over from jbd to jbd2. So get rid of the vestigal declaration of this (non-existent) function. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Darrick J. Wong

jbd2: introduce jbd2_inode dirty range scoping

2019-06-20T21:24:56Z

Currently both journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() operate on the entire address space of each of the inodes associated with a given journal entry. The consequence of this is that if we have an inode where we are constantly appending dirty pages we can end up waiting for an indefinite amount of time in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() while we wait for all the pages under writeback to be written out. The easiest way to cause this type of workload is do just dd from /dev/zero to a file until it fills the entire filesystem. This can cause journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() to wait for the duration of the entire dd operation. We can improve this situation by scoping each of the inode dirty ranges associated with a given transaction. We do this via the jbd2_inode structure so that the scoping is contained within jbd2 and so that it follows the lifetime and locking rules for that structure. This allows us to limit the writeback & wait in journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() respectively to the dirty range for a given struct jdb2_inode, keeping us from waiting forever if the inode in question is still being appended to.

jbd2: fix potential double free

2019-05-11T01:15:47Z

When failing from creating cache jbd2_inode_cache, we will destroy the previously created cache jbd2_handle_cache twice. This patch fixes this by moving each cache initialization/destruction to its own separate, individual function. Signed-off-by: Chengguang Xu Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@kernel.org

crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags

2019-04-25T07:38:12Z

The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything. The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op. With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions, which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep. Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all. Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

jbd2: update locking documentation for transaction_t

The following members of struct transaction_s aka transaction_t were turned into lock-free variables in the past: - t_updates - t_outstanding_credits - t_handle_count However, the documentation has not been updated yet. This commit replaced the annotated lock by [none].

jbd2: avoid long hold times of j_state_lock while committing a transaction

2018-12-04T04:16:07Z

We can hold j_state_lock for writing at the beginning of jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for a rather long time (reportedly for 30 ms) due cleaning revoke bits of all revoked buffers under it. The handling of revoke tables as well as cleaning of t_reserved_list, and checkpoint lists does not need j_state_lock for anything. It is only needed to prevent new handles from joining the transaction. Generally T_LOCKED transaction state prevents new handles from joining the transaction - except for reserved handles which have to allowed to join while we wait for other handles to complete. To prevent reserved handles from joining the transaction while cleaning up lists, add new transaction state T_SWITCH and watch for it when starting reserved handles. With this we can just drop the lock for operations that don't need it. Reported-and-tested-by: Adrian Hunter Suggested-by: "Theodore Y. Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

jbd2: fix sphinx kernel-doc build warnings

2018-01-10T05:27:29Z

Sphinx emits various (26) warnings when building make target 'htmldocs'. Currently struct definitions contain duplicate documentation, some as kernel-docs and some as standard c89 comments. We can reduce duplication while cleaning up the kernel docs. Move all kernel-docs to right above each struct member. Use the set of all existing comments (kernel-doc and c89). Add documentation for missing struct members and function arguments. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

ext4: Support for synchronous DAX faults

2017-11-03T13:26:26Z

We return IOMAP_F_DIRTY flag from ext4_iomap_begin() when asked to prepare blocks for writing and the inode has some uncommitted metadata changes. In the fault handler ext4_dax_fault() we then detect this case (through VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC return value) and call helper dax_finish_sync_fault() to flush metadata changes and insert page table entry. Note that this will also dirty corresponding radix tree entry which is what we want - fsync(2) will still provide data integrity guarantees for applications not using userspace flushing. And applications using userspace flushing can avoid calling fsync(2) and thus avoid the performance overhead. Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
