Christoph Hellwig 66d834ea60 xfs: implement optimized fdatasync
Allow us to track the difference between timestamp and size updates
by using mark_inode_dirty from the I/O completion code, and checking
the VFS inode flags in xfs_file_fsync.

Christoph Hellwig fd3200bef7 xfs: remove wrapper for the fsync file operation
Currently the fsync file operation is divided into a low-level
routine doing all the work and one that implements the Linux file
operation and does minimal argument wrapping.  This is a leftover
from the days of the vnode operations layer and can be removed to
simplify the code a bit, as well as preparing for the implementation
of an optimized fdatasync which needs to look at the Linux inode
state.

Christoph Hellwig dda35b8f84 xfs: merge xfs_lrw.c into xfs_file.c
Currently the code to implement the file operations is split over
two small files.  Merge the content of xfs_lrw.c into xfs_file.c to
have it in one place.  Note that I haven't done various cleanups
that are possible after this yet, they will follow in the next
patch.  Also the function xfs_dev_is_read_only which was in
xfs_lrw.c before really doesn't fit in here at all and was moved to
xfs_mount.c.

Eric Sandeen a9cc799eca xfs: increase readdir buffer size
While doing some testing of readdir perf a while back,
I noticed that the buffer size we're using internally is
smaller than what glibc gives us by default.  Upping this
size helped a bit, and seems safe.

glibc's __alloc_dir() does:

  const size_t default_allocation = (4 * BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
                                     ? sizeof (struct dirent64) : 4 * BUFSIZ);
  const size_t small_allocation = (BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
                                   ? sizeof (struct dirent64) : BUFSIZ);
  size_t allocation = default_allocation;
#ifdef _STATBUF_ST_BLKSIZE
  if (statp != NULL && default_allocation < statp->st_blksize)
    allocation = statp->st_blksize;
#endif

and

#define _G_BUFSIZ 8192
#define _IO_BUFSIZ _G_BUFSIZ
# define BUFSIZ _IO_BUFSIZ

so the default buffer is 4 * 8192 = 32768
(except in the unlikely case of blocks > 32k....)

Christoph Hellwig 13e6d5cdde xfs: merge fsync and O_SYNC handling
The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to
make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the
equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except
with a range data writeout.  Jan Kara has started unifying these two
path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to
look at XFS.

The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce
has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same.
We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward.  One major difference
is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we
commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious
bug in the O_SYNC handling.  Second all the locking and i_update_size
vs i_update_core changes from 978b723712
never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back.

To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait
call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole
file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write.

We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead
of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including
an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us.

Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size
tracking.

Nick Piggin c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Currently there's no ->open method set for directories on XFS.  That
means we don't perform any check for opening too large directories
without O_LARGEFILE, we don't check for shut down filesystems, and we

Instead of just setting the directories open routine to xfs_file_open
we merge the shutdown check directly into xfs_file_open and create
a new xfs_dir_open that first calls xfs_file_open and then performs
the readahead for block 0.

David Chinner 978b723712 [XFS] Fix fsync() b0rkage.
xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.

Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

Christoph Hellwig 051e7cd44a [XFS] use filldir internally
Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).

This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.

This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.

Nick Piggin d0217ac04c mm: fault feedback #1
Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
 FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).

This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.

struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.

The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nick Piggin 54cb8821de mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)
Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

Nick Piggin d00806b183 mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappings
Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.

Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.

The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
before it can be discarded from the pagecache.  Between shooting down ptes to
a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.

The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
file's i_size, and its truncate_count.

Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
truncate_count is actually visible).

Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size.  do_no_page
can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
progress (as it is when it is outside i_size).  The end result is that
dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data.  Valid mappings to the same
place will see a different page.

Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
a page->flags bit.  He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
that was initially considered too heavyweight.  However, it is not a global or
per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
performance hit.  Scalability is not an issue.

This patch implements this latter approach.  ->nopage implementations return
with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
so).  do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
completely.  invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
holding the lock).

This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

David Chinner 4f57dbc6b5 [XFS] Implement ->page_mkwrite in XFS.
Hook XFS up to ->page_mkwrite to ensure that we know about mmap pages
being written to. This allows use to do correct delayed allocation and
ENOSPC checking as well as remap unwritten extents so that they get
converted correctly during writeback. This is done via the generic
block_page_mkwrite code.

Christoph Hellwig fbf3ce8d8e [XFS] XFS should not be looking at filp reference counts
A check for file_count is always a bad idea. Linux has the ->release
method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the
very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of a
reference to a file struct.

This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of simply
doing the page flushing from ->release.

David Chinner 7989cb8ef5 [XFS] Keep stack usage down for 4k stacks by using noinline.
gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which
increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from
occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition.

Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.

Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.
