2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: fix "reiserfs lock" / "inode mutex" lock inversion ↵Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
dependency reiserfs_xattr_init is called with the reiserfs write lock held, but if the ".reiserfs_priv" entry is not created, we take the superblock root directory inode mutex until .reiserfs_priv is created. This creates a lock dependency inversion against other sites such as reiserfs_file_release() which takes an inode mutex and the reiserfs lock after.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: move the concurrent tree accesses checks per superblockFrederic Weisbecker5-24/+18
When do_balance() balances the tree, a trick is performed to provide the ability for other tree writers/readers to check whether do_balance() is executing concurrently (requires CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK). This is done to protect concurrent accesses to the tree. The trick is the following: When do_balance is called, a unique global variable called cur_tb takes a pointer to the current tree to be rebalanced. Once do_balance finishes its work, cur_tb takes the NULL value. Then, concurrent tree readers/writers just have to check the value of cur_tb to ensure do_balance isn't executing concurrently. If it is, then it proves that schedule() occured on do_balance(), which then relaxed the bkl that protected the tree. Now that the bkl has be turned into a mutex, this check is still fine even though do_balance() becomes preemptible: the write lock will not be automatically released on schedule(), so the tree is still protected. But this is only fine if we have a single reiserfs mountpoint. Indeed, because the bkl is a global lock, it didn't allowed concurrent executions between a tree reader/writer in a mount point and a do_balance() on another tree from another mountpoint. So assuming all these readers/writers weren't supposed to be reentrant, the current check now sometimes detect false positives with the current per-superblock mutex which allows this reentrancy. This patch keeps the concurrent tree accesses check but moves it per superblock, so that only trees from a same mount point are checked to be not accessed concurrently.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: acquire the inode mutex safelyFrederic Weisbecker3-36/+37
While searching a pathname, an inode mutex can be acquired in do_lookup() which calls reiserfs_lookup() which in turn acquires the write lock. On the other side reiserfs_fill_super() can acquire the write_lock and then call reiserfs_lookup_privroot() which can acquire an inode mutex (the root of the mount point). So we theoretically risk an AB - BA lock inversion that could lead to a deadlock. As for other lock dependencies found since the bkl to mutex conversion, the fix is to use reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() which drops the lock dependency to the write lock.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: unlock only when needed in search_by_keyFrederic Weisbecker1-8/+34
search_by_key() is the site which most requires the lock. This is mostly because it is a very central function and also because it releases/reaqcuires the write lock at least once each time it is called. Such release/reacquire creates a lot of contention in this place and also opens more the window which let another thread changing the tree. When it happens, the current path searching over the tree must be retried from the beggining (the root) which is a wasteful and time consuming recovery. This patch factorizes two release/reacquire sequences: - reading leaf nodes blocks - reading current block The latter immediately follows the former. The whole sequence is safe as a single unlocked section because we check just after if the tree has changed during these operations.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: use mutex_lock in reiserfs_mutex_lock_safeFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+3
reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() is a hack to avoid any dependency between an internal reiserfs mutex and the write lock, it has been proposed to follow the old bkl logic. The code does the following: while (!mutex_trylock(m)) { reiserfs_write_unlock(s); schedule(); reiserfs_write_lock(s); } It then imitate the implicit behaviour of the lock when it was a Bkl and hadn't such dependency: mutex_lock(m) { if (fastpath) let's go else { wait_for_mutex() { schedule() { unlock_kernel() reacquire_lock_kernel() } } } } The problem is that by using such explicit schedule(), we don't benefit of the adaptive mutex spinning on owner. The logic in use now is: reiserfs_write_unlock(s); mutex_lock(m); // -> possible adaptive spinning reiserfs_write_lock(s); [ Impact: restore the use of adaptive spinning mutexes in reiserfs ] Cc: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Alexander Beregalov <a.beregalov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

reiserfs_write_end() is a hot path in reiserfs. We have two wasteful write lock lock/release inside that can be gathered without changing the code logic.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: reduce number of contentions in search_by_key()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+11
search_by_key() is a central function in reiserfs which searches the patch in the fs tree from the root to a node given its key. It is the function that is most requesting the write lock because it's a path very often used. Also we forget to release the lock while reading the next tree node, making us holding the lock in a wasteful way. Then we release the lock while reading the current node and its childs, all-in-one. It should be safe because we have a reference to these blocks and even if we read a block that will be concurrently changed, we have an fs_changed check later that will make us retry the path from the root.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: don't hold the write recursively in reiserfs_lookup()Frederic Weisbecker1-3/+10
The write lock can be acquired recursively in reiserfs_lookup(). But we may want to *really* release the lock before possible rescheduling from a reiserfs_lookup() callee. Hence we want to only acquire the lock once (ie: not recursively).

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: lock only once on reiserfs_get_block()Frederic Weisbecker1-8/+11
reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might be acquired recursively. It's a particular problem because this function is called very often. It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time. Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have locked in more than one depth. The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really* released before schedule(). Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not create wasteful numerous contentions.

2009-09-14kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: conditionaly release the write lock on fs_changed()Frederic Weisbecker1-3/+1
The goal of fs_changed() is to check whether the tree changed during a schedule(). This is a BKL legacy. A recent patch added an explicit unconditional release/reacquire of the write lock around the cond_resched() called inside fs_changed. But it's wasteful to unconditionally do that, we are creating superfluous lock contention in !TIF_NEED_RESCHED case. This patch manage that by calling reiserfs_cond_resched() from fs_changed() which only releases the lock if we are going to reschedule.

2009-09-14kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: add reiserfs_cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker1-0/+13
Usually, when we call cond_resched(), we want the write lock to be released and then reacquired once we return from scheduling. Not only does it follow the previous bkl based locking scheme, but it also let other waiters to get the lock. But if we aren't going to reschedule(), such as in !TIF_NEED_RESCHED case, it's useless to release the lock. Worse, if we release and reacquire the lock whereas it is not needed, we create useless contentions. Also if someone takes the lock while we are modifying or reading the tree, there are good chances we'll have to retry our operation, eg if the block we were seeeking has moved. So this patch introduces a helper which only unlock the write lock if we are going to schedule.

get_neighbors() is used to get the left and/or right blocks against a given one in order to balance a tree. sb_bread() is used to read the buffer of these neighors blocks and while it waits for this operation, it might sleep. The bkl was released at this point, and then we can also release the write lock before calling sb_bread(). This is safe because if the filesystem is changed after this lock release, the function returns REPEAT_SEARCH (aka SCHEDULE_OCCURRED in the function header comments) in order to repeat the neighbhor research.

2009-09-14kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: release write lock while rescheduling on ↵Frederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
prepare_for_delete_or_cut() prepare_for_delete_or_cut() can process several types of items, including indirect items, ie: items which contain no file data but pointers to unformatted nodes scattering the datas of a file. In this case it has to zero out these pointers to block numbers of unformatted nodes and release the bitmap from these block numbers. It can take some time, so a rescheduling() is performed between each block processed. We can safely release the write lock while rescheduling(), like the bkl did, because the code checks just after if the item has moved after sleeping.

2009-09-14kill-the-BKL/reiserfs: release write lock on fs_changed()Frederic Weisbecker1-1/+7
fs_changed() is a macro used by reiserfs to check whether its tree has been rebalanced. It has been designed to check parallel changes on the tree after calling a sleeping function, which released the Bkl. fs_changed() also calls cond_resched(), so that if rescheduling is needed, we are in the best place to do that, since we check if the tree has changed just after (because of the bkl release on schedule()). Even if we are not anymore using the Bkl, we still want to release the lock while we reschedule, so that other waiters for the lock can acquire it safely, because of the following __fs_changed() check.

Impact: fix a deadlock reiserfs_dirty_inode() is the super_operations::dirty_inode() callback of reiserfs. It can be called from different contexts where the write lock can be already held. But this function also grab the write lock (possibly recursively). Subsequent release of the lock before sleep will actually not release the lock if the caller of mark_inode_dirty() (which in turn calls reiserfs_dirty_inode()) already owns the lock. A typical case: reiserfs_write_end() { acquire_write_lock() mark_inode_dirty() { reiserfs_dirty_inode() { reacquire_write_lock() { journal_begin() { do_journal_begin_r() { /* * fail to release, still * one depth of lock */ release_write_lock() reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() { wait_event() The event is usually provided by something which needs the write lock but it hasn't been released.

Impact: fix a deadlock reiserfs_truncate_file() can be called from multiple context where the write lock can be already hold or not. This function also acquire (possibly recursively) the write lock.

A typical case is: reiserfs_file_release { acquire_the_lock() reiserfs_truncate_file() reacquire_the_lock() journal_begin() { do_journal_begin_r() { reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() { /* * Not released because still one * depth owned */ release_lock() wait_for_event() At this stage the event never happen because the one which provides it needs the write lock.

Sometimes we don't want to recursively hold the per superblock write lock because we want to be sure it is actually released when we come to sleep. This patch introduces the necessary tools for that. reiserfs_write_lock_once() does the same job than reiserfs_write_lock() except that it won't try to acquire recursively the lock if the current task already owns it.

2009-09-14reiserfs: kill-the-BKLFrederic Weisbecker13-49/+261
This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from reiserfs and is intended. It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from concurrent write accesses on the filesystem. Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl: - It can be acqquired recursively by a same task - It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex. - We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks of the code. - We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed (schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and reacquire our new lock explicitly. Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected starvations or deadlocks. So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the bkl. For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the superblock information structure. The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers. The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(), wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some. Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue (aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads. The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks. This is fine with the bkl: T1 T2 lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) unlock_kernel() // do something lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() (and then unlock_kernel()) lock_kernel() mutex_unlock(A) .... This is not fine with a mutex: T1 T2 mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) mutex_unlock(write) // do something mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2 deadlock The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another simulation of the bkl behaviour. The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held, according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking. Those are: - reiserfs_remount - reiserfs_fill_super - reiserfs_put_super Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks. But now we must take care of that with the new locking. After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now). On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

2009-09-07drm/radeon/kms: add LTE/GTE discard + rv515 two sided stencil register.Dave Airlie5-69/+70
This adds some rv350+ register for LTE/GTE discard, and enables the rv515 two sided stencil register. It also disables the DEPTHXY_OFFSET register which can be used to workaround the CS checker. Moves rs690 to proper place in rs600 and uses correct table on rs600. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
2009-09-07IMA: update ima_counts_putMimi Zohar2-8/+20
- As ima_counts_put() may be called after the inode has been freed, verify that the inode is not NULL, before dereferencing it. - Maintain the IMA file counters in may_open() properly, decrementing any counter increments on subsequent errors.
