2014-02-13mm, oom: base root bonus on current usageDavid Rientjes1-2/+2
commit 778c14affaf94a9e4953179d3e13a544ccce7707 upstream. A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

2013-04-26SUNRPC: Use gssproxy upcall for server RPCGSS authentication.Simo Sorce2-0/+93
The main advantge of this new upcall mechanism is that it can handle big tickets as seen in Kerberos implementations where tickets carry authorization data like the MS-PAC buffer with AD or the Posix Authorization Data being discussed in IETF on the krbwg working group. The Gssproxy program is used to perform the accept_sec_context call on the kernel's behalf. The code is changed to also pass the input buffer straight to upcall mechanism to avoid allocating and copying many pages as tokens can be as big (potentially more in future) as 64KiB.

2013-04-09ext4: introduce reserved spaceLukas Czerner1-0/+11
Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree. However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate any space. Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved. So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can not assure that we do not under reserve. And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2% or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC. The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system. Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident. The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with the given inode. This usercode program is a simple example of the usage: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; int err; if ( argc != 2 ) { printf("usage: ext4-swap-boot-inode FILE-TO-SWAP\n"); exit(1); } fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY); if ( fd < 0 ) { perror("open"); exit(1); } err = ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT); if ( err < 0 ) { perror("ioctl"); exit(1); } close(fd); exit(0); } [ Modified by Theodore Ts'o to fix a number of bugs in the original code.] Signed-off-by: Dr. Tilmann Bubeck <t.bubeck@reinform.de> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2013-02-26vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry opJeff Layton3-2/+28
The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

2012-12-20FS-Cache: Provide proper invalidationDavid Howells3-16/+65
Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring. Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

2012-12-20FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accountingDavid Howells2-2/+26
Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

2012-12-17/proc/pid/status: add "Seccomp" fieldKees Cook1-0/+2
It is currently impossible to examine the state of seccomp for a given process. While attaching with gdb and attempting "call prctl(PR_GET_SECCOMP,...)" will work with some situations, it is not reliable. If the process is in seccomp mode 1, this query will kill the process (prctl not allowed), if the process is in mode 2 with prctl not allowed, it will similarly be killed, and in weird cases, if prctl is filtered to return errno 0, it can look like seccomp is disabled. When reviewing the state of running processes, there should be a way to externally examine the seccomp mode. ("Did this build of Chrome end up using seccomp?" "Did my distro ship ssh with seccomp enabled?") This adds the "Seccomp" line to /proc/$pid/status.

2012-12-17procfs: add VmFlags field in smaps outputCyrill Gorcunov1-2/+38
During c/r sessions we've found that there is no way at the moment to fetch some VMA associated flags, such as mlock() and madvise(). This leads us to a problem -- we don't know if we should call for mlock() and/or madvise() after restore on the vma area we're bringing back to life. This patch intorduces a new field into "smaps" output called VmFlags, where all set flags associated with the particular VMA is shown as two letter mnemonics. [ Strictly speaking for c/r we only need mlock/madvise bits but it has been said that providing just a few flags looks somehow inconsistent. So all flags are here now. ] This feature is made available on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=n kernels, as other applications may start to use these fields. The data is encoded in a somewhat awkward two letters mnemonic form, to encourage userspace to be prepared for fields being added or removed in the future.

2012-12-17fat: provide option for setting timezone offsetJan Kara1-0/+9
So far FAT either offsets time stamps by sys_tz.minuteswest or leaves them as they are (when tz=UTC mount option is used). However in some cases it is useful if one can specify time stamp offset on his own (e.g. when time zone of the camera connected is different from time zone of the computer, or when HW clock is in UTC and thus sys_tz.minuteswest == 0). So provide a mount option time_offset= which allows user to specify offset in minutes that should be applied to time stamps on the filesystem. akpm: this code would work incorrectly when used via `mount -o remount', because cached inodes would not be updated. But fatfs's fat_remount() is basically a no-op anyway.

2012-12-10ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTRTao Ma1-6/+3
Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us. And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr, and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this config option in the same release. [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is effectively always enabled. -- tytso ] Cc: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-11-26nfsd4: delay filling in write iovec array till after xdr decodingJ. Bruce Fields1-2/+2
Our server rejects compounds containing more than one write operation. It's unclear whether this is really permitted by the spec; with 4.0, it's possibly OK, with 4.1 (which has clearer limits on compound parameters), it's probably not OK. No client that we're aware of has ever done this, but in theory it could be useful. The source of the limitation: we need an array of iovecs to pass to the write operation. In the worst case that array of iovecs could have hundreds of elements (the maximum rwsize divided by the page size), so it's too big to put on the stack, or in each compound op. So we instead keep a single such array in the compound argument. We fill in that array at the time we decode the xdr operation. But we decode every op in the compound before executing any of them. So once we've used that array we can't decode another write. If we instead delay filling in that array till the time we actually perform the write, we can reuse it. Another option might be to switch to decoding compound ops one at a time. I considered doing that, but it has a number of other side effects, and I'd rather fix just this one problem for now.

Including patches to detect network trunking in both NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 - pNFS block updates to optimise LAYOUTGET calls." * tag 'nfs-for-3.7-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (113 commits) pnfsblock: cleanup nfs4_blkdev_get NFS41: send real read size in layoutget NFS41: send real write size in layoutget NFS: track direct IO left bytes NFSv4.1: Cleanup ugliness in pnfs_layoutgets_blocked() NFSv4.1: Ensure that the layout sequence id stays 'close' to the current NFSv4.1: Deal with seqid wraparound in the pNFS return-on-close code NFSv4 set open access operation call flag in nfs4_init_opendata_res NFSv4.1: Remove the dependency on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL NFSv4 reduce attribute requests for open reclaim NFSv4: nfs4_open_done first must check that GETATTR decoded a file type NFSv4.1: Deal with wraparound when updating the layout "barrier" seqid NFSv4.1: Deal with wraparound issues when updating the layout stateid NFSv4.1: Always set the layout stateid if this is the first layoutget NFSv4.1: Fix another refcount issue in pnfs_find_alloc_layout NFSv4: don't put ACCESS in OPEN compound if O_EXCL NFSv4: don't check MAY_WRITE access bit in OPEN NFS: Set key construction data for the legacy upcall NFSv4.1: don't do two EXCHANGE_IDs on mount NFS: nfs41_walk_client_list(): re-lock before iterating ...
2012-10-09nfs: disintegrate UAPI for nfsJ. Bruce Fields6-25/+51
This is to complete part of the Userspace API (UAPI) disintegration for which the preparatory patches were pulled recently. After these patches, userspace headers will be segregated into: include/uapi/linux/.../foo.h for the userspace interface stuff, and: include/linux/.../foo.h for the strictly kernel internal stuff.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4 Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing using the meta_bg feature. This allows us to resize file systems which are greater than 16TB. In addition, the speed of online resizing has been improved in general. We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks, in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good work by Dmitry Monakhov. There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have submitted fixes for the first time." * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (69 commits) ext4: fix ext4_flush_completed_IO wait semantics ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode ext4: fix ext_remove_space for punch_hole case ext4: punch_hole should wait for DIO writers ext4: serialize truncate with owerwrite DIO workers ext4: endless truncate due to nonlocked dio readers ext4: serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate ext4: serialize dio nonlocked reads with defrag workers ext4: completed_io locking cleanup ext4: fix unwritten counter leakage ext4: give i_aiodio_unwritten a more appropriate name ext4: ext4_inode_info diet ext4: convert to use leXX_add_cpu() ext4: ext4_bread usage audit fs: reserve fallocate flag codepoint ext4: remove redundant offset check in mext_check_arguments() ext4: don't clear orphan list on ro mount with errors jbd2: fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction credits ext4: release donor reference when EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl fails ext4: enable FITRIM ioctl on bigalloc file system ...

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov. 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman. 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko. 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar. 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others. 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel Borkmann. 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around. Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user namespace changes. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.
