* vfs: Add a mount flag to lock read only bind mountsEric W. Biederman2013-03-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a read-only bind mount is copied from mount namespace in a higher privileged user namespace to a mount namespace in a lesser privileged user namespace, it should not be possible to remove the the read-only restriction. Add a MNT_LOCK_READONLY mount flag to indicate that a mount must remain read-only. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

* sanitize vfsmount refcounting changesAl Viro2011-01-161-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm ones. Accounting rules for longterm count: * 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt * 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt * 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns * decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm. If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement percpu mnt_count. Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count. For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm(); namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where we need to manipulate mnt_longterm. Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need to care about two kinds of references, etc. And we get to keep the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

* Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()David Howells2011-01-151-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself. follow_automount() will then do the addition. This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer. The problem with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty. To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a refcount of (at least) 2. One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally. In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it. d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if this mechanism is to be used. The vfsmount will be unlinked from the expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails. This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount flags from the parent vfsmount.

* fs: scale mntget/mntputNick Piggin2011-01-071-36/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

* fs: introduce mnt_clone_writenpiggin@suse.de2009-06-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the first patch. Before: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 After: avg = 453.12 std = 9.58257 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence) It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write if the file is open for write. After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write).

* fs: mnt_want_write speedupnpiggin@suse.de2009-06-111-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about 8%. lat_mmap is set up basically to mmap a 64MB file on tmpfs, fault in its pages, then unmap it. A microbenchmark yes, but it exercises some important paths in the mm. Before: avg = 501.9 std = 14.7773 After: avg = 462.286 std = 5.46106 (50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence, but there is quite a bit of variation there still) It does this by removing the complex per-cpu locking and counter-cache and replaces it with a percpu counter in struct vfsmount. This makes the code much simpler, and avoids spinlocks (although the msync is still pretty costly, unfortunately). It results in about 900 bytes smaller code too. It does increase the size of a vfsmount, however. It should also give a speedup on large systems if CPUs are frequently operating on different mounts (because the existing scheme has to operate on an atomic in the struct vfsmount when switching between mounts). But I'm most interested in the single threaded path performance for the moment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a unique ID to each peer group using the IDR infrastructure. The identifiers are reused after the peer group dissolves. The IDR structures are protected by holding namepspace_sem for write while allocating or deallocating IDs. IDs are allocated when a previously unshared vfsmount becomes the first member of a peer group. When a new member is added to an existing group, the ID is copied from one of the old members. IDs are freed when the last member of a peer group is unshared. Setting the MNT_SHARED flag on members of a subtree is done as a separate step, after all the IDs have been allocated. This way an allocation failure can be cleaned up easilty, without affecting the propagation state. Based on design sketch by Al Viro.

* [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: track numbers of writers to mountsDave Hansen2008-04-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the real meat of the entire series. It actually implements the tracking of the number of writers to a mount. However, it causes scalability problems because there can be hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files on the same mnt at the same time. Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive scalaing problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended. This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable. All want/drop operations are local to a cpu as long that cpu operates on the same mount, and there are no writer count imbalances. Writer count imbalances happen when a write is taken on one cpu, and released on another, like when an open/close pair is performed on two Upon a remount,ro request, all of the data from the percpu variables is collected (expensive, but very rare) and we determine if there are any outstanding writers to the mount. I've written a little benchmark to sit in a loop for a couple of seconds in several cpus in parallel doing open/write/close loops. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/openbench.c The code in here is a a worst-possible case for this patch. It does opens on a _pair_ of files in two different mounts in parallel. This should cause my code to lose its "operate on the same mount" optimization completely. This worst-case scenario causes a 3% degredation in the benchmark. I could probably get rid of even this 3%, but it would be more complex than what I have here, and I think this is getting into acceptable territory. In practice, I expect writing more than 3 bytes to a file, as well as disk I/O to mask any effects that this has. (To get rid of that 3%, we could have an #defined number of mounts in the percpu variable. So, instead of a CPU getting operate only on percpu data when it accesses only one mount, it could stay on percpu data when it only accesses N or fewer mounts.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename 'struct namespace' to 'struct mnt_namespace' to avoid confusion with other namespaces being developped for the containers : pid, uts, ipc, etc. 'namespace' variables and attributes are also renamed to 'mnt_ns' Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Cc: Eric W.

| * [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells2006-06-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

* | VFS: Add shrink_submounts()Trond Myklebust2006-06-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow a submount to be marked as being 'shrinkable' by means of the vfsmount->mnt_flags, and then add a function 'shrink_submounts()' which attempts to recursively unmount these submounts. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* | VFS: Add GPL_EXPORTED function vfs_kern_mount()Trond Myklebust2006-06-091-0/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount interface must be registered in the global filesystem list. vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit parameter in order to overcome this limitation.
