mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.

Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.

In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
  - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
    on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
    downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
  - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
    previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
    during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
    onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
    to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
    node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
    could be ugly.
  - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
    of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
  - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
    sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
    of a specific node.

Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

mm: write_cache_pages integrity fix

In write_cache_pages, nr_to_write is heeded even for data-integrity syncs,
so the function will return success after writing out nr_to_write pages,
even if that was not sufficient to guarantee data integrity.

The callers tend to set it to values that could break data interity
semantics easily in practice.  For example, nr_to_write can be set to
mapping->nr_pages * 2, however if a file has a single, dirty page, then
fsync is called, subsequent pages might be concurrently added and dirtied,
then write_cache_pages might writeout two of these newly dirty pages,
while not writing out the old page that should have been written out.

Fix this by ignoring nr_to_write if it is a data integrity sync.

This is a data integrity bug.

The reason this has been done in the past is to avoid stalling sync
operations behind page dirtiers.

 "If a file has one dirty page at offset 1000000000000000 then someone
  does an fsync() and someone else gets in first and starts madly writing
  pages at offset 0, we want to write that page at 1000000000000000.
  Somehow."

What we do today is return success after an arbitrary amount of pages are
written, whether or not we have provided the data-integrity semantics that
the caller has asked for.  Even this doesn't actually fix all stall cases
completely: in the above situation, if the file has a huge number of pages
in pagecache (but not dirty), then mapping->nrpages is going to be huge,
even if pages are being dirtied.

This change does indeed make the possibility of long stalls lager, and
that's not a good thing, but lying about data integrity is even worse.  We
have to either perform the sync, or return -ELINUXISLAME so at least the
caller knows what has happened.

There are subsequent competing approaches in the works to solve the stall
problems properly, without compromising data integrity.

We'd like to break out of the loop early in many situations, however the

don't process all pages up to the final page.

Currently the code mostly keeps writeback_index reasonable and hacked
around this by not breaking out of the loop or writing pages outside the
range in these cases.  Keep track of a real "done index" that enables us
to terminate the loop in a much more flexible manner.

Needed by the subsequent patch to preserve writepage errors, and then
further patches to break out of the loop early for other reasons.  However
there are no functional changes with this patch alone.

mm: write_cache_pages cyclic fix

In write_cache_pages, scanned == 1 is supposed to mean that cyclic
writeback has circled through zero, thus we should not circle again.
However it gets set to 1 after the first successful pagevec lookup.  This
leads to cases where not enough data gets written.

Counterexample: file with first 10 pages dirty, writeback_index == 5,
nr_to_write == 10.  Then the 5 last pages will be found, and scanned will
be set to 1, after writing those out, we will not cycle back to get the
first 5.

Rework this logic, now we'll always cycle unless we started off from index
0.  When cycling, only write out as far as 1 page before the start page
from the first cycle (so we don't write parts of the file twice).

Doing a mark_page_accessed at fault-time, then doing SetPageReferenced at

mark_page_accessed is supposed to be roughly the equivalent of a young pte
for unmapped references. Unfortunately it doesn't come with any context:
after being called, reclaim doesn't know who or why the page was touched.

So calling mark_page_accessed not only adds extra lru or PG_referenced
manipulations for pages that are already going to have pte_young ptes anyway,
but it also adds these references which are difficult to work with from the
context of vma specific references (eg. MADV_SEQUENTIAL pte_young may not
wish to contribute to the page being referenced).

Then, simply doing SetPageReferenced when zapping a pte and finding it is
young, is not a really good solution either. SetPageReferenced does not
correctly promote the page to the active list for example. So after removing
mark_page_accessed from the fault path, several mmap()+touch+munmap() would

dm: add name and uuid to sysfs

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.

This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)

The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.

During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.

Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.

15 years agodm table: rework reference counting
Mikulas Patocka [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 03:05:10 +0000 (03:05 +0000)]
dm table: rework reference counting

Rework table reference counting.

The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is
dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called.
Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other
kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all).
If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table
destructor is called from almost random kernel code.

This leads to various problems:
* dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the
  destructor, which calls some sleeping function.
* the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the
  same process.
* stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table
  constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful
  return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing
  of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers.

The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be
called only at predetermined places.

The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map
or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted
in table->holders.  A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions
is used for table creation/destruction.

Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair
of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it.

When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to
reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor.  We use active waiting with
msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years)
and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't
care if it takes one tick more or not.

This way, the destructor is called only at specific points
(dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy
destruction can't happen.

Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested().

igb: fix anoying type mismatch warning on rx/tx queue sizing

When using "min()", the types of both sides should match.  With the cpu

15 years agomm lockless pagecache barrier fix
Nick Piggin [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 02:05:50 +0000 (03:05 +0100)]
mm lockless pagecache barrier fix

An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
the gang lookup functions.

This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.

Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.

Assembly of find_get_pages,
before:
.L220:
        movq    (%rbx), %rax    #* ivtmp.1162, tmp82
        movq    (%rax), %rdi    #, prephitmp.1149
.L218:

        movl    8(%rdi), %esi   # <variable>._count.counter, c
        testl   %esi, %esi      # c
        je      .L218   #,

after:
.L212:
        movq    (%rbx), %rax    #* ivtmp.1109, tmp81
        movq    (%rax), %rdi    #, ret
        testb   $1, %dil        #, ret

        testl   %esi, %esi      # c
        je      .L212   #,

(notice the obvious infinite loop in the first example, if page->count remains 0)

inotify: fix type errors in interfaces

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.

For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' .  That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:

struct inotify_event {
        __s32           wd;             /* watch descriptor */
        __u32           mask;           /* watch mask */
        __u32           cookie;         /* cookie to synchronize two events */
        __u32           len;            /* length (including nulls) of name */
        char            name[0];        /* stub for possible name */
};

Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,

to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

Notes on the fsync callers:

 - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
    lower file
 - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
 - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
   taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
   backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
   the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
   not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op

This is pointless however, as ocfs2_dlm_lvb() returns void *.

We must check whether ocfs2 volume support xattr in init_security,
if not support xattr and security is enable, would cause failure of mknod.

In xattr set, we should always update ctime if the operation goes
sucessfully. The old one mistakenly put it in ocfs2_xattr_set_entry
which is only called when we set xattr in inode or xattr block. The
side benefit is that it resolve the bug 1052 since in that scenario,
ocfs2_calc_xattr_set_need only calc out the xattr set credits while
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry update the inode also which isn't concerned with
the process of xattr set.
