Erez Zadok [Thu, 27 Dec 2007 18:35:36 +0000 (13:35 -0500)]
Unionfs: prevent false lockdep warnings in stacking

A stackable file system like unionfs often performs an operation on a lower
file system, by calling a vfs_* method, having been called possibly by the
very same method from the VFS.  Both calls to the vfs_* method grab a lock
in the same lock class, and hence lockdep complains.  This warning is a
false positive in instances where unionfs only calls the vfs_* method on
lower objects; there's a strict lock ordering here: upper objects first,
then lower objects.

We want to prevent these false positives so that lockdep will not shutdown
so it'd still be able to warn us about potentially true locking problems.
So, we temporarily turn off lockdep ONLY AROUND the calls to vfs methods to
which we pass lower objects, and only for those instances where lockdep
complained.  While this solution may seem unclean, it is not without
precedent: other places in the kernel also do similar temporary disabling,
of course after carefully having checked that it is the right thing to do.

In the long run, lockdep needs to be taught how to handle about stacking.
Then this patch can be removed.  It is likely that such lockdep-stacking
support will do essentially the same as this patch: consider the same
ordering (upper then lower) and consider upper vs. lower locks to be in
different classes.

before notifying change to the lower level, to eliminate those dirty pages
beyond new eof which otherwise drift down to the lower level's writepage,
writing beyond its eof (and later uncovered when the file is expanded).

the upper level's s_maxbytes is more limiting than the lower level's.

13 years agoUnionfs: mmap fixes
Hugh Dickins [Tue, 25 Dec 2007 20:31:13 +0000 (15:31 -0500)]
Unionfs: mmap fixes

Remove !mapping_cap_writeback_dirty shortcircuit from unionfs_writepages.

It was introduced to avoid the stray AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE coming from
shmem_writepage; but that has since been fixed in shmem_writepage and in
write_cache_pages.  It stayed because it looked like a good optimization,
not to waste time calling down to tmpfs when that would serve no purpose.

But in fact this optimization causes hangs when running LTP with unionfs
over tmpfs.  The problem is that the test comes at the wrong level: unionfs
has already declared in its default_backing_dev_info that it's playing by
cap_writeback_dirty rules.  If it does nothing here in its writepages, its
dirty pages accumulate and choke the system.  What's needed is to carry on
down and let its pages be cleaned while in turn they dirty the lower level.

And this now has an additional benefit for tmpfs, that a sync or pdflush
pushes these pages down to shmem_writepage, letting it match the filepage
coming from unionfs with the swap which may have been allocated earlier,
so it can free the duplication sooner than waiting for further pressure.

Remove unnecessary locking/code from prepare_write.  Handle if no lower
inodes in writepage.

Unionfs: avoid using drop_pagecache_sb in remount

Exporting drop_pagecache_sb to modules is somewhat risky because one cannot
sleep inside invalidate_mapping_pages.  This could cause a lot of latency in
the pre-emption code.  So don't export this symbol to minimize the risk that
others will use it.

Instead, unionfs will try to directly invalidate as many pages it can from
the unionfs_remount code.  Invalidating those inode pages is not strictly
required, but helpful in encouraging a revalidation of inodes sooner than
waiting for individual f/s ops to access the union.  Since a remount is
already an expensive but rare operation, this inode pages invalidation
shouldn't add too much overhead.
