mm: dcache: use kmem_cache_alloc_lru() to allocate dentry

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

Like inode cache, the dentry will also be added to its memcg list_lru.  So
replace kmem_cache_alloc() with kmem_cache_alloc_lru() to allocate dentry.

fs: move dcache sysctls to its own file

2022-01-22T06:33:36+00:00

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the dcache sysctl clutter out of kernel/sysctl.c.  This is a
small one-off entry, perhaps later we can simplify this representation,
but for now we use the helpers we have.  We won't know how we can
simplify this further untl we're fully done with the cleanup.

Merge branch 'work.audit' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2021-02-22T21:05:30+00:00

Pull RCU-safe common_lsm_audit() from Al Viro:
 "Make common_lsm_audit() non-blocking and usable from RCU pathwalk
  context.

  We don't really need to grab/drop dentry in there - rcu_read_lock() is
  enough. There's a couple of followups using that to simplify the
  logics in selinux, but those hadn't soaked in -next yet, so they'll
  have to go in next window"

fs: fix kernel-doc markups

2021-01-21T21:06:00+00:00

Two markups are at the wrong place. Kernel-doc only
support having the comment just before the identifier.

Also, some identifiers have different names between their
prototypes and the kernel-doc markup.

new helper: d_find_alias_rcu()

2021-01-16T20:12:06+00:00

similar to d_find_alias(inode), except that
	* the caller must be holding rcu_read_lock()
	* inode must not be freed until matching rcu_read_unlock()
	* result is *NOT* pinned and can only be dereferenced until
the matching rcu_read_unlock().

fs: Kill DCACHE_DONTCACHE dentry even if DCACHE_REFERENCED is set

2020-12-10T22:33:17+00:00

If DCACHE_REFERENCED is set, fast_dput() will return true, and then
retain_dentry() have no chance to check DCACHE_DONTCACHE. As a result,
the dentry won't be killed and the corresponding inode can't be evicted.
In the following example, the DAX policy can't take effects unless we
do a drop_caches manually.

  # DCACHE_LRU_LIST will be set
  echo abcdefg > test.txt

  # DCACHE_REFERENCED will be set and DCACHE_DONTCACHE can't do anything
  xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' test.txt

  # Drop caches to make DAX changing take effects
  echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

What this patch does is preventing fast_dput() from returning true if
DCACHE_DONTCACHE is set. Then retain_dentry() will detect the
DCACHE_DONTCACHE and will return false. As a result, the dentry will be
killed and the inode will be evicted. In this way, if we change per-file
DAX policy, it will take effects automatically after this file is closed
by all processes.

I also add some comments to make the code more clear.

vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock

2020-07-29T14:14:27+00:00

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.

Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.

If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.
