fs/lock: Rearrange ops in flock syscall.

2022-07-18T14:01:47+00:00

The previous patch added flock_translate_cmd() in flock syscall.
The test and the other one for LOCK_MAND do not depend on struct
fd and are cheaper, so we can put them at the top and defer
fdget() after that.

Also, we can remove the unlock variable and use type instead.
While at it, we fix this checkpatch error.

  CHECK: spaces preferred around that '|' (ctx:VxV)
  #45: FILE: fs/locks.c:2099:
  +	if (type != F_UNLCK && !(f.file->f_mode & (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)))
   	                                                     ^

Finally, we can move the can_sleep part just before we use it.

fs/lock: Don't allocate file_lock in flock_make_lock().

2022-07-18T14:01:41+00:00

Two functions, flock syscall and locks_remove_flock(), call
flock_make_lock().  It allocates struct file_lock from slab
cache if its argument fl is NULL.

When we call flock syscall, we pass NULL to allocate memory
for struct file_lock.  However, we always free it at the end
by locks_free_lock().  We need not allocate it and instead
should use a local variable as locks_remove_flock() does.

Also, the validation for flock_translate_cmd() is not necessary
for locks_remove_flock().  So we move the part to flock syscall
and make flock_make_lock() return nothing.

fs/lock: add 2 callbacks to lock_manager_operations to resolve conflict

2022-05-19T16:25:39+00:00

Add 2 new callbacks, lm_lock_expirable and lm_expire_lock, to
lock_manager_operations to allow the lock manager to take appropriate
action to resolve the lock conflict if possible.

A new field, lm_mod_owner, is also added to lock_manager_operations.
The lm_mod_owner is used by the fs/lock code to make sure the lock
manager module such as nfsd, is not freed while lock conflict is being
resolved.

lm_lock_expirable checks and returns true to indicate that the lock
conflict can be resolved else return false. This callback must be
called with the flc_lock held so it can not block.

lm_expire_lock is called to resolve the lock conflict if the returned
value from lm_lock_expirable is true. This callback is called without
the flc_lock held since it's allowed to block. Upon returning from
this callback, the lock conflict should be resolved and the caller is
expected to restart the conflict check from the beginnning of the list.

Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to
resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client
(client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns
the lock.

fs: move locking sysctls where they are used

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.

The locking fs sysctls are only used on fs/locks.c, so move them there.

locks: remove changelog comments

2021-10-19T18:11:39+00:00

This is only of historical interest, and anyone interested in the
history can dig out an old version of locks.c from from git.

Triggered by the observation that it references the now-removed
Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.rst.

locks: remove LOCK_MAND flock lock support

2021-09-10T20:21:44+00:00

As best I can tell, the logic for these has been broken for a long time
(at least before the move to git), such that they never conflict with
anything. Also, nothing checks for these flags and prevented opens or
read/write behavior on the files. They don't seem to do anything.

Given that, we can rip these symbols out of the kernel, and just make
flock(2) return 0 when LOCK_MAND is set in order to preserve existing
behavior.

Revert "memcg: enable accounting for file lock caches"

2021-09-07T18:21:48+00:00

This reverts commit 0f12156dff2862ac54235fc72703f18770769042.

The kernel test robot reports a sizeable performance regression for this
commit, and while it clearly does the rigth thing in theory, we'll need
to look at just how to avoid or minimize the performance overhead of the
memcg accounting.

People already have suggestions on how to do that, but it's "future
work".

So revert it for now.

memcg: enable accounting for file lock caches

2021-09-03T16:58:12+00:00

User can create file locks for each open file and force kernel to allocate
small but long-living objects per each open file.

It makes sense to account for these objects to limit the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
