squashfs: fix length field overlap check in metadata reading

2020-07-24T19:42:41+00:00

This is a regression introduced by the "migrate from ll_rw_block usage
to BIO" patch.

Squashfs packs structures on byte boundaries, and due to that the length
field (of the metadata block) may not be fully in the current block.
The new code rewrote and introduced a faulty check for that edge case.

Squashfs: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-06-16T04:08:32+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block usage to BIO

2020-06-02T17:59:05+00:00

ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears
to come with large performance improvements.

This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for
the root file-system.  This is observed at least in the context of
starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm.  The patch was tested
on 4.19 as well as master.

This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was
originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some
significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip
Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for
FILE_CACHE in particular.

squashfs: Make use of local lock in multi_cpu decompressor

2020-05-28T08:31:10+00:00

The squashfs multi CPU decompressor makes use of get_cpu_ptr() to
acquire a pointer to per-CPU data. get_cpu_ptr() implicitly disables
preemption which serializes the access to the per-CPU data.

But decompression can take quite some time depending on the size. The
observed preempt disabled times in real world scenarios went up to 8ms,
causing massive wakeup latencies. This happens on all CPUs as the
decompression is fully parallelized.

Replace the implicit preemption control with an explicit local lock.
This allows RT kernels to substitute it with a real per CPU lock, which
serializes the access but keeps the code section preemptible. On non RT
kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as before, i.e. no functional
change.

Merge branch 'work.mount2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2019-09-19T17:06:57+00:00

Pull misc mount API conversions from Al Viro:
 "Conversions to new API for shmem and friends and for mount_mtd()-using
  filesystems.

  As for the rest of the mount API conversions in -next, some of them
  belong in the individual trees (e.g. binderfs one should definitely go
  through android folks, after getting redone on top of their changes).
  I'm going to drop those and send the rest (trivial ones + stuff ACKed
  by maintainers) in a separate series - by that point they are
  independent from each other.

  Some stuff has already migrated into individual trees (NFS conversion,
  for example, or FUSE stuff, etc.); those presumably will go through
  the regular merges from corresponding trees."

* 'work.mount2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: Make fs_parse() handle fs_param_is_fd-type params better
  vfs: Convert ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs, rootfs to use the new mount API
  shmem_parse_one(): switch to use of fs_parse()
  shmem_parse_options(): take handling a single option into a helper
  shmem_parse_options(): don't bother with mpol in separate variable
  shmem_parse_options(): use a separate structure to keep the results
  make shmem_fill_super() static
  make ramfs_fill_super() static
  devtmpfs: don't mix {ramfs,shmem}_fill_super() with mount_single()
  vfs: Convert squashfs to use the new mount API
  mtd: Kill mount_mtd()
  vfs: Convert jffs2 to use the new mount API
  vfs: Convert cramfs to use the new mount API

vfs: Convert squashfs to use the new mount API

2019-09-05T18:34:26+00:00

Convert the squashfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

fs: Fill in max and min timestamps in superblock

2019-08-30T14:27:17+00:00

Fill in the appropriate limits to avoid inconsistencies
in the vfs cached inode times when timestamps are
outside the permitted range.

Even though some filesystems are read-only, fill in the
timestamps to reflect the on-disk representation.
