kernfs: Improve kernfs_notify() poll notification latency

2018-11-27T10:59:33Z

kernfs_notify() does two notifications: poll and fsnotify. Originally, both notifications were done from scheduled work context and all that kernfs_notify() did was schedule the work. This patch simply moves the poll notification from the scheduled work handler to kernfs_notify(). The fsnotify notification still needs to be done from scheduled work context because it can sleep (it needs to lock a mutex). If the poll notification is time critical (the notified thread needs to wake as quickly as possible), it's better to do it from kernfs_notify() directly. One example is calling sysfs_notify_dirent() from a hardware interrupt handler to wake up a thread and handle the interrupt in user space.

kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gid

2018-07-21T06:44:35Z

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments. The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone and always create objects belonging to the global root. When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs object. Co-Developed-by: Tyler Hicks Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks Signed-off-by: David S.

fs: kernfs: Adding new return type vm_fault_t

2018-04-23T11:52:34Z

Use new return type vm_fault_t for page_mkwrite and fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernfs: fix regression in kernfs_fop_write caused by wrong type

2018-01-19T17:19:13Z

Commit b7ce40cff0b9 ("kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file") changes type of local variable 'len' from ssize_t to size_t. This change caused that the *ppos value is updated also when the previous write callback failed. Mentioned snippet: ... len = ops->write(...); <- return value can be negative ... if (len > 0) <- true here in this case *ppos += len; ...

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after the churn of the last few series. This contains: - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov. - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960. - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects. - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart. - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo. - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle. - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan. - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and device remova. From David Jeffery. - A few nbd fixes from Josef. - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua. - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it to actually hold data, among other things. - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang. - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me.

kernfs: Clarify lockdep name for kn->count

2017-08-28T14:50:15Z

The reference count in kernfs_node structure is treated like a rwsem by using lockdep instrumentation code. The lockdep name, however, is still "s_active" which is carried over from the old sysfs code. As s_active is no longer the variable name, its use may confuse users on where the lock is when it is reported by lockdep. So it is changed to "kn->count" which is how this variable is normally referenced in kernfs code. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kernfs: introduce kernfs_node_id

2017-07-29T15:00:03Z

inode number and generation can identify a kernfs node. We are going to export the identification by exportfs operations, so put ino and generation into a separate structure. It's convenient when later patches use the identification. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
