kernfs: fix missing kernfs_iattr_rwsem locking

2023-09-19T10:30:09Z

commit 0559f63057f927d298d68294d6ff77ce09b99255 upstream. When the kernfs_iattr_rwsem was introduced a case was missed. The update of the kernfs directory node child count was also protected by the kernfs_rwsem and needs to be included in the change so that the child count (and so the inode n_link attribute) does not change while holding the rwsem for read. Fixes: 9caf69614225 ("kernfs: Introduce separate rwsem to protect inode attributes.")

tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use copy_splice_read()

2023-05-24T14:42:16Z

Use copy_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file into the output buffer and don't splice pages. This avoids the need for them to have a ->read_folio() to satisfy filemap_splice_read().

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

fs: consolidate duplicate dt_type helpers

2023-04-03T07:23:54Z

There are three copies of the same dt_type helper sprinkled around the tree. Convert them to use the common fs_umode_to_dtype function instead, which has the added advantage of properly returning DT_UNKNOWN when given a mode that contains an unrecognized type.

kernfs: change kernfs_rename_lock into a read-write lock.

2023-03-29T10:23:45Z

kernfs_rename_lock protects a node's ->parent and thus kernfs topology. Thus it can be used in cases that rely on a stable kernfs topology. Change it to a read-write lock for better scalability.

kernfs: Use a per-fs rwsem to protect per-fs list of kernfs_super_info.

2023-03-29T10:23:45Z

Right now per-fs kernfs_rwsem protects list of kernfs_super_info instances for a kernfs_root. Since kernfs_rwsem is used to synchronize several other operations across kernfs and since most of these operations don't impact kernfs_super_info, we can use a separate per-fs rwsem to synchronize access to list of kernfs_super_info. This helps in reducing contention around kernfs_rwsem and also allows operations that change/access list of kernfs_super_info to proceed without contending for kernfs_rwsem.

kernfs: Introduce separate rwsem to protect inode attributes.

2023-03-29T10:23:45Z

Right now a global per-fs rwsem (kernfs_rwsem) synchronizes multiple kernfs operations. On a large system with few hundred CPUs and few hundred applications simultaneoulsy trying to access sysfs, this results in multiple sys_open(s) contending on kernfs_rwsem via kernfs_iop_permission and kernfs_dop_revalidate. For example on a system with 384 cores, if I run 200 instances of an application which is mostly executing the following loop: for (int loop = 0; loop <100 ; loop++) { for (int port_num = 1; port_num < 2; port_num++) { for (int gid_index = 0; gid_index < 254; gid_index++ ) { char ret_buf[64], ret_buf_lo[64]; char gid_file_path[1024]; int ret_len; int ret_fd; ssize_t ret_rd; ub4 i, saved_errno; memset(ret_buf, 0, sizeof(ret_buf)); memset(gid_file_path, 0, sizeof(gid_file_path)); ret_len = snprintf(gid_file_path, sizeof(gid_file_path), "/sys/class/infiniband/%s/ports/%d/gids/%d", dev_name, port_num, gid_index); ret_fd = open(gid_file_path, O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC); if (ret_fd < 0) { printf("Failed to open %s\n", gid_file_path); continue; } /* Read the GID */ ret_rd = read(ret_fd, ret_buf, 40); if (ret_rd == -1) { printf("Failed to read from file %s, errno: %u\n", gid_file_path, saved_errno); continue; } close(ret_fd); } } I see contention around kernfs_rwsem as follows: path_openat | |----link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0 | | | |--49.92%--inode_permission | | | | | --48.69%--kernfs_iop_permission | | | | | |--18.16%--down_read | | | | | |--15.38%--up_read | | | | | --14.58%--_raw_spin_lock | | | | | ----- | | | |--29.08%--walk_component | | | | | --29.02%--lookup_fast | | | | | |--24.26%--kernfs_dop_revalidate | | | | | | | |--14.97%--down_read | | | | | | | --9.01%--up_read | | | | | --4.74%--__d_lookup | | | | | --4.64%--_raw_spin_lock | | | | | ---- Having a separate per-fs rwsem to protect kernfs inode attributes, will avoid the above mentioned contention and result in better performance as can bee seen below: path_openat | |----link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0 | | | | | |--27.06%--inode_permission | | | | | --25.84%--kernfs_iop_permission | | | | | |--9.29%--up_read | | | | | |--8.19%--down_read | | | | | --7.89%--_raw_spin_lock | | | | | ---- | | | |--22.42%--walk_component | | | | | --22.36%--lookup_fast | | | | | |--16.07%--__d_lookup | | | | | | | --16.01%--_raw_spin_lock | | | | | | | ---- | | | | | --6.28%--kernfs_dop_revalidate | | | | | |--3.76%--down_read | | | | | --2.26%--up_read As can be seen from the above data the overhead due to both kerfs_iop_permission and kernfs_dop_revalidate have gone down and this also reduces overall run time of the earlier mentioned loop.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1. There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls into two different categories: - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices. Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems. - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are passing around and working with structures that really do not have to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort. Other than that we have in here: - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit codepaths. - cacheinfo rework and fixes - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems" [ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ] * tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (124 commits) debugfs: drop inline constant formatting for ERR_PTR(-ERROR) OPP: fix error checking in opp_migrate_dentry() debugfs: update comment of debugfs_rename() i3c: fix device.h kernel-doc warnings dma-mapping: no need to pass a bus_type into get_arch_dma_ops() driver core: class: move EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lines to the correct place Revert "driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node()" Revert "devtmpfs: add debug info to handle()" Revert "devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node()" driver core: cpu: don't hand-override the uevent bus_type callback. devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node() devtmpfs: add debug info to handle() driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node() driver core: bus: update my copyright notice driver core: bus: add bus_get_dev_root() function driver core: bus: constify bus_unregister() driver core: bus: constify some internal functions driver core: bus: constify bus_get_kset() driver core: bus: constify bus_register/unregister_notifier() driver core: remove private pointer from struct bus_type ...
