orangefs: posix open permission checking...

2019-12-04T13:52:55Z

Orangefs has no open, and orangefs checks file permissions on each file access. Posix requires that file permissions be checked on open and nowhere else. Orangefs-through-the-kernel needs to seem posix compliant. The VFS opens files, even if the filesystem provides no method. We can see if a file was successfully opened for read and or for write by looking at file->f_mode. When writes are flowing from the page cache, file is no longer available. We can trust the VFS to have checked file->f_mode before writing to the page cache. The mode of a file might change between when it is opened and IO commences, or it might be created with an arbitrary mode. We'll make sure we don't hit EACCES during the IO stage by using UID 0. Some of the time we have access without changing to UID 0 - how to check? Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall

docs: fs: convert porting to ReST

2019-07-31T19:31:10Z

This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while, the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on different ways. As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences, I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review. Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html output after being parsed.

orangefs: pass slot index back to readpage.

2019-05-03T18:32:39Z

When userspace deposits more than a page of data into the shared buffer, we'll need to know which slot it is in when we get back to readpage so that we can try to use the extra data to fill some extra pages. Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg

orangefs: remember count when reading.

2019-05-03T18:32:39Z

Orangefs wins when it can do IO on large (up to four meg) blocks at a time, and looses when it has to do tiny "small io" reads and writes. Accessing Orangefs through the pagecache with the kernel module helps with small io, both reading and writing, a great deal. Readpage generally tries to fetch a page (four k) at a time. We'll let users use "count" (as in read(2) or pread(2) for example) as a knob to control how much data they get from Orangefs at a time and we'll try to use the data to fill extra pagecache pages when we get to ->readpage, hopefully resulting in fewer calls to readpage and Orangefs userspace. We need a way to remember how they set count so that we can still have it available when we get to ->readpage. - We'll use file->private_data to keep track of "count". We'll wrap generic_file_open with orangefs_file_open and initialize private_data to NULL there. - In ->read_iter we have access to both "count" and file, so we'll kmalloc some space onto file->private_data and store "count" there. - We'll kfree file->private_data each time we visit ->flush and reinitialize it to NULL.

orangefs: add orangefs_revalidate_mapping

2019-05-03T18:32:39Z

This is modeled after NFS, except our method is different. We use a simple timer to determine whether to invalidate the page cache. This is bound to perform. This addes a sysfs parameter cache_timeout_msecs which controls the time between page cache invalidations. Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall

orangefs: write range tracking

2019-05-03T18:32:38Z

Attach the actual range of bytes written to plus the responsible uid/gid to each dirty page. This information must be sent to the server when the page is written out. Now write_begin, page_mkwrite, and invalidatepage keep up with this information. There are several conditions where they must write out the page immediately to store the new range. Two non-contiguous ranges cannot be stored on a single page. Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall

orangefs: migrate to generic_file_read_iter

2019-05-03T18:32:38Z

Remove orangefs_inode_read. It was used by readpage. Calling wait_for_direct_io directly serves the purpose just as well. There is now no check of the bufmap size in the readpage path. There are already other places the bufmap size is assumed to be greater than PAGE_SIZE. Important to call truncate_inode_pages now in the write path so a subsequent read sees the new data.

orangefs: reorganize setattr functions to track attribute changes

2019-05-03T18:32:38Z

OrangeFS accepts a mask indicating which attributes were changed. The kernel must not set any bits except those that were actually changed. The kernel must set the uid/gid of the request to the actual uid/gid responsible for the change. Code path for notify_change initiated setattrs is orangefs_setattr(dentry, iattr) -> __orangefs_setattr(inode, iattr) In kernel changes are initiated by calling __orangefs_setattr. Code path for writeback is orangefs_write_inode -> orangefs_inode_setattr attr_valid and attr_uid and attr_gid change together under i_lock. I_DIRTY changes separately. __orangefs_setattr lock if needs to be cleaned first, unlock and retry set attr_valid copy data in unlock mark_inode_dirty orangefs_inode_setattr lock copy attributes out unlock clear getattr_time # __writeback_single_inode clears dirty orangefs_inode_getattr # possible to get here with attr_valid set and not dirty lock if getattr_time ok or attr_valid set, unlock and return unlock do server operation # another thread may getattr or setattr, so check for that lock if getattr_time ok or attr_valid, unlock and return else, copy in update getattr_time unlock Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall

orangefs: simplify orangefs_inode_getattr interface

2019-05-03T18:32:38Z

No need to store the received mask. It is either STATX_BASIC_STATS or STATX_BASIC_STATS & ~STATX_SIZE. If STATX_SIZE is requested, the cache is bypassed anyway, so the cached mask is unnecessary to decide whether to do a real getattr. This is a change. Previously a getattr would want size and use the cached size. All of the in-kernel callers that wanted size did not want a cached size. Now a getattr cannot use the cached size if it wants size at all. Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg Signed-off-by: Mike Marshall
