proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files

2020-04-07T17:43:42Z

Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not. This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times by N threads scattered over the system".

mm/swapfile.c: move inode_lock out of claim_swapfile

2020-03-29T16:47:05Z

claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful, or the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY). And, on the other error cases, it does not lock the inode. This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap" section of __do_sys_swapon(). This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE check out of claim_swapfile(). The inode is unlocked in "bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be unlocked at "bad_swap". Thus, error handling codes after the locking now jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap". ===================================== WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 5.5.0-rc7+ #176 Not tainted ------------------------------------- swapon/4294 is trying to release lock (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key) at: __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by swapon/4294. stack backtrace: CPU: 5 PID: 4294 Comm: swapon Not tainted 5.5.0-rc7-BTRFS-ZNS+ #176 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H87-PRO, BIOS 2102 07/29/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa1/0xea print_unlock_imbalance_bug.cold+0x114/0x123 lock_release+0x562/0xed0 up_write+0x2d/0x490 __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 __x64_sys_swapon+0x54/0x80 do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x4b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f15da0a0dc7 Fixes: 1638045c3677 ("mm: set S_SWAPFILE on blockdev swap devices") Signed-off-by: Naohiro Aota Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Tested-by: Qais Youef Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

mm/swapfile.c: swap_next should increase position index

2020-01-31T18:30:38Z

If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output. In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") "Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL... Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps" Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of last output line following read will output end of last line and whole last line once again. $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 104+0 records in 104+0 records out 104 bytes copied $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=40 skip=1 # last line was generated twice dd: /proc/swaps: cannot skip to specified offset v/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 /dev/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 3+1 records in 3+1 records out 131 bytes copied https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/bd8cfd7b-ac95-9b91-f9e7-e8438bd5047d@virtuozzo.com Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Jann Horn Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm, swap: disallow swapon() on zoned block devices

2019-12-01T14:29:18Z

A zoned block device consists of a number of zones. Zones are either conventional and accepting random writes or sequential and requiring that writes be issued in LBA order from each zone write pointer position. For the write restriction, zoned block devices are not suitable for a swap device. Disallow swapon on them.
