It's a somewhat calmer cycle for docs this time, as the churn of the mass
RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
- A new document on reproducible builds.
- We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
- The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
and the linux-next ones are good.

4. Userspace Programming
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
|
||||
|
||||
It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
|
||||
Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
|
||||
turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
|
||||
Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
|
||||
which is the best option for most uses.
|
||||
|
||||
Check samples/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
|
||||
for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.

``reboot(b)`` is good when you're unable to shut down, it is an equivalent

of pressing the "reset" button.
|

``crash(c)`` can be used to manually trigger a crashdump when the system is hung.
|

Note that this just triggers a crash if there is no dump mechanism available.
|
||||
|
||||
``sync(s)`` is great when your system is locked up, it allows you to sync your
|
||||
disks and will certainly lessen the chance of data loss and fscking. Note
|
||||
that the sync hasn't taken place until you see the "OK" and "Done" appear

OK or Done message...)

``sync(s)`` is handy before yanking removable medium or after using a rescue

shell that provides no graceful shutdown -- it will ensure your data is

``umount(u)`` is basically useful in the same ways as ``sync(s)``. I generally

``sync(s)``, ``umount(u)``, then ``reboot(b)`` when my system locks. It's saved

me many a fsck. Again, the unmount (remount read-only) hasn't taken place until

you see the "OK" and "Done" message appear on the screen.
|

``umount(u)`` can be used to mark filesystems as properly unmounted. From the

running system's point of view, they will be remounted read-only. The remount

isn't complete until you see the "OK" and "Done" message appear on the screen.

been supplied with your hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
It has to be installed in the target system:

========
|
||||
|
||||
To load the driver, follow the instructions in the install section;
|
||||
once the driver is loaded, plug in the device (unless it is permanently
|
||||
plugged in). The driver will enumerate the device, upload the firmware
|
||||
and output messages in the kernel log (dmesg, /var/log/messages or
|
||||
/var/log/kern.log) such as:
|
||||
/var/log/kern.log) such as::

|
||||
|

The i2400m module supports a parameter to disable idle mode. This
|

parameter, once set, will take effect only when the device is

||||
reinitialized by the driver (eg: following a reset or a reconnect).
|
||||

||||
5.2. Debug operations: debugfs entries
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The driver will register debugfs entries that allow the user to tweak
|
||||
debug settings. There are three main container directories where
|
||||
entries are placed, which correspond to the three blocks a i2400m WiMAX
|
||||
driver has:

* /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:DEVNAME/ for the generic WiMAX stack

Notes
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
- The flash on board is divided into 3 partitions.
|
||||
You should be careful to use flash on board.
|
||||
Its partition is different from GraphicsClient Plus and GraphicsMaster
|
||||
|
||||
- 16bpp mode requires a different cable than what ships with the board.
|
||||
Contact ADS or look through the manual to wire your own. Currently,
|
||||
if you compile with 16bit mode support and switch into a lower bpp
|
||||
mode, the timing is off so the image is corrupted. This will be
|
||||
fixed soon.

Brutus
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Brutus is an evaluation platform for the SA1100 manufactured by Intel.
|
||||
For more details, see:
|
||||
|
||||
http://developer.intel.com
|
||||
|
||||
To compile for Brutus, you must issue the following commands::
|
||||
|
||||
make brutus_config
|
||||
make config
|
||||
[accept all the defaults]
|
||||
make zImage
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting kernel will end up in linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage. This file
|
||||
must be loaded at 0xc0008000 in Brutus's memory and execution started at
|
||||
0xc0008000 as well with the value of registers r0 = 0 and r1 = 16 upon
|
||||
entry.
|
||||
|
||||
But prior to execute the kernel, a ramdisk image must also be loaded in
|
||||
memory. Use memory address 0xd8000000 for this. Note that the file
|
||||
containing the (compressed) ramdisk image must not exceed 4 MB.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically, you'll need angelboot to load the kernel.
|
||||
The following angelboot.opt file should be used::
|
||||
|
||||
base 0xc0008000
|
||||
entry 0xc0008000
|
||||
r0 0x00000000
|
||||
r1 0x00000010
|
||||
device /dev/ttyS0
|
||||
options "9600 8N1"
|
||||
baud 115200
|
||||
otherfile ramdisk_img.gz
|
||||
otherbase 0xd8000000
|
||||
|
||||
Then load the kernel and ramdisk with::
|
||||
|
||||
angelboot -f angelboot.opt zImage
|
||||
|
||||
The first Brutus serial port (assumed to be linked to /dev/ttyS0 on your
|
||||
host PC) is used by angel to load the kernel and ramdisk image. The serial
|
||||
console is provided through the second Brutus serial port. To access it,
|
||||
you may use minicom configured with /dev/ttyS1, 9600 baud, 8N1, no flow
|
||||
control.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
- RS232 serial ports
|
||||
- audio output
|
||||
- LCD screen
|
||||
- keyboard
|
||||
|
||||
The actual Brutus support may not be complete without extra patches.
|
||||
If such patches exist, they should be found from
|
||||
ftp.netwinder.org/users/n/nico.
|
||||
|
||||
A full PCMCIA support is still missing, although it's possible to hack
|
||||
some drivers in order to drive already inserted cards at boot time with
|
||||
little modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Any contribution is welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
Please send patches to nico@fluxnic.net

ADS GraphicsClient Plus Single Board Computer
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
For more details, contact Applied Data Systems or see
|
||||
http://www.applieddata.net/products.html
|
||||
|
||||
The original Linux support for this product has been provided by
|
||||
Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>. Continued development work by
|
||||
Woojung Huh <whuh@applieddata.net>
|
||||
|
||||
It's currently possible to mount a root filesystem via NFS providing a
|
||||
complete Linux environment. Otherwise a ramdisk image may be used. The
|
||||
board supports MTD/JFFS, so you could also mount something on there.
|
||||
|
||||
Use 'make graphicsclient_config' before any 'make config'. This will set up
|
||||
defaults for GraphicsClient Plus support.
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel zImage is linked to be loaded and executed at 0xc0200000.
|
||||
Also the following registers should have the specified values upon entry::
|
||||
|
||||
r0 = 0
|
||||
r1 = 29 (this is the GraphicsClient architecture number)
|
||||
|
||||
Linux can be used with the ADS BootLoader that ships with the
|
||||
newer rev boards. See their documentation on how to load Linux.
|
||||
Angel is not available for the GraphicsClient Plus AFAIK.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a board known as just the GraphicsClient that ADS used to
|
||||
produce but has end of lifed. This code will not work on the older
|
||||
board with the ADS bootloader, but should still work with Angel,
|
||||
as outlined below. In any case, if you're planning on deploying
|
||||
something en masse, you should probably get the newer board.
|
||||
|
||||
If using Angel on the older boards, here is a typical angel.opt option file
|
||||
if the kernel is loaded through the Angel Debug Monitor::
|
||||
|
||||
base 0xc0200000
|
||||
entry 0xc0200000
|
||||
r0 0x00000000
|
||||
r1 0x0000001d
|
||||
device /dev/ttyS1
|
||||
options "38400 8N1"
|
||||
baud 115200
|
||||
#otherfile ramdisk.gz
|
||||
#otherbase 0xc0800000
|
||||
exec minicom
|
||||
|
||||
Then the kernel (and ramdisk if otherfile/otherbase lines above are
|
||||
uncommented) would be loaded with::
|
||||
|
||||
angelboot -f angelboot.opt zImage
|
||||
|
||||
Here it is assumed that the board is connected to ttyS1 on your PC
|
||||
and that minicom is preconfigured with /dev/ttyS1, 38400 baud, 8N1, no flow
|
||||
control by default.
|
||||
|
||||
If any other bootloader is used, ensure it accomplish the same, especially
|
||||
for r0/r1 register values before jumping into the kernel.

Itsy
|

====
|
||||
|
||||
Itsy is a research project done by the Western Research Lab, and Systems
|
||||
Research Center in Palo Alto, CA. The Itsy project is one of several
|
||||
research projects at Compaq that are related to pocket computing.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.hpl.hp.com/downloads/crl/itsy/
|
||||
|
||||
Notes on initial 2.4 Itsy support (8/27/2000) :
|
||||
|
||||
The port was done on an Itsy version 1.5 machine with a daughtercard with
|
||||
64 Meg of DRAM and 32 Meg of Flash. The initial work includes support for
|
||||
serial console (to see what you're doing). No other devices have been
|
||||
enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
To build, do a "make menuconfig" (or xmenuconfig) and select Itsy support.
|
||||
Disable Flash and LCD support. and then do a make zImage.
|
||||
Finally, you will need to cd to arch/arm/boot/tools and execute a make there
|
||||
to build the params-itsy program used to boot the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to install the port of 2.4 to the itsy, You will need to set the
|
||||
configuration parameters in the monitor as follows::
|
||||
|
||||
Arg 1:0x08340000, Arg2: 0xC0000000, Arg3:18 (0x12), Arg4:0
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure the start-routine address is set to 0x00060000.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, flash the params-itsy program to 0x00060000 ("p 1 0x00060000" in the
|
||||
flash menu) Flash the kernel in arch/arm/boot/zImage into 0x08340000
|
||||
("p 1 0x00340000"). Finally flash an initial ramdisk into 0xC8000000
|
||||
("p 2 0x0") We used ramdisk-2-30.gz from the 0.11 version directory on
|
||||
handhelds.org.
|
||||
|
||||
The serial connection we established was at:
|
||||
|
||||
8-bit data, no parity, 1 stop bit(s), 115200.00 b/s. in the monitor, in the
|
||||
params-itsy program, and in the kernel itself. This can be changed, but
|
||||
not easily. The monitor parameters are easily changed, the params program
|
||||
setup is assembly outl's, and the kernel is a configuration item specific to
|
||||
the itsy. (i.e. grep for CONFIG_SA1100_ITSY and you'll find where it is.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This should get you a properly booting 2.4 kernel on the itsy.

4. USERSPACE PROGRAMMING
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
|
||||
|
||||
It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
|
||||
Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
|
||||
turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
|
||||
Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
|
||||
which is the best option for most uses.
|
||||
|
||||
Check samples/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
|
||||
for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.

# Writing DeviceTree Bindings in json-schema
|
||||
|
||||
Devicetree bindings are written using json-schema vocabulary. Schema files are
|
||||
written in a JSON compatible subset of YAML. YAML is used instead of JSON as it
|
||||
considered more human readable and has some advantages such as allowing
|
||||
comments (Prefixed with '#').
|
||||
|
||||
## Schema Contents
|
||||
|
||||
Each schema doc is a structured json-schema which is defined by a set of
|
||||
top-level properties. Generally, there is one binding defined per file. The
|
||||
top-level json-schema properties used are:
|
||||
|
||||
- __$id__ - A json-schema unique identifier string. The string must be a valid
|
||||
URI typically containing the binding's filename and path. For DT schema, it must
|
||||
begin with "http://devicetree.org/schemas/". The URL is used in constructing
|
||||
references to other files specified in schema "$ref" properties. A $ref values
|
||||
with a leading '/' will have the hostname prepended. A $ref value a relative
|
||||
path or filename only will be prepended with the hostname and path components
|
||||
of the current schema file's '$id' value. A URL is used even for local files,
|
||||
but there may not actually be files present at those locations.
|
||||
|
||||
- __$schema__ - Indicates the meta-schema the schema file adheres to.
|
||||
|
||||
- __title__ - A one line description on the contents of the binding schema.
|
||||
|
||||
- __maintainers__ - A DT specific property. Contains a list of email address(es)
|
||||
for maintainers of this binding.
|
||||
|
||||
- __description__ - Optional. A multi-line text block containing any detailed
|
||||
information about this binding. It should contain things such as what the block
|
||||
or device does, standards the device conforms to, and links to datasheets for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
- __select__ - Optional. A json-schema used to match nodes for applying the
|
||||
schema. By default without 'select', nodes are matched against their possible
|
||||
compatible string values or node name. Most bindings should not need select.
|
||||
|
||||
- __allOf__ - Optional. A list of other schemas to include. This is used to
|
||||
include other schemas the binding conforms to. This may be schemas for a
|
||||
particular class of devices such as I2C or SPI controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
- __properties__ - A set of sub-schema defining all the DT properties for the
|
||||
binding. The exact schema syntax depends on whether properties are known,
|
||||
common properties (e.g. 'interrupts') or are binding/vendor specific properties.
|
||||
|
||||
A property can also define a child DT node with child properties defined
|
||||
under it.
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on properties sections, see 'Property Schema' section.
|
||||
|
||||
- __patternProperties__ - Optional. Similar to 'properties', but names are regex.
|
||||
|
||||
- __required__ - A list of DT properties from the 'properties' section that
|
||||
must always be present.
|
||||
|
||||
- __examples__ - Optional. A list of one or more DTS hunks implementing the
|
||||
binding. Note: YAML doesn't allow leading tabs, so spaces must be used instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Unless noted otherwise, all properties are required.
|
||||
|
||||
## Property Schema
|
||||
|
||||
The 'properties' section of the schema contains all the DT properties for a
|
||||
binding. Each property contains a set of constraints using json-schema
|
||||
vocabulary for that property. The properties schemas are what is used for
|
||||
validation of DT files.
|
||||
|
||||
For common properties, only additional constraints not covered by the common
|
||||
binding schema need to be defined such as how many values are valid or what
|
||||
possible values are valid.
|
||||
|
||||
Vendor specific properties will typically need more detailed schema. With the
|
||||
exception of boolean properties, they should have a reference to a type in
|
||||
schemas/types.yaml. A "description" property is always required.
|
||||
|
||||
The Devicetree schemas don't exactly match the YAML encoded DT data produced by
|
||||
dtc. They are simplified to make them more compact and avoid a bunch of
|
||||
boilerplate. The tools process the schema files to produce the final schema for
|
||||
validation. There are currently 2 transformations the tools perform.
|
||||
|
||||
The default for arrays in json-schema is they are variable sized and allow more
|
||||
entries than explicitly defined. This can be restricted by defining 'minItems',
|
||||
'maxItems', and 'additionalItems'. However, for DeviceTree Schemas, a fixed
|
||||
size is desired in most cases, so these properties are added based on the
|
||||
number of entries in an 'items' list.
|
||||
|
||||
The YAML Devicetree format also makes all string values an array and scalar
|
||||
values a matrix (in order to define groupings) even when only a single value
|
||||
is present. Single entries in schemas are fixed up to match this encoding.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
The DT schema project must be installed in order to validate the DT schema
|
||||
binding documents and validate DTS files using the DT schema. The DT schema
|
||||
project can be installed with pip:
|
||||
|
||||
`pip3 install git+https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema.git@master`
|
||||
|
||||
dtc must also be built with YAML output support enabled. This requires that
|
||||
libyaml and its headers be installed on the host system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Running checks
|
||||
|
||||
The DT schema binding documents must be validated using the meta-schema (the
|
||||
schema for the schema) to ensure they are both valid json-schema and valid
|
||||
binding schema. All of the DT binding documents can be validated using the
|
||||
`dt_binding_check` target:
|
||||
|
||||
`make dt_binding_check`
|
||||
|
||||
In order to perform validation of DT source files, use the `dtbs_check` target:
|
||||
|
||||
`make dtbs_check`
|
||||
|
||||
This will first run the `dt_binding_check` which generates the processed schema.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to run checks with a single schema file by setting the
|
||||
'DT_SCHEMA_FILES' variable to a specific schema file.
|
||||
|
||||
`make dtbs_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=Documentation/devicetree/bindings/trivial-devices.yaml`

Turn your foo_read_super() into a function that would return 0 in case of

success and negative number in case of error (-EINVAL unless you have more

informative error value to report). Call it foo_fill_super(). Now declare

Locking change: ->s_vfs_rename_sem is taken only by cross-directory renames.
|
||||
Most likely there is no need to change anything, but if you relied on
|
||||
global exclusion between renames for some internal purpose - you need to
|
||||
change your internal locking. Otherwise exclusion warranties remain the
|
||||
same (i.e. parents and victim are locked, etc.).

---
|
||||
[informational]
|
||||
|
||||
Now we have the exclusion between ->lookup() and directory removal (by
|
||||
->rmdir() and ->rename()). If you used to need that exclusion and do
|
||||
it by internal locking (most of filesystems couldn't care less) - you
|
||||
can relax your locking.

||||
->rmdir(), ->link(), ->lseek(), ->symlink(), ->rename()
|
||||
and ->readdir() are called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon return
|
||||
- that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If your method or its
|
||||
parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can shift lock_kernel() and
|
||||
unlock_kernel() so that they would protect exactly what needs to be
|
||||
protected.

---

BKL is also moved from around sb operations. BKL should have been shifted into

New super_block field "struct export_operations *s_export_op" for
|
||||
explicit support for exporting, e.g. via NFS. The structure is fully
|
||||
documented at its declaration in include/linux/fs.h, and in
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/Exporting.
|
||||
|
||||
Briefly it allows for the definition of decode_fh and encode_fh operations
|
||||
to encode and decode filehandles, and allows the filesystem to use
|
||||
a standard helper function for decode_fh, and provide file-system specific
|
||||
support for this helper, particularly get_parent.
|
||||
|
||||
It is planned that this will be required for exporting once the code
|
||||
settles down a bit.

|

iget4() and the read_inode2 callback have been superseded by iget5_locked()
|
||||
which has the following prototype,
|
||||
|
||||
struct inode *iget5_locked(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long ino,
|
||||
int (*test)(struct inode *, void *),
|
||||
int (*set)(struct inode *, void *),
|
||||
void *data);
|
||||
|
||||
'test' is an additional function that can be used when the inode
|
||||
number is not sufficient to identify the actual file object. 'set'
|
||||
should be a non-blocking function that initializes those parts of a
|
||||
newly created inode to allow the test function to succeed. 'data' is
|
||||
passed as an opaque value to both test and set functions.
|
||||
|
||||
When the inode has been created by iget5_locked(), it will be returned with the
|
||||
I_NEW flag set and will still be locked. The filesystem then needs to finalize
|
||||
the initialization. Once the inode is initialized it must be unlocked by
|
||||
calling unlock_new_inode().
|
||||
|
||||
The filesystem is responsible for setting (and possibly testing) i_ino
|
||||
when appropriate. There is also a simpler iget_locked function that
|
||||
just takes the superblock and inode number as arguments and does the
|
||||
test and set for you.
|
||||
|
||||
e.g.
|
||||
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
|
||||
if (inode->i_state & I_NEW) {
|
||||
err = read_inode_from_disk(inode);
|
||||
if (err < 0) {
|
||||
iget_failed(inode);
|
||||
return err;
|
||||
}
|
||||
unlock_new_inode(inode);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if the process of setting up a new inode fails, then iget_failed()
|
||||
should be called on the inode to render it dead, and an appropriate error
|
||||
should be passed back to the caller.

->revalidate() is gone. If your filesystem had it - provide ->getattr()

->d_parent changes are not protected by BKL anymore. Read access is safe
|
||||
if at least one of the following is true:
|
||||
* filesystem has no cross-directory rename()
|
||||
* we know that parent had been locked (e.g. we are looking at
|
||||
->d_parent of ->lookup() argument).
|
||||
* we are called from ->rename().
|
||||
* the child's ->d_lock is held
|
||||
Audit your code and add locking if needed. Notice that any place that is
|
||||
not protected by the conditions above is risky even in the old tree - you
|
||||
had been relying on BKL and that's prone to screwups. Old tree had quite
|
||||
a few holes of that kind - unprotected access to ->d_parent leading to
|
||||
anything from oops to silent memory corruption.

Use bdev_read_only(bdev) instead of is_read_only(kdev). The latter

As soon as it gets fixed is_read_only() will die.

->permission() is called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon

return - that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If
|

your method or its parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can
|

shift lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() so that they would protect

exactly what needs to be protected.

block truncatation on error exit from ->write_begin, and ->direct_IO

moved from generic methods (block_write_begin, cont_write_begin,

nobh_write_begin, blockdev_direct_IO*) to callers. Take a look at

ext2_write_failed and callers for an example.

|

|

->truncate is gone. The whole truncate sequence needs to be
|
||||
implemented in ->setattr, which is now mandatory for filesystems
|
||||
implementing on-disk size changes. Start with a copy of the old inode_setattr
|
||||
and vmtruncate, and the reorder the vmtruncate + foofs_vmtruncate sequence to
|
||||
be in order of zeroing blocks using block_truncate_page or similar helpers,
|
||||
size update and on finally on-disk truncation which should not fail.
|
||||
setattr_prepare (which used to be inode_change_ok) now includes the size checks
|

for ATTR_SIZE and must be called in the beginning of ->setattr unconditionally.
|
||||
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
|
||||
->clear_inode() and ->delete_inode() are gone; ->evict_inode() should
|
||||
be used instead. It gets called whenever the inode is evicted, whether it has
|
||||
remaining links or not. Caller does *not* evict the pagecache or inode-associated
|
||||
metadata buffers; the method has to use truncate_inode_pages_final() to get rid
|
||||
of those. Caller makes sure async writeback cannot be running for the inode while
|
||||
(or after) ->evict_inode() is called.
|
||||
|
||||
->drop_inode() returns int now; it's called on final iput() with
|
||||
inode->i_lock held and it returns true if filesystems wants the inode to be
|
||||
dropped. As before, generic_drop_inode() is still the default and it's been
|
||||
updated appropriately. generic_delete_inode() is also alive and it consists
|
||||
simply of return 1. Note that all actual eviction work is done by caller after
|
||||
->drop_inode() returns.
|
||||
|
||||
As before, clear_inode() must be called exactly once on each call of
|
||||
->evict_inode() (as it used to be for each call of ->delete_inode()). Unlike
|
||||
before, if you are using inode-associated metadata buffers (i.e.
|
||||
mark_buffer_dirty_inode()), it's your responsibility to call
|
||||
invalidate_inode_buffers() before clear_inode().
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: checking i_nlink in the beginning of ->write_inode() and bailing out
|
||||
if it's zero is not *and* *never* *had* *been* enough. Final unlink() and iput()
|
||||
may happen while the inode is in the middle of ->write_inode(); e.g. if you blindly
|
||||
free the on-disk inode, you may end up doing that while ->write_inode() is writing
|
||||
to it.

.d_delete() now only advises the dcache as to whether or not to cache

unreferenced dentries, and is now only called when the dentry refcount goes to

Filesystems must RCU-free their inodes, if they can have been accessed
|
||||
via rcu-walk path walk (basically, if the file can have had a path name in the
|
||||
vfs namespace).
|
||||
|
||||
Even though i_dentry and i_rcu share storage in a union, we will
|
||||
initialize the former in inode_init_always(), so just leave it alone in
|
||||
the callback. It used to be necessary to clean it there, but not anymore
|
||||
(starting at 3.2).

vfs now tries to do path walking in "rcu-walk mode", which avoids
|
||||
atomic operations and scalability hazards on dentries and inodes (see
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/path-lookup.txt). d_hash and d_compare changes
|
||||
(above) are examples of the changes required to support this. For more complex
|
||||
filesystem callbacks, the vfs drops out of rcu-walk mode before the fs call, so
|
||||
no changes are required to the filesystem. However, this is costly and loses
|
||||
the benefits of rcu-walk mode. We will begin to add filesystem callbacks that
|
||||
are rcu-walk aware, shown below. Filesystems should take advantage of this
|
||||
where possible.
|
||||
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
d_revalidate is a callback that is made on every path element (if
|
||||
the filesystem provides it), which requires dropping out of rcu-walk mode. This
|
||||
may now be called in rcu-walk mode (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU). -ECHILD should be
|
||||
returned if the filesystem cannot handle rcu-walk. See
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
permission is an inode permission check that is called on many or all
|
||||
directory inodes on the way down a path walk (to check for exec permission). It
|
||||
must now be rcu-walk aware (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). See
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst for more details.

In ->fallocate() you must check the mode option passed in. If your
|
||||
filesystem does not support hole punching (deallocating space in the middle of a
|
||||
file) you must return -EOPNOTSUPP if FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE is set in mode.
|
||||
Currently you can only have FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set,
|
||||
so the i_size should not change when hole punching, even when puching the end of
|
||||
a file off.

->get_sb() is gone. Switch to use of ->mount(). Typically it's just

a matter of switching from calling get_sb_... to mount_... and changing the

function type. If you were doing it manually, just switch from setting ->mnt_root
|
||||
to some pointer to returning that pointer. On errors return ERR_PTR(...).

->permission() and generic_permission()have lost flags
|

argument; instead of passing IPERM_FLAG_RCU we add MAY_NOT_BLOCK into mask.
|
||||
generic_permission() has also lost the check_acl argument; ACL checking
|
||||
has been taken to VFS and filesystems need to provide a non-NULL ->i_op->get_acl
|

to read an ACL from disk.

[mandatory]
|

If you implement your own ->llseek() you must handle SEEK_HOLE and
|
||||
SEEK_DATA. You can hanle this by returning -EINVAL, but it would be nicer to
|
||||
support it in some way. The generic handler assumes that the entire file is
|
||||
data and there is a virtual hole at the end of the file. So if the provided
|
||||
offset is less than i_size and SEEK_DATA is specified, return the same offset.
|
||||
If the above is true for the offset and you are given SEEK_HOLE, return the end
|
||||
of the file. If the offset is i_size or greater return -ENXIO in either case.

[mandatory]
|
||||
If you have your own ->fsync() you must make sure to call
|
||||
filemap_write_and_wait_range() so that all dirty pages are synced out properly.
|
||||
You must also keep in mind that ->fsync() is not called with i_mutex held
|
||||
anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and
|
||||
release it yourself.

d_alloc_root() is gone, along with a lot of bugs caused by code

misusing it. Replacement: d_make_root(inode). On success d_make_root(inode)
|

allocates and returns a new dentry instantiated with the passed in inode.
|
||||
On failure NULL is returned and the passed in inode is dropped so the reference
|
||||
to inode is consumed in all cases and failure handling need not do any cleanup
|
||||
for the inode. If d_make_root(inode) is passed a NULL inode it returns NULL
|

inode = foofs_new_inode(....);

s->s_root = d_make_root(inode);

any symlink that might use page_follow_link_light/page_put_link() must

symlinks. That includes any preseeding that might be done during symlink

creation. __page_symlink() will honour the mapping gfp flags, so once

assume that non-NULL value in ->i_nlink at ->destroy_inode() implies that
|
||||
it's a symlink. Checking ->i_mode is really needed now. In-tree we had
|
||||
to fix shmem_destroy_callback() that used to take that kind of shortcut;
|
||||
watch out, since that shortcut is no longer valid.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->i_mutex is replaced with ->i_rwsem now. inode_lock() et.al. work as
|
||||
they used to - they just take it exclusive. However, ->lookup() may be
|
||||
called with parent locked shared. Its instances must not
|
||||
* use d_instantiate) and d_rehash() separately - use d_add() or
|
||||
d_splice_alias() instead.
|
||||
* use d_rehash() alone - call d_add(new_dentry, NULL) instead.
|
||||
* in the unlikely case when (read-only) access to filesystem
|
||||
data structures needs exclusion for some reason, arrange it
|
||||
yourself. None of the in-tree filesystems needed that.
|
||||
* rely on ->d_parent and ->d_name not changing after dentry has
|
||||
been fed to d_add() or d_splice_alias(). Again, none of the
|
||||
in-tree instances relied upon that.
|
||||
We are guaranteed that lookups of the same name in the same directory
|
||||
will not happen in parallel ("same" in the sense of your ->d_compare()).
|
||||
Lookups on different names in the same directory can and do happen in
|
||||
parallel now.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[recommended]
|
||||
->iterate_shared() is added; it's a parallel variant of ->iterate().
|
||||
Exclusion on struct file level is still provided (as well as that
|
||||
between it and lseek on the same struct file), but if your directory
|
||||
has been opened several times, you can get these called in parallel.
|
||||
Exclusion between that method and all directory-modifying ones is
|
||||
still provided, of course.
|
||||
|
||||
Often enough ->iterate() can serve as ->iterate_shared() without any
|
||||
changes - it is a read-only operation, after all. If you have any
|
||||
per-inode or per-dentry in-core data structures modified by ->iterate(),
|
||||
you might need something to serialize the access to them. If you
|
||||
do dcache pre-seeding, you'll need to switch to d_alloc_parallel() for
|
||||
that; look for in-tree examples.
|
||||
|
||||
Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
|
||||
be removed. Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.

->atomic_open() calls without O_CREAT may happen in parallel.

--
|

[mandatory]
|
||||
->setxattr() and xattr_handler.set() get dentry and inode passed separately.
|
||||
dentry might be yet to be attached to inode, so do _not_ use its ->d_inode
|
||||
in the instances. Rationale: !@#!@# security_d_instantiate() needs to be
|
||||
called before we attach dentry to inode and !@#!@##!@$!$#!@#$!@$!@$ smack
|
||||
->d_instantiate() uses not just ->getxattr() but ->setxattr() as well.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->d_compare() doesn't get parent as a separate argument anymore. If you
|
||||
used it for finding the struct super_block involved, dentry->d_sb will
|
||||
work just as well; if it's something more complicated, use dentry->d_parent.
|
||||
Just be careful not to assume that fetching it more than once will yield
|
||||
the same value - in RCU mode it could change under you.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->rename() has an added flags argument. Any flags not handled by the
|
||||
filesystem should result in EINVAL being returned.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[recommended]
|
||||
->readlink is optional for symlinks. Don't set, unless filesystem needs
|
||||
to fake something for readlink(2).
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->getattr() is now passed a struct path rather than a vfsmount and
|
||||
dentry separately, and it now has request_mask and query_flags arguments
|
||||
to specify the fields and sync type requested by statx. Filesystems not
|
||||
supporting any statx-specific features may ignore the new arguments.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->atomic_open() calling conventions have changed. Gone is int *opened,
|
||||
along with FILE_OPENED/FILE_CREATED. In place of those we have
|
||||
FMODE_OPENED/FMODE_CREATED, set in file->f_mode. Additionally, return
|
||||
value for 'called finish_no_open(), open it yourself' case has become
|
||||
0, not 1. Since finish_no_open() itself is returning 0 now, that part
|
||||
does not need any changes in ->atomic_open() instances.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
alloc_file() has become static now; two wrappers are to be used instead.
|
||||
alloc_file_pseudo(inode, vfsmount, name, flags, ops) is for the cases
|
||||
when dentry needs to be created; that's the majority of old alloc_file()
|
||||
users. Calling conventions: on success a reference to new struct file
|
||||
is returned and callers reference to inode is subsumed by that. On
|
||||
failure, ERR_PTR() is returned and no caller's references are affected,
|
||||
so the caller needs to drop the inode reference it held.
|
||||
alloc_file_clone(file, flags, ops) does not affect any caller's references.
|
||||
On success you get a new struct file sharing the mount/dentry with the
|
||||
original, on failure - ERR_PTR().
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
->clone_file_range() and ->dedupe_file_range have been replaced with
|
||||
->remap_file_range(). See Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
--
|

[recommended]
|
||||
->lookup() instances doing an equivalent of
|
||||
if (IS_ERR(inode))
|
||||
return ERR_CAST(inode);
|
||||
return d_splice_alias(inode, dentry);
|
||||
don't need to bother with the check - d_splice_alias() will do the
|
||||
right thing when given ERR_PTR(...) as inode. Moreover, passing NULL
|
||||
inode to d_splice_alias() will also do the right thing (equivalent of
|
||||
d_add(dentry, NULL); return NULL;), so that kind of special cases
|
||||
also doesn't need a separate treatment.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[strongly recommended]
|
||||
take the RCU-delayed parts of ->destroy_inode() into a new method -
|
||||
->free_inode(). If ->destroy_inode() becomes empty - all the better,
|
||||
just get rid of it. Synchronous work (e.g. the stuff that can't
|
||||
be done from an RCU callback, or any WARN_ON() where we want the
|
||||
stack trace) *might* be movable to ->evict_inode(); however,
|
||||
that goes only for the things that are not needed to balance something
|
||||
done by ->alloc_inode(). IOW, if it's cleaning up the stuff that
|
||||
might have accumulated over the life of in-core inode, ->evict_inode()
|
||||
might be a fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Rules for inode destruction:
|
||||
* if ->destroy_inode() is non-NULL, it gets called
|
||||
* if ->free_inode() is non-NULL, it gets scheduled by call_rcu()
|
||||
* combination of NULL ->destroy_inode and NULL ->free_inode is
|
||||
treated as NULL/free_inode_nonrcu, to preserve the compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the callback (be it via ->free_inode() or explicit call_rcu()
|
||||
in ->destroy_inode()) is *NOT* ordered wrt superblock destruction;
|
||||
as the matter of fact, the superblock and all associated structures
|
||||
might be already gone. The filesystem driver is guaranteed to be still
|
||||
there, but that's it. Freeing memory in the callback is fine; doing
|
||||
more than that is possible, but requires a lot of care and is best
|
||||
avoided.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
DCACHE_RCUACCESS is gone; having an RCU delay on dentry freeing is the
|
||||
default. DCACHE_NORCU opts out, and only d_alloc_pseudo() has any
|
||||
business doing so.
|
||||
--
|
||||
[mandatory]
|
||||
d_alloc_pseudo() is internal-only; uses outside of alloc_file_pseudo() are
|
||||
very suspect (and won't work in modules). Such uses are very likely to
|
||||
be misspelled d_alloc_anon().

New helpers: sb_bread(), sb_getblk(), sb_find_get_block(), set_bh(),
|

sb_set_blocksize() and sb_min_blocksize().
|

|

|

**recommended**
|

|
||||
New methods: ->alloc_inode() and ->destroy_inode().
|
||||
|
||||
Remove inode->u.foo_inode_i
|
||||
|
||||
Declare::
|
||||
|
||||
struct foo_inode_info {
|
||||
/* fs-private stuff */
|
||||
struct inode vfs_inode;
|
||||
};
|

static inline struct foo_inode_info *FOO_I(struct inode *inode)
|

{
|

return list_entry(inode, struct foo_inode_info, vfs_inode);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Use FOO_I(inode) instead of &inode->u.foo_inode_i;
|
||||
|
||||
Add foo_alloc_inode() and foo_destroy_inode() - the former should allocate
|
||||
foo_inode_info and return the address of ->vfs_inode, the latter should free
|
||||
FOO_I(inode) (see in-tree filesystems for examples).
|
||||
|
||||
Make them ->alloc_inode and ->destroy_inode in your super_operations.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that now you need explicit initialization of private data
|
||||
typically between calling iget_locked() and unlocking the inode.
|
||||
|
||||
At some point that will become mandatory.
|

**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
Change of file_system_type method (->read_super to ->get_sb)
|
||||
|
||||
->read_super() is no more. Ditto for DECLARE_FSTYPE and DECLARE_FSTYPE_DEV.
|
||||
|
||||
Turn your foo_read_super() into a function that would return 0 in case of
|
||||
success and negative number in case of error (-EINVAL unless you have more
|
||||
informative error value to report). Call it foo_fill_super(). Now declare::
|
||||
|
||||
int foo_get_sb(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
|
||||
int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data, struct vfsmount *mnt)
|

{
|

return get_sb_bdev(fs_type, flags, dev_name, data, foo_fill_super,
|
||||
mnt);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
(or similar with s/bdev/nodev/ or s/bdev/single/, depending on the kind of
|
||||
filesystem).
|
||||
|
||||
Replace DECLARE_FSTYPE... with explicit initializer and have ->get_sb set as
|
||||
foo_get_sb.

**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
Locking change: ->s_vfs_rename_sem is taken only by cross-directory renames.
|
||||
Most likely there is no need to change anything, but if you relied on
|
||||
global exclusion between renames for some internal purpose - you need to
|
||||
change your internal locking. Otherwise exclusion warranties remain the
|
||||
same (i.e. parents and victim are locked, etc.).

||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**informational**
|
||||
|
||||
Now we have the exclusion between ->lookup() and directory removal (by
|
||||
->rmdir() and ->rename()). If you used to need that exclusion and do
|
||||
it by internal locking (most of filesystems couldn't care less) - you
|
||||
can relax your locking.

->lookup(), ->truncate(), ->create(), ->unlink(), ->mknod(), ->mkdir(),
|
||||
->rmdir(), ->link(), ->lseek(), ->symlink(), ->rename()
|
||||
and ->readdir() are called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon return
|
||||
- that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If your method or its
|
||||
parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can shift lock_kernel() and
|
||||
unlock_kernel() so that they would protect exactly what needs to be
|
||||
protected.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|

new file_system_type method - kill_sb(superblock). If you are converting

an existing filesystem, set it according to ->fs_flags::

|

FS_REQUIRES_DEV - kill_block_super
|

FS_LITTER - kill_litter_super
|

neither - kill_anon_super

FS_LITTER is gone - just remove it from fs_flags.

**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
FS_SINGLE is gone (actually, that had happened back when ->get_sb()
|

went in - and hadn't been documented ;-/). Just remove it from fs_flags
|
||||
(and see ->get_sb() entry for other actions).

|
||||
|

**mandatory**

->setattr() is called without BKL now. Caller _always_ holds ->i_mutex, so

Callers of notify_change() need ->i_mutex now.

**recommended**
|

|
||||
New super_block field ``struct export_operations *s_export_op`` for
|
||||
explicit support for exporting, e.g. via NFS. The structure is fully
|
||||
documented at its declaration in include/linux/fs.h, and in
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/exporting.rst.
|
||||
|
||||
Briefly it allows for the definition of decode_fh and encode_fh operations
|
||||
to encode and decode filehandles, and allows the filesystem to use
|
||||
a standard helper function for decode_fh, and provide file-system specific
|
||||
support for this helper, particularly get_parent.
|
||||
|
||||
It is planned that this will be required for exporting once the code
|
||||
settles down a bit.
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
s_export_op is now required for exporting a filesystem.
|
||||
isofs, ext2, ext3, resierfs, fat
|
||||
can be used as examples of very different filesystems.

|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
iget4() and the read_inode2 callback have been superseded by iget5_locked()
|
||||
which has the following prototype::
|
||||
|
||||
struct inode *iget5_locked(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long ino,
|
||||
int (*test)(struct inode *, void *),
|
||||
int (*set)(struct inode *, void *),
|
||||
void *data);
|
||||
|
||||
'test' is an additional function that can be used when the inode
|
||||
number is not sufficient to identify the actual file object. 'set'
|
||||
should be a non-blocking function that initializes those parts of a
|
||||
newly created inode to allow the test function to succeed. 'data' is
|
||||
passed as an opaque value to both test and set functions.
|
||||
|
||||
When the inode has been created by iget5_locked(), it will be returned with the
|
||||
I_NEW flag set and will still be locked. The filesystem then needs to finalize
|
||||
the initialization. Once the inode is initialized it must be unlocked by
|
||||
calling unlock_new_inode().
|
||||
|
||||
The filesystem is responsible for setting (and possibly testing) i_ino
|
||||
when appropriate. There is also a simpler iget_locked function that
|
||||
just takes the superblock and inode number as arguments and does the
|
||||
test and set for you.
|
||||
|
||||
e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
|
||||
if (inode->i_state & I_NEW) {
|
||||
err = read_inode_from_disk(inode);
|
||||
if (err < 0) {
|
||||
iget_failed(inode);
|
||||
return err;
|
||||
}
|
||||
unlock_new_inode(inode);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if the process of setting up a new inode fails, then iget_failed()
|
||||
should be called on the inode to render it dead, and an appropriate error
|
||||
should be passed back to the caller.
|
||||

|

**recommended**
|

->getattr() finally getting used. See instances in nfs, minix, etc.
|

---
|

|

**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->revalidate() is gone. If your filesystem had it - provide ->getattr()
|
||||
and let it call whatever you had as ->revlidate() + (for symlinks that
|
||||
had ->revalidate()) add calls in ->follow_link()/->readlink().
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->d_parent changes are not protected by BKL anymore. Read access is safe
|
||||
if at least one of the following is true:
|
||||
|
||||
* filesystem has no cross-directory rename()
|
||||
* we know that parent had been locked (e.g. we are looking at
|
||||
->d_parent of ->lookup() argument).
|
||||
* we are called from ->rename().
|
||||
* the child's ->d_lock is held
|
||||
|
||||
Audit your code and add locking if needed. Notice that any place that is
|
||||
not protected by the conditions above is risky even in the old tree - you
|
||||
had been relying on BKL and that's prone to screwups. Old tree had quite
|
||||
a few holes of that kind - unprotected access to ->d_parent leading to
|
||||
anything from oops to silent memory corruption.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
FS_NOMOUNT is gone. If you use it - just set SB_NOUSER in flags
|
||||
(see rootfs for one kind of solution and bdev/socket/pipe for another).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**recommended**
|
||||
|
||||
Use bdev_read_only(bdev) instead of is_read_only(kdev). The latter
|
||||
is still alive, but only because of the mess in drivers/s390/block/dasd.c.
|
||||
As soon as it gets fixed is_read_only() will die.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->permission() is called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon
|
||||
return - that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If
|
||||
your method or its parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can
|
||||
shift lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() so that they would protect
|
||||
exactly what needs to be protected.
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->statfs() is now called without BKL held. BKL should have been
|
||||
shifted into individual fs sb_op functions where it's not clear that
|
||||
it's safe to remove it. If you don't need it, remove it.

fsync_dev() is gone; use fsync_bdev(). NOTE: lvm breakage is

way by that code fixing will become trivial; until then nothing can be
|
||||
done.
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
block truncatation on error exit from ->write_begin, and ->direct_IO
|
||||
moved from generic methods (block_write_begin, cont_write_begin,
|
||||
nobh_write_begin, blockdev_direct_IO*) to callers. Take a look at
|
||||
ext2_write_failed and callers for an example.
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->truncate is gone. The whole truncate sequence needs to be
|
||||
implemented in ->setattr, which is now mandatory for filesystems
|
||||
implementing on-disk size changes. Start with a copy of the old inode_setattr
|
||||
and vmtruncate, and the reorder the vmtruncate + foofs_vmtruncate sequence to
|
||||
be in order of zeroing blocks using block_truncate_page or similar helpers,
|
||||
size update and on finally on-disk truncation which should not fail.
|
||||
setattr_prepare (which used to be inode_change_ok) now includes the size checks
|
||||
for ATTR_SIZE and must be called in the beginning of ->setattr unconditionally.
|
||||
|
||||
**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
->clear_inode() and ->delete_inode() are gone; ->evict_inode() should
|
||||
be used instead. It gets called whenever the inode is evicted, whether it has
|
||||
remaining links or not. Caller does *not* evict the pagecache or inode-associated

metadata buffers; the method has to use truncate_inode_pages_final() to get rid
|
||||
of those. Caller makes sure async writeback cannot be running for the inode while
|
||||
(or after) ->evict_inode() is called.
|
||||
|
||||
->drop_inode() returns int now; it's called on final iput() with
|
||||
inode->i_lock held and it returns true if filesystems wants the inode to be
|
||||
dropped. As before, generic_drop_inode() is still the default and it's been
|
||||
updated appropriately. generic_delete_inode() is also alive and it consists
|
||||
simply of return 1. Note that all actual eviction work is done by caller after
|
||||
->drop_inode() returns.
|
||||
|
||||
As before, clear_inode() must be called exactly once on each call of
|
||||
->evict_inode() (as it used to be for each call of ->delete_inode()). Unlike
|
||||
before, if you are using inode-associated metadata buffers (i.e.
|
||||
mark_buffer_dirty_inode()), it's your responsibility to call
|
||||
invalidate_inode_buffers() before clear_inode().
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: checking i_nlink in the beginning of ->write_inode() and bailing out
|
||||
if it's zero is not *and* *never* *had* *been* enough. Final unlink() and iput()
|
||||
may happen while the inode is in the middle of ->write_inode(); e.g. if you blindly
|
||||
free the on-disk inode, you may end up doing that while ->write_inode() is writing
|
||||
to it.

.d_delete() now only advises the dcache as to whether or not to cache
|

unreferenced dentries, and is now only called when the dentry refcount goes to

0. Even on 0 refcount transition, it must be able to tolerate being called 0,

1, or more times (eg. constant, idempotent).

dcache_lock is gone, replaced by fine grained locks. See fs/dcache.c

for details of what locks to replace dcache_lock with in order to protect

particular things. Most of the time, a filesystem only needs ->d_lock, which

Filesystems must RCU-free their inodes, if they can have been accessed
|
||||
via rcu-walk path walk (basically, if the file can have had a path name in the
|
||||
vfs namespace).
|
||||
|
||||
Even though i_dentry and i_rcu share storage in a union, we will
|
||||
initialize the former in inode_init_always(), so just leave it alone in
|
||||
the callback. It used to be necessary to clean it there, but not anymore
|
||||
(starting at 3.2).

vfs now tries to do path walking in "rcu-walk mode", which avoids
|
||||
atomic operations and scalability hazards on dentries and inodes (see
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/path-lookup.txt). d_hash and d_compare changes
|
||||
(above) are examples of the changes required to support this. For more complex
|
||||
filesystem callbacks, the vfs drops out of rcu-walk mode before the fs call, so
|
||||
no changes are required to the filesystem. However, this is costly and loses
|
||||
the benefits of rcu-walk mode. We will begin to add filesystem callbacks that
|
||||
are rcu-walk aware, shown below. Filesystems should take advantage of this
|
||||
where possible.

|

|

**mandatory**
|
||||
|
||||
d_revalidate is a callback that is made on every path element (if
|
||||
the filesystem provides it), which requires dropping out of rcu-walk mode. This
|
||||
may now be called in rcu-walk mode (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU). -ECHILD should be
|
||||
returned if the filesystem cannot handle rcu-walk. See
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
permission is an inode permission check that is called on many or all
|
||||
directory inodes on the way down a path walk (to check for exec permission). It
|
||||
must now be rcu-walk aware (mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK). See
|
||||
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst for more details.

In ->fallocate() you must check the mode option passed in. If your
|
||||
filesystem does not support hole punching (deallocating space in the middle of a
|
||||
file) you must return -EOPNOTSUPP if FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE is set in mode.
|
||||
Currently you can only have FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set,
|
||||
so the i_size should not change when hole punching, even when puching the end of
|
||||
a file off.

->get_sb() is gone. Switch to use of ->mount(). Typically it's just
|

a matter of switching from calling ``get_sb_``... to ``mount_``... and changing
|

the function type. If you were doing it manually, just switch from setting
|
||||
->mnt_root to some pointer to returning that pointer. On errors return

ERR_PTR(...).

->permission() and generic_permission()have lost flags
|
||||
argument; instead of passing IPERM_FLAG_RCU we add MAY_NOT_BLOCK into mask.
|
||||
|
||||
generic_permission() has also lost the check_acl argument; ACL checking
|
||||
has been taken to VFS and filesystems need to provide a non-NULL ->i_op->get_acl
|

to read an ACL from disk.

If you implement your own ->llseek() you must handle SEEK_HOLE and
|
||||
SEEK_DATA. You can hanle this by returning -EINVAL, but it would be nicer to
|
||||
support it in some way. The generic handler assumes that the entire file is
|
||||
data and there is a virtual hole at the end of the file. So if the provided
|
||||
offset is less than i_size and SEEK_DATA is specified, return the same offset.
|
||||
If the above is true for the offset and you are given SEEK_HOLE, return the end
|
||||
of the file. If the offset is i_size or greater return -ENXIO in either case.

|

If you have your own ->fsync() you must make sure to call
|

filemap_write_and_wait_range() so that all dirty pages are synced out properly.
|
||||
You must also keep in mind that ->fsync() is not called with i_mutex held
|
||||
anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and
|
||||
release it yourself.

d_alloc_root() is gone, along with a lot of bugs caused by code
|
||||
misusing it. Replacement: d_make_root(inode). On success d_make_root(inode)
|
||||
allocates and returns a new dentry instantiated with the passed in inode.
|
||||
On failure NULL is returned and the passed in inode is dropped so the reference
|
||||
to inode is consumed in all cases and failure handling need not do any cleanup
|
||||
for the inode. If d_make_root(inode) is passed a NULL inode it returns NULL
|
||||
and also requires no further error handling. Typical usage is::
|
||||
|
||||
inode = foofs_new_inode(....);
|

s->s_root = d_make_root(inode);

if (!s->s_root)

taken anymore, so verify that your callbacks do not rely on it (none

of the in-tree instances did). inode_hash_lock is still held,

calling conventions for ->follow_link() have changed. Instead of returning

any symlink that might use page_follow_link_light/page_put_link() must

its pagecache. No highmem pages should end up in the pagecache of such
|
||||
symlinks. That includes any preseeding that might be done during symlink
|
||||
creation. __page_symlink() will honour the mapping gfp flags, so once
|
||||
you've done inode_nohighmem() it's safe to use, but if you allocate and
|
||||
insert the page manually, make sure to use the right gfp flags.

->getxattr() and xattr_handler.get() get dentry and inode passed separately.
|

dentry might be yet to be attached to inode, so do _not_ use its ->d_inode

in the instances. Rationale: !@#!@# security_d_instantiate() needs to be

called before we attach dentry to inode.

symlinks are no longer the only inodes that do *not* have i_bdev/i_cdev/
|
||||
i_pipe/i_link union zeroed out at inode eviction. As the result, you can't
|
||||
assume that non-NULL value in ->i_nlink at ->destroy_inode() implies that
|
||||
it's a symlink. Checking ->i_mode is really needed now. In-tree we had
|
||||
to fix shmem_destroy_callback() that used to take that kind of shortcut;
|
||||
watch out, since that shortcut is no longer valid.
|

**mandatory**
|

->i_mutex is replaced with ->i_rwsem now. inode_lock() et.al. work as
|
||||
they used to - they just take it exclusive. However, ->lookup() may be
|
||||
called with parent locked shared. Its instances must not
|
||||
|
||||
* use d_instantiate) and d_rehash() separately - use d_add() or
|
||||
d_splice_alias() instead.
|
||||
* use d_rehash() alone - call d_add(new_dentry, NULL) instead.
|
||||
* in the unlikely case when (read-only) access to filesystem
|
||||
data structures needs exclusion for some reason, arrange it
|
||||
yourself. None of the in-tree filesystems needed that.
|
||||
* rely on ->d_parent and ->d_name not changing after dentry has
|
||||
been fed to d_add() or d_splice_alias(). Again, none of the
|
||||
in-tree instances relied upon that.
|
||||
|
||||
We are guaranteed that lookups of the same name in the same directory
|
||||
will not happen in parallel ("same" in the sense of your ->d_compare()).
|
||||
Lookups on different names in the same directory can and do happen in
|
||||
parallel now.

|

|

**recommended**
|
||||
|
||||
->iterate_shared() is added; it's a parallel variant of ->iterate().
|
||||
Exclusion on struct file level is still provided (as well as that
|
||||
between it and lseek on the same struct file), but if your directory
|
||||
has been opened several times, you can get these called in parallel.
|
||||
Exclusion between that method and all directory-modifying ones is
|
||||
still provided, of course.
|
||||
|
||||
Often enough ->iterate() can serve as ->iterate_shared() without any
|
||||
changes - it is a read-only operation, after all. If you have any
|
||||
per-inode or per-dentry in-core data structures modified by ->iterate(),
|
||||
you might need something to serialize the access to them. If you
|
||||
do dcache pre-seeding, you'll need to switch to d_alloc_parallel() for
|
||||
that; look for in-tree examples.
|
||||
|
||||
Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
|
||||
be removed. Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.

dentry might be yet to be attached to inode, so do _not_ use its ->d_inode

in the instances. Rationale: !@#!@# security_d_instantiate() needs to be

->d_instantiate() uses not just ->getxattr() but ->setxattr() as well.

->d_compare() doesn't get parent as a separate argument anymore. If you

used it for finding the struct super_block involved, dentry->d_sb will
|

work just as well; if it's something more complicated, use dentry->d_parent.
|

Just be careful not to assume that fetching it more than once will yield

the same value - in RCU mode it could change under you.

->atomic_open() calling conventions have changed. Gone is ``int *opened``,

along with FILE_OPENED/FILE_CREATED. In place of those we have

FMODE_OPENED/FMODE_CREATED, set in file->f_mode. Additionally, return
|
||||
value for 'called finish_no_open(), open it yourself' case has become
|
||||
0, not 1. Since finish_no_open() itself is returning 0 now, that part
|

does not need any changes in ->atomic_open() instances.

alloc_file() has become static now; two wrappers are to be used instead.
|
||||
alloc_file_pseudo(inode, vfsmount, name, flags, ops) is for the cases
|
||||
when dentry needs to be created; that's the majority of old alloc_file()
|
||||
users. Calling conventions: on success a reference to new struct file
|
||||
is returned and callers reference to inode is subsumed by that. On
|
||||
failure, ERR_PTR() is returned and no caller's references are affected,
|
||||
so the caller needs to drop the inode reference it held.
|
||||
alloc_file_clone(file, flags, ops) does not affect any caller's references.
|
||||
On success you get a new struct file sharing the mount/dentry with the
|
||||
original, on failure - ERR_PTR().

if (IS_ERR(inode))
|

return ERR_CAST(inode);
|
||||
return d_splice_alias(inode, dentry);
|
||||
|
||||
don't need to bother with the check - d_splice_alias() will do the
|
||||
right thing when given ERR_PTR(...) as inode. Moreover, passing NULL
|
||||
inode to d_splice_alias() will also do the right thing (equivalent of
|
||||
d_add(dentry, NULL); return NULL;), so that kind of special cases
|
||||
also doesn't need a separate treatment.
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
**strongly recommended**
|
||||
|
||||
take the RCU-delayed parts of ->destroy_inode() into a new method -
|
||||
->free_inode(). If ->destroy_inode() becomes empty - all the better,
|
||||
just get rid of it. Synchronous work (e.g. the stuff that can't
|
||||
be done from an RCU callback, or any WARN_ON() where we want the
|
||||
stack trace) *might* be movable to ->evict_inode(); however,
|
||||

done by ->alloc_inode(). IOW, if it's cleaning up the stuff that
|
||||
might have accumulated over the life of in-core inode, ->evict_inode()
|

might be a fit.
|
||||
|
||||
Rules for inode destruction:
|
||||
|
||||
* if ->destroy_inode() is non-NULL, it gets called
|
||||
* if ->free_inode() is non-NULL, it gets scheduled by call_rcu()
|
||||
* combination of NULL ->destroy_inode and NULL ->free_inode is
|
||||
treated as NULL/free_inode_nonrcu, to preserve the compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the callback (be it via ->free_inode() or explicit call_rcu()
|
||||
in ->destroy_inode()) is *NOT* ordered wrt superblock destruction;
|
||||
as the matter of fact, the superblock and all associated structures
|
||||
might be already gone. The filesystem driver is guaranteed to be still
|
||||
there, but that's it. Freeing memory in the callback is fine; doing
|
||||
more than that is possible, but requires a lot of care and is best
|
||||
avoided.

DCACHE_RCUACCESS is gone; having an RCU delay on dentry freeing is the

default. DCACHE_NORCU opts out, and only d_alloc_pseudo() has any

business doing so.

d_alloc_pseudo() is internal-only; uses outside of alloc_file_pseudo() are

very suspect (and won't work in modules). Such uses are very likely to

be misspelled d_alloc_anon().
