Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to
estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by
adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is
pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today.
It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page
cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does
not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction
of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files.
Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload,
without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree,
Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low"
watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo.
However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not
be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the
amount of free memory.
It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If
things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

The ramfs is always built in. It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.
Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of the initcall.

On fail path alloc_super() calls destroy_super(), which issues a warning
if the sb's s_mounts list is not empty, in particular if it has not been
initialized. That said s_mounts must be initialized in alloc_super()
before any possible failure, but currently it is initialized close to
the end of the function leading to a useless warning dumped to log if

The compat_do_readv_writev() function was doing a verify_area on the

in a -1 for nr_segs, for instance, the function should return an EINVAL.
However, it returns a EFAULT because the verify_area fails because it is
checking an array of size MAX_UINT. The check is bogus, anyway, because
the next check, compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), will do all the
necessary checking, anyway. The non-compat do_readv_writev() function
doesn't do this check, so I think it's safe to just remove the code.

Attempt to use the new DLM operations. If it is not supported, use the
traditional ocfs2_controld.
To exchange ocfs2 versioning, we use the LVB of the version dlm lock.
It first attempts to take the lock in EX mode (non-blocking). If
successful (which means it is the first mount), it writes the version
number and downconverts to PR lock. If it is unsuccessful, it reads the
version from the lock.
If this becomes the standard (with o2cb as well), it could simplify
userspace tools to check if the filesystem is mounted on other nodes.
Dan: Since ocfs2_protocol_version are two u8 values, the additional
checks with LONG* don't make sense.

We perform this because the DLM recovery callbacks will require the

dlm_new_lockspace() is updated (in the last patch of the series).
Before calling dlm_new_lockspace(), we need the structure ready for the

reason we allocate ocfs2_live_connection beforehand in user_connect().

These are the callbacks called by the fs/dlm code in case the membership
changes. If there is a failure while/during calling any of these, the
DLM creates a new membership and relays to the rest of the nodes.
- recover_prep() is called when DLM understands a node is down.
- recover_slot() is called once all nodes have acknowledged
recover_prep and recovery can begin.
- recover_done() is called once the recovery is complete. It returns
the new membership.

This is an effort of removing ocfs2_controld.pcmk and getting ocfs2 DLM
handling up to the times with respect to DLM (>=4.0.1) and corosync
(2.3.x). AFAIK, cman also is being phased out for a unified corosync
cluster stack.
fs/dlm performs all the functions with respect to fencing and node
management and provides the API's to do so for ocfs2. For all future
references, DLM stands for fs/dlm code.
The advantages are:
+ No need to run an additional userspace daemon (ocfs2_controld)
+ No controld device handling and controld protocol
+ Shifting responsibilities of node management to DLM layer
For backward compatibility, we are keeping the controld handling code.
Once enough time has passed we can remove a significant portion of the
code. This was tested by using the kernel with changes on older
unmodified tools. The kernel used ocfs2_controld as expected, and
displayed the appropriate warning message.
This feature requires modification in the userspace ocfs2-tools. The
changes can be found at: https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools branch:
nocontrold Currently, not many checks are present in the userspace code,
but that would change soon.

Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each
notification event and links this event into all interested notification
groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification
groups are interested in the event. However the need for event
structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure
so the result is often higher memory consumption.
Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with
outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors
with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot
be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for
inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify
framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of
fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file
descriptors from notified files.
This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event
structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines
removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example
on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus
additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each
subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each
inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event
consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less
memory unless file names are long and there are several groups
interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event
fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file
names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless
there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event.
The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is
used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put().
Since ba7443bc65 ("sysfs, kernfs: implement
kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root()
to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on
kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that
kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized.
This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without
going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one()
before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will
try to dereference NULL parent.
Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from
kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of
@root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new
node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from
kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node,
__kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the
parent is used in that case.
This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its
parent associated and thus can be put.

possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.
The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:
nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean
Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0
NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660)
The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.
This is what happens:
1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
allocates a new segment
6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
8. Loop around and the collection starts again
9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
segment and causes file system corruption
This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If
nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments
the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

When kernfs_seq_start() fails to obtain an active reference, it
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). kernfs_seq_stop() is then invoked with the
error pointer value; however, it still proceeds to invoke
kernfs_put_active() on the node leading to unbalanced put.
If kernfs_seq_stop() is called even after active ref failure, it
should skip invocation of @ops->seq_stop() and put_active.
Unfortunately, this is a bit complicated because active ref failure
isn't the only thing which may fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
@ops->seq_start/next() may also fail with the error value and
kernfs_seq_stop() doesn't have a way to tell apart those failures.
Work it around by factoring out the active part of kernfs_seq_stop()
into kernfs_seq_stop_active() and invoking it directly if
@ops->seq_start/next() fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and updating
kernfs_seq_stop() to skip kernfs_seq_stop_active() on
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). This is a bit nasty but ensures that the active put
is skipped iff get_active failed in kernfs_seq_start().
tj: This was originally committed as d92d2e6bd7 but got reverted by
683bb2761f along with other kernfs self removal patches.
However, this one is an independent fix and shouldn't have been
reverted together. Reinstate the change. Sorry about the mess.

895a068a52 ("kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is
deactivated but not removed") added "struct kernfs_root *root =
kernfs_root(kn);" at the head of the function; however, the parameter
@kn is checked for later implying that the function may be called with
NULL. This means that we may end up invoking kernfs_root() with NULL
which will oops. None of the existing users invokes removal with NULL
@kn, so this bug doesn't actually trigger.
We can relocate kernfs_root() invocation after NULL check; however,
allowing NULL param tends to cause more confusion than actually
helping anything. As there's no existing user, let's remove the
spurious NULL check.
This bug was detected by smatch.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete
nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs
active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active
reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to
drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock
as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself
is sitting on top of.
This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using
sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous.
While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks
synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered
the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even
started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal
operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects
the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename
onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation
reliable.
The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous.
All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation
which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch
implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver
core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file
operations, drops the active ref and deactivates using
__kernfs_deactivate_self(), removes the self node, and restores active
ref to the dead node using __kernfs_reactivate_self() so that the ref
is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes
an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the
active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't
confuse the deactivation path.
This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal
removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use
kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can
invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal
removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal
deletion path will simply be ignored.
This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of
sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations -
even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run
only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return
value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return
value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of
kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation
which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes
and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of
kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior
even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 >
delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is
completed by one of the instances.
v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it.

This patch implements four functions to manipulate deactivation state
- deactivate, reactivate and the _self suffixed pair. A new fields
kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested
deactivations are handled properly. kernfs_node->hash is moved so
that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the
size of kernfs_node.
A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during
removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the
said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency. This
function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing
deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical
section.
This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self().

Currently, kernfs_get_active() fails if the target node is
deactivated. This is fine as a node always gets removed after
deactivation; however, we're gonna add reactivation so the assumption
won't hold. It'd be incorrect for kernfs_get_active() to fail for a
node which was deactivated only temporarily.
This patch makes kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated
but not removed. If the node gets reactivated (not yet implemented),
it will be retried and succeed. If the node gets removed, it will be
woken up and fail.

kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.
This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().
* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active
ref and kernfs_mutex itself. kernfs_get/put_active() and
kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
all users.
* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release
kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
it.

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.
It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from
kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove(). The function may be
called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.
We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may
be removed inbetween by someone else. kernfs_unlink_sibling() is
updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return
accordingly. __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking
cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node.
KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into
__kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily.
While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the
function name.
v2: Rewritten to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path. HAS_MMAP
test relocated.
