fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it

2018-04-06T13:05:14+00:00

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.

The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie

2018-04-04T12:41:28+00:00

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:

 (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated.  This
     can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
     available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

 (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
     don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

 (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
     As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
     need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

 (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
     available.  This allows:

     (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
     	 rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

     (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
     	 cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

cachefiles: Fix attempt to read i_blocks after deleting file [ver #2]

2016-09-27T22:31:29+00:00

An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon
how much space it's making available.

The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls
cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object()
because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the
file at that filename until after it has been deleted.  This means that
d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it.

To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
supply the number of blocks freed up.

Without this, the following oops may occur:

FS-Cache: make check_consistency callback return int

2016-06-01T08:29:39+00:00

__fscache_check_consistency() calls check_consistency() callback
and return the callback's return value. But the return type of
check_consistency() is bool. So __fscache_check_consistency()
return 1 if the cache is inconsistent. This is inconsistent with

CacheFiles: Provide read-and-reset release counters for cachefilesd

2016-02-01T17:30:10+00:00

Provide read-and-reset objects- and blocks-released counters for cachefilesd
to use to work out whether there's anything new that can be culled.

One of the problems cachefilesd has is that if all the objects in the cache
are pinned by inodes lying dormant in the kernel inode cache, there isn't
anything for it to cull.  In such a case, it just spins around walking the
filesystem tree and scanning for something to cull.  This eats up a lot of
CPU time.

By telling cachefilesd if there have been any releases, the daemon can
sleep until there is the possibility of something to do.

cachefilesd finds this information by the following means:

 (1) When the control fd is read, the kernel presents a list of values of
     interest.  "freleased=N" and "breleased=N" are added to this list to
     indicate the number of files released and number of blocks released
     since the last read call.  At this point the counters are reset.

 (2) POLLIN is signalled if the number of files released becomes greater
     than 0.

Note that by 'released' it just means that the kernel has released its
interest in those files for the moment, not necessarily that the files
should be deleted from the cache.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held

Cachefiles: Fix up scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions

2015-02-22T16:38:41+00:00

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack
thereof) in cachefiles:

 (1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
     it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.

 (2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in
     cachefiles.
