Currently d_move(from, to) does the following:
* name/parent of from <- old name/parent of to, from hashed there
* to is unhashed
* name of to is preserved
* if from used to be detached, to gets detached
* if from used to be attached, parent of to <- old parent of from.
That's both user-visibly bogus and complicates reasoning a lot.
Much saner semantics would be
* name/parent of from <- name/parent of to, from hashed there.
* to is unhashed
* name/parent of to is unchanged.
The price, of course, is that old parent of from might lose a reference.
However,
* all potentially cross-directory callers of d_move() have both
parents pinned directly; typically, dentries themselves are grabbed
only after we have grabbed and locked both parents. IOW, the decrement
of old parent's refcount in case of d_move() won't reach zero.
* __d_move() from d_splice_alias() is done to detached alias.
No refcount decrements in that case
* __d_move() from __d_unalias() *can* get the refcount to zero.
So let's grab a reference to alias' old parent before calling __d_unalias()
and dput() it after we'd dropped rename_lock.
That does make d_splice_alias() potentially blocking. However, it has
no callers in non-sleepable contexts (and the case where we'd grown
that dget/dput pair is _very_ rare, so performance is not an issue).
Another thing that needs adjustment is unlocking in the end of __d_move();
folded it in. And cleaned the remnants of bogus ordering from the
"lock them in the beginning" counterpart - it's never been right and
now (well, for 7 years now) we have that thing always serialized on
rename_lock anyway.

shrink_dentry_list() holds dentry->d_lock and needs to acquire
dentry->d_inode->i_lock. This cannot be done with a spin_lock()
operation because it's the reverse of the regular lock order.
To avoid ABBA deadlocks it is done with a trylock loop.
Trylock loops are problematic in two scenarios:
1) PREEMPT_RT converts spinlocks to 'sleeping' spinlocks, which are
preemptible. As a consequence the i_lock holder can be preempted
by a higher priority task. If that task executes the trylock loop
it will do so forever and live lock.
2) In virtual machines trylock loops are problematic as well. The
VCPU on which the i_lock holder runs can be scheduled out and a
task on a different VCPU can loop for a whole time slice. In the
worst case this can lead to starvation. Commits 47be61845c
("fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()") and 046b961b45
("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's d_lock earlier") are
addressing exactly those symptoms.
Avoid the trylock loop by using dentry_kill(). When pruning ancestors,
the same code applies that is used to kill a dentry in dput(). This
also has the benefit that the locking order is now the same. First
the inode is locked, then the parent.

In case when trylock in there fails, deal with it directly in
dentry_kill(). Note that in cases when we drop and retake
->d_lock, we need to recheck whether to retain the dentry.
Another thing is that dropping/retaking ->d_lock might have
ended up with negative dentry turning into positive; that,
of course, can happen only once...

In case of trylock failure don't re-add to the list - drop the locks
and carefully get them in the right order. For shrink_dentry_list(),
somebody having grabbed a reference to dentry means that we can
kick it off-list, so if we find dentry being modified under us we
don't need to play silly buggers with retries anyway - off the list
it is.
The locking logics taken out into a helper of its own; lock_parent()
is no longer used for dentries that can be killed under us.

If d_alloc_parallel runs concurrently with __d_add, it is possible for
d_alloc_parallel to continuously retry whilst i_dir_seq has been
incremented to an odd value by __d_add:
CPU0:
__d_add
n = start_dir_add(dir);
cmpxchg(&dir->i_dir_seq, n, n + 1) == n
CPU1:
d_alloc_parallel
retry:
seq = smp_load_acquire(&parent->d_inode->i_dir_seq) & ~1;
hlist_bl_lock(b);
bit_spin_lock(0, (unsigned long *)b); // Always succeeds
CPU0:
__d_lookup_done(dentry)
hlist_bl_lock
bit_spin_lock(0, (unsigned long *)b); // Never succeeds
CPU1:
if (unlikely(parent->d_inode->i_dir_seq != seq)) {
hlist_bl_unlock(b);
goto retry;
}
Since the simple bit_spin_lock used to implement hlist_bl_lock does not
provide any fairness guarantees, then CPU1 can starve CPU0 of the lock
and prevent it from reaching end_dir_add(dir), therefore CPU1 cannot
exit its retry loop because the sequence number always has the bottom
bit set.
This patch resolves the livelock by not taking hlist_bl_lock in
d_alloc_parallel if the sequence counter is odd, since any subsequent
masked comparison with i_dir_seq will fail anyway.

In case when dentry passed to lock_parent() is protected from freeing only
by the fact that it's on a shrink list and trylock of parent fails, we
could get hit by __dentry_kill() (and subsequent dentry_kill(parent))
between unlocking dentry and locking presumed parent. We need to recheck
that dentry is alive once we lock both it and parent *and* postpone
rcu_read_unlock() until after that point. Otherwise we could return
a pointer to struct dentry that already is rcu-scheduled for freeing, with
->d_lock held on it; caller's subsequent attempt to unlock it can end
up with memory corruption.

Merge KASAN word-at-a-time fixups from Andrey Ryabinin.
The word-at-a-time optimizations have caused headaches for KASAN, since
the whole point is that we access byte streams in bigger chunks, and
KASAN can be unhappy about the potential extra access at the end of the
string.
We used to have a horrible hack in dcache, and then people got
complaints from the strscpy() case. This fixes it all up properly, by
adding an explicit helper for the "access byte stream one word at a
time" case.

fs: dcache: Revert "manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports"

dentry_string_cmp() performs the word-at-a-time reads from 'cs' and may
read slightly more than it was requested in kmallac(). Normally this
would make KASAN to report out-of-bounds access, but this was
workarounded by commit df4c0e36f1 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison
dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports").
This workaround is not perfect, since it allows out-of-bounds access to
dentry's name for all the code, not just in dentry_string_cmp().
So it would be better to use read_word_at_a_time() instead and revert
commit df4c0e36f1.

d_move() will call __d_drop() and then __d_rehash()
on the dentry being moved. This creates a small window
when the dentry appears to be unhashed. Many tests
of d_unhashed() are made under ->d_lock and so are safe
from racing with this window, but some aren't.
In particular, getcwd() calls d_unlinked() (which calls
d_unhashed()) without d_lock protection, so it can race.
This races has been seen in practice with lustre, which uses d_move() as
part of name lookup. See:
https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-9735
It could race with a regular rename(), and result in ENOENT instead
of either the 'before' or 'after' name.
The race can be demonstrated with a simple program which
has two threads, one renaming a directory back and forth
while another calls getcwd() within that directory: it should never
fail, but does. See:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9455345/
We could fix this race by taking d_lock and rechecking when
d_unhashed() reports true. Alternately when can remove the window,
which is the approach this patch takes.
___d_drop() is introduce which does *not* clear d_hash.pprev
so the dentry still appears to be hashed. __d_drop() calls
___d_drop(), then clears d_hash.pprev.
__d_move() now uses ___d_drop() and only clears d_hash.pprev
when not rehashing.

The original purpose of the per-superblock d_anon list was to
keep disconnected dentries in the cache between consecutive
requests to the NFS server. Dentries can be disconnected if
a client holds a file open and repeatedly performs IO on it,
and if the server drops the dentry, whether due to memory
pressure, server restart, or "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".
This purpose was thwarted by commit 75a6f82a0d ("freeing unlinked
file indefinitely delayed") which caused disconnected dentries
to be freed as soon as their refcount reached zero.
This means that, when a dentry being used by nfsd gets disconnected, a
new one needs to be allocated for every request (unless requests
overlap). As the dentry has no name, no parent, and no children,
there is little of value to cache. As small memory allocations are
typically fast (from per-cpu free lists) this likely has little cost.
This means that the original purpose of s_anon is no longer relevant:
there is no longer any need to keep disconnected dentries on a list so
they appear to be hashed.
However, s_anon now has a new use. When you mount an NFS filesystem,
the dentry stored in s_root is just a placebo. The "real" root dentry
is allocated using d_obtain_root() and so it kept on the s_anon list.
I don't know the reason for this, but suspect it related to NFSv4
where a mount of "server:/some/path" require NFS to look up the root
filehandle on the server, then walk down "/some" and "/path" to get
the filehandle to mount.
Whatever the reason, NFS depends on the s_anon list and on
shrink_dcache_for_umount() pruning all dentries on this list. So we
cannot simply remove s_anon.
We could just leave the code unchanged, but apart from that being
potentially confusing, the (unfair) bit-spin-lock which protects
s_anon can become a bottle neck when lots of disconnected dentries are
being created.
So this patch renames s_anon to s_roots, and stops storing
disconnected dentries on the list. Only dentries obtained with
d_obtain_root() are now stored on this list. There are many fewer of
these (only NFS and NILFS2 use the call, and only during filesystem
mount) so contention on the bit-lock will not be a problem.
Possibly an alternate solution should be found for NFS and NILFS2, but
that would require understanding their needs first.

The code in __d_alloc() carefully orders filling in the NUL character
of the name (and the length, hash, and the name itself) with assigning
of the name itself. However, prepend_name() does not order the accesses
to the ->name and ->len fields, other than on TSO systems. This commit
therefore replaces prepend_name()'s READ_ONCE() of ->name with an
smp_load_acquire(), which orders against the subsequent READ_ONCE() of
->len. Because READ_ONCE() now incorporates smp_read_barrier_depends(),
prepend_name()'s smp_read_barrier_depends() is removed. Finally,
to save a line, the smp_wmb()/store pair in __d_alloc() is replaced
by smp_store_release().

consider KASan as a suitable replacement).
The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.
Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.
This patch (of 4):
Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the dcache code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

It's not hard to trigger a bunch of d_invalidate() on the same
dentry in parallel. They end up fighting each other - any
dentry picked for removal by one will be skipped by the rest
and we'll go for the next iteration through the entire
subtree, even if everything is being skipped. Morevoer, we
immediately go back to scanning the subtree. The only thing
we really need is to dissolve all mounts in the subtree and
as soon as we've nothing left to do, we can just unhash the

By default we set DCACHE_REFERENCED and I_REFERENCED on any dentry or
inode we create. This is problematic as this means that it takes two
trips through the LRU for any of these objects to be reclaimed,
regardless of their actual lifetime. With enough pressure from these
caches we can easily evict our working set from page cache with single
use objects. So instead only set *REFERENCED if we've already been
added to the LRU list. This means that we've been touched since the
first time we were accessed, and so more likely to need to hang out in
cache.
To illustrate this issue I wrote the following scripts
https://github.com/josefbacik/debug-scripts/tree/master/cache-pressure
on my test box. It is a single socket 4 core CPU with 16gib of RAM and
I tested on an Intel 2tib NVME drive. The cache-pressure.sh script
creates a new file system and creates 2 6.5gib files in order to take up
13gib of the 16gib of ram with pagecache. Then it runs a test program
that reads these 2 files in a loop, and keeps track of how often it has
to read bytes for each loop. On an ideal system with no pressure we
should have to read 0 bytes indefinitely. The second thing this script
does is start a fs_mark job that creates a ton of 0 length files,
putting pressure on the system with slab only allocations. On exit the
script prints out how many bytes were read by the read-file program.
The results are as follows
Without patch:
/mnt/btrfs-test/reads/file1: total read during loops 27262988288
/mnt/btrfs-test/reads/file2: total read during loops 27262976000

Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient
until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire. At which
point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on
the same hash chain to happen on the same time.
Kristen Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> reported:
> This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint
> attempt to free the same mountpoint. This occurs because some callers

Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem
to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table.
I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root
(instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced
new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table
lookup and addition under the mount_lock. The introduction of get_mounptoint
ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint
hashtable.
d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not
already set. This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of
DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry
happens exactly once.

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.
That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.
It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.
Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode
belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage:
vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform
copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument.
file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the
underlying inode.
vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real()
with a zero inode would have worked just as well here.
This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real()
by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter.

instead of late.
A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.
Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

d_walk() relies upon the tree not getting rearranged under it without
rename_lock being touched. And we do grab rename_lock around the
places that change the tree topology. Unfortunately, branch reordering
is just as bad from d_walk() POV and we have two places that do it
without touching rename_lock - one in handling of cursors (for ramfs-style
directories) and another in autofs. autofs one is a separate story; this
commit deals with the cursors.
* mark cursor dentries explicitly at allocation time
* make __dentry_kill() leave ->d_child.next pointing to the next
non-cursor sibling, making sure that it won't be moved around unnoticed
before the parent is relocked on ascend-to-parent path in d_walk().
* make d_walk() skip cursors explicitly; strictly speaking it's
not necessary (all callbacks we pass to d_walk() are no-ops on cursors),
but it makes analysis easier.

Ascend-to-parent logics in d_walk() depends on all encountered child
dentries not getting freed without an RCU delay. Unfortunately, in
quite a few cases it is not true, with hard-to-hit oopsable race as
the result.
Fortunately, the fix is simiple; right now the rule is "if it ever
been hashed, freeing must be delayed" and changing it to "if it
ever had a parent, freeing must be delayed" closes that hole and
covers all cases the old rule used to cover. Moreover, pipes and
sockets remain _not_ covered, so we do not introduce RCU delay in
the cases which are the reason for having that delay conditional
in the first place.

There is a lot of duplication between dentry_unlink_inode() and dentry_iput().
The only real difference is that dentry_unlink_inode() bumps ->d_seq and
dentry_iput() doesn't. The argument of the latter is known to have been
unhashed, so anybody who might've found it in RCU lookup would already be
doomed to a ->d_seq mismatch. And we want to avoid pointless smp_rmb() there.
This patch makes dentry_unlink_inode() bump ->d_seq only for hashed dentries.
It's safe (d_delete() calls that sucker only if we are holding the only
reference to dentry, so rehash is not going to happen) and it allows
to use dentry_unlink_inode() in __dentry_kill() and get rid of dentry_iput().
The interesting question here is profiling; it *is* a hot path, and extra
conditional jumps in there might or might not be painful.

fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")
The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
multipliers.
The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those
patches are last in the series.
- Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.
The patch in commit 0fed3ac866 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!)
- Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This
would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.
- Sort out partial_name_hash().
The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things:
- fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
- fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes
- Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other
than full_name_hash"
Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I
learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)
On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
the H8/300 world"

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
for that.
(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)
It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
Other uses in the next patch.
full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
be consistent with hash_name().
2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want
to make them worry about corner cases.

If we *do* run into an in-lookup match, we need to wait for it to
cease being in-lookup. Fortunately, we do have unused space in
in-lookup dentries - d_lru is never looked at until it stops being
in-lookup.
So we can stash a pointer to wait_queue_head from stack frame of
the caller of ->lookup(). Some precautions are needed while
waiting, but it's not that hard - we do hold a reference to dentry
we are waiting for, so it can't go away. If it's found to be
in-lookup the wait_queue_head is still alive and will remain so
at least while ->d_lock is held. Moreover, the condition we
are waiting for becomes true at the same point where everything
on that wq gets woken up, so we can just add ourselves to the
queue once.
d_alloc_parallel() gets a pointer to wait_queue_head_t from its
caller; lookup_slow() adjusted, d_add_ci() taught to use
d_alloc_parallel() if the dentry passed to it happens to be
in-lookup one (i.e. if it's been called from the parallel lookup).
That's pretty much it - all that remains is to switch ->i_mutex
to rwsem and have lookup_slow() take it shared.

We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup
dentry with matching parent/name. Right now it's impossible,
but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts
will appear.
Add a secondary hash for locating those. Hash chains go through
the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore.
Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications -
with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong
chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are
buggered once it's removed from the chain. On the other hand,
the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up
adding to the chain anyway. That allows us to avoid bothering with
->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until
removed from chain.
New helper: d_alloc_parallel(). Right now it allocates, verifies
that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup
hash.
Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's
been found) or new dentry. In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for
now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting
for ongoing lookup to finish. Note that in-lookup matches won't be
possible until we actually go for shared locking.
lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel().
Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to
review. All this machinery will start doing something useful only
when we go for shared locking; it's just that the combination is
too large for my taste.

We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup
dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set.
One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through
both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any
time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through
something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly.
So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch
out for the following scenario:
* we verify that there's no hashed match
* existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process
* we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide
that everything's fine.
Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times
we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash)
something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into
* read the counter
* do dcache lookup
* if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches
* if there had been none of those either, check if the
counter has changed; repeat if it has.
The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare
space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe),
so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story.
We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in
terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to
grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but...
Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it
might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to
get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even.
This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be
added in the next commit.

marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them
to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when
* __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not.
* __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via
__d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place
* in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the
above. Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput()
or d_instantiate() while still marked such.
As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is
set, dentry will
* remain negative unhashed with positive refcount
* never have its ->d_alias looked at
* never have its ->d_lru looked at
* never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed
Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory.
With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to
* only exist when parent is locked shared
* at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of
names is according to ->d_compare())
* only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same
(parent,name)
Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll
only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series. The
reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review.
New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in
the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that
we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it
should cease to be such).

This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c923 ("overlayfs:
Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").
Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
mount/dentry.
This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
it's theirs.
Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
from the file. This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against
DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not
set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case).
In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the
underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file).
The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied
up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open
file comes from the lower dentry.
[*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to

- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately

the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.

i_lock is only needed until __d_find_any_alias calls dget on the alias
dentry. After that the reference to new ensures that dentry_kill and
d_delete will not remove the inode from the dentry, and remove the
dentry from the inode->d_entry list.
The inode i_lock came to be held over the the __d_move calls in
d_splice_alias through a series of introduction of locks with
increasing smaller scope. First it was the dcache_lock, then
it was the dcache_inode_lock, and finally inode->i_lock.
Furthermore inode->i_lock is not held over any other calls
to d_move or __d_move so it can not provide any meaningful
rename protection.

A rename can result in a dentry that by walking up d_parent
will never reach it's mnt_root. For lack of a better term
I call this an escaped path.
prepend_path is called by four different functions __d_path,
d_absolute_path, d_path, and getcwd.
__d_path only wants to see paths are connected to the root it passes
in. So __d_path needs prepend_path to return an error.
d_absolute_path similarly wants to see paths that are connected to
some root. Escaped paths are not connected to any mnt_root so
d_absolute_path needs prepend_path to return an error greater
than 1. So escaped paths will be treated like paths on lazily
unmounted mounts.
getcwd needs to prepend "(unreachable)" so getcwd also needs
prepend_path to return an error.
d_path is the interesting hold out. d_path just wants to print
something, and does not care about the weird cases. Which raises
the question what should be printed?
Given that <escaped_path>/<anything> should result in -ENOENT I
believe it is desirable for escaped paths to be printed as empty
paths. As there are not really any meaninful path components when
considered from the perspective of a mount tree.
So tweak prepend_path to return an empty path with an new error
code of 3 when it encounters an escaped path.

Normally opening a file, unlinking it and then closing will have
the inode freed upon close() (provided that it's not otherwise busy and
has no remaining links, of course). However, there's one case where that
does *not* happen. Namely, if you open it by fhandle with cold dcache,
then unlink() and close().
In normal case you get d_delete() in unlink(2) notice that dentry
is busy and unhash it; on the final dput() it will be forcibly evicted from
dcache, triggering iput() and inode removal. In this case, though, we end
up with *two* dentries - disconnected (created by open-by-fhandle) and
regular one (used by unlink()). The latter will have its reference to inode
dropped just fine, but the former will not - it's considered hashed (it
is on the ->s_anon list), so it will stay around until the memory pressure
will finally do it in. As the result, we have the final iput() delayed
indefinitely. It's trivial to reproduce -
void flush_dcache(void)
{
system("mount -o remount,rw /");
}
static char buf[20 * 1024 * 1024];
main()
{
int fd;
union {
struct file_handle f;
char buf[MAX_HANDLE_SZ];
} x;
int m;
x.f.handle_bytes = sizeof(x);
chdir("/root");
mkdir("foo", 0700);
fd = open("foo/bar", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0600);
close(fd);
name_to_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, "foo/bar", &x.f, &m, 0);
flush_dcache();
fd = open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &x.f, O_RDWR);
unlink("foo/bar");
write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
system("df ."); /* 20Mb eaten */
close(fd);
system("df ."); /* should've freed those 20Mb */
flush_dcache();
system("df ."); /* should be the same as #2 */
}
will spit out something like
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 322023 303843 1131 100% /
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 322023 303843 1131 100% /
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 322023 283282 21692 93% /
- inode gets freed only when dentry is finally evicted (here we trigger
than by remount; normally it would've happened in response to memory
pressure hell knows when).
