The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().

list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent
modification of the list. 6754af6 introduced a race in sb walking.
list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in
the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently
follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next
for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is
dropped, n may be deleted.

We set the "it's dead, don't mount on it" flag _and_ do not remove it if
we turn the damn thing negative and leave it around. And if it goes
positive afterwards, well...
Fortunately, there's only one place where that needs to be caught:
only d_delete() can turn the sucker negative without immediately freeing
it; all other places that can lead to ->d_iput() call are followed by
unconditionally freeing struct dentry in question. So the fix is obvious:

might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the
need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are
checked.
It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not
depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to
detect a problem.
Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the
FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning
displays the real origin and not sched.h
Changes in v2:
- Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which
may call cond_resched()
- Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line
couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and
not __cond_resched() itself.

- Also propagate this __might_sleep() pull up to

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.
With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.
I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.
Performance is a feature...

The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all
users, and it's name is not very descriptive either.
Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode
reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL
pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations.
Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in
libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers
to d_obtain_alias.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0

[Summary]
Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft
lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem.
Previously I posted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590
[Descriptions]
- background
dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced.
dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are
released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory.
- the problem
When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly
under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given
superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are
many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks.
IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans
unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan
500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused
dentries on other superblocks.
In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink
unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on
superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS
mounting took 1 min on some system in use.
* : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by
this problem.
100,000,000 is possible number on large systems.
Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in
reasonable manner.
- How to fix
I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock
unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to
reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2).
1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318
2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320
Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS
mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But
this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to
make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of
dentries to scan on this sb based on following way
number of dentries to scan on this sb =
count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine)
- ToDo
- I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests.
- When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same
superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone
away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes
unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think
this happens very rarely.
- Test Results
Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

The path that __d_path() computes can become slightly inconsistent when it
races with mount operations: it grabs the vfsmount_lock when traversing mount
points but immediately drops it again, only to re-grab it when it reaches the
next mount point. The result is that the filename computed is not always
consisent, and the file may never have had that name. (This is unlikely, but
still possible.)
Fix this by grabbing the vfsmount_lock for the whole duration of
__d_path().
