While deleting the xattrs of an inode, we hold the reiserfs lock
and grab the inode->i_mutex of the targeted inode and the root
private xattr directory.
Later on, we may relax the reiserfs lock for various reasons, this
creates inverted dependencies.
We can remove the reiserfs lock -> i_mutex dependency by relaxing
the former before calling open_xa_dir(). This is fine because the
lookup and creation of xattr private directories done in
open_xa_dir() are covered by the targeted inode mutexes. And deeper
operations in the tree are still done under the write lock.
This fixes the following lockdep report:

When we relax the reiserfs lock to avoid creating unwanted
dependencies against others locks while grabbing these,
we want to ensure it has not been taken recursively, otherwise
the lock won't be really relaxed. Only its depth will be decreased.
The unwanted dependency would then actually happen.
To prevent from that, add a reiserfs_lock_check_recursive() call
in the places that need it.

Commit 500f5a0bf5
(reiserfs: Fix possible recursive lock) fixed a vmalloc under reiserfs
lock that triggered a lockdep warning because of a
IN-FS-RECLAIM <-> RECLAIM-FS-ON locking dependency inversion.
But this patch has ommitted another vmalloc call in the same path
that allocates the journal. Relax the lock for this one too.

It can happen that write does not use all the blocks allocated in
write_begin either because of some filesystem error (like ENOSPC) or
because page with data to write has been removed from memory. We truncate
these blocks so that we don't have dangling blocks beyond i_size.

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

When we were using the bkl, we didn't care about dependencies against
other locks, but the mutex conversion created new ones, which is why
we have reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(), which unlocks the reiserfs lock
before acquiring another mutex.
But this trick actually fails if we have acquired the reiserfs lock
recursively, as we try to unlock it to acquire the new mutex without
inverted dependency, but we eventually only decrease its depth.
This happens in the case of a nested inode creation/deletion.
Say we have no space left on the device, we create an inode
and tak the lock but fail to create its entry, then we release the
inode using iput(), which calls reiserfs_delete_inode() that takes
the reiserfs lock recursively. The path eventually ends up in
journal_begin() where we try to take the journal safely but we
fail because of the reiserfs lock recursion:

This is actually fine for two reasons: we call vmalloc at mount time
then it's not in the swapping out path. Also the reiserfs lock can be
acquired recursively, but since its implementation depends on a mutex,
it's hard and not necessary worth it to teach that to lockdep.
The lock is useless at mount time anyway, at least until we replay the
journal. But let's remove it from this path later as this needs
more thinking and is a sensible change.
For now we can just relax the lock around vmalloc,

GFP_ATOMIC was used in reiserfs_get_block to not lose the Bkl so that
nobody can modify the tree in the middle of its work. Now that we
kicked out the bkl, we can use a more friendly flag. We use GFP_NOFS

We had a watchdog in _get_block_create_0() that jumped to a fixup retry
path in case the bkl got relaxed while calling kmap().
This is not necessary anymore since we now have a reiserfs lock that is
not implicitly relaxed while sleeping.

The reiserfs ioctl path doesn't need the big kernel lock anymore , now
that the filesystem synchronizes through its own lock.
We can then turn reiserfs_ioctl() into an unlocked_ioctl callback.

Reiserfs uses the ioctl callback for its file operations, which means
that its ioctl path is still locked by the bkl, this was synchronizing
with the rest of the filsystem operations. We have changed that by
locking it with the new reiserfs lock but we do that only from the
compat_ioctl callback.
Fix that by locking reiserfs_ioctl() everytime.

While creating the reiserfs workqueue during the journal
initialization, we are holding the reiserfs lock, but
create_workqueue() also holds the cpu_add_remove_lock, creating
then the following dependency:
- reiserfs lock -> cpu_add_remove_lock
But we also have the following existing dependencies:
- mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs lock
- cpu_add_remove_lock -> cpu_hotplug.lock -> slub_lock -> sysfs_mutex
The merged dependency chain then becomes:
- mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs lock -> cpu_add_remove_lock ->
cpu_hotplug.lock -> slub_lock -> sysfs_mutex
But when we fill a dir entry in sysfs_readir(), we are holding the
sysfs_mutex and we also might fault while copying the directory entry
to the user, leading to the following dependency:
- sysfs_mutex -> mm->mmap_sem
The end result is then a lock inversion between sysfs_mutex and
mm->mmap_sem, as reported in the following lockdep warning:

On reiserfs mount path, we take the reiserfs lock and while
initializing the journal, we open the device, taking the
bdev->bd_mutex. Then rescan_partition() may signal the change
to sysfs.
We have then the following dependency:
reiserfs_lock -> bd_mutex -> sysfs_mutex
Later, while entering reiserfs_readpage() after a pagefault in an
mmaped reiserfs file, we are holding the mm->mmap_sem, and we are going
to take the reiserfs lock too.
We have then the following dependency:
mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs_lock
which, expanded with the previous dependency gives us:
mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs_lock -> bd_mutex -> sysfs_mutex
Now while entering the sysfs readdir path, we are holding the
sysfs_mutex. And when we copy a directory entry to the user buffer, we
might fault and then take the mm->mmap_sem lock. Which leads to the
circular locking dependency reported.
We can fix that by relaxing the reiserfs lock during the call to
journal_init_dev(), which is the place where we open the mounted
device.
This is fine to relax the lock here because we are in the begining of
the reiserfs mount path and there is nothing to protect at this time,
the journal is not intialized.
We just keep this lock around for paranoid reasons.

reiserfs_mkdir() acquires the reiserfs lock, assuming it has been called
from the dir inodes callbacks, without the lock held.
But it can also be called from other internal sites such as
reiserfs_xattr_init() which already holds the lock. This recursive
locking leads to further wrong assumptions. For example, later calls
to reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() won't actually unlock the reiserfs lock

When do_balance() balances the tree, a trick is performed to
provide the ability for other tree writers/readers to check whether
do_balance() is executing concurrently (requires CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK).
This is done to protect concurrent accesses to the tree. The trick
is the following:
When do_balance is called, a unique global variable called cur_tb
takes a pointer to the current tree to be rebalanced.
Once do_balance finishes its work, cur_tb takes the NULL value.
Then, concurrent tree readers/writers just have to check the value
of cur_tb to ensure do_balance isn't executing concurrently.
If it is, then it proves that schedule() occured on do_balance(),
which then relaxed the bkl that protected the tree.
Now that the bkl has be turned into a mutex, this check is still
fine even though do_balance() becomes preemptible: the write lock
will not be automatically released on schedule(), so the tree is
still protected.
But this is only fine if we have a single reiserfs mountpoint.
Indeed, because the bkl is a global lock, it didn't allowed
concurrent executions between a tree reader/writer in a mount point
and a do_balance() on another tree from another mountpoint.
So assuming all these readers/writers weren't supposed to be
reentrant, the current check now sometimes detect false positives with
the current per-superblock mutex which allows this reentrancy.
This patch keeps the concurrent tree accesses check but moves it
per superblock, so that only trees from a same mount point are
checked to be not accessed concurrently.

While searching a pathname, an inode mutex can be acquired
in do_lookup() which calls reiserfs_lookup() which in turn
acquires the write lock.
On the other side reiserfs_fill_super() can acquire the write_lock
and then call reiserfs_lookup_privroot() which can acquire an
inode mutex (the root of the mount point).
So we theoretically risk an AB - BA lock inversion that could lead
to a deadlock.
As for other lock dependencies found since the bkl to mutex
conversion, the fix is to use reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() which
drops the lock dependency to the write lock.

search_by_key() is the site which most requires the lock.
This is mostly because it is a very central function and also
because it releases/reaqcuires the write lock at least once each
time it is called.
Such release/reacquire creates a lot of contention in this place and
also opens more the window which let another thread changing the tree.
When it happens, the current path searching over the tree must be
retried from the beggining (the root) which is a wasteful and
time consuming recovery.
This patch factorizes two release/reacquire sequences:
- reading leaf nodes blocks
- reading current block
The latter immediately follows the former.
The whole sequence is safe as a single unlocked section because
we check just after if the tree has changed during these operations.

reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() is a hack to avoid any dependency between
an internal reiserfs mutex and the write lock, it has been proposed
to follow the old bkl logic.
The code does the following:
while (!mutex_trylock(m)) {
reiserfs_write_unlock(s);
schedule();
reiserfs_write_lock(s);
}
It then imitate the implicit behaviour of the lock when it was
a Bkl and hadn't such dependency:
mutex_lock(m) {
if (fastpath)
let's go
else {
wait_for_mutex() {
schedule() {
unlock_kernel()
reacquire_lock_kernel()
}
}
}
}
The problem is that by using such explicit schedule(), we don't
benefit of the adaptive mutex spinning on owner.
The logic in use now is:
reiserfs_write_unlock(s);
mutex_lock(m); // -> possible adaptive spinning
reiserfs_write_lock(s);

search_by_key() is a central function in reiserfs which searches
the patch in the fs tree from the root to a node given its key.
It is the function that is most requesting the write lock
because it's a path very often used.
Also we forget to release the lock while reading the next tree node,
making us holding the lock in a wasteful way.
Then we release the lock while reading the current node and its childs,
all-in-one. It should be safe because we have a reference to these
blocks and even if we read a block that will be concurrently changed,
we have an fs_changed check later that will make us retry the path from
the root.

reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might
be acquired recursively.
It's a particular problem because this function is called very often.
It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting
direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time.
Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on
schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have
locked in more than one depth.
The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try
to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really*
released before schedule().
Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not
create wasteful numerous contentions.

In this case it has to zero out these pointers to block numbers of

It can take some time, so a rescheduling() is performed between each
block processed. We can safely release the write lock while

reiserfs_dirty_inode() is the super_operations::dirty_inode() callback
of reiserfs. It can be called from different contexts where the write

But this function also grab the write lock (possibly recursively).
Subsequent release of the lock before sleep will actually not release

A B

This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from
reiserfs and is intended.
It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html
The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from
concurrent write accesses on the filesystem.
Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl:
- It can be acqquired recursively by a same task
- It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns
The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's
very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex.
- We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks
of the code.
- We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed
(schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and
reacquire our new lock explicitly.
Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other
resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected
starvations or deadlocks.
So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a
specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the
bkl.
For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the
superblock information structure.
The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function
into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to
lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers.
The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(),
wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit
release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can
safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some.
Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue
(aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads.
The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually
on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the
flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to
reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks.
This is fine with the bkl:
T1 T2
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A)
unlock_kernel()
// do something
lock_kernel()

This is not fine with a mutex:
T1 T2
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A)
mutex_unlock(write)
// do something
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule()
mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2
deadlock
The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write
lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another
simulation of the bkl behaviour.
The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held,
according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking.
Those are:
- reiserfs_remount
- reiserfs_fill_super
- reiserfs_put_super
Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks.
But now we must take care of that with the new locking.
After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now).
On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead
of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

reiserfs uses NULL as "unknown" and ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) as "no ACL";
several codepaths store the former instead of the latter.
All those codepaths go through iset_acl() and all cases when it's
called with NULL acl are for the second variety, so the minimal
fix is to teach iset_acl() to deal with that.
Proper fix is to switch to more usual conventions and avoid back

Several code paths in reiserfs have a construct like:
if (is_direntry_le_ih(ih = B_N_PITEM_HEAD(src, item_num))) ...
which, in addition to being ugly, end up causing compiler warnings with
gcc 4.4.0. Previous compilers didn't issue a warning.
fs/reiserfs/do_balan.c:1273: warning: operation on `aux_ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:393: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:421: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:777: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined
I believe this is due to the ih being passed to macros which evaluate the
argument more than once. This is old code and we haven't seen any
problems with it, but this patch eliminates the warnings.
It converts the multiple evaluation macros to static inlines and does a
preassignment for the cases that were causing the warnings because that
code is just ugly.

in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.
This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.
This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.
The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the

This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.

needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Reiserfs currently doesn't set a llseek method for regular files, which
means it will fall back to default_llseek. This means no one can seek
beyond 2 Gigabytes on reiserfs, and that there's not protection vs
the i_size updates from writers.

In case of error, the function open_xa_dir returns an ERR pointer, but
never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR
test should be deleted.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).
This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.
