The daemon opens the cache device,\nconfigures the cache and tells it to begin caching. At that point the cache\nbinds to fscache and the cache becomes live.\n\nThe daemon is run as follows:\n\n\t/sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f \u003cconfigfile\u003e]\n\nThe flags are:\n\n (*) -d\n\n\tIncrease the debugging level.

The\nkernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores\nmountpoints, but the daemon can\u0027t avoid them.\n\nDo not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the\ncache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.\n\nRenaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the\nfilename is part of the lookup key).\n\nDo not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the\ncache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.\n\nDo not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or\nserve incorrect data.\n\nDo not chmod files in the cache.

This involves\ndiscarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than\nanything else. Culling is based on the access time of data objects. Empty\ndirectories are culled if not in use.\n\nCache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the\npercentage of files available in the underlying filesystem. There are six\n\"limits\":\n\n (*) brun\n (*) frun\n\n If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache\n rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.\n\n (*) bcull\n (*) fcull\n\n If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the\n cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.\n\n (*) bstop\n (*) fstop\n\n If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the\n cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of\n disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above\n these limits again.\n\nThese must be configured thusly:\n\n\t0 \u003c\u003d bstop \u003c bcull \u003c brun \u003c 100\n\t0 \u003c\u003d fstop \u003c fcull \u003c frun \u003c 100\n\nNote that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do\n_not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the \"df\" program.\n\nThe userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.\nThese are then culled in least recently used order. A new scan of the cache is\nstarted as soon as space is made in the table. Objects will be skipped if\ntheir atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nCACHE STRUCTURE\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nThe CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was\ngiven:\n\n (*) cache/\n\n (*) graveyard/\n\nThe active cache objects all reside in the first directory. The CacheFiles\nkernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can\u0027t simply unlink\nto the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.\n\nThe daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete\nanything that appears therein.\n\nThe module represents index objects as directories with the filename \"I...\" or\n\"J...\". Note that the \"cache/\" directory is itself a special index.\n\nData objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories\nif they do. Their filenames all begin \"D...\" or \"E...\". If represented as a\ndirectory, data objects will have a file in the directory called \"data\" that\nactually holds the data.\n\nSpecial objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin\n\"S...\" or \"T...\".\n\nIf an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.\nImmediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories\nnamed for hash values of the child object keys with an \u0027@\u0027 prepended.

By default,\n this is:\n\n\tcachefiles_var_t\n\n (2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request\n (presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:\n\n\tcachefilesd_t\n\n and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the\n daemon\u0027s label. By default, this will be:\n\n\tcachefiles_kernel_t\n\n SELinux transitions the daemon\u0027s security ID to the module\u0027s security ID\n based on a rule of this form in the policy.\n\n\ttype_transition \u003cdaemon\u0027s-ID\u003e kernel_t : process \u003cmodule\u0027s-ID\u003e;\n\n For instance:\n\n\ttype_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;\n\nThe module\u0027s security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files\nand directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the\ncache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and\nwrite files in the cache.\n\nThe daemon\u0027s security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it\nmay scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories. It may\nnot read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the\ndata cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.\n\nThere are policy source files available in:\n\n\thttp://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2\n\nand later versions. In that tarball, see the files:\n\n\tcachefilesd.te\n\tcachefilesd.fc\n\tcachefilesd.if\n\nThey are built and installed directly by the RPM.\n\nIf a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own\ndirectory and run:\n\n\tmake -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile\n\tsemodule -i cachefilesd.pp\n\nYou will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the\nbuild.\n\nBy default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that\nit should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or\nan auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the\ncache.\n\nFor instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be\nlocated elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:\n\n\t/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt\n\nWhen the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found\nin the sources.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nA NOTE ON SECURITY\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nCacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct. It allocates\nits own task_security structure, and redirects current-\u003eact_as to point to it\nwhen it acts on behalf of another process, in that process\u0027s context.\n\nThe reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than\nbypassing security and calling inode ops directly. Therefore the VFS and LSM\nmay deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some\ncircumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever\nprocess issued the original syscall on the netfs.\n\nFurthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security\nparameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be\nderived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially\npreventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles\u0027s\ncache management daemon (cachefilesd).\n\nWhat is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that\nissued the system call. We can\u0027t, however, just do an in-place change of the\nsecurity data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.\nThis means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what\nthe process looks like in /proc.\n\nSo CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the\nobjective security (task-\u003esec) and the subjective security (task-\u003eact_as). The\nobjective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is\nnever overridden. This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a\nprocess is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for\nexample).\n\nThe subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and\nmay be overridden. This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process\nacts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a\nfile.\n\nLSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request\nfor CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create\nfiles and directories with another security label.\n\nThis documentation is added by the patch to:\n\n\tDocumentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.txt\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "800a964787faef3509d194fa33268628c3d1daa9", "tree": "37a722ed9d269d60bc26f6d8f0862d87e45a2424", "parents": [ "385e1ca5f21c4680ad6a46a3aa2ea8af99e99c92" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:40 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:40 2009 +0100" }, "message": "CacheFiles: Export things for CacheFiles\n\nExport a number of functions for CacheFiles\u0027s use.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "385e1ca5f21c4680ad6a46a3aa2ea8af99e99c92", "tree": "7d887b59d943c5dd62c9604b7ea37fd2d650df71", "parents": [ "b510882281d56873e1194021643b7c325336f84f" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:39 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:39 2009 +0100" }, "message": "CacheFiles: Permit the page lock state to be monitored\n\nAdd a function to install a monitor on the page lock waitqueue for a particular\npage, thus allowing the page being unlocked to be detected.\n\nThis is used by CacheFiles to detect read completion on a page in the backing\nfilesystem so that it can then copy the data to the waiting netfs page.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b510882281d56873e1194021643b7c325336f84f", "tree": "86cd206b0d2b55dc355833ca238d46488161b64c", "parents": [ "952efe7b7840e1c726ae88222245e4efe6bd88f3" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:39 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:39 2009 +0100" }, "message": "FS-Cache: Implement data I/O part of netfs API\n\nImplement the data I/O part of the FS-Cache netfs API.

Its operations are represented by\nfscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other\nstructure.\n\nThis facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends,\nand FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache\nbackend for completion.\n\nTo make use of this facility, \u003clinux/fscache-cache.h\u003e should be #included.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nOPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nAn operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct:\n\n\tstruct fscache_operation {\n\t\tunion {\n\t\t\tstruct work_struct fast_work;\n\t\t\tstruct slow_work slow_work;\n\t\t};\n\t\tunsigned long\t\tflags;\n\t\tfscache_operation_processor_t processor;\n\t\t...\n\t};\n\nSomeone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this\nstruct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling:\n\n\tvoid fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op,\n\t\t\t\t fscache_operation_release_t release);\n\nwith the operation to be initialised and the release function to use.\n\nThe op-\u003eflags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and\nthe exclusivity (see the Parameters section).\n\nThe op-\u003efast_work, op-\u003eslow_work and op-\u003eprocessor flags should be set as\nappropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section).\n\nFSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op-\u003eflags prior to each submission of the\noperation and waited for afterwards.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nPARAMETERS\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nThere are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record\u0027s flag\nparameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these\noperations:\n\n (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread\n may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to\n another thread.\n\n This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on\n the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an\n asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done\n synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been\n determined.\n\n If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op-\u003eflags\n before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it\n to be cleared before proceeding:\n\n\t\twait_on_bit(\u0026op-\u003eflags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING,\n\t\t\t fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);\n\n (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it\n will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted\n to sleep on I/O.\n\n This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs\n page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in.\n\n If this option is used, op-\u003efast_work and op-\u003eprocessor must be\n initialised before submitting the operation:\n\n\t\tINIT_WORK(\u0026op-\u003efast_work, do_some_work);\n\n (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it\n will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is\n permitted to sleep on I/O.\n\n This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of\n pages that have just been fetched from a remote server.\n\n If this option is used, op-\u003eslow_work and op-\u003eprocessor must be\n initialised before submitting the operation:\n\n\t\tfscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor)\n\nFurthermore, operations may be one of two types:\n\n (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in\n conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon.\n\n An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file\n being written to may need truncation.\n\n (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It\u0027s\n up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other\n operations running at the same time.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nPROCEDURE\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nOperations are used through the following procedure:\n\n (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it\n itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the\n generic op embedded within.\n\n (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using\n one of the following two functions:\n\n\tint fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object,\n\t\t\t struct fscache_operation *op);\n\n\tint fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object,\n\t\t\t\t\tstruct fscache_operation *op);\n\n The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the\n second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the\n FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag.\n\n If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified\n object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is\n permanently unavailable.\n\n The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still\n undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an\n operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object.\n\n If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to\n it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to:\n\n\tvoid fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op);\n\n (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the\n operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor\n FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if\n necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting).\n\n When it has finished doing its processing, it should call\n fscache_put_operation() on it.\n\n (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other\n exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be\n enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the\n CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg:\n\n\top-\u003eflags \u0026\u003d ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE;\n\top-\u003eflags |\u003d ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST;\n\n and calling:\n\n\tvoid fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op)\n\n This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread\n pools.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nWhen used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the\nprocessor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the\ncontainer struct by using container_of():\n\n\tstatic void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op)\n\t{\n\t\tstruct fscache_storage *op \u003d\n\t\t\tcontainer_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op);\n\t...\n\t}\n\nThe caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke\nfscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor\nfunction is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra\nreferences.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ccc4fc3d11e91477036d1f82bfa2d442f6ce77f0", "tree": "c3ead4b385f9efce6e2688832dfb76391e18345d", "parents": [ "36c9559022850f919269564a74bf17fdabf4bb30" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "message": "FS-Cache: Implement the cookie management part of the netfs API\n\nImplement the cookie management part of the FS-Cache netfs client API.

Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie\nstruct and are referred to as cookies.\n\nFS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that\na cache backend is currently actively caching. Such objects are represented by\nthe fscache_object struct. The cache backends allocate these upon request, and\nare expected to embed them in their own representations. These are referred to\nas objects.\n\nThere is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects. A cookie may be\nrepresented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache -\nor even by no objects (it may not be cached).\n\nFurthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical. The two hierarchies\ncorrespond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees\nof multiple caches:\n\n\t NETFS INDEX TREE : CACHE 1 : CACHE 2\n\t : :\n\t : +-----------+ :\n\t +-----------\u003e| IObject | :\n\t +-----------+ | : +-----------+ :\n\t | ICookie |-------+ : | :\n\t +-----------+ | : | : +-----------+\n\t | +------------------------------\u003e| IObject |\n\t | : | : +-----------+\n\t | : V : |\n\t | : +-----------+ : |\n\t V +-----------\u003e| IObject | : |\n\t +-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |\n\t | ICookie |-------+ : | : V\n\t +-----------+ | : | : +-----------+\n\t | +------------------------------\u003e| IObject |\n\t +-----+-----+ : | : +-----------+\n\t | | : | : |\n\t V | : V : |\n\t+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |\n\t| ICookie |-------------------------\u003e| IObject | : |\n\t+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |\n\t | V : | : V\n\t | +-----------+ : | : +-----------+\n\t | | ICookie |--------------------------------\u003e| IObject |\n\t | +-----------+ : | : +-----------+\n\t V | : V : |\n\t+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |\n\t| DCookie |-------------------------\u003e| DObject | : |\n\t+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |\n\t | : : |\n\t +-------+-------+ : : |\n\t | | : : |\n\t V V : : V\n\t +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+\n\t | DCookie | | DCookie |------------------------\u003e| DObject |\n\t +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+\n\t : :\n\nIn the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie\nand DObject represent data storage objects. Indices may have representation in\nmultiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not. Objects of any type\nmay also be entirely unrepresented.\n\nAs far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see\npointers to the cookies. The cookies themselves and any objects attached to\nthose cookies are hidden from it.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nOBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nWithin FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state\nmachine. The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in\nobject-\u003estate. A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different\nstates.\n\nEach state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine\nwakes up in that state. There are four logical sets of states:\n\n (1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready. The\n representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must\n be created or accessed with respect to its parent object.\n\n (2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate\n what\u0027s found and that create on disk any missing metadata.\n\n (3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed\n and that update the state of objects.\n\n (4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that\n delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free\n up in-memory resources.\n\nIn most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events.\nWhen a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in\nwhich it is interested (object-\u003eevent_mask) and relinquish the worker thread.\nThen when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event\nis not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling\nfscache_enqueue_object()).\n\nPROVISION OF CPU TIME\n---------------------\n\nThe work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of\nthe slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt). This is used in\npreference to the workqueue facility because:\n\n (1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a\n particular work item. These state actions may be doing sequences of\n synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr,\n getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename).\n\n (2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time\n sleeping on I/O. This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded\n workqueues don\u0027t necessarily have the right numbers of threads.\n\nLOCKING SIMPLIFICATION\n----------------------\n\nBecause only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object\u0027s\nstate machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect\nto disconnecting the netfs\u0027s representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie)\nfrom the cache backend\u0027s representation (fscache_object) - which may be\nrequested from either end.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nTHE SET OF STATES\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nThe object state machine has a set of states that it can be in. There are\npreparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent\nobject to transit to a state that allows access to its children:\n\n (1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT.\n\n Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active. In\n the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object\n up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked\n up.\n\nThere are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses\ndisk for the object metadata:\n\n (2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP.\n\n Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.\n FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this\n object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it\u0027s valid (coherency\n management).\n\n The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup\n failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to\n indicate success.\n\n At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with\n read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached. If not yet\n cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until\n the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data\n to be read out of the cache for that file that isn\u0027t currently also held\n in the pagecache.\n\n (3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING.\n\n Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. This\n happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object\u0027s\n coherency data indicated what\u0027s on disk is out of date. In this state,\n FS-Cache expects the cache to create\n\n The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes\n successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise.\n\n At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write\n operations the netfs has queued for an object. If creation failed, the\n write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the\n cache.\n\nThere are some normal running states in which the object spends its time\nservicing netfs requests:\n\n (4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE.\n\n A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects\n are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary\n lookup data is freed.\n\n (5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE.\n\n The normal running state. In this state, requests the netfs makes will be\n passed on to the cache.\n\n (6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING.\n\n The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the\n netfs\u0027s records. This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used\n to maintain coherency.\n\nAnd there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates\nmemory and potentially deletes stuff from disk:\n\n (7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING.\n\n The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation\n error. This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort.\n Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released.\n\n (8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING.\n\n The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent\n cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being\n withdrawn.\n\n Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too\n can destroy themselves. This object waits for all its children to go away\n before advancing to the next state.\n\n (9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT.\n\n The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in\n FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died. The object will destroy itself\n so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state.\n\n(10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING.\n(11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.\n\n The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of\n all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its\n cookie. In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and\n in the second it will be deleted.\n\n(12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.\n\n The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to\n withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to\n error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn.\n\n(13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD.\n\n The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is\n ready to be deleted. The object processor shouldn\u0027t ever see an object in\n this state.\n\nTHE SET OF EVENTS\n-----------------\n\nThere are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine:\n\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE\n\n The netfs requested that an object be updated. The state machine will ask\n the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the\n netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops.\n\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED\n\n This is signalled in two circumstances:\n\n (a) when an object\u0027s last child object is dropped and\n\n (b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed.\n\n This is used to proceed from the dying state.\n\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR\n\n This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some\n object.\n\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE\n\n These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using.\n The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing\n object to be retired (deleted) or retained.\n\n (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW\n\n This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object.\n This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs\u0027s\n cookie.\n\nBecause the withdrawing releasing/retiring events are all handled by the object\nstate machine, it doesn\u0027t matter if there\u0027s a collision with both ends trying\nto sever the connection at the same time. The state machine can just pick\nwhich one it wants to honour, and that effects the other.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "2868cbea72dc89ae0eb17693596b1dedaafff1c5", "tree": "277e2cbdafabe6ca74458445838a07b571a94996", "parents": [ "726dd7ff10c217dd74329c94643dc8ebea27334b" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "message": "FS-Cache: Bit waiting helpers\n\nAdd helpers for use with wait_on_bit().\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "726dd7ff10c217dd74329c94643dc8ebea27334b", "tree": "9bd5b011f945fca4f1b057f7e7750414b1fd9fbd", "parents": [ "955d00917f0c094e0f2fb88df967e980ab66b8ca" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:38 2009 +0100" }, "message": "FS-Cache: Add netfs registration\n\nAdd functions to register and unregister a network filesystem or other client\nof the FS-Cache service.

Holes in files are treated as\n blocks of zeros and can\u0027t be distinguished otherwise, making it difficult\n to distinguish blocks that have been read from the network and cached from\n those that haven\u0027t.\n\n (2) The backing inode must be fully populated before being exposed to\n userspace through the main inode because the VM/VFS goes directly to the\n backing inode and does not interrogate the front inode\u0027s VM ops.\n\n Therefore:\n\n (a) The backing inode must fit entirely within the cache.\n\n (b) All backed files currently open must fit entirely within the cache at\n \t the same time.\n\n (c) A working set of files in total larger than the cache may not be\n \t cached.\n\n (d) A file may not grow larger than the available space in the cache.\n\n (e) A file that\u0027s open and cached, and remotely grows larger than the\n \t cache is potentially stuffed.\n\n (3) Writes go to the backing filesystem, and can only be transferred to the\n network when the file is closed.\n\n (4) There\u0027s no record of what changes have been made, so the whole file must\n be written back.\n\n (5) The pages belong to the backing filesystem, and all metadata associated\n with that page are relevant only to the backing filesystem, and not\n anything stacked atop it.\n\nOVERVIEW\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\n\nFS-Cache provides (or will provide) the following facilities:\n\n (1) Caches can be added / removed at any time, even whilst in use.\n\n (2) Adds a facility by which tags can be used to refer to caches, even if\n they\u0027re not available yet.\n\n (3) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected\n explicitly by use of tags.\n\n (4) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to\n withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (1)).\n\n (5) A netfs may annotate cache objects that belongs to it. This permits the\n storage of coherency maintenance data.\n\n (6) Cache objects will be pinnable and space reservations will be possible.\n\n (7) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring\n rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.\n\n (8) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the\n netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing\n cached there.\n\n (9) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it\n desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is\n recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of\n indices.\n\n(10) Indices can be used to group files together to reduce key size and to make\n group invalidation easier. The use of indices may make lookup quicker,\n but that\u0027s cache dependent.\n\n(11) Data I/O is effectively done directly to and from the netfs\u0027s pages. The\n netfs indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by\n cookie C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or\n may not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be\n invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or\n asynchronous.\n\n(12) Cookies can be \"retired\" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark\n them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get\n recycled.\n\n(13) The netfs provides a \"match\" function for index searches. In addition to\n saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an\n entry should be updated or deleted.\n\nFS-Cache maintains a virtual index tree in which all indices, files, objects\nand pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more\ncaches.\n\n FSDEF\n |\n +------------------------------------+\n | |\n NFS AFS\n | |\n +--------------------------+ +-----------+\n | | | |\n homedir mirror afs.org redhat.com\n | | |\n +------------+ +---------------+ +----------+\n | | | | | |\n 00001 00002 00007 00125 vol00001 vol00002\n | | | | |\n +---+---+ +-----+ +---+ +------+------+ +-----+----+\n | | | | | | | | | | | | |\nPG0 PG1 PG2 PG0 XATTR PG0 PG1 DIRENT DIRENT DIRENT R/W R/O Bak\n | |\n PG0 +-------+\n | |\n 00001 00003\n |\n +---+---+\n | | |\n PG0 PG1 PG2\n\nIn the example above, two netfs\u0027s can be seen to be backed: NFS and AFS. These\nhave different index hierarchies:\n\n (*) The NFS primary index will probably contain per-server indices. Each\n server index is indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects.\n Each data file objects can have an array of pages, but may also have\n further child objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries.\n Extended attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.\n\n (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains\n per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three\n indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.\n Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an\n array of pages.\n\nThe very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs\u0027s\nhave entries.\n\nAny index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index\nchildren. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only\nreside in one cache.\n\nThe FS-Cache overview can be found in:\n\n\tDocumentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt\n\nThe netfs API to FS-Cache can be found in:\n\n\tDocumentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Steve Dickson \u003csteved@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nTested-by: Daire Byrne \u003cDaire.Byrne@framestore.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "266cf658efcf6ac33541a46740f74f50c79d2b6b", "tree": "5c83b0879892d509e598dfd54be3ba3679ecd348", "parents": [ "03fb3d2af96c2783c3a5bc03f3d984cf422f0e69" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:36 2009 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Apr 03 16:42:36 2009 +0100" }, "message": "FS-Cache: Recruit a page flags for cache management\n\nRecruit a page flag to aid in cache management.

These syscalls are a\npretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).\nThey are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.\nUsing lseek+readv instead opens race windows you\u0027ll have to plug with\nlocking.\n\nOther systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check\nhere: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html\n\nThe application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like\nthis to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:\n\n ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);\n ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);\n\nThis prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit)\noffset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn\u0027t\nallow to do. At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this. As\nwe\u0027ll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I\u0027ve decided to push problem to\nglibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without\narch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is\nexplicitly splitted into two 32bit values.\n\nThe patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in\nthe x86 system call tables.
