Between shooting down ptes to\na particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,\ndo_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new\nmapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.\n\nThe most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.\nThis case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the\nfile\u0027s i_size, and its truncate_count.\n\nTruncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before\nunmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the\npage if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page\ntable lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl\nwill serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated\ntruncate_count is actually visible).\n\nComplexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the\ncase where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page\ncan come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in\nprogress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that\ndangling (-\u003emapping \u003d\u003d NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file\nmay be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same\nplace will see a different page.\n\nAndrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using\na page-\u003eflags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but\nthat was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or\nper-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment\n_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large\nperformance hit. Scalability is not an issue.\n\nThis patch implements this latter approach. -\u003enopage implementations return\nwith the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be\ninvalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate\nso). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping\ncompletely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during\ninvalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while\nholding the lock).\n\nThis also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have\nthe page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.\n\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "787d2214c19bcc9b6ac48af0ce098277a801eded", "tree": "a040604fdf9620a66dc83a0cde4f2140e2ec25b3", "parents": [ "a1ed3dda0ad181532f1e0f0d548067fb9fdddac4" ], "author": { "name": "Nick Piggin", "email": "npiggin@suse.de", "time": "Tue Jul 17 04:03:34 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 17 10:23:02 2007 -0700" }, "message": "fs: introduce some page/buffer invariants\n\nIt is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has\nbuffers.

The diffstat below shows the entire\npatchset.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix a few things]\nSigned-off-by: Nate Diller \u003cnate.diller@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "7b965e0884cee430ffe5dc81cdb117b9316b0549", "tree": "754dce6432258e0a8c3a758e13a34eb3a1d22ee1", "parents": [ "5a39e8c6d655b4fe8305ef8cc2d9bbe782bfee5f" ], "author": { "name": "Trond Myklebust", "email": "Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com", "time": "Wed Feb 28 20:13:55 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Mar 01 14:53:39 2007 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] VM: invalidate_inode_pages2_range() should not exit early\n\nFix invalidate_inode_pages2_range() so that it does not immediately exit\njust because a single page in the specified range could not be removed.\n\nSigned-off-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fc0ecff698165ae8e178efa086e0dd1f385206b1", "tree": "fc6274f0862bdd6749172201170b2f6a7ce4c4ff", "parents": [ "54bc485522afdac33de5504da2ea8cdcc690674e" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Morton", "email": "akpm@osdl.org", "time": "Sat Feb 10 01:45:39 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Feb 11 10:51:31 2007 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] remove invalidate_inode_pages()\n\nConvert all calls to invalidate_inode_pages() into open-coded calls to\ninvalidate_mapping_pages().\n\nLeave the invalidate_inode_pages() wrapper in place for now, marked as\ndeprecated.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "54bc485522afdac33de5504da2ea8cdcc690674e", "tree": "9f979e7ff693eefaa1c7326c1a2422a699809a77", "parents": [ "5449bc94152a6c4700f46786be600141234d8f0f" ], "author": { "name": "Anton Altaparmakov", "email": "aia21@cam.ac.uk", "time": "Sat Feb 10 01:45:38 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun Feb 11 10:51:30 2007 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] Export invalidate_mapping_pages() to modules\n\nIt makes no sense to me to export invalidate_inode_pages() and not\ninvalidate_mapping_pages() and I actually need invalidate_mapping_pages()\nbecause of its range specification ability...\n\nakpm: also remove the export of invalidate_inode_pages() by making it an\ninlined wrapper.\n\nSigned-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov \u003caia21@cantab.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "569d3287c1f2c5d5e9264e89bd2c0f632e7b7dbb", "tree": "ed3090026929949a5d7e723e302ef7ecd8be272e", "parents": [ "2a2275d630b982e5f90206f9bc497f6695a3ec5d" ], "author": { "name": "Trond Myklebust", "email": "Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com", "time": "Fri Jan 26 00:57:11 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jan 26 13:51:00 2007 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] MM: Remove [PATCH] invalidate_inode_pages2_range() debug\n\nNFS can handle the case where invalidate_inode_pages2_range() fails, so the\npremise behind commit 8258d4a574d3a8c01f0ef68aa26b969398a0e140 is now gone.\n\nRemove the WARN_ON_ONCE() which is causing users grief as we can see from\nhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d7826\n\nSigned-off-by: Trond Myklebust \u003cTrond.Myklebust@netapp.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ecdfc9787fe527491baefc22dce8b2dbd5b2908d", "tree": "31e7ddac0339498095c40444f81c0b03751434ae", "parents": [ "5ad0d383ddbf0d2fce43b8aac267a6c299fd2dff" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jan 26 12:47:06 2007 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jan 26 12:47:06 2007 -0800" }, "message": "Resurrect \u0027try_to_free_buffers()\u0027 VM hackery\n\nIt\u0027s not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data\u003djournal will clean\npages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean.

As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the\n \t block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -\n \t such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.\n\n (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM\n \t drivers.\n\n (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.\n\n (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by\n \t taking a leaf out of JFFS2\u0027s book.\n\n (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and\n linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,\n however, still used in places, and so is still available.\n\n (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and\n parts of linux/fs.h.\n\n (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) set_page_dirty() doesn\u0027t call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK\n is not enabled.\n\n (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are\n required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:\n\n (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).\n\n (*) Makes some /proc changes:\n\n (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.\n\n (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if\n given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.\n\n (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if\n CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.\n\n (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return\n error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).\n\n (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if\n CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can\u0027t then happen.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003caxboe@kernel.dk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "cf9a2ae8d49948f861b56e5333530e491a9da190", "tree": "21f0b0d781b3e60cc60464d39b6d95681201b37e", "parents": [ "4090959aee403817ff386415f9bc602c1a0882ef" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Tue Aug 29 19:05:54 2006 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "axboe@nelson.home.kernel.dk", "time": "Sat Sep 30 20:31:19 2006 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] BLOCK: Move functions out of buffer code [try #6]\n\nMove some functions out of the buffering code that aren\u0027t strictly buffering\nspecific.
