FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

#include <linux/seq_file.h>
include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

{
FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter.

Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

} else {
FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of what operations are in what states. This is done by: (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is queued or not. This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various points and to prevent invalid state transitions. (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled). (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better govern the state of an object: (a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only. (b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only. (c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_cancel_op(). fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to double decrements against fscache_put_operation(). fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running. (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete. When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and fscache_op_complete() is called. Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page. The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other operations running at the same time. ========= PROCEDURE ========= Operations are used through the following procedure: (1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the generic op embedded within. (2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using one of the following two functions: int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object, struct fscache_operation *op); The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the container struct by using container_of(): static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op) { struct fscache_storage *op = container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op); ... } The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.

fscache: convert operation to use workqueue instead of slow-work Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of workqueue and slow-work. FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor(). fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init() now takes @processor argument directly. * Unbound workqueue is used. * fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does the equivalent thing. * sysctl fscache.operation_max_active added to control concurrency. The default value is nr_cpus clamped between 2 and WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE. * debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug facility is planned to be added.

FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data storage and retrieval routines. The following documentation is added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt ================================ ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING ================================ ======== OVERVIEW ======== FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other structure. This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends, and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache backend for completion. To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included. =============================== OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION =============================== An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct: struct fscache_operation { union { struct work_struct fast_work; struct slow_work slow_work; }; unsigned long flags; fscache_operation_processor_t processor; ... }; Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling: void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op, fscache_operation_release_t release); with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use. The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and the exclusivity (see the Parameters section). The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section). FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the operation and waited for afterwards. ========== PARAMETERS ========== There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these operations: (1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to another thread. This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been determined. If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it to be cleared before proceeding: wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING, fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); (2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in. If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work); (3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is permitted to sleep on I/O. This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of pages that have just been fetched from a remote server. If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be initialised before submitting the operation: fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor) Furthermore, operations may be one of two types: (1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon. An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file being written to may need truncation. (2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously.

The caller must still set the FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag. If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is permanently unavailable. The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object. If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to: void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op); (3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting). When it has finished doing its processing, it should call fscache_put_operation() on it. (4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg: op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE; op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST; and calling: void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op) This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread pools. ===================== ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK ===================== When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the processor method with a pointer to the operation.

The processor function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra references.
