"[PATCH 0/3] RFC - module.h usage cleanups in fs/ and lib/"
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/29/589
--
Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.
These are trivial in scope vs. the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed.

Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
from progressing. As the result, we can end up with async call of
put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
to them...
We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.
Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
area in aio_fput_routine().

Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it
on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit. The current
code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed
to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right
under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to
io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end
up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...

The problem lies with the allocation batching code. It will
opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
events.
In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters. Unfortunately, the
code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

Since commit 080d676de0 ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs are
allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs. All iocbs in a
batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted in
ctx->reqs_active.
If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails, further
iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in ctx->active_reqs
and accounted in ctx->reqs_active. This causes process to stuck in a D
state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since ctx->reqs_active will never
go down to zero. Furthermore since kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb
without removing it from active_reqs list the list become corrupted
which may cause oops.
Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().

In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock
takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason
is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we
know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs
in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock.
In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in
_raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to
test this was:
aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev>
I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to
io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't
break anything.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

aio_wq isn't used during memory reclaim. Convert to alloc_workqueue()
without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. It's possible to use system_wq but given that
the number of work items is determined from userland and the work item
may block, enforcing strict concurrency limit would be a good idea.
Also, move fput_work to system_wq so that aio_wq is used soley to
throttle the max concurrency of aio work items and fput_work doesn't
interact with other work items.

The aio batching code is using igrab to get an extra reference on the
inode so it can safely batch. igrab will go ahead and take the global
inode spinlock, which can be a bottleneck on large machines doing lots
of AIO.
In this case, igrab isn't required because we already have a reference
on the file handle. It is safe to just bump the i_count directly
on the inode.

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is
signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted
with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow
filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must
not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of
an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code
(restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could
have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

The attached patch checks for overflow, and if it is detected, the
number of iocbs submitted is scaled down to a number that will fit in
the long. This is an ok thing to do, as sys_io_submit is documented as
returning the number of iocbs submitted, so callers should handle a
return value of less than the 'nr' argument passed in.

__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.
Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work.
I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now. And __fput() became static.

The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to
64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or
EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to
io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb
array.
A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the
libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success.
Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the
testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32
on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be
welcome.

There's nothing block related about them, the backing device
is used by things like NFS etc as well. This gets rid of the
need to protect such calls by CONFIG_BLOCK.

Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).

As mentioned in Documentation/CodingStyle, move EXPORT* macro's
to the line immediately after the closing function brace line.
Also, move the __initcall() similarly.

Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs
use_mm (like what fs/aio has). Move that into mm/, to make reusing and
exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it. Next intended user,
besides aio, will be vhost-net.

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.

The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).
Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd77).
Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
not found.

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock,
so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx
lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into
an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of
the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion.
There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense
to look into fancier data structures.

Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.
No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.
oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
return NULL;
return tsk->mm;
}
Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since
then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with
PF_BORROWED_MM bit set.
As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.
