Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres. Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.
Non-trivial places are:
arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c
This is flag day, yes.

Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of
posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it
possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock
manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous.
Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well.

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by
posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).
f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.
This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.
This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.
As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).
Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.

The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.
The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
copying to it. This also saves the need for an unnecessary
locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.
Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.

Miklos Szeredi found the bug:
"Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls
nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns
NLM_LCK_DENIED.
"On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()),
which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever."
So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing
permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file,
could result in an infinite loop.
And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I:
7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out
generic/filesystem switch from setlock code"
That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced
a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it
returned -EAGAIN.
We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW
would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN.
However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and
independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't
actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such
assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method.
Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This
leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning
fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.

interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on
which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case
where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called.
locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually

For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:
- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
caller_fl conflict)
- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
removing some uninteresting historical detail.

It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite
loop (under the BKL).
For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may
want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of
deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix
is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to
be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.

Currently /proc/locks is shown with a proc_read function, but its behavior
is rather complex as it has to manually handle current offset and buffer
length. On the other hand, files that show objects from lists can be
easily reimplemented using the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX()
helpers.
This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from

The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the
inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called
MANDATORY_LOCK(inode). However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform
the explicit i_mode checking. Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is
buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice.
Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it,
making the code shorter and more readable.
The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK()
for superblock is already known to be true.

/* and we freed it */
...
unlock_kernel();
locks_insert_lock(before, fl);
/* OOPS! We have just tried to add the lease
* at the tail of already removed one
*/
The similar races are already handled in other code - all the
allocations are performed before any checks/updates.

When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock
from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock
can be removed without appropriate warning.
Look:
for_each_lock(inode, before) {
struct file_lock *fl = *before;
if (IS_POSIX(fl))
break;
if (IS_LEASE(fl))
continue;
if (filp != fl->fl_file)
continue;
if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type)
goto out;
found = 1;
locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< !
break;
}
if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will
fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock
is already removed.
This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic,
but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by
some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked.
The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance
to fail in the future code.

The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request,
and the second a lock from an inode's lock request. It doesn't really
make a difference which order you call them in, since the only
asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second
argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for
some reason.
But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict()
with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else.

The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix
locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in
the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE
command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects
the leases to come first.
The following example will demonstrate this:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/file.h>
static void show_lease(int fd)
{
int res;
res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE);
switch (res) {
case F_RDLCK:
printf("Read lease\n");
break;
case F_WRLCK:
printf("Write lease\n");
break;
case F_UNLCK:
printf("No leases\n");
break;
default:
printf("Some shit\n");
break;
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, res;
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (fd == -1) {
perror("Can't open file");
return 1;
}
res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK);
if (res == -1) {
perror("Can't set lease");
return 1;
}
show_lease(fd);
if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) {
perror("Can't flock shared");
return 1;
}
show_lease(fd);
return 0;
}
The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but
the second will show no leases.
Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head
of this list.

Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed

We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls
a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a
generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some
other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock,
whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local
functionality as part of their lock implementation.
So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a
filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to
setlease.
Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed
by lockd and nfsd.

Share more code between setlease (used by nfsd) and fcntl.
Also some minor cleanup.

In 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c we changed posix_test_lock
to modify its single file_lock argument instead of taking separate input
and output arguments. This makes it no longer safe to set the output
lock's fl_type to F_UNLCK before looking for a conflict, since that
means searching for a conflict against a lock with type F_UNLCK.
This fixes a regression which causes F_GETLK to incorrectly report no
conflict on most filesystems (including any filesystem that doesn't do
its own locking).
Also fix posix_lock_to_flock() to copy the lock type. This isn't
strictly necessary, since the caller already does this; but it seems
less likely to cause confusion in the future.
Thanks to Doug Chapman for the bug report.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
SLAB.
I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.
I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free. That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.
Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).
There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Acquiring a lock on a cluster filesystem may require communication with
remote hosts, and to avoid blocking lockd or nfsd threads during such
communication, we allow the results to be returned asynchronously.
When a ->lock() call needs to block, the file system will return
-EINPROGRESS, and then later return the results with a call to the
routine in the fl_grant field of the lock_manager_operations struct.
This differs from the case when ->lock returns -EAGAIN to a blocking
lock request; in that case, the filesystem calls fl_notify when the lock
is granted, and the caller retries the original lock. So while
fl_notify is merely a hint to the caller that it should retry, fl_grant
actually communicates the final result of the lock operation (with the
lock already acquired in the succesful case).
Therefore fl_grant takes a lock, a status and, for the test lock case, a
conflicting lock. We also allow fl_grant to return an error to the
filesystem, to handle the case where the fl_grant requests arrives after
the lock manager has already given up waiting for it.

Lock managers need to be able to cancel pending lock requests. In the case
where the exported filesystem manages its own locks, it's not sufficient just
to call posix_unblock_lock(); we need to let the filesystem know what's
happening too.
We do this by adding a new fcntl lock command: FL_CANCELLK. Some day this
might also be made available to userspace applications that could benefit from
an asynchronous locking api.
