[GIT PULL] aio changes for 3.12

[Benjamin LaHaise]

Hell Linus, Al and everyone,

First off, sorry for this pull request being late in the merge window.  Al 
had raised a couple of concerns about 2 items in the series below.  I 
addressed the first issue (the race introduced by Gu's use of mm_populate()),
but he has not provided any further details on how he wants to rework the 
anon_inode.c changes (which were sent out months ago but have yet to be 
commented on).  The bulk of the changes have been sitting in the -next tree 
for a few months, with all the issues raised being addressed.  Please 
consider this pull.  Thanks,

OK...  As for objections against anon_inodes.c stuff, it can be dealt with
after merge.  Basically, I don't like using anon_inodes as a dumping ground -
look how little of what that sucker is doing has anything to do with the
code in anon_inodes.c; you override practically everything anyway.  It's
just a "filesystems are hard, let's go shopping".  Look, declaring an
fs takes about 20 lines.  Total.  All you really use from anon_inodes.c is

{
        struct inode *inode = new_inode_pseudo(s);
        if (!inode)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
        inode->i_ino = get_next_ino();
        inode->i_state = I_DIRTY;
        inode->i_mode = S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR;
        inode->i_uid = current_fsuid();
        inode->i_gid = current_fsgid();
        inode->i_flags |= S_PRIVATE;
        inode->i_atime = inode->i_mtime = inode->i_ctime = CURRENT_TIME;
        return inode;
}

which can bloody well go into fs/inode.c - it has nothing whatsoever
anon_inode-specific.  You end up overriding ->a_ops anyway.  Moreover,
your "allocate a file/dentry/inode and give it to me" helper creates
a struct file that needs to be patched up by caller.  What's the point
of passing ctx to anon_inode_getfile_private(), then?  And the same
will happen for any extra callers that API might grow.

Look, defining an fs is as simple as this:

struct vfsmount *aio_mnt;
static struct dentry *aio_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
                                int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data)
{
	static const struct dentry_operations ops = {
		.d_dname        = simple_dname,
	};
	return mount_pseudo(fs_type, "aio:", NULL,
		&ops, 0x69696969);
}
and in aio_setup() do this
	static struct file_system_type aiofs = {
		.name           = "aio",
		.mount          = aio_mount,
		.kill_sb        = kill_anon_super,
	};
        aio_mnt = kern_mount(&aio_fs);
	if (IS_ERR(aio_mnt))
		panic("buggered");

That's all the glue you need.  Again, the proper solution is to take
fs-independent parts of anon_inode_mkinode() to fs/inode.c (there's a
lot of open-coded variants floating around in the tree, BTW) and do
what anon_inode_getfile_private() is trying to do right in aio.c.
With the patch-up you have to do afterwards folded in.  Look at what
it's doing, really.
	* allocate an inode, with uid/gid/ino/timestamps set in
usual way.  Should be fs/inode.c helper.
	* set the rest of it up (size, a_ops, ->mapping->private_data) -
the things you open-code anyway
	* d_alloc_pseudo() on constant name ("anon_inode:[aio]")
	* d_instantiate()
	* mntget()
	* alloc_file(), with &aio_ring_fops passed to it
	* set file->private_data (unused)
It might make sense to add a helper for steps 3--5 (something along the
lines of alloc_pseudo_file(mnt, name, inode, mode, fops)).  Step 6 is
useless, AFAICS.

Note that anon_inodes.c reason to exist was "it's for situations where
all context lives on struct file and we don't need separate inode for
them".  Going from that to "it happens to contain a handy function for inode
allocation"...

[rfc] rework aio migrate pages to use aio fs

The main reason for re-using anon_inodes.c was more to avoid duplicating 
code.  In any case, the below reworks things as suggested, and it seems to 
work in basic testing (the migrate pages test passes, as well as some basic 
operations generating events).  Could you please review changes below?  If 
it looks okay, I'll add it to my next bug fix pull.  Credit goes to Al for 
having written most of this code in his previous email.

[rfc] rework aio migrate pages to use aio fs

The main reason for re-using anon_inodes.c was more to avoid duplicating 
code.  In any case, the below reworks things as suggested, and it seems to 
work in basic testing (the migrate pages test passes, as well as some basic 
operations generating events).  Could you please review changes below?  If 
it looks okay, I'll add it to my next bug fix pull.  Credit goes to Al for 
having written most of this code in his previous email.

FWIW, I would've taken that to fs/libfs.c, sans the assignment of ->i_fop.
BTW, are you sure that you want it to be opened via procfs symlink?  Is that
even possible?  IOW, what's that ->i_fop for?

Why is it not static?  And why bother with fops as argument, etc.?

Also pointless, AFAICS.  BTW, you've just open-coded fops_get(fops), not
that it mattered in this case...

Pointless, BTW - alloc_file() will have already set it that way.

And that module_put is pointless as well here.

and you've leaked that inode, BTW.

Another thing: I'd rather pull everything about setting the inode
up (aops, size, etc.) in there.

Anyway, could you take a look at the last couple of commits in
vfs.git#for-bcrl?  Commit message on the last one is an atrocity,
of course...

Sorry for not replying sooner, I'd actually reviewed this last week but got 
distracted before replying.

This looks much better in terms of the code that is specific to aio.  I've 
run the aio tests I wrote for the numa page migration test case, and they 
look okay with your changes from vfs.git@for-bcrl.  Please feel free to 
add my Tested/Acked-by.
