[PATCH 00/11] Push file_update_time() into .page_mkwrite

[PATCH 00/11] Push file_update_time() into .page_mkwrite

[Jan Kara]

  Hello,

  to provide reliable support for filesystem freezing, filesystems need to have
complete control over when metadata is changed. In particular,
file_update_time() calls from page fault code make it impossible for
filesystems to prevent inodes from being dirtied while the filesystem is
frozen.

To fix the issue, this patch set changes page fault code to call
file_update_time() only when ->page_mkwrite() callback is not provided. If the
callback is provided, it is the responsibility of the filesystem to perform
update of i_mtime / i_ctime if needed. We also push file_update_time() call
to all existing ->page_mkwrite() implementations if the time update does not
obviously happen by other means. If you know your filesystem does not need
update of modification times in ->page_mkwrite() handler, please speak up and
I'll drop the patch for your filesystem.

As a side note, an alternative would be to remove call of file_update_time()
from page fault code altogether and require all filesystems needing it to do
that in their ->page_mkwrite() implementation. That is certainly possible
although maybe slightly inefficient and would require auditting 100+
vm_operations_structs *shake*.

If I get acks on these patches, Andrew, would you be willing to take these
patches?

Cannot your code race with truncate? See checks in __block_page_mkwrite()...

[PATCH 11/11] mm: Update file times from fault path only if .page_mkwrite is not set

[Jan Kara]

Filesystems wanting to properly support freezing need to have control
when file_update_time() is called. After pushing file_update_time()
to all relevant .page_mkwrite implementations we can just stop calling
file_update_time() when filesystem implements .page_mkwrite.

Hi Jan,

file_update_time() is a no-op in NFS, since we set S_NOATIME|S_NOCMTIME
on all inodes.

Its an anon filedesc, there's no actual file and while I guess one could
probably call fstat() on it, people really shouldn't care.

So feel free to introduce this patch to the bitbucket.

This will update the timestamp even if a write
fault fails, which is different from before.

Hard to avoid though.

Looks good to me.

If the filesystem's page_mkwrite() function is responsible
for updating the time, can't the call to file_update_time()
here be conditional?

I.e:
	ret = 0;
	if (bb->vm_ops->page_mkwrite)
 		ret = bb->vm_ops->page_mkwrite(vma, vmf);
	else
		file_update_time(file);

Yeah.  Let's put something in the tracker to take a look later (I think we

  Hmm, I didn't look previously where do we get bb->vm_ops. It seems they
are inherited from vma->vm_ops so what you suggest should be safe without
any further changes. So I can do that if someone who understands the sysfs
code likes it more.

  Yes. Relatively easy solution for this (at least for some filesystems)
is to include time update into other operations filesystem is doing.
Usually filesystem can do some preparations, then take page lock and then
update time stamps together with other things it wants to do. It usually
will be even faster than current scheme. But I decided to leave that to
fs maintainers because page_mkwrite() code tends to be tricky wrt locking
etc.

  Yes. Relatively easy solution for this (at least for some filesystems)
is to include time update into other operations filesystem is doing.
Usually filesystem can do some preparations, then take page lock and then
update time stamps together with other things it wants to do. It usually
will be even faster than current scheme. But I decided to leave that to
fs maintainers because page_mkwrite() code tends to be tricky wrt locking

  Thanks! Just an administrative note - the tag above should rather be
Acked-by or Reviewed-by. You'd use Signed-off-by only if you took the patch
and merged it via your tree... So can I add Acked-by?

I do.  Essentially sysfs is being a stackable filesystem here, because
sysfs needs the ability to remove a file mapping.

In practice we could probably get away without a single
file_update_time(file) here because there are mmio mappings.  Normally
for pci resources, but we might as well use good form since we can.
