[Cluster-devel] [PATCH v6 00/19] gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hi all,

here's another update on top of v5.14-rc6.  Changes:

 * Per request from Linus, change fault_in_{readable,writeable} to
   return the number of bytes *not* faulted in, like copy_to_user() and
   copy_from_user() does.  Convert fault_in_iov_iter_readable and
   fault_in_iov_iter_writeable to those same semantics.

 * Per suggestion from Linus, introduce a new FOLL_NOFAULT flag to
   prevent get_user_pages from faulting in pages.  This is similar to
   FOLL_FAST_ONLY, but less fragile and available on all architectures.
   Use that for turning off page faults during iov_iter_get_pages() and
   iov_iter_get_pages_alloc().

 * Introduce a new HIF_MAY_DEMOTE flag that allows a glock to be taken
   away from a holder when a conflicting locking request comes in.  This
   allows glock holders to hang on to glocks as long as no conflicting
   locking requests occur.  This avoids returning short reads and writes
   when pages need to be faulted in.

 * Limit the number of pages that are faulted in at once to a more
   sensible size instead of faulting in all pages at once.  When
   faulting in pages doesn't lead to success, fault in a single page
   in the next attempt.  When that still doesn't succeed, give up.
   This should prevent endless loops when fault_in_iov_iter_*() and
   bio_iov_iter_get_pages() disagree.

 * It turns out that taking the inode glock in gfs2_write_lock and
   releasing it in gfs2_write_unlock was entirely pointless, so move
   the locking into gfs2_file_buffered_write instead.  This then also
   allows to eliminate ip->i_gh.


This iteration fixes the issues with fstest generic/208.


For immediate consideration by Al Viro:

  iov_iter: Fix iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc} page fault return value


For immediate consideration by Paul Mackerras:

  powerpc/kvm: Fix kvm_use_magic_page

Andreas
