[PATCH 00/10] netfs, ceph, nfs, cachefiles: Miscellaneous fixes/changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Christian,

Here are some miscellaneous fixes and changes for netfslib and the ceph and
nfs filesystems:

 (1) Ignore silly-rename files from afs and nfs when building the header
     archive in a kernel build.

 (2) netfs: Fix the way read result collection applies results to folios
     when each folio is being read by multiple subrequests and the results
     come out of order.

 (3) netfs: Fix ENOMEM handling in buffered reads.

 (4) nfs: Fix an oops in nfs_netfs_init_request() when copying to the cache.

 (5) cachefiles: Parse the "secctx" command immediately to get the correct
     error rather than leaving it to the "bind" command.

 (6) netfs: Remove a redundant smp_rmb().  This isn't a bug per se and
     could be deferred.

 (7) netfs: Fix missing barriers by using clear_and_wake_up_bit().

 (8) netfs: Work around recursion in read retry by failing and abandoning
     the retried subrequest if no I/O is performed.

     [!] NOTE: This only works around the recursion problem if the
     	 recursion keeps returning no data.  If the server manages, say, to
     	 repeatedly return a single byte of data faster than the retry
     	 algorithm can complete, it will still recurse and the stack
     	 overrun may still occur.  Actually fixing this requires quite an
     	 intrusive change which will hopefully make the next merge window.

 (9) netfs: Fix the clearance of a folio_queue when unlocking the page if
     we're going to want to subsequently send the queue for copying to the
     cache (if, for example, we're using ceph).

(10) netfs: Fix the lack of cancellation of copy-to-cache when the cache
     for a file is temporarily disabled (for example when a DIO write is
     done to the file).  This patch and (9) fix hangs with ceph.

With these patches, I can run xfstest -g quick to completion on ceph with a
local cache.

The patches can also be found here with a bonus cifs patch:
