Subject: [PATCH 00/45] Permit filesystem local caching [ver #41]



These patches add local caching for network filesystems such as NFS and AFS.
These patches are also available in tarball format here:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/patches/nfs+fscache-41.tar.bz2


To give a really quick overview of the way the facility works:

+---------+
| |
| NFS |--+
| | |
+---------+ | +----------+
| | |
+---------+ +-->| |
| | | |
| AFS |----->| FS-Cache |
| | | |--+
+---------+ +-->| | |
| | | | +--------------+ +--------------+
+---------+ | +----------+ | | | | |
| | | +-->| CacheFiles |-->| Ext3 |
| ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache | | /dev/sda6 |
| | +--------------+ +--------------+
+---------+


(1) NFS, say, asks FS-Cache to store/retrieve data for it;

(2) FS-Cache asks the cache backend, in this case CacheFiles to honour the
operation;

(3) CacheFiles 'opens' a file in a mounted filesystem, say Ext3, and does read
and write operations of a sort on it;

(4) Ext3 decides how the cache data is laid out on disk - CacheFiles just
attempts to use one sparse file per netfs inode.

(5) If NFS asks for data from the cache, but the file has a hole in it, NFS
falls back to asking the server. The data obtained from the server is
then written over the hole in the file.

To look at it another way:

+---------+
| |
| Server |
| |
+---------+
| NETWORK
~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| +----------+
V | |
+---------+ | |
| | | |
| NFS |----->| FS-Cache |
| | | |--+
+---------+ | | | +--------------+ +--------------+
| | | | | | | |
V +----------+ +-->| CacheFiles |-->| Ext3 |
+---------+ | /var/cache | | /dev/sda6 |
| | +--------------+ +--------------+
| VFS | ^ ^
| | | |
+---------+ +--------------+ |
| KERNEL SPACE | |
~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~|~~~~
| USER SPACE | |
V | |
+---------+ +--------------+
| | | |
| Process | | cachefilesd |
| | | |
+---------+ +--------------+

FS-Cache attempts to provide a caching facility to a network filesystem such
that it's transparent to the users of that network filesystem.


The patches can roughly be broken down into a number of sets:

(*) 01-slow-work.diff
(*) 02-slow-work-dynamic.diff
(*) 03-slow-work-config.diff
(*) 04-slow-work-doc.diff

A thread pool for (very) slow work items, such as batches of lookup,
mkdir, create and [sg]etxattr calls.

It doesn't make sense to use an ordinary work queue because I want more
than one thread, but I don't want to be limited to 1 thread per CPU.
The work items in question take a long time, most of which is spent
sleeping on I/O. For the duration the worker thread is unable to do
anything else.

These four patches add the basic facility, make it dynamic, make it
configurable and document it.


(*) 05-release-page.diff

Call the page release function after a failed readahead.

(*) 06-fscache-page-flags.diff

Add two extra page flags that FS-Cache then uses to keep track of two
bits of per-cached-page information:

(1) This page is known by the cache, and that the cache must be
informed if the page is going to go away. It's an indication to
the netfs that the cache has an interest in this page, where an
interest may be a pointer to it, resources allocated or reserved
for it, or I/O in progress upon it.

(2) This page is being written to disk by the cache, and that it
cannot be released until completion. Ideally it shouldn't be
changed until completion either so as to maintain the known state
of the cache. This cannot be unified with PG_writeback as the
page may be being written to both the server and the cache at the
same time or at different times.

To avoid using extra page bits, I could, for example, set up a radix tree
per data storage object to keep track of both these bits, however this
would mean that the netfs would have to do a call, spinlock, conditional
jumps, etc to find out either state.

On the other hand, if we can spare two page flags, those are sufficient.

Note that the cache doesn't necessarily need to be able to find the netfs
pages, but may have to allocate/pin resources for backing them.

Further note that PG_private may not be used as I want to be able to use
caching with ISOFS eventually, and PG_private is owned by the block
buffer code.

These bits can be otherwise used by any filesystem that doesn't want to
use FS-Cache.

(*) 07-add_wait_queue_tail.diff

Make it possible to add an item to the back of a waitqueue instead of the
front


(*) 08-fscache-netfs-api.diff
(*) 09-fscache-backend-api.diff
(*) 10-fscache-kconfig.diff
(*) 11-fscache-proc.diff
(*) 12-fscache-fsdef.diff
(*) 13-fscache-tag-handling.diff
(*) 14-fscache-cache-handling.diff
(*) 15-fscache-cookie-jar.diff
(*) 16-fscache-netfs-reg.diff
(*) 17-fscache-bits.diff
(*) 18-fscache-object.diff
(*) 19-fscache-cookie.diff
(*) 20-fscache-operation.diff
(*) 21-fscache-io.diff

Patches to provide a local caching facility for network filesystems.

FS-Cache is a layer that takes requests from any one of a number of
netfs's and passes them to an appropriate cache, if there is one.
FS-Cache makes operations requested by the netfs transparently
asynchronous where possible.

FS-Cache also protects the netfs against (a) there being no cache, (b)
the cache suffering a fatal I/O error and (c) the cache being removed;
and protects the cache against (d) the netfs uncaching pages that the
cache is using and (e) conflicting operations from the netfs, some of
which may be queued for asynchronous processing.

Five documents in text file format that describe the FS-Cache interface
are added by these patches:

Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt gives an overview of the
facility and describes the statistical data it makes available.

Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt describes the API by
which a network filesystem would make use of the FS-Cache facility.

Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt describes the API that
a cache backend must implement to provide caching services through
FS-Cache.

Documentation/filesystems/caching/object.txt describes the object
management state machine used.

Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt describes the operation
scheduling facility provided and used by FS-Cache that can also be used
by cache backend modules.

The patches provide the following components of the FS-Cache facility:

(08) The netfs API header file and documentation. A netfs can actually
be built and run against just this patch. It won't actually do
anything without the later patches, though, but it will compile.

(09) The cache backend API header file and documentation.

(10) The main selector configuration option, the main module load/unload
hooks and the debugging code declarations. With this patch applied,
it is possible to enable caching in a client netfs, though it won't
actually do anything.

(11) The /proc files for statistics presentation, plus the internal
interfaces for driving it.

(12) The top level index definition.

(13) Cache reference tag handling.

(14) Cache (un)registration and error handling.

(15) Cookie (de)allocator and initialisation.

(16) Netfs (un)registration handling. This is partly usable. Without a
later patch, however, a cookie will be leaked from unregistration.

(17) Bit waiting utility functions.

(18) The object management state machine implementation and
documentation.

(19) Implementation of the cookie management part of the netfs API. With
this, it's possible for netfs's to actually be granted cookies and
to release them without error.

(20) Cache I/O operation scheduler and documentation.

(21) Implementation of the data I/O part of the netfs API.


(*) 22-cachefiles-ia64.diff
(*) 23-cachefiles-ext3-f_mapping.diff
(*) 24-cachefiles-write.diff
(*) 25-cachefiles-monitor.diff
(*) 26-cachefiles-export.diff
(*) 27-cachefiles.diff

Patches to provide a local cache in a directory of an already mounted
filesystem.

The latter patch adds a document in text file format that describes the
CacheFiles cache backend and gives instructions on how it is set up and
used. This will be Documentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.txt when
the patch is applied.

(*) 28-afs-fscache.diff

Patches to provide AFS with local caching.

(*) 29-nfs-comment.diff
(*) 30-nfs-fscache-option.diff
(*) 31-nfs-fscache-kconfig.diff
(*) 32-nfs-fscache-top-index.diff
(*) 33-nfs-fscache-server-obj.diff
(*) 34-nfs-fscache-super-obj.diff
(*) 35-nfs-fscache-inode-obj.diff
(*) 36-nfs-fscache-use-inode.diff
(*) 37-nfs-fscache-invalidate-pages.diff
(*) 38-nfs-fscache-iostats.diff
(*) 39-nfs-fscache-page-management.diff
(*) 40-nfs-fscache-read-context.diff
(*) 41-nfs-fscache-read-fallback.diff
(*) 42-nfs-fscache-read-from-cache.diff
(*) 43-nfs-fscache-store-to-cache.diff
(*) 44-nfs-fscache-display.diff
(*) 45-nfs-fscache-mount.diff

Patches to provide NFS with local caching.


The requisite security patches are now resident in James Morris's security
testing tree (branch next) and linux-next.

I've been testing these patches by throwing batches of eight parallel "tar cf"
commands across three different 350MB NFS-based kernel trees (3 tars on first
tree, 3 on second, 2 on third), sometimes with one or more of the trees
preloaded into the cache. The complete working data set does not fit into the
RAM of my test machine, so even three tars that can be entirely satisfied from
the cache, the cache may have to reread everything from disk.

I've also occasionally stopped the cache and restarted it whilst the tars were
using it, whilst both loading it up and reading it back.

I've also been running tars against AFS mounted kernel trees.

--
These patches should be built on top of:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6.git

branch 'next'.


To use this version of CacheFiles, the cachefilesd-0.9 is also required. It
is available as an SRPM:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.9-1.fc7.src.rpm

Or as individual bits:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.9.tar.bz2
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.fc
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.if
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.te
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd.spec

The .fc, .if and .te files are for manipulating SELinux.

Subject: [PATCH 01/45] Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items [ver #41]

Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such
as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may
sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable
for workqueues.

The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are
started when there's more work to do, up to a limit. Because of the nature of
the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool. A system with
one CPU may well want several threads.

This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such
as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

Subject: [PATCH 02/45] Make slow-work thread pool actually dynamic [ver #41]

Make the slow-work thread pool actually dynamic in the number of threads it
contains. With this patch, it will both create additional threads when it has
extra work to do, and cull excess threads that aren't doing anything.

Subject: [PATCH 03/45] Make the slow work pool configurable [ver #41]

Make the slow work pool configurable through /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work.

(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads

The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool as long as it is
in use. This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.

(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads

The maximum number of threads that should in the pool. This may be
anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.

(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage

The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
very slow work items. This may be between 1 and 99. The resultant number
is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

+ ====================================
+ SLOW WORK ITEM EXECUTION THREAD POOL
+ ====================================
+
+By: David Howells <[email protected]>
+
+The slow work item execution thread pool is a pool of threads for performing
+things that take a relatively long time, such as making mkdir calls.
+Typically, when processing something, these items will spend a lot of time
+blocking a thread on I/O, thus making that thread unavailable for doing other
+work.
+
+The standard workqueue model is unsuitable for this class of work item as that
+limits the owner to a single thread or a single thread per CPU. For some
+tasks, however, more threads - or fewer - are required.
+
+There is just one pool per system. It contains no threads unless something
+wants to use it - and that something must register its interest first. When
+the pool is active, the number of threads it contains is dynamic, varying
+between a maximum and minimum setting, depending on the load.
+
+
+====================
+CLASSES OF WORK ITEM
+====================
+
+This pool support two classes of work items:
+
+ (*) Slow work items.
+
+ (*) Very slow work items.
+
+The former are expected to finish much quicker than the latter.
+
+An operation of the very slow class may do a batch combination of several
+lookups, mkdirs, and a create for instance.
+
+An operation of the ordinarily slow class may, for example, write stuff or
+expand files, provided the time taken to do so isn't too long.
+
+Operations of both types may sleep during execution, thus tying up the thread
+loaned to it.
+
+
+THREAD-TO-CLASS ALLOCATION
+--------------------------
+
+Not all the threads in the pool are available to work on very slow work items.
+The number will be between one and one fewer than the number of active threads.
+This is configurable (see the "Pool Configuration" section).
+
+All the threads are available to work on ordinarily slow work items, but a
+percentage of the threads will prefer to work on very slow work items.
+
+The configuration ensures that at least one thread will be available to work on
+very slow work items, and at least one thread will be available that won't work
+on very slow work items at all.
+
+
+=====================
+USING SLOW WORK ITEMS
+=====================
+
+Firstly, a module or subsystem wanting to make use of slow work items must
+register its interest:
+
+ int ret = slow_work_register_user();
+
+This will return 0 if successful, or a -ve error upon failure.
+
+
+Slow work items may then be set up by:
+
+ (1) Declaring a slow_work struct type variable:
+
+ #include <linux/slow-work.h>
+
+ struct slow_work myitem;
+
+ (2) Declaring the operations to be used for this item:
+
+ struct slow_work_ops myitem_ops = {
+ .get_ref = myitem_get_ref,
+ .put_ref = myitem_put_ref,
+ .execute = myitem_execute,
+ };
+
+ [*] For a description of the ops, see section "Item Operations".
+
+ (3) Initialising the item:
+
+ slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
+
+ or:
+
+ vslow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
+
+ depending on its class.
+
+A suitably set up work item can then be enqueued for processing:
+
+ int ret = slow_work_enqueue(&myitem);
+
+This will return a -ve error if the thread pool is unable to gain a reference
+on the item, 0 otherwise.
+
+
+The items are reference counted, so there ought to be no need for a flush
+operation. When all a module's slow work items have been processed, and the
+module has no further interest in the facility, it should unregister its
+interest:
+
+ slow_work_unregister_user();
+
+
+===============
+ITEM OPERATIONS
+===============
+
+Each work item requires a table of operations of type struct slow_work_ops.
+All members are required:
+
+ (*) Get a reference on an item:
+
+ int (*get_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+ This allows the thread pool to attempt to pin an item by getting a
+ reference on it. This function should return 0 if the reference was
+ granted, or a -ve error otherwise. If an error is returned,
+ slow_work_enqueue() will fail.
+
+ The reference is held whilst the item is queued and whilst it is being
+ executed. The item may then be requeued with the same reference held, or
+ the reference will be released.
+
+ (*) Release a reference on an item:
+
+ void (*put_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+ This allows the thread pool to unpin an item by releasing the reference on
+ it. The thread pool will not touch the item again once this has been
+ called.
+
+ (*) Execute an item:
+
+ void (*execute)(struct slow_work *work);
+
+ This should perform the work required of the item. It may sleep, it may
+ perform disk I/O and it may wait for locks.
+
+
+==================
+POOL CONFIGURATION
+==================
+
+The slow-work thread pool has a number of configurables:
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads
+
+ The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool whilst it is in
+ use. This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads
+
+ The maximum number of threads that should in the pool. This may be
+ anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.
+
+ (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage
+
+ The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
+ very slow work items. This may be between 1 and 99. The resultant number
+ is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
+ This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
+ slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

Subject: [PATCH 06/45] FS-Cache: Recruit a couple of page flags for cache management [ver #41]

Recruit a couple of page flags to aid in cache management. The following extra
flags are defined:

(1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2)

The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the
cache driver.

(2) PG_fscache_write (PG_owner_priv_2)

The marked page is being written to the local cache. The page may not be
modified whilst this is in progress.

If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also
check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation.
The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both
PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

Subject: [PATCH 05/45] FS-Cache: Release page->private after failed readahead [ver #41]

The attached patch causes read_cache_pages() to release page-private data on a
page for which add_to_page_cache() fails or the filler function fails. This
permits pages with caching references associated with them to be cleaned up.

The invalidatepage() address space op is called (indirectly) to do the honours.

Subject: [PATCH 12/45] FS-Cache: Root index definition [ver #41]

Add a description of the root index of the cache for later patches to make use
of.

The root index is owned by FS-Cache itself. When a netfs requests caching
facilities, FS-Cache will, if one doesn't already exist, create an entry in
the root index with the key being the name of the netfs ("AFS" for example),
and the auxiliary data holding the index structure version supplied by the
netfs:

FSDEF
|
+-----------+
| |
NFS AFS
[v=1] [v=1]

If an entry with the appropriate name does already exist, the version is
compared. If the version is different, the entire subtree from that entry
will be discarded and a new entry created.

The new entry will be an index, and a cookie referring to it will be passed to
the netfs. This is then the root handle by which the netfs accesses the
cache. It can create whatever objects it likes in that index, including
further indices.

Subject: [PATCH 10/45] FS-Cache: Add main configuration option, module entry points and debugging [ver #41]

Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the
module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches.

The two configuration options added are:

CONFIG_FSCACHE
CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG

The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements
enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter
is a bitmask as described in:

Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt

The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in
the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.

Subject: [PATCH 13/45] FS-Cache: Add cache tag handling [ver #41]

Implement two features of FS-Cache:

(1) The ability to request and release cache tags - names by which a cache may
be known to a netfs, and thus selected for use.

(2) An internal function by which a cache is selected by consulting the netfs,
if the netfs wishes to be consulted.

Subject: [PATCH 11/45] FS-Cache: Add use of /proc and presentation of statistics [ver #41]

Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical
information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this
information.

These features are enabled by:

CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC
CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS
CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM

The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can
add their own statistics there too.

The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be
examined by userspace:

cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats
cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram

Subject: [PATCH 14/45] FS-Cache: Add cache management [ver #41]

Implement the entry points by which a cache backend may initialise, add,
declare an error upon and withdraw a cache.

Further, an object is created in sysfs under which each cache added will get
an object created:

/sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/

All of this is described in Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt
added by a previous patch.

Subject: [PATCH 16/45] FS-Cache: Add netfs registration [ver #41]

Add functions to register and unregister a network filesystem or other client
of the FS-Cache service. This allocates and releases the cookie representing
the top-level index for a netfs, and makes it available to the netfs.

If the FS-Cache facility is disabled, then the calls are optimised away at
compile time.

Note that whilst this patch may appear to work with FS-Cache enabled and a
netfs attempting to use it, it will leak the cookie it allocates for the netfs
as fscache_relinquish_cookie() is implemented in a later patch. This will
cause the slab code to emit a warning when the module is removed.

Subject: [PATCH 19/45] FS-Cache: Implement the cookie management part of the netfs API [ver #41]

Implement the cookie management part of the FS-Cache netfs client API. The
documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch.

This patch implements the following three functions:

(1) fscache_acquire_cookie().

Acquire a cookie to represent an object to the netfs. If the object in
question is a non-index object, then that object and its parent indices
will be created on disk at this point if they don't already exist. Index
creation is deferred because an index may reside in multiple caches.

(2) fscache_relinquish_cookie().

Retire or release a cookie previously acquired. At this point, the
object on disk may be destroyed.

(3) fscache_update_cookie().

Update the in-cache representation of a cookie. This is used to update
the auxiliary data for coherency management purposes.

With this patch it is possible to have a netfs instruct a cache backend to
look up, validate and create metadata on disk and to destroy it again.
The ability to actually store and retrieve data in the objects so created is
added in later patches.

Note that these functions will never return an error. _All_ errors are
handled internally to FS-Cache.

The worst that can happen is that fscache_acquire_cookie() may return a NULL
pointer - which is considered a negative cookie pointer and can be passed back
to any function that takes a cookie without harm. A negative cookie pointer
merely suppresses caching at that level.

The stub in linux/fscache.h will detect inline the negative cookie pointer and
abort the operation as fast as possible. This means that the compiler doesn't
have to set up for a call in that case.

See the documentation in Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt for
more information.

Subject: [PATCH 18/45] FS-Cache: Object management state machine [ver #41]

Implement the cache object management state machine.

The following documentation is added to illuminate the working of this state
machine. It will also be added as:

Documentation/filesystems/caching/object.txt

====================================================
IN-KERNEL CACHE OBJECT REPRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
====================================================

==============
REPRESENTATION
==============

FS-Cache maintains an in-kernel representation of each object that a netfs is
currently interested in. Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie
struct and are referred to as cookies.

FS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that
a cache backend is currently actively caching. Such objects are represented by
the fscache_object struct. The cache backends allocate these upon request, and
are expected to embed them in their own representations. These are referred to
as objects.

There is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects. A cookie may be
represented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache -
or even by no objects (it may not be cached).

Furthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical. The two hierarchies
correspond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees
of multiple caches:

NETFS INDEX TREE : CACHE 1 : CACHE 2
: :
: +-----------+ :
+----------->| IObject | :
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ :
| ICookie |-------+ : | :
+-----------+ | : | : +-----------+
| +------------------------------>| IObject |
| : | : +-----------+
| : V : |
| : +-----------+ : |
V +----------->| IObject | : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| ICookie |-------+ : | : V
+-----------+ | : | : +-----------+
| +------------------------------>| IObject |
+-----+-----+ : | : +-----------+
| | : | : |
V | : V : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| ICookie |------------------------->| IObject | : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| V : | : V
| +-----------+ : | : +-----------+
| | ICookie |-------------------------------->| IObject |
| +-----------+ : | : +-----------+
V | : V : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| DCookie |------------------------->| DObject | : |
+-----------+ | : +-----------+ : |
| : : |
+-------+-------+ : : |
| | : : |
V V : : V
+-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
| DCookie | | DCookie |------------------------>| DObject |
+-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
: :

In the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie
and DObject represent data storage objects. Indices may have representation in
multiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not. Objects of any type
may also be entirely unrepresented.

As far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see
pointers to the cookies. The cookies themselves and any objects attached to
those cookies are hidden from it.


===============================
OBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE
===============================

Within FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state
machine. The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in
object->state. A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different
states.

Each state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine
wakes up in that state. There are four logical sets of states:

(1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready. The
representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must
be created or accessed with respect to its parent object.

(2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate
what's found and that create on disk any missing metadata.

(3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed
and that update the state of objects.

(4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that
delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free
up in-memory resources.


In most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events.
When a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in
which it is interested (object->event_mask) and relinquish the worker thread.
Then when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event
is not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling
fscache_enqueue_object()).


PROVISION OF CPU TIME
---------------------

The work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of
the slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt). This is used in
preference to the workqueue facility because:

(1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a
particular work item. These state actions may be doing sequences of
synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr,
getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename).

(2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time
sleeping on I/O. This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded
workqueues don't necessarily have the right numbers of threads.


LOCKING SIMPLIFICATION
----------------------

Because only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object's
state machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect
to disconnecting the netfs's representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie)
from the cache backend's representation (fscache_object) - which may be
requested from either end.


=================
THE SET OF STATES
=================

The object state machine has a set of states that it can be in. There are
preparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent
object to transit to a state that allows access to its children:

(1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT.

Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active. In
the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object
up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked
up.

There are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses
disk for the object metadata:

(2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP.

Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.
FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this
object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it's valid (coherency
management).

The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup
failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to
indicate success.

At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with
read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached. If not yet
cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until
the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data
to be read out of the cache for that file that isn't currently also held
in the pagecache.

(3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING.

Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. This
happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object's
coherency data indicated what's on disk is out of date. In this state,
FS-Cache expects the cache to create

The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes
successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise.

At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write
operations the netfs has queued for an object. If creation failed, the
write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the
cache.

There are some normal running states in which the object spends its time
servicing netfs requests:

(4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE.

A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects
are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary
lookup data is freed.

(5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE.

The normal running state. In this state, requests the netfs makes will be
passed on to the cache.

(6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING.

The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the
netfs's records. This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used
to maintain coherency.

And there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates
memory and potentially deletes stuff from disk:

(7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING.

The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation
error. This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort.
Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released.

(8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING.

The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent
cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being
withdrawn.

Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too
can destroy themselves. This object waits for all its children to go away
before advancing to the next state.

(9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT.

The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in
FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died. The object will destroy itself
so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state.

(10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING.
(11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.

The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of
all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its
cookie. In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and
in the second it will be deleted.

(12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.

The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to
withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to
error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn.

(13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD.

The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is
ready to be deleted. The object processor shouldn't ever see an object in
this state.


THE SET OF EVENTS
-----------------

There are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine:

(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE

The netfs requested that an object be updated. The state machine will ask
the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the
netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops.

(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED

This is signalled in two circumstances:

(a) when an object's last child object is dropped and

(b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed.

This is used to proceed from the dying state.

(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR

This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some
object.

(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE
(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE

These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using.
The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing
object to be retired (deleted) or retained.

(*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW

This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object.
This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs's
cookie.

Because the withdrawing releasing/retiring events are all handled by the object
state machine, it doesn't matter if there's a collision with both ends trying
to sever the connection at the same time. The state machine can just pick
which one it wants to honour, and that effects the other.

+REPRESENTATION
+==============
+
+FS-Cache maintains an in-kernel representation of each object that a netfs is
+currently interested in. Such objects are represented by the fscache_cookie
+struct and are referred to as cookies.
+
+FS-Cache also maintains a separate in-kernel representation of the objects that
+a cache backend is currently actively caching. Such objects are represented by
+the fscache_object struct. The cache backends allocate these upon request, and
+are expected to embed them in their own representations. These are referred to
+as objects.
+
+There is a 1:N relationship between cookies and objects. A cookie may be
+represented by multiple objects - an index may exist in more than one cache -
+or even by no objects (it may not be cached).
+
+Furthermore, both cookies and objects are hierarchical. The two hierarchies
+correspond, but the cookies tree is a superset of the union of the object trees
+of multiple caches:
+
+ NETFS INDEX TREE : CACHE 1 : CACHE 2
+ : :

+ +----------->| IObject | :

+ V V : : V
+ +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
+ | DCookie | | DCookie |------------------------>| DObject |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+ : : +-----------+
+ : :
+
+In the above illustration, ICookie and IObject represent indices and DCookie
+and DObject represent data storage objects. Indices may have representation in
+multiple caches, but currently, non-index objects may not. Objects of any type
+may also be entirely unrepresented.
+
+As far as the netfs API goes, the netfs is only actually permitted to see
+pointers to the cookies. The cookies themselves and any objects attached to
+those cookies are hidden from it.
+
+
+===============================
+OBJECT MANAGEMENT STATE MACHINE
+===============================
+
+Within FS-Cache, each active object is managed by its own individual state
+machine. The state for an object is kept in the fscache_object struct, in
+object->state. A cookie may point to a set of objects that are in different
+states.
+
+Each state has an action associated with it that is invoked when the machine
+wakes up in that state. There are four logical sets of states:
+
+ (1) Preparation: states that wait for the parent objects to become ready. The
+ representations are hierarchical, and it is expected that an object must
+ be created or accessed with respect to its parent object.
+
+ (2) Initialisation: states that perform lookups in the cache and validate
+ what's found and that create on disk any missing metadata.
+
+ (3) Normal running: states that allow netfs operations on objects to proceed
+ and that update the state of objects.
+
+ (4) Termination: states that detach objects from their netfs cookies, that
+ delete objects from disk, that handle disk and system errors and that free
+ up in-memory resources.
+
+
+In most cases, transitioning between states is in response to signalled events.
+When a state has finished processing, it will usually set the mask of events in
+which it is interested (object->event_mask) and relinquish the worker thread.
+Then when an event is raised (by calling fscache_raise_event()), if the event
+is not masked, the object will be queued for processing (by calling
+fscache_enqueue_object()).
+
+
+PROVISION OF CPU TIME
+---------------------
+
+The work to be done by the various states is given CPU time by the threads of
+the slow work facility (see Documentation/slow-work.txt). This is used in
+preference to the workqueue facility because:
+
+ (1) Threads may be completely occupied for very long periods of time by a
+ particular work item. These state actions may be doing sequences of
+ synchronous, journalled disk accesses (lookup, mkdir, create, setxattr,
+ getxattr, truncate, unlink, rmdir, rename).
+
+ (2) Threads may do little actual work, but may rather spend a lot of time
+ sleeping on I/O. This means that single-threaded and 1-per-CPU-threaded
+ workqueues don't necessarily have the right numbers of threads.
+
+
+LOCKING SIMPLIFICATION
+----------------------
+
+Because only one worker thread may be operating on any particular object's
+state machine at once, this simplifies the locking, particularly with respect
+to disconnecting the netfs's representation of a cache object (fscache_cookie)
+from the cache backend's representation (fscache_object) - which may be
+requested from either end.
+
+
+=================
+THE SET OF STATES
+=================
+
+The object state machine has a set of states that it can be in. There are
+preparation states in which the object sets itself up and waits for its parent
+object to transit to a state that allows access to its children:
+
+ (1) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT.
+
+ Initialise the object and wait for the parent object to become active. In
+ the cache, it is expected that it will not be possible to look an object
+ up from the parent object, until that parent object itself has been looked
+ up.
+
+There are initialisation states in which the object sets itself up and accesses
+disk for the object metadata:
+
+ (2) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKING_UP.
+
+ Look up the object on disk, using the parent as a starting point.
+ FS-Cache expects the cache backend to probe the cache to see whether this
+ object is represented there, and if it is, to see if it's valid (coherency
+ management).
+
+ The cache should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() to indicate lookup
+ failure for whatever reason, and should call fscache_obtained_object() to
+ indicate success.
+
+ At the completion of lookup, FS-Cache will let the netfs go ahead with
+ read operations, no matter whether the file is yet cached. If not yet
+ cached, read operations will be immediately rejected with ENODATA until
+ the first known page is uncached - as to that point there can be no data
+ to be read out of the cache for that file that isn't currently also held
+ in the pagecache.
+
+ (3) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_CREATING.
+
+ Create an object on disk, using the parent as a starting point. This
+ happens if the lookup failed to find the object, or if the object's
+ coherency data indicated what's on disk is out of date. In this state,
+ FS-Cache expects the cache to create
+
+ The cache should call fscache_obtained_object() if creation completes
+ successfully, fscache_object_lookup_negative() otherwise.
+
+ At the completion of creation, FS-Cache will start processing write
+ operations the netfs has queued for an object. If creation failed, the
+ write ops will be transparently discarded, and nothing recorded in the
+ cache.
+
+There are some normal running states in which the object spends its time
+servicing netfs requests:
+
+ (4) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE.
+
+ A transient state in which pending operations are started, child objects
+ are permitted to advance from FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT state, and temporary
+ lookup data is freed.
+
+ (5) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ACTIVE.
+
+ The normal running state. In this state, requests the netfs makes will be
+ passed on to the cache.
+
+ (6) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_UPDATING.
+
+ The state machine comes here to update the object in the cache from the
+ netfs's records. This involves updating the auxiliary data that is used
+ to maintain coherency.
+
+And there are terminal states in which an object cleans itself up, deallocates
+memory and potentially deletes stuff from disk:
+
+ (7) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_LC_DYING.
+
+ The object comes here if it is dying because of a lookup or creation
+ error. This would be due to a disk error or system error of some sort.
+ Temporary data is cleaned up, and the parent is released.
+
+ (8) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING.
+
+ The object comes here if it is dying due to an error, because its parent
+ cookie has been relinquished by the netfs or because the cache is being
+ withdrawn.
+
+ Any child objects waiting on this one are given CPU time so that they too
+ can destroy themselves. This object waits for all its children to go away
+ before advancing to the next state.
+
+ (9) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_ABORT_INIT.
+
+ The object comes to this state if it was waiting on its parent in
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_INIT, but its parent died. The object will destroy itself
+ so that the parent may proceed from the FSCACHE_OBJECT_DYING state.
+
+(10) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RELEASING.
+(11) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.
+
+ The object comes to one of these two states when dying once it is rid of
+ all its children, if it is dying because the netfs relinquished its
+ cookie. In the first state, the cached data is expected to persist, and
+ in the second it will be deleted.
+
+(12) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.
+
+ The object transits to this state if the cache decides it wants to
+ withdraw the object from service, perhaps to make space, but also due to
+ error or just because the whole cache is being withdrawn.
+
+(13) State FSCACHE_OBJECT_DEAD.
+
+ The object transits to this state when the in-memory object record is
+ ready to be deleted. The object processor shouldn't ever see an object in
+ this state.
+
+
+THE SET OF EVENTS
+-----------------
+
+There are a number of events that can be raised to an object state machine:
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_UPDATE
+
+ The netfs requested that an object be updated. The state machine will ask
+ the cache backend to update the object, and the cache backend will ask the
+ netfs for details of the change through its cookie definition ops.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_CLEARED
+
+ This is signalled in two circumstances:
+
+ (a) when an object's last child object is dropped and
+
+ (b) when the last operation outstanding on an object is completed.
+
+ This is used to proceed from the dying state.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_ERROR
+
+ This is signalled when an I/O error occurs during the processing of some
+ object.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RELEASE
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_RETIRE
+
+ These are signalled when the netfs relinquishes a cookie it was using.
+ The event selected depends on whether the netfs asks for the backing

+
+ (*) FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_WITHDRAW
+
+ This is signalled when the cache backend wants to withdraw an object.
+ This means that the object will have to be detached from the netfs's

+

+which one it wants to honour, and that effects the other.

Subject: [PATCH 15/45] FS-Cache: Provide a slab for cookie allocation [ver #41]

Provide a slab from which can be allocated the FS-Cache cookies that will be
presented to the netfs.

Also provide a slab constructor and a function to recursively discard a cookie
and its ancestor chain.

currently recorded is the file size. Only pages within the set file size
will be stored in the cache.

This operation is submitted for asynchronous processing, and will return
immediately. It will return -ENOMEM if an out of memory error is
encountered, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached, or 0 if the
operation is successfully queued.

(*) fscache_read_or_alloc_page().
(*) fscache_read_or_alloc_pages().

Request data be fetched from the disk, and allocate internal metadata to
track the netfs pages and reserve disk space for unknown pages.

These operations perform semi-asynchronous data reads. Upon returning
they will indicate which pages they think can be retrieved from disk, and
will have set in progress attempts to retrieve those pages.

These will return, in order of preference, -ENOMEM on memory allocation
error, -ERESTARTSYS if a signal interrupted proceedings, -ENODATA if one
or more requested pages are not yet cached, -ENOBUFS if the object is not
actually cached or if there isn't space for future pages to be cached on
this object, or 0 if successful.

In the case of the multipage function, the pages for which reads are set
in progress will be removed from the list and the page count decreased
appropriately.

If any read operations should fail, the completion function will be given
an error, and will also be passed contextual information to allow the
netfs to fall back to querying the server for the absent pages.

For each successful read, the page completion function will also be
called.

Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon
them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages.

If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be
invoked for any pages now tracked.

(*) fscache_alloc_page().

Allocate internal metadata to track a netfs page and reserve disk space.

This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on
signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't enough space
in the cache, or 0 if successful.

Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon
them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages.

If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be
invoked for any pages now tracked.

(*) fscache_write_page().

Request data be stored to disk. This may only be called on pages that
have been read or alloc'd by the above three functions and have not yet
been uncached.

This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on
signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't immediately
enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful.

On a successful return, this operation will have queued the page for
asynchronous writing to the cache. The page will be returned with
PG_fscache_write set until the write completes one way or another. The
caller will not be notified if the write fails due to an I/O error. If
that happens, the object will become available and all pending writes will
be aborted.

Note that the cache may batch up page writes, and so it may take a while
to get around to writing them out.

The caller must assume that until PG_fscache_write is cleared the page is
use by the cache. Any changes made to the page may be reflected on disk.
The page may even be under DMA.

(*) fscache_uncache_page().

Indicate that the cache should stop tracking a page previously read or
alloc'd from the cache. If the page was alloc'd only, but unwritten, it
will not appear on disk.

Subject: [PATCH 25/45] CacheFiles: Permit the page lock state to be monitored [ver #41]

Add a function to install a monitor on the page lock waitqueue for a particular
page, thus allowing the page being unlocked to be detected.

This is used by CacheFiles to detect read completion on a page in the backing
filesystem so that it can then copy the data to the waiting netfs page.

Subject: [PATCH 09/45] FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache cache backend API and documentation [ver #41]

Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which caches may declare them
selves open for business, and may obtain work to be done from network
filesystems. The header file is included by:

#include <linux/fscache-cache.h>

Documentation for the API is also added to:

Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt

This API is not usable without the implementation of the utility functions
which will be added in further patches.

+ ==========================
+ FS-CACHE CACHE BACKEND API
+ ==========================
+
+The FS-Cache system provides an API by which actual caches can be supplied to
+FS-Cache for it to then serve out to network filesystems and other interested
+parties.
+
+This API is declared in <linux/fscache-cache.h>.
+
+
+====================================
+INITIALISING AND REGISTERING A CACHE
+====================================
+
+To start off, a cache definition must be initialised and registered for each
+cache the backend wants to make available. For instance, CacheFS does this in
+the fill_super() operation on mounting.
+
+The cache definition (struct fscache_cache) should be initialised by calling:
+
+ void fscache_init_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+ struct fscache_cache_ops *ops,
+ const char *idfmt,
+ ...);
+
+Where:
+
+ (*) "cache" is a pointer to the cache definition;
+
+ (*) "ops" is a pointer to the table of operations that the backend supports on
+ this cache; and
+
+ (*) "idfmt" is a format and printf-style arguments for constructing a label
+ for the cache.
+
+
+The cache should then be registered with FS-Cache by passing a pointer to the
+previously initialised cache definition to:
+
+ int fscache_add_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+ struct fscache_object *fsdef,
+ const char *tagname);
+
+Two extra arguments should also be supplied:
+
+ (*) "fsdef" which should point to the object representation for the FS-Cache
+ master index in this cache. Netfs primary index entries will be created
+ here. FS-Cache keeps the caller's reference to the index object if
+ successful and will release it upon withdrawal of the cache.
+
+ (*) "tagname" which, if given, should be a text string naming this cache. If
+ this is NULL, the identifier will be used instead. For CacheFS, the
+ identifier is set to name the underlying block device and the tag can be
+ supplied by mount.
+
+This function may return -ENOMEM if it ran out of memory or -EEXIST if the tag
+is already in use. 0 will be returned on success.
+
+
+=====================
+UNREGISTERING A CACHE
+=====================
+
+A cache can be withdrawn from the system by calling this function with a
+pointer to the cache definition:
+
+ void fscache_withdraw_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache);
+
+In CacheFS's case, this is called by put_super().
+
+
+========
+SECURITY
+========
+
+The cache methods are executed one of two contexts:
+
+ (1) that of the userspace process that issued the netfs operation that caused
+ the cache method to be invoked, or
+
+ (2) that of one of the processes in the FS-Cache thread pool.
+
+In either case, this may not be an appropriate context in which to access the
+cache.
+
+The calling process's fsuid, fsgid and SELinux security identities may need to
+be masqueraded for the duration of the cache driver's access to the cache.
+This is left to the cache to handle; FS-Cache makes no effort in this regard.
+
+
+===================================
+CONTROL AND STATISTICS PRESENTATION
+===================================
+
+The cache may present data to the outside world through FS-Cache's interfaces
+in sysfs and procfs - the former for control and the latter for statistics.
+
+A sysfs directory called /sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/ is created if CONFIG_SYSFS
+is enabled. This is accessible through the kobject struct fscache_cache::kobj
+and is for use by the cache as it sees fit.
+
+The cache driver may create itself a directory named for the cache type in the
+/proc/fs/fscache/ directory. This is available if CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC is
+enabled and is accessible through:
+
+ struct proc_dir_entry *proc_fscache;
+
+
+========================
+RELEVANT DATA STRUCTURES
+========================
+
+ (*) Index/Data file FS-Cache representation cookie:
+
+ struct fscache_cookie {
+ struct fscache_object_def *def;
+ struct fscache_netfs *netfs;
+ void *netfs_data;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ The fields that might be of use to the backend describe the object
+ definition, the netfs definition and the netfs's data for this cookie.
+ The object definition contain functions supplied by the netfs for loading
+ and matching index entries; these are required to provide some of the
+ cache operations.
+
+
+ (*) In-cache object representation:
+
+ struct fscache_object {
+ int debug_id;
+ enum {
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING,
+ ...
+ } state;
+ spinlock_t lock
+ struct fscache_cache *cache;
+ struct fscache_cookie *cookie;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ Structures of this type should be allocated by the cache backend and
+ passed to FS-Cache when requested by the appropriate cache operation. In
+ the case of CacheFS, they're embedded in CacheFS's internal object
+ structures.
+
+ The debug_id is a simple integer that can be used in debugging messages
+ that refer to a particular object. In such a case it should be printed
+ using "OBJ%x" to be consistent with FS-Cache.
+
+ Each object contains a pointer to the cookie that represents the object it
+ is backing. An object should retired when put_object() is called if it is
+ in state FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING. The fscache_object struct should be
+ initialised by calling fscache_object_init(object).
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache operation record:
+
+ struct fscache_operation {
+ atomic_t usage;
+ struct fscache_object *object;
+ unsigned long flags;
+ #define FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE
+ void (*processor)(struct fscache_operation *op);
+ void (*release)(struct fscache_operation *op);
+ ...
+ };
+
+ FS-Cache has a pool of threads that it uses to give CPU time to the
+ various asynchronous operations that need to be done as part of driving
+ the cache. These are represented by the above structure. The processor
+ method is called to give the op CPU time, and the release method to get
+ rid of it when its usage count reaches 0.
+
+ An operation can be made exclusive upon an object by setting the
+ appropriate flag before enqueuing it with fscache_enqueue_operation(). If
+ an operation needs more processing time, it should be enqueued again.
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache retrieval operation record:
+
+ struct fscache_retrieval {
+ struct fscache_operation op;
+ struct address_space *mapping;
+ struct list_head *to_do;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ A structure of this type is allocated by FS-Cache to record retrieval and
+ allocation requests made by the netfs. This struct is then passed to the
+ backend to do the operation. The backend may get extra refs to it by
+ calling fscache_get_retrieval() and refs may be discarded by calling
+ fscache_put_retrieval().
+
+ A retrieval operation can be used by the backend to do retrieval work. To
+ do this, the retrieval->op.processor method pointer should be set
+ appropriately by the backend and fscache_enqueue_retrieval() called to
+ submit it to the thread pool. CacheFiles, for example, uses this to queue
+ page examination when it detects PG_lock being cleared.
+
+ The to_do field is an empty list available for the cache backend to use as
+ it sees fit.
+
+
+ (*) FS-Cache storage operation record:
+
+ struct fscache_storage {
+ struct fscache_operation op;
+ pgoff_t store_limit;
+ ...
+ };
+
+ A structure of this type is allocated by FS-Cache to record outstanding
+ writes to be made. FS-Cache itself enqueues this operation and invokes
+ the write_page() method on the object at appropriate times to effect
+ storage.
+
+
+================
+CACHE OPERATIONS
+================
+
+The cache backend provides FS-Cache with a table of operations that can be
+performed on the denizens of the cache. These are held in a structure of type:
+
+ struct fscache_cache_ops
+
+ (*) Name of cache provider [mandatory]:
+
+ const char *name
+
+ This isn't strictly an operation, but should be pointed at a string naming
+ the backend.
+
+
+ (*) Allocate a new object [mandatory]:
+
+ struct fscache_object *(*alloc_object)(struct fscache_cache *cache,
+ struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
+
+ This method is used to allocate a cache object representation to back a
+ cookie in a particular cache. fscache_object_init() should be called on
+ the object to initialise it prior to returning.
+
+ This function may also be used to parse the index key to be used for
+ multiple lookup calls to turn it into a more convenient form. FS-Cache
+ will call the lookup_complete() method to allow the cache to release the
+ form once lookup is complete or aborted.
+
+
+ (*) Look up and create object [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*lookup_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This method is used to look up an object, given that the object is already
+ allocated and attached to the cookie. This should instantiate that object
+ in the cache if it can.
+
+ The method should call fscache_object_lookup_negative() as soon as
+ possible if it determines the object doesn't exist in the cache. If the
+ object is found to exist and the netfs indicates that it is valid then
+ fscache_obtained_object() should be called once the object is in a
+ position to have data stored in it. Similarly, fscache_obtained_object()
+ should also be called once a non-present object has been created.
+
+ If a lookup error occurs, fscache_object_lookup_error() should be called
+ to abort the lookup of that object.
+
+
+ (*) Release lookup data [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*lookup_complete)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This method is called to ask the cache to release any resources it was
+ using to perform a lookup.
+
+
+ (*) Increment object refcount [mandatory]:
+
+ struct fscache_object *(*grab_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This method is called to increment the reference count on an object. It
+ may fail (for instance if the cache is being withdrawn) by returning NULL.
+ It should return the object pointer if successful.
+
+
+ (*) Lock/Unlock object [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*lock_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+ void (*unlock_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ These methods are used to exclusively lock an object. It must be possible
+ to schedule with the lock held, so a spinlock isn't sufficient.
+
+
+ (*) Pin/Unpin object [optional]:
+
+ int (*pin_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+ void (*unpin_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ These methods are used to pin an object into the cache. Once pinned an
+ object cannot be reclaimed to make space. Return -ENOSPC if there's not
+ enough space in the cache to permit this.
+
+
+ (*) Update object [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*update_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This is called to update the index entry for the specified object. The
+ new information should be in object->cookie->netfs_data. This can be
+ obtained by calling object->cookie->def->get_aux()/get_attr().
+
+
+ (*) Discard object [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*drop_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This method is called to indicate that an object has been unbound from its
+ cookie, and that the cache should release the object's resources and
+ retire it if it's in state FSCACHE_OBJECT_RECYCLING.
+
+ This method should not attempt to release any references held by the
+ caller. The caller will invoke the put_object() method as appropriate.
+
+
+ (*) Release object reference [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*put_object)(struct fscache_object *object)
+
+ This method is used to discard a reference to an object. The object may
+ be freed when all the references to it are released.
+
+
+ (*) Synchronise a cache [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*sync)(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+ This is called to ask the backend to synchronise a cache with its backing
+ device.
+
+
+ (*) Dissociate a cache [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*dissociate_pages)(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+ This is called to ask a cache to perform any page dissociations as part of
+ cache withdrawal.
+
+
+ (*) Notification that the attributes on a netfs file changed [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*attr_changed)(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This is called to indicate to the cache that certain attributes on a netfs
+ file have changed (for example the maximum size a file may reach). The
+ cache can read these from the netfs by calling the cookie's get_attr()
+ method.
+
+ The cache may use the file size information to reserve space on the cache.
+ It should also call fscache_set_store_limit() to indicate to FS-Cache the
+ highest byte it's willing to store for an object.
+
+ This method may return -ve if an error occurred or the cache object cannot
+ be expanded. In such a case, the object will be withdrawn from service.
+
+ This operation is run asynchronously from FS-Cache's thread pool, and
+ storage and retrieval operations from the netfs are excluded during the
+ execution of this operation.
+
+
+ (*) Reserve cache space for an object's data [optional]:
+
+ int (*reserve_space)(struct fscache_object *object, loff_t size);
+
+ This is called to request that cache space be reserved to hold the data
+ for an object and the metadata used to track it. Zero size should be
+ taken as request to cancel a reservation.
+
+ This should return 0 if successful, -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space
+ available, or -ENOMEM or -EIO on other errors.
+
+ The reservation may exceed the current size of the object, thus permitting
+ future expansion. If the amount of space consumed by an object would
+ exceed the reservation, it's permitted to refuse requests to allocate
+ pages, but not required. An object may be pruned down to its reservation
+ size if larger than that already.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be read from cache [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*read_or_alloc_page)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+ struct page *page,
+ gfp_t gfp)
+
+ This is called to attempt to read a netfs page from the cache, or to
+ reserve a backing block if not. FS-Cache will have done as much checking
+ as it can before calling, but most of the work belongs to the backend.
+
+ If there's no page in the cache, then -ENODATA should be returned if the
+ backend managed to reserve a backing block; -ENOBUFS or -ENOMEM if it
+ didn't.
+
+ If there is suitable data in the cache, then a read operation should be
+ queued and 0 returned. When the read finishes, fscache_end_io() should be
+ called.
+
+ The fscache_mark_pages_cached() should be called for the page if any cache
+ metadata is retained. This will indicate to the netfs that the page needs
+ explicit uncaching. This operation takes a pagevec, thus allowing several
+ pages to be marked at once.
+
+ The retrieval record pointed to by op should be retained for each page
+ queued and released when I/O on the page has been formally ended.
+ fscache_get/put_retrieval() are available for this purpose.
+
+ The retrieval record may be used to get CPU time via the FS-Cache thread
+ pool. If this is desired, the op->op.processor should be set to point to
+ the appropriate processing routine, and fscache_enqueue_retrieval() should
+ be called at an appropriate point to request CPU time. For instance, the
+ retrieval routine could be enqueued upon the completion of a disk read.
+ The to_do field in the retrieval record is provided to aid in this.
+
+ If an I/O error occurs, fscache_io_error() should be called and -ENOBUFS
+ returned if possible or fscache_end_io() called with a suitable error
+ code..
+
+
+ (*) Request pages be read from cache [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*read_or_alloc_pages)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+ struct list_head *pages,
+ unsigned *nr_pages,
+ gfp_t gfp)
+
+ This is like the read_or_alloc_page() method, except it is handed a list
+ of pages instead of one page. Any pages on which a read operation is
+ started must be added to the page cache for the specified mapping and also
+ to the LRU. Such pages must also be removed from the pages list and
+ *nr_pages decremented per page.
+
+ If there was an error such as -ENOMEM, then that should be returned; else
+ if one or more pages couldn't be read or allocated, then -ENOBUFS should
+ be returned; else if one or more pages couldn't be read, then -ENODATA
+ should be returned. If all the pages are dispatched then 0 should be
+ returned.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be allocated in the cache [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*allocate_page)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+ struct page *page,
+ gfp_t gfp)
+
+ This is like the read_or_alloc_page() method, except that it shouldn't
+ read from the cache, even if there's data there that could be retrieved.
+ It should, however, set up any internal metadata required such that
+ the write_page() method can write to the cache.
+
+ If there's no backing block available, then -ENOBUFS should be returned
+ (or -ENOMEM if there were other problems). If a block is successfully
+ allocated, then the netfs page should be marked and 0 returned.
+
+
+ (*) Request pages be allocated in the cache [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*allocate_pages)(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+ struct list_head *pages,
+ unsigned *nr_pages,
+ gfp_t gfp)
+
+ This is an multiple page version of the allocate_page() method. pages and
+ nr_pages should be treated as for the read_or_alloc_pages() method.
+
+
+ (*) Request page be written to cache [mandatory]:
+
+ int (*write_page)(struct fscache_storage *op,
+ struct page *page);
+
+ This is called to write from a page on which there was a previously
+ successful read_or_alloc_page() call or similar. FS-Cache filters out
+ pages that don't have mappings.
+
+ This method is called asynchronously from the FS-Cache thread pool. It is
+ not required to actually store anything, provided -ENODATA is then
+ returned to the next read of this page.
+
+ If an error occurred, then a negative error code should be returned,
+ otherwise zero should be returned. FS-Cache will take appropriate action
+ in response to an error, such as withdrawing this object.
+
+ If this method returns success then FS-Cache will inform the netfs
+ appropriately.
+
+
+ (*) Discard retained per-page metadata [mandatory]:
+
+ void (*uncache_page)(struct fscache_object *object, struct page *page)
+
+ This is called when a netfs page is being evicted from the pagecache. The
+ cache backend should tear down any internal representation or tracking it
+ maintains for this page.
+
+
+==================
+FS-CACHE UTILITIES
+==================
+
+FS-Cache provides some utilities that a cache backend may make use of:
+
+ (*) Note occurrence of an I/O error in a cache:
+
+ void fscache_io_error(struct fscache_cache *cache)
+
+ This tells FS-Cache that an I/O error occurred in the cache. After this
+ has been called, only resource dissociation operations (object and page
+ release) will be passed from the netfs to the cache backend for the
+ specified cache.
+
+ This does not actually withdraw the cache. That must be done separately.
+
+
+ (*) Invoke the retrieval I/O completion function:
+
+ void fscache_end_io(struct fscache_retrieval *op, struct page *page,
+ int error);
+
+ This is called to note the end of an attempt to retrieve a page. The
+ error value should be 0 if successful and an error otherwise.
+
+
+ (*) Set highest store limit:
+
+ void fscache_set_store_limit(struct fscache_object *object,
+ loff_t i_size);
+
+ This sets the limit FS-Cache imposes on the highest byte it's willing to
+ try and store for a netfs. Any page over this limit is automatically
+ rejected by fscache_read_alloc_page() and co with -ENOBUFS.
+
+
+ (*) Mark pages as being cached:
+
+ void fscache_mark_pages_cached(struct fscache_retrieval *op,
+ struct pagevec *pagevec);
+
+ This marks a set of pages as being cached. After this has been called,
+ the netfs must call fscache_uncache_page() to unmark the pages.
+
+
+ (*) Perform coherency check on an object:
+
+ enum fscache_checkaux fscache_check_aux(struct fscache_object *object,
+ const void *data,
+ uint16_t datalen);
+
+ This asks the netfs to perform a coherency check on an object that has
+ just been looked up. The cookie attached to the object will determine the
+ netfs to use. data and datalen should specify where the auxiliary data
+ retrieved from the cache can be found.
+
+ One of three values will be returned:
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OKAY
+
+ The coherency data indicates the object is valid as is.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_NEEDS_UPDATE
+
+ The coherency data needs updating, but otherwise the object is
+ valid.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OBSOLETE
+
+ The coherency data indicates that the object is obsolete and should
+ be discarded.
+
+
+ (*) Initialise a freshly allocated object:
+
+ void fscache_object_init(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This initialises all the fields in an object representation.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate the destruction of an object:
+
+ void fscache_object_destroyed(struct fscache_cache *cache);
+
+ This must be called to inform FS-Cache that an object that belonged to a
+ cache has been destroyed and deallocated. This will allow continuation
+ of the cache withdrawal process when it is stopped pending destruction of
+ all the objects.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate negative lookup on an object:
+
+ void fscache_object_lookup_negative(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This is called to indicate to FS-Cache that a lookup process for an object
+ found a negative result.
+
+ This changes the state of an object to permit reads pending on lookup
+ completion to go off and start fetching data from the netfs server as it's
+ known at this point that there can't be any data in the cache.
+
+ This may be called multiple times on an object. Only the first call is
+ significant - all subsequent calls are ignored.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate an object has been obtained:
+
+ void fscache_obtained_object(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This is called to indicate to FS-Cache that a lookup process for an object
+ produced a positive result, or that an object was created. This should
+ only be called once for any particular object.
+
+ This changes the state of an object to indicate:
+
+ (1) if no call to fscache_object_lookup_negative() has been made on
+ this object, that there may be data available, and that reads can
+ now go and look for it; and
+
+ (2) that writes may now proceed against this object.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate that object lookup failed:
+
+ void fscache_object_lookup_error(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This marks an object as having encountered a fatal error (usually EIO)
+ and causes it to move into a state whereby it will be withdrawn as soon
+ as possible.
+
+
+ (*) Get and release references on a retrieval record:
+
+ void fscache_get_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+ void fscache_put_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+
+ These two functions are used to retain a retrieval record whilst doing
+ asynchronous data retrieval and block allocation.
+
+
+ (*) Enqueue a retrieval record for processing.
+
+ void fscache_enqueue_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
+
+ This enqueues a retrieval record for processing by the FS-Cache thread
+ pool. One of the threads in the pool will invoke the retrieval record's
+ op->op.processor callback function. This function may be called from
+ within the callback function.
+
+
+ (*) List of object state names:
+
+ const char *fscache_object_states[];
+
+ For debugging purposes, this may be used to turn the state that an object
+ is in into a text string for display purposes.

Subject: [PATCH 23/45] CacheFiles: Be consistent about the use of mapping vs file->f_mapping in Ext3 [ver #41]

Change all the usages of file->f_mapping in ext3_*write_end() functions to use
the mapping argument directly. This has two consequences:

(*) Consistency. Without this patch sometimes one is used and sometimes the
other is.

(*) A NULL file pointer can be passed. This feature is then made use of by
the generic hook in the next patch, which is used by CacheFiles to write
pages to a file without setting up a file struct.

Subject: [PATCH 20/45] FS-Cache: Add and document asynchronous operation handling [ver #41]

Add and document asynchronous operation handling for use by FS-Cache's data
storage and retrieval routines.

The following documentation is added to:

Documentation/filesystems/caching/operations.txt


================================
ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATIONS HANDLING
================================

========
OVERVIEW
========

FS-Cache has an asynchronous operations handling facility that it uses for its
data storage and retrieval routines. Its operations are represented by
fscache_operation structs, though these are usually embedded into some other
structure.

This facility is available to and expected to be be used by the cache backends,
and FS-Cache will create operations and pass them off to the appropriate cache
backend for completion.

To make use of this facility, <linux/fscache-cache.h> should be #included.


===============================
OPERATION RECORD INITIALISATION
===============================

An operation is recorded in an fscache_operation struct:

struct fscache_operation {
union {
struct work_struct fast_work;
struct slow_work slow_work;
};
unsigned long flags;
fscache_operation_processor_t processor;
...
};

Someone wanting to issue an operation should allocate something with this
struct embedded in it. They should initialise it by calling:

void fscache_operation_init(struct fscache_operation *op,
fscache_operation_release_t release);

with the operation to be initialised and the release function to use.

The op->flags parameter should be set to indicate the CPU time provision and
the exclusivity (see the Parameters section).

The op->fast_work, op->slow_work and op->processor flags should be set as
appropriate for the CPU time provision (see the Parameters section).

FSCACHE_OP_WAITING may be set in op->flags prior to each submission of the
operation and waited for afterwards.


==========
PARAMETERS
==========

There are a number of parameters that can be set in the operation record's flag
parameter. There are three options for the provision of CPU time in these
operations:

(1) The operation may be done synchronously (FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD). A thread
may decide it wants to handle an operation itself without deferring it to
another thread.

This is, for example, used in read operations for calling readpages() on
the backing filesystem in CacheFiles. Although readpages() does an
asynchronous data fetch, the determination of whether pages exist is done
synchronously - and the netfs does not proceed until this has been
determined.

If this option is to be used, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING must be set in op->flags
before submitting the operation, and the operating thread must wait for it
to be cleared before proceeding:

wait_on_bit(&op->flags, FSCACHE_OP_WAITING,
fscache_wait_bit, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);


(2) The operation may be fast asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_FAST), in which case it
will be given to keventd to process. Such an operation is not permitted
to sleep on I/O.

This is, for example, used by CacheFiles to copy data from a backing fs
page to a netfs page after the backing fs has read the page in.

If this option is used, op->fast_work and op->processor must be
initialised before submitting the operation:

INIT_WORK(&op->fast_work, do_some_work);


(3) The operation may be slow asynchronous (FSCACHE_OP_SLOW), in which case it
will be given to the slow work facility to process. Such an operation is
permitted to sleep on I/O.

This is, for example, used by FS-Cache to handle background writes of
pages that have just been fetched from a remote server.

If this option is used, op->slow_work and op->processor must be
initialised before submitting the operation:

fscache_operation_init_slow(op, processor)


Furthermore, operations may be one of two types:

(1) Exclusive (FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE). Operations of this type may not run in
conjunction with any other operation on the object being operated upon.

An example of this is the attribute change operation, in which the file
being written to may need truncation.

(2) Shareable. Operations of this type may be running simultaneously. It's
up to the operation implementation to prevent interference between other
operations running at the same time.


=========
PROCEDURE
=========

Operations are used through the following procedure:

(1) The submitting thread must allocate the operation and initialise it
itself. Normally this would be part of a more specific structure with the
generic op embedded within.

(2) The submitting thread must then submit the operation for processing using
one of the following two functions:

int fscache_submit_op(struct fscache_object *object,
struct fscache_operation *op);

int fscache_submit_exclusive_op(struct fscache_object *object,
struct fscache_operation *op);

The first function should be used to submit non-exclusive ops and the
second to submit exclusive ones. The caller must still set the
FSCACHE_OP_EXCLUSIVE flag.

If successful, both functions will assign the operation to the specified
object and return 0. -ENOBUFS will be returned if the object specified is
permanently unavailable.

The operation manager will defer operations on an object that is still
undergoing lookup or creation. The operation will also be deferred if an
operation of conflicting exclusivity is in progress on the object.

If the operation is asynchronous, the manager will retain a reference to
it, so the caller should put their reference to it by passing it to:

void fscache_put_operation(struct fscache_operation *op);

(3) If the submitting thread wants to do the work itself, and has marked the
operation with FSCACHE_OP_MYTHREAD, then it should monitor
FSCACHE_OP_WAITING as described above and check the state of the object if
necessary (the object might have died whilst the thread was waiting).

When it has finished doing its processing, it should call
fscache_put_operation() on it.

(4) The operation holds an effective lock upon the object, preventing other
exclusive ops conflicting until it is released. The operation can be
enqueued for further immediate asynchronous processing by adjusting the
CPU time provisioning option if necessary, eg:

op->flags &= ~FSCACHE_OP_TYPE;
op->flags |= ~FSCACHE_OP_FAST;

and calling:

void fscache_enqueue_operation(struct fscache_operation *op)

This can be used to allow other things to have use of the worker thread
pools.


=====================
ASYNCHRONOUS CALLBACK
=====================

When used in asynchronous mode, the worker thread pool will invoke the
processor method with a pointer to the operation. This should then get at the
container struct by using container_of():

static void fscache_write_op(struct fscache_operation *_op)
{
struct fscache_storage *op =
container_of(_op, struct fscache_storage, op);
...
}

The caller holds a reference on the operation, and will invoke
fscache_put_operation() when the processor function returns. The processor
function is at liberty to call fscache_enqueue_operation() or to take extra
references.

[permalink] [raw]
Subject: [PATCH 33/45] NFS: Define and create server-level objects [ver #41]

Define and create server-level cache index objects (as managed by nfs_client
structs).

Each server object is created in the NFS top-level index object and is itself
an index into which superblock-level objects are inserted.

Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former
would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option
exists this isn't possible.

The server object key is a sequence consisting of:

(1) NFS version

(2) Server address family (eg: AF_INET or AF_INET6)

(3) Server port.

(4) Server IP address.

The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (4).

The server object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data
permitted by the cache.

Add some new NFS I/O counters for FS-Cache doing things for NFS. A new line is
emitted into /proc/pid/mountstats if caching is enabled that looks like:

fsc: <rok> <rfl> <wok> <wfl> <unc>

Where <rok> is the number of pages read successfully from the cache, <rfl> is
the number of failed page reads against the cache, <wok> is the number of
successful page writes to the cache, <wfl> is the number of failed page writes
to the cache, and <unc> is the number of NFS pages that have been disconnected
from the cache.

[permalink] [raw]
Subject: [PATCH 34/45] NFS: Define and create superblock-level objects [ver #41]

Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by
nfs_server structs).

Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself
an index into which inode-level objects are inserted.

Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former
would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option
exists this isn't possible.

The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of:

(1) Certain superblock s_flags.

(2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for
sget().

(3) The volume FSID.

(4) The security flavour.

(5) The uniquifier length.

(6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz
mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier.

The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6).

The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data
permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent.


This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical
superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up
trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a
uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error
otherwise produced.

Subject: [PATCH 45/45] NFS: Add mount options to enable local caching on NFS [ver #41]

Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled.

The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make
use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache).

To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required.

There are three variant NFS mount options that can be added to a mount command
to control caching for a mount. Only the last one specified takes effect:

(*) Adding "fsc" will request caching.

(*) Adding "fsc=<string>" will request caching and also specify a uniquifier.

(*) Adding "nofsc" will disable caching.

For example:

mount warthog:/ /a -o fsc


The cache of a particular superblock (NFS FSID) will be shared between all
mounts of that volume, provided they have the same connection parameters and
are not marked 'nosharecache'.

Where it is otherwise impossible to distinguish superblocks because all the
parameters are identical, but the 'nosharecache' option is supplied, a
uniquifying string must be supplied, else only the first mount will be
permitted to use the cache.

If there's a key collision, then the second mount will disable caching and give
a warning into the kernel log.

Subject: [PATCH 27/45] CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem [ver #41]

Add an FS-Cache cache-backend that permits a mounted filesystem to be used as a
backing store for the cache.


CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as
reaping stale nodes and culling. This is called cachefilesd and lives in
/sbin. The source for the daemon can be downloaded from:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.c

And an example configuration from:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.conf

The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the
filesystem providing the backing services. Note that CacheFiles does not
attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various
filesystems are very specific in nature.

CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used
to communication with the daemon. Only one thing may have this open at once,
and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence. The daemon
opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache.

CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.

CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on
the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make
space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section. This means it can be
placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of
spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more
space.


============
REQUIREMENTS
============

The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be
available in the system and in the cache filesystem:

- dnotify.

- extended attributes (xattrs).

- openat() and friends.

- bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl).

- The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file.

It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3
filesystems being used as a cache.


=============
CONFIGURATION
=============

The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf. These commands
set up cache ready for use. The following script commands are available:

(*) brun <N>%
(*) bcull <N>%
(*) bstop <N>%
(*) frun <N>%
(*) fcull <N>%
(*) fstop <N>%

Configure the culling limits. Optional. See the section on culling
The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively.

The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those
beginning with an 'f' are file count limits.

(*) dir <path>

Specify the directory containing the root of the cache. Mandatory.

(*) tag <name>

Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches.
Optional. The default is "CacheFiles".

(*) debug <mask>

Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module.
Optional. The default is zero (all off). The following values can be
OR'd into the mask to collect various information:

1 Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros)
2 Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros)
4 Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug())

This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg:

echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug


==================
STARTING THE CACHE
==================

The cache is started by running the daemon. The daemon opens the cache device,
configures the cache and tells it to begin caching. At that point the cache
binds to fscache and the cache becomes live.

The daemon is run as follows:

/sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>]

The flags are:

(*) -d

Increase the debugging level. This can be specified multiple times and
is cumulative with itself.

(*) -s

Send messages to stderr instead of syslog.

(*) -n

Don't daemonise and go into background.

(*) -f <configfile>

Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one.


===============
THINGS TO AVOID
===============

Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems. The
kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores
mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them.

Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the
cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.

Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the
filename is part of the lookup key).

Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the
cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.

Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or
serve incorrect data.

Do not chmod files in the cache. The module creates things with minimal
permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly.


=============
CACHE CULLING
=============

The cache may need culling occasionally to make space. This involves
discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than
anything else. Culling is based on the access time of data objects. Empty
directories are culled if not in use.

Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the
percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem. There are six
"limits":

(*) brun
(*) frun

If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache
rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.

(*) bcull
(*) fcull

If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.

(*) bstop
(*) fstop

If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of
disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above
these limits again.

These must be configured thusly:

0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100
0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100

Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do
_not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program.

The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.
These are then culled in least recently used order. A new scan of the cache is
started as soon as space is made in the table. Objects will be skipped if
their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.


===============
CACHE STRUCTURE
===============

The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was
given:

(*) cache/

(*) graveyard/

The active cache objects all reside in the first directory. The CacheFiles
kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink
to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.

The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete
anything that appears therein.


The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or
"J...". Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index.

Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories
if they do. Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...". If represented as a
directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that
actually holds the data.

Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin
"S..." or "T...".


If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.
Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories
named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended. Into
this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child
objects:

INDEX INDEX INDEX DATA FILES
========= ========== ================================= ================
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry
cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry


If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to
it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to
make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects
inside the last directory. The names of the intermediate directories will have
'+' prepended:

J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr


Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size,
they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not
be suitable for turning directly into a filename.

To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and
"base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable. The two versions of
object filenames indicate the encoding:

OBJECT TYPE PRINTABLE ENCODED
=============== =============== ===============
Index "I..." "J..."
Data "D..." "E..."
Special "S..." "T..."

Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate.


Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object
type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from
the netfs. The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update
or retire them.


Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or
any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file).


==========================
SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX
==========================

CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of
the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility.

One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on
behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a
security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either
because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if
the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other
processes.

The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid,
fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the
security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by
some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly).


When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it:

(1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses
that as the security label with which it will create files. By default,
this is:

cachefiles_var_t

(2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request
(presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:

cachefilesd_t

and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the
daemon's label. By default, this will be:

cachefiles_kernel_t

SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID
based on a rule of this form in the policy.

type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>;

For instance:

type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;


The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files
and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the
cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and
write files in the cache.

The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it
may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories. It may
not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the
data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.


There are policy source files available in:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2

and later versions. In that tarball, see the files:

cachefilesd.te
cachefilesd.fc
cachefilesd.if

They are built and installed directly by the RPM.

If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own
directory and run:

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
semodule -i cachefilesd.pp

You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the
build.


By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that
it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or
an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the
cache.

For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be
located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:

/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt

When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found
in the sources.


==================
A NOTE ON SECURITY
==================

CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct. It allocates
its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it
when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context.

The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than
bypassing security and calling inode ops directly. Therefore the VFS and LSM
may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some
circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever
process issued the original syscall on the netfs.

Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security
parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be
derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially
preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's
cache management daemon (cachefilesd).

What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that
issued the system call. We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the
security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.
This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what
the process looks like in /proc.

So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the
objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as). The
objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is
never overridden. This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a
process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for
example).

The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and
may be overridden. This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process
acts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a
file.

LSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request
for CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create
files and directories with another security label.

+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+CacheFiles is a caching backend that's meant to use as a cache a directory on
+an already mounted filesystem of a local type (such as Ext3).
+
+CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as
+reaping stale nodes and culling. This is called cachefilesd and lives in
+/sbin.
+
+The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the
+filesystem providing the backing services. Note that CacheFiles does not
+attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various
+filesystems are very specific in nature.
+
+CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used
+to communication with the daemon. Only one thing may have this open at once,
+and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence. The daemon
+opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache.
+
+CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.
+
+CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on
+the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make
+space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section. This means it can be
+placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of
+spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more
+space.
+
+
+============
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+
+The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be
+available in the system and in the cache filesystem:
+
+ - dnotify.
+
+ - extended attributes (xattrs).
+
+ - openat() and friends.
+
+ - bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl).
+
+ - The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file.
+
+It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3
+filesystems being used as a cache.
+
+
+=============
+CONFIGURATION
+=============
+
+The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf. These commands
+set up cache ready for use. The following script commands are available:
+
+ (*) brun <N>%
+ (*) bcull <N>%
+ (*) bstop <N>%
+ (*) frun <N>%
+ (*) fcull <N>%
+ (*) fstop <N>%
+
+ Configure the culling limits. Optional. See the section on culling
+ The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively.
+
+ The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those
+ beginning with an 'f' are file count limits.
+
+ (*) dir <path>
+
+ Specify the directory containing the root of the cache. Mandatory.
+
+ (*) tag <name>
+
+ Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches.
+ Optional. The default is "CacheFiles".
+
+ (*) debug <mask>
+
+ Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module.
+ Optional. The default is zero (all off). The following values can be
+ OR'd into the mask to collect various information:
+
+ 1 Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros)
+ 2 Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros)
+ 4 Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug())
+
+ This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg:
+
+ echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug
+
+
+==================
+STARTING THE CACHE
+==================
+
+The cache is started by running the daemon. The daemon opens the cache device,
+configures the cache and tells it to begin caching. At that point the cache
+binds to fscache and the cache becomes live.
+
+The daemon is run as follows:
+
+ /sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>]
+
+The flags are:
+
+ (*) -d
+
+ Increase the debugging level. This can be specified multiple times and
+ is cumulative with itself.
+
+ (*) -s
+
+ Send messages to stderr instead of syslog.
+
+ (*) -n
+
+ Don't daemonise and go into background.
+
+ (*) -f <configfile>
+
+ Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one.
+
+
+===============
+THINGS TO AVOID
+===============
+
+Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems. The
+kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores
+mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them.
+
+Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the
+cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.
+
+Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the
+filename is part of the lookup key).
+
+Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the
+cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.
+
+Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or
+serve incorrect data.
+
+Do not chmod files in the cache. The module creates things with minimal
+permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly.
+
+
+=============
+CACHE CULLING
+=============
+
+The cache may need culling occasionally to make space. This involves
+discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than
+anything else. Culling is based on the access time of data objects. Empty
+directories are culled if not in use.
+
+Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the
+percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem. There are six
+"limits":
+
+ (*) brun
+ (*) frun
+
+ If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache
+ rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.
+
+ (*) bcull
+ (*) fcull
+
+ If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
+ cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.
+
+ (*) bstop
+ (*) fstop
+
+ If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
+ cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of
+ disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above
+ these limits again.
+
+These must be configured thusly:
+
+ 0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100
+ 0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100
+
+Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do
+_not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program.
+
+The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.
+These are then culled in least recently used order. A new scan of the cache is
+started as soon as space is made in the table. Objects will be skipped if
+their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.
+
+
+===============
+CACHE STRUCTURE
+===============
+
+The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was
+given:
+
+ (*) cache/
+
+ (*) graveyard/
+
+The active cache objects all reside in the first directory. The CacheFiles
+kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink
+to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.
+
+The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete
+anything that appears therein.
+
+
+The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or
+"J...". Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index.
+
+Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories
+if they do. Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...". If represented as a
+directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that
+actually holds the data.
+
+Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin
+"S..." or "T...".
+
+
+If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.
+Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories
+named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended. Into
+this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child
+objects:
+
+ INDEX INDEX INDEX DATA FILES
+ ========= ========== ================================= ================
+ cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400
+ cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry
+ cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry
+ cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry
+
+
+If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to
+it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to
+make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects
+inside the last directory. The names of the intermediate directories will have
+'+' prepended:
+
+ J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr
+
+
+Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size,
+they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not
+be suitable for turning directly into a filename.
+
+To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and
+"base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable. The two versions of
+object filenames indicate the encoding:
+
+ OBJECT TYPE PRINTABLE ENCODED
+ =============== =============== ===============
+ Index "I..." "J..."
+ Data "D..." "E..."
+ Special "S..." "T..."
+
+Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate.
+
+
+Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object
+type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from
+the netfs. The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update
+or retire them.
+
+
+Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or
+any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file).
+
+
+==========================
+SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX
+==========================
+
+CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of
+the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility.
+
+One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on
+behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a
+security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either
+because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if
+the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other
+processes.
+
+The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid,
+fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the
+security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by
+some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly).
+
+
+When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it:
+
+ (1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses
+ that as the security label with which it will create files. By default,
+ this is:
+
+ cachefiles_var_t
+
+ (2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request
+ (presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:
+
+ cachefilesd_t
+
+ and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the
+ daemon's label. By default, this will be:
+
+ cachefiles_kernel_t
+
+ SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID
+ based on a rule of this form in the policy.
+
+ type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>;
+
+ For instance:
+
+ type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;
+
+
+The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files
+and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the
+cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and
+write files in the cache.
+
+The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it
+may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories. It may
+not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the
+data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.
+
+
+There are policy source files available in:
+
+ http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2
+
+and later versions. In that tarball, see the files:
+
+ cachefilesd.te
+ cachefilesd.fc
+ cachefilesd.if
+
+They are built and installed directly by the RPM.
+
+If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own
+directory and run:
+
+ make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
+ semodule -i cachefilesd.pp
+
+You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the
+build.
+
+
+By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that
+it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or
+an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the
+cache.
+
+For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be
+located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:
+
+ /usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt
+
+When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found
+in the sources.
+
+
+==================
+A NOTE ON SECURITY
+==================
+
+CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct. It allocates
+its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it
+when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context.
+
+The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than
+bypassing security and calling inode ops directly. Therefore the VFS and LSM
+may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some
+circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever
+process issued the original syscall on the netfs.
+
+Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security
+parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be
+derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially
+preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's
+cache management daemon (cachefilesd).
+
+What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that
+issued the system call. We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the
+security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.
+This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what
+the process looks like in /proc.
+
+So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the
+objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as). The
+objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is
+never overridden. This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a
+process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for
+example).
+
+The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and
+may be overridden. This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process
+acts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a
+file.
+
+LSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request
+for CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create
+files and directories with another security label.

Subject: [PATCH 41/45] NFS: nfs_readpage_async() needs to be accessible as a fallback for local caching [ver #41]

nfs_readpage_async() needs to be non-static so that it can be used as a
fallback for the local on-disk caching should an EIO crop up when reading the
cache.

Subject: [PATCH 35/45] NFS: Define and create inode-level cache objects [ver #41]

Define and create inode-level cache data storage objects (as managed by
nfs_inode structs).

Each inode-level object is created in a superblock-level index object and is
itself a data storage object into which pages from the inode are stored.

The inode object key is the NFS file handle for the inode.

The inode object is given coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data
permitted by the cache. This is a sequence made up of:

(1) i_mtime from the NFS inode.

(2) i_ctime from the NFS inode.

(3) i_size from the NFS inode.

(4) change_attr from the NFSv4 attribute data.

As the cache is a persistent cache, the auxiliary data is checked when a new
NFS in-memory inode is set up that matches an already existing data storage
object in the cache. If the coherency data is the same, the on-disk object is
retained and used; if not, it is scrapped and a new one created.

Subject: [PATCH 28/45] FS-Cache: Make kAFS use FS-Cache [ver #41]

The attached patch makes the kAFS filesystem in fs/afs/ use FS-Cache, and
through it any attached caches. The kAFS filesystem will use caching
automatically if it's available.

Subject: [PATCH 24/45] CacheFiles: Add a hook to write a single page of data to an inode [ver #41]

Add an address space operation to write one single page of data to an inode at
a page-aligned location (thus permitting the implementation to be highly
optimised). The data source is a single page.

This is used by CacheFiles to store the contents of netfs pages into their
backing file pages.

Supply a generic implementation for this that uses the write_begin() and
write_end() address_space operations to bind a copy directly into the page
cache.

Hook the Ext2 and Ext3 operations to the generic implementation.

Subject: [PATCH 08/45] FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache netfs API and documentation [ver #41]

Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which filesystems (such as AFS
or NFS) may call on local caching capabilities without having to know anything
about how the cache works, or even if there is a cache:

+---------+
| | +--------------+
| NFS |--+ | |
| | | +-->| CacheFS |
+---------+ | +----------+ | | /dev/hda5 |
| | | | +--------------+
+---------+ +-->| | |
| | | |--+
| AFS |----->| FS-Cache |
| | | |--+
+---------+ +-->| | |
| | | | +--------------+
+---------+ | +----------+ | | |
| | | +-->| CacheFiles |
| ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache |
| | +--------------+
+---------+

General documentation and documentation of the netfs specific API are provided
in addition to the header files.

As this patch stands, it is possible to build a filesystem against the facility
and attempt to use it. All that will happen is that all requests will be
immediately denied as if no cache is present.

Further patches will implement the core of the facility. The facility will
transfer requests from networking filesystems to appropriate caches if
possible, or else gracefully deny them.

If this facility is disabled in the kernel configuration, then all its
operations will trivially reduce to nothing during compilation.


WHY NOT I_MAPPING?
==================

I have added my own API to implement caching rather than using i_mapping to do
this for a number of reasons. These have been discussed a lot on the LKML and
CacheFS mailing lists, but to summarise the basics:

(1) Most filesystems don't do hole reportage. Holes in files are treated as
blocks of zeros and can't be distinguished otherwise, making it difficult
to distinguish blocks that have been read from the network and cached from
those that haven't.

(2) The backing inode must be fully populated before being exposed to
userspace through the main inode because the VM/VFS goes directly to the
backing inode and does not interrogate the front inode's VM ops.

Therefore:

(a) The backing inode must fit entirely within the cache.

(b) All backed files currently open must fit entirely within the cache at
the same time.

(c) A working set of files in total larger than the cache may not be
cached.

(d) A file may not grow larger than the available space in the cache.

(e) A file that's open and cached, and remotely grows larger than the
cache is potentially stuffed.

(3) Writes go to the backing filesystem, and can only be transferred to the
network when the file is closed.

(4) There's no record of what changes have been made, so the whole file must
be written back.

(5) The pages belong to the backing filesystem, and all metadata associated
with that page are relevant only to the backing filesystem, and not
anything stacked atop it.



OVERVIEW
========

FS-Cache provides (or will provide) the following facilities:

(1) Caches can be added / removed at any time, even whilst in use.

(2) Adds a facility by which tags can be used to refer to caches, even if
they're not available yet.

(3) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
explicitly by use of tags.

(4) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (1)).

(5) A netfs may annotate cache objects that belongs to it. This permits the
storage of coherency maintenance data.

(6) Cache objects will be pinnable and space reservations will be possible.

(7) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.

(8) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
cached there.

(9) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
indices.

(10) Indices can be used to group files together to reduce key size and to make
group invalidation easier. The use of indices may make lookup quicker,
but that's cache dependent.

(11) Data I/O is effectively done directly to and from the netfs's pages. The
netfs indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by
cookie C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or
may not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
asynchronous.

(12) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
recycled.

(13) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
entry should be updated or deleted.


FS-Cache maintains a virtual index tree in which all indices, files, objects
and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
caches.

In the example above, two netfs's can be seen to be backed: NFS and AFS. These
have different index hierarchies:

(*) The NFS primary index will probably contain per-server indices. Each
server index is indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects.
Each data file objects can have an array of pages, but may also have
further child objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries.
Extended attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.

(*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
array of pages.

The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
have entries.

Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
reside in one cache.

+ ==========================
+ General Filesystem Caching
+ ==========================
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+This facility is a general purpose cache for network filesystems, though it
+could be used for caching other things such as ISO9660 filesystems too.
+
+FS-Cache mediates between cache backends (such as CacheFS) and network
+filesystems:
+
+ +---------+
+ | | +--------------+
+ | NFS |--+ | |
+ | | | +-->| CacheFS |
+ +---------+ | +----------+ | | /dev/hda5 |

+ +---------+ +-->| | |
+ | | | |--+
+ | AFS |----->| FS-Cache |
+ | | | |--+
+ +---------+ +-->| | |
+ | | | | +--------------+
+ +---------+ | +----------+ | | |
+ | | | +-->| CacheFiles |
+ | ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache |
+ | | +--------------+
+ +---------+
+
+Or to look at it another way, FS-Cache is a module that provides a caching
+facility to a network filesystem such that the cache is transparent to the
+user:
+
+ +---------+
+ | |
+ | Server |
+ | |
+ +---------+
+ | NETWORK
+ ~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ |
+ | +----------+

+ | | | | | | | |
+ V +----------+ +-->| CacheFiles |-->| Ext3 |

+
+
+FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
+opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
+then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
+
+ (1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
+
+ (2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
+ cache.
+
+ (3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
+ must not be limited to the size of the cache.
+
+ (4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
+ one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
+ "file" program).
+
+It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
+the netfs('s) using it.
+
+
+FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
+
+ (1) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
+ explicitly by use of tags.
+
+ (2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
+
+ (3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
+ withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
+
+ (4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
+ rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
+
+ (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
+ netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
+ cached there.
+
+ (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
+ desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
+ recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
+ indices.
+
+ (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs
+ indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
+ C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may
+ not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
+ invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
+ asynchronous.
+
+ (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
+ them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
+ recycled.
+
+ (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
+ saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
+ entry should be updated or deleted.
+
+(10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
+
+
+FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
+and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
+caches.

+
+In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS. These
+have different index hierarchies:
+
+ (*) The NFS primary index contains per-server indices. Each server index is
+ indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file
+ objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
+ objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended
+ attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
+
+ (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
+ per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
+ indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
+ Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
+ array of pages.
+
+The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
+have entries.
+
+Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
+children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
+reside in one cache.

+ ===============================
+ FS-CACHE NETWORK FILESYSTEM API
+ ===============================
+
+There's an API by which a network filesystem can make use of the FS-Cache
+facilities. This is based around a number of principles:
+
+ (1) Caches can store a number of different object types. There are two main
+ object types: indices and files. The first is a special type used by
+ FS-Cache to make finding objects faster and to make retiring of groups of
+ objects easier.
+
+ (2) Every index, file or other object is represented by a cookie. This cookie
+ may or may not have anything associated with it, but the netfs doesn't
+ need to care.
+
+ (3) Barring the top-level index (one entry per cached netfs), the index
+ hierarchy for each netfs is structured according the whim of the netfs.
+
+This API is declared in <linux/fscache.h>.
+
+This document contains the following sections:
+
+ (1) Network filesystem definition
+ (2) Index definition
+ (3) Object definition
+ (4) Network filesystem (un)registration
+ (5) Cache tag lookup
+ (6) Index registration
+ (7) Data file registration
+ (8) Miscellaneous object registration
+ (9) Setting the data file size
+ (10) Page alloc/read/write
+ (11) Page uncaching
+ (12) Index and data file update
+ (13) Miscellaneous cookie operations
+ (14) Cookie unregistration
+ (15) Index and data file invalidation
+ (16) FS-Cache specific page flags.
+
+
+=============================
+NETWORK FILESYSTEM DEFINITION
+=============================
+
+FS-Cache needs a description of the network filesystem. This is specified
+using a record of the following structure:
+
+ struct fscache_netfs {
+ uint32_t version;
+ const char *name;
+ struct fscache_cookie *primary_index;
+ ...
+ };
+
+This first two fields should be filled in before registration, and the third
+will be filled in by the registration function; any other fields should just be
+ignored and are for internal use only.
+
+The fields are:
+
+ (1) The name of the netfs (used as the key in the toplevel index).
+
+ (2) The version of the netfs (if the name matches but the version doesn't, the
+ entire in-cache hierarchy for this netfs will be scrapped and begun
+ afresh).
+
+ (3) The cookie representing the primary index will be allocated according to
+ another parameter passed into the registration function.
+
+For example, kAFS (linux/fs/afs/) uses the following definitions to describe
+itself:
+
+ struct fscache_netfs afs_cache_netfs = {
+ .version = 0,
+ .name = "afs",
+ };
+
+
+================
+INDEX DEFINITION
+================
+
+Indices are used for two purposes:
+
+ (1) To aid the finding of a file based on a series of keys (such as AFS's
+ "cell", "volume ID", "vnode ID").
+
+ (2) To make it easier to discard a subset of all the files cached based around
+ a particular key - for instance to mirror the removal of an AFS volume.
+
+However, since it's unlikely that any two netfs's are going to want to define
+their index hierarchies in quite the same way, FS-Cache tries to impose as few
+restraints as possible on how an index is structured and where it is placed in
+the tree. The netfs can even mix indices and data files at the same level, but
+it's not recommended.
+
+Each index entry consists of a key of indeterminate length plus some auxilliary
+data, also of indeterminate length.
+
+There are some limits on indices:
+
+ (1) Any index containing non-index objects should be restricted to a single
+ cache. Any such objects created within an index will be created in the
+ first cache only. The cache in which an index is created can be
+ controlled by cache tags (see below).
+
+ (2) The entry data must be atomically journallable, so it is limited to about
+ 400 bytes at present. At least 400 bytes will be available.
+
+ (3) The depth of the index tree should be judged with care as the search
+ function is recursive. Too many layers will run the kernel out of stack.
+
+
+=================
+OBJECT DEFINITION
+=================
+
+To define an object, a structure of the following type should be filled out:
+
+ struct fscache_cookie_def
+ {
+ uint8_t name[16];
+ uint8_t type;
+
+ struct fscache_cache_tag *(*select_cache)(
+ const void *parent_netfs_data,
+ const void *cookie_netfs_data);
+
+ uint16_t (*get_key)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+ void *buffer,
+ uint16_t bufmax);
+
+ void (*get_attr)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+ uint64_t *size);
+
+ uint16_t (*get_aux)(const void *cookie_netfs_data,
+ void *buffer,
+ uint16_t bufmax);
+
+ enum fscache_checkaux (*check_aux)(void *cookie_netfs_data,
+ const void *data,
+ uint16_t datalen);
+
+ void (*get_context)(void *cookie_netfs_data, void *context);
+
+ void (*put_context)(void *cookie_netfs_data, void *context);
+
+ void (*mark_pages_cached)(void *cookie_netfs_data,
+ struct address_space *mapping,
+ struct pagevec *cached_pvec);
+
+ void (*now_uncached)(void *cookie_netfs_data);
+ };
+
+This has the following fields:
+
+ (1) The type of the object [mandatory].
+
+ This is one of the following values:
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX
+
+ This defines an index, which is a special FS-Cache type.
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_DATAFILE
+
+ This defines an ordinary data file.
+
+ (*) Any other value between 2 and 255
+
+ This defines an extraordinary object such as an XATTR.
+
+ (2) The name of the object type (NUL terminated unless all 16 chars are used)
+ [optional].
+
+ (3) A function to select the cache in which to store an index [optional].
+
+ This function is invoked when an index needs to be instantiated in a cache
+ during the instantiation of a non-index object. Only the immediate index
+ parent for the non-index object will be queried. Any indices above that
+ in the hierarchy may be stored in multiple caches. This function does not
+ need to be supplied for any non-index object or any index that will only
+ have index children.
+
+ If this function is not supplied or if it returns NULL then the first
+ cache in the parent's list will be chosed, or failing that, the first
+ cache in the master list.
+
+ (4) A function to retrieve an object's key from the netfs [mandatory].
+
+ This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+ cookie acquisition function and the maximum length of key data that it may
+ provide. It should write the required key data into the given buffer and
+ return the quantity it wrote.
+
+ (5) A function to retrieve attribute data from the netfs [optional].
+
+ This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+ cookie acquisition function. It should return the size of the file if
+ this is a data file. The size may be used to govern how much cache must
+ be reserved for this file in the cache.
+
+ If the function is absent, a file size of 0 is assumed.
+
+ (6) A function to retrieve auxilliary data from the netfs [optional].
+
+ This function will be called with the netfs data that was passed to the
+ cookie acquisition function and the maximum length of auxilliary data that
+ it may provide. It should write the auxilliary data into the given buffer
+ and return the quantity it wrote.
+
+ If this function is absent, the auxilliary data length will be set to 0.
+
+ The length of the auxilliary data buffer may be dependent on the key
+ length. A netfs mustn't rely on being able to provide more than 400 bytes
+ for both.
+
+ (7) A function to check the auxilliary data [optional].
+
+ This function will be called to check that a match found in the cache for
+ this object is valid. For instance with AFS it could check the auxilliary
+ data against the data version number returned by the server to determine
+ whether the index entry in a cache is still valid.
+
+ If this function is absent, it will be assumed that matching objects in a
+ cache are always valid.
+
+ If present, the function should return one of the following values:
+
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OKAY - the entry is okay as is
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_NEEDS_UPDATE - the entry requires update
+ (*) FSCACHE_CHECKAUX_OBSOLETE - the entry should be deleted
+
+ This function can also be used to extract data from the auxilliary data in
+ the cache and copy it into the netfs's structures.
+
+ (8) A pair of functions to manage contexts for the completion callback
+ [optional].
+
+ The cache read/write functions are passed a context which is then passed
+ to the I/O completion callback function. To ensure this context remains
+ valid until after the I/O completion is called, two functions may be
+ provided: one to get an extra reference on the context, and one to drop a
+ reference to it.
+
+ If the context is not used or is a type of object that won't go out of
+ scope, then these functions are not required. These functions are not
+ required for indices as indices may not contain data. These functions may
+ be called in interrupt context and so may not sleep.
+
+ (9) A function to mark a page as retaining cache metadata [optional].
+
+ This is called by the cache to indicate that it is retaining in-memory
+ information for this page and that the netfs should uncache the page when
+ it has finished. This does not indicate whether there's data on the disk
+ or not. Note that several pages at once may be presented for marking.
+
+ The PG_fscache bit is set on the pages before this function would be
+ called, so the function need not be provided if this is sufficient.
+
+ This function is not required for indices as they're not permitted data.
+
+(10) A function to unmark all the pages retaining cache metadata [mandatory].
+
+ This is called by FS-Cache to indicate that a backing store is being
+ unbound from a cookie and that all the marks on the pages should be
+ cleared to prevent confusion. Note that the cache will have torn down all
+ its tracking information so that the pages don't need to be explicitly
+ uncached.
+
+ This function is not required for indices as they're not permitted data.
+
+
+===================================
+NETWORK FILESYSTEM (UN)REGISTRATION
+===================================
+
+The first step is to declare the network filesystem to the cache. This also
+involves specifying the layout of the primary index (for AFS, this would be the
+"cell" level).
+
+The registration function is:
+
+ int fscache_register_netfs(struct fscache_netfs *netfs);
+
+It just takes a pointer to the netfs definition. It returns 0 or an error as
+appropriate.
+
+For kAFS, registration is done as follows:
+
+ ret = fscache_register_netfs(&afs_cache_netfs);
+
+The last step is, of course, unregistration:
+
+ void fscache_unregister_netfs(struct fscache_netfs *netfs);
+
+
+================
+CACHE TAG LOOKUP
+================
+
+FS-Cache permits the use of more than one cache. To permit particular index
+subtrees to be bound to particular caches, the second step is to look up cache
+representation tags. This step is optional; it can be left entirely up to
+FS-Cache as to which cache should be used. The problem with doing that is that
+FS-Cache will always pick the first cache that was registered.
+
+To get the representation for a named tag:
+
+ struct fscache_cache_tag *fscache_lookup_cache_tag(const char *name);
+
+This takes a text string as the name and returns a representation of a tag. It
+will never return an error. It may return a dummy tag, however, if it runs out
+of memory; this will inhibit caching with this tag.
+
+Any representation so obtained must be released by passing it to this function:
+
+ void fscache_release_cache_tag(struct fscache_cache_tag *tag);
+
+The tag will be retrieved by FS-Cache when it calls the object definition
+operation select_cache().
+
+
+==================
+INDEX REGISTRATION
+==================
+
+The third step is to inform FS-Cache about part of an index hierarchy that can
+be used to locate files. This is done by requesting a cookie for each index in
+the path to the file:
+
+ struct fscache_cookie *
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *parent,
+ const struct fscache_object_def *def,
+ void *netfs_data);
+
+This function creates an index entry in the index represented by parent,
+filling in the index entry by calling the operations pointed to by def.
+
+Note that this function never returns an error - all errors are handled
+internally. It may, however, return NULL to indicate no cookie. It is quite
+acceptable to pass this token back to this function as the parent to another
+acquisition (or even to the relinquish cookie, read page and write page
+functions - see below).
+
+Note also that no indices are actually created in a cache until a non-index
+object needs to be created somewhere down the hierarchy. Furthermore, an index
+may be created in several different caches independently at different times.
+This is all handled transparently, and the netfs doesn't see any of it.
+
+For example, with AFS, a cell would be added to the primary index. This index
+entry would have a dependent inode containing a volume location index for the
+volume mappings within this cell:
+
+ cell->cache =
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(afs_cache_netfs.primary_index,
+ &afs_cell_cache_index_def,
+ cell);
+
+Then when a volume location was accessed, it would be entered into the cell's
+index and an inode would be allocated that acts as a volume type and hash chain
+combination:
+
+ vlocation->cache =
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(cell->cache,
+ &afs_vlocation_cache_index_def,
+ vlocation);
+
+And then a particular flavour of volume (R/O for example) could be added to
+that index, creating another index for vnodes (AFS inode equivalents):
+
+ volume->cache =
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(vlocation->cache,
+ &afs_volume_cache_index_def,
+ volume);
+
+
+======================
+DATA FILE REGISTRATION
+======================
+
+The fourth step is to request a data file be created in the cache. This is
+identical to index cookie acquisition. The only difference is that the type in
+the object definition should be something other than index type.
+
+ vnode->cache =
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(volume->cache,
+ &afs_vnode_cache_object_def,
+ vnode);
+
+
+=================================
+MISCELLANEOUS OBJECT REGISTRATION
+=================================
+
+An optional step is to request an object of miscellaneous type be created in
+the cache. This is almost identical to index cookie acquisition. The only
+difference is that the type in the object definition should be something other
+than index type. Whilst the parent object could be an index, it's more likely
+it would be some other type of object such as a data file.
+
+ xattr->cache =
+ fscache_acquire_cookie(vnode->cache,
+ &afs_xattr_cache_object_def,
+ xattr);
+
+Miscellaneous objects might be used to store extended attributes or directory
+entries for example.
+
+
+==========================
+SETTING THE DATA FILE SIZE
+==========================
+
+The fifth step is to set the physical attributes of the file, such as its size.
+This doesn't automatically reserve any space in the cache, but permits the
+cache to adjust its metadata for data tracking appropriately:
+
+ int fscache_attr_changed(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+The cache will return -ENOBUFS if there is no backing cache or if there is no
+space to allocate any extra metadata required in the cache. The attributes
+will be accessed with the get_attr() cookie definition operation.
+
+Note that attempts to read or write data pages in the cache over this size may
+be rebuffed with -ENOBUFS.
+
+This operation schedules an attribute adjustment to happen asynchronously at
+some point in the future, and as such, it may happen after the function returns
+to the caller. The attribute adjustment excludes read and write operations.
+
+
+=====================
+PAGE READ/ALLOC/WRITE
+=====================
+
+And the sixth step is to store and retrieve pages in the cache. There are
+three functions that are used to do this.
+
+Note:
+
+ (1) A page should not be re-read or re-allocated without uncaching it first.
+
+ (2) A read or allocated page must be uncached when the netfs page is released
+ from the pagecache.
+
+ (3) A page should only be written to the cache if previous read or allocated.
+
+This permits the cache to maintain its page tracking in proper order.
+
+
+PAGE READ
+---------
+
+Firstly, the netfs should ask FS-Cache to examine the caches and read the
+contents cached for a particular page of a particular file if present, or else
+allocate space to store the contents if not:
+
+ typedef
+ void (*fscache_rw_complete_t)(struct page *page,
+ void *context,
+ int error);
+
+ int fscache_read_or_alloc_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct page *page,
+ fscache_rw_complete_t end_io_func,
+ void *context,
+ gfp_t gfp);
+
+The cookie argument must specify a cookie for an object that isn't an index,
+the page specified will have the data loaded into it (and is also used to
+specify the page number), and the gfp argument is used to control how any
+memory allocations made are satisfied.
+
+If the cookie indicates the inode is not cached:
+
+ (1) The function will return -ENOBUFS.
+
+Else if there's a copy of the page resident in the cache:
+
+ (1) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on that page.
+
+ (2) The function will submit a request to read the data from the cache's
+ backing device directly into the page specified.
+
+ (3) The function will return 0.
+
+ (4) When the read is complete, end_io_func() will be invoked with:
+
+ (*) The netfs data supplied when the cookie was created.
+
+ (*) The page descriptor.
+
+ (*) The context argument passed to the above function. This will be
+ maintained with the get_context/put_context functions mentioned above.
+
+ (*) An argument that's 0 on success or negative for an error code.
+
+ If an error occurs, it should be assumed that the page contains no usable
+ data.
+
+ end_io_func() will be called in process context if the read is results in
+ an error, but it might be called in interrupt context if the read is
+ successful.
+
+Otherwise, if there's not a copy available in cache, but the cache may be able
+to store the page:
+
+ (1) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on that page.
+
+ (2) A block may be reserved in the cache and attached to the object at the
+ appropriate place.
+
+ (3) The function will return -ENODATA.
+
+This function may also return -ENOMEM or -EINTR, in which case it won't have
+read any data from the cache.
+
+
+PAGE ALLOCATE
+-------------
+
+Alternatively, if there's not expected to be any data in the cache for a page
+because the file has been extended, a block can simply be allocated instead:
+
+ int fscache_alloc_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct page *page,
+ gfp_t gfp);
+
+This is similar to the fscache_read_or_alloc_page() function, except that it
+never reads from the cache. It will return 0 if a block has been allocated,
+rather than -ENODATA as the other would. One or the other must be performed
+before writing to the cache.
+
+The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on the page if
+successful.
+
+
+PAGE WRITE
+----------
+
+Secondly, if the netfs changes the contents of the page (either due to an
+initial download or if a user performs a write), then the page should be
+written back to the cache:
+
+ int fscache_write_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct page *page,
+ gfp_t gfp);
+
+The cookie argument must specify a data file cookie, the page specified should
+contain the data to be written (and is also used to specify the page number),
+and the gfp argument is used to control how any memory allocations made are
+satisfied.
+
+The page must have first been read or allocated successfully and must not have
+been uncached before writing is performed.
+
+If the cookie indicates the inode is not cached then:
+
+ (1) The function will return -ENOBUFS.
+
+Else if space can be allocated in the cache to hold this page:
+
+ (1) PG_fscache_write will be set on the page.
+
+ (2) The function will submit a request to write the data to cache's backing
+ device directly from the page specified.
+
+ (3) The function will return 0.
+
+ (4) When the write is complete PG_fscache_write is cleared on the page and
+ anyone waiting for that bit will be woken up.
+
+Else if there's no space available in the cache, -ENOBUFS will be returned. It
+is also possible for the PG_fscache_write bit to be cleared when no write took
+place if unforeseen circumstances arose (such as a disk error).
+
+Writing takes place asynchronously.
+
+
+MULTIPLE PAGE READ
+------------------
+
+A facility is provided to read several pages at once, as requested by the
+readpages() address space operation:
+
+ int fscache_read_or_alloc_pages(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct address_space *mapping,
+ struct list_head *pages,
+ int *nr_pages,
+ fscache_rw_complete_t end_io_func,
+ void *context,
+ gfp_t gfp);
+
+This works in a similar way to fscache_read_or_alloc_page(), except:
+
+ (1) Any page it can retrieve data for is removed from pages and nr_pages and
+ dispatched for reading to the disk. Reads of adjacent pages on disk may
+ be merged for greater efficiency.
+
+ (2) The mark_pages_cached() cookie operation will be called on several pages
+ at once if they're being read or allocated.
+
+ (3) If there was an general error, then that error will be returned.
+
+ Else if some pages couldn't be allocated or read, then -ENOBUFS will be
+ returned.
+
+ Else if some pages couldn't be read but were allocated, then -ENODATA will
+ be returned.
+
+ Otherwise, if all pages had reads dispatched, then 0 will be returned, the
+ list will be empty and *nr_pages will be 0.
+
+ (4) end_io_func will be called once for each page being read as the reads
+ complete. It will be called in process context if error != 0, but it may
+ be called in interrupt context if there is no error.
+
+Note that a return of -ENODATA, -ENOBUFS or any other error does not preclude
+some of the pages being read and some being allocated. Those pages will have
+been marked appropriately and will need uncaching.
+
+
+==============
+PAGE UNCACHING
+==============
+
+To uncache a page, this function should be called:
+
+ void fscache_uncache_page(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct page *page);
+
+This function permits the cache to release any in-memory representation it
+might be holding for this netfs page. This function must be called once for
+each page on which the read or write page functions above have been called to
+make sure the cache's in-memory tracking information gets torn down.
+
+Note that pages can't be explicitly deleted from the a data file. The whole
+data file must be retired (see the relinquish cookie function below).
+
+Furthermore, note that this does not cancel the asynchronous read or write
+operation started by the read/alloc and write functions.
+
+
+==========================
+INDEX AND DATA FILE UPDATE
+==========================
+
+To request an update of the index data for an index or other object, the
+following function should be called:
+
+ void fscache_update_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+This function will refer back to the netfs_data pointer stored in the cookie by
+the acquisition function to obtain the data to write into each revised index
+entry. The update method in the parent index definition will be called to
+transfer the data.
+
+Note that partial updates may happen automatically at other times, such as when
+data blocks are added to a data file object.
+
+
+===============================
+MISCELLANEOUS COOKIE OPERATIONS
+===============================
+
+There are a number of operations that can be used to control cookies:
+
+ (*) Cookie pinning:
+
+ int fscache_pin_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+ void fscache_unpin_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
+
+ These operations permit data cookies to be pinned into the cache and to
+ have the pinning removed. They are not permitted on index cookies.
+
+ The pinning function will return 0 if successful, -ENOBUFS in the cookie
+ isn't backed by a cache, -EOPNOTSUPP if the cache doesn't support pinning,
+ -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space to honour the operation, -ENOMEM or
+ -EIO if there's any other problem.
+
+ (*) Data space reservation:
+
+ int fscache_reserve_space(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, loff_t size);
+
+ This permits a netfs to request cache space be reserved to store up to the
+ given amount of a file. It is permitted to ask for more than the current
+ size of the file to allow for future file expansion.
+
+ If size is given as zero then the reservation will be cancelled.
+
+ The function will return 0 if successful, -ENOBUFS in the cookie isn't
+ backed by a cache, -EOPNOTSUPP if the cache doesn't support reservations,
+ -ENOSPC if there isn't enough space to honour the operation, -ENOMEM or
+ -EIO if there's any other problem.
+
+ Note that this doesn't pin an object in a cache; it can still be culled to
+ make space if it's not in use.
+
+
+=====================
+COOKIE UNREGISTRATION
+=====================
+
+To get rid of a cookie, this function should be called.
+
+ void fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ int retire);
+
+If retire is non-zero, then the object will be marked for recycling, and all
+copies of it will be removed from all active caches in which it is present.
+Not only that but all child objects will also be retired.
+
+If retire is zero, then the object may be available again when next the
+acquisition function is called. Retirement here will overrule the pinning on a
+cookie.
+
+One very important note - relinquish must NOT be called for a cookie unless all
+the cookies for "child" indices, objects and pages have been relinquished
+first.
+
+
+================================
+INDEX AND DATA FILE INVALIDATION
+================================
+
+There is no direct way to invalidate an index subtree or a data file. To do
+this, the caller should relinquish and retire the cookie they have, and then
+acquire a new one.
+
+
+============================
+FS-CACHE SPECIFIC PAGE FLAGS
+============================
+
+FS-Cache makes use of two page flags, PG_private_2 and PG_owner_priv_2, for
+its own purpose. The first is given the alternative name PG_fscache and the
+second PG_fscache_write.
+
+FS-Cache uses these flags to keep track of two bits of information per cached
+netfs page:
+
+ (1) PG_fscache.
+
+ This indicates that the page is known by the cache, and that the cache
+ must be informed if the page is going to go away. It's an indication to
+ the netfs that the cache has an interest in this page, where an interest
+ may be a pointer to it, resources allocated or reserved for it, or I/O in
+ progress upon it.
+
+ The netfs can use this information in methods such as releasepage() to
+ determine whether it needs to uncache a page or update it.
+
+ Furthermore, if this bit is set, releasepage() and invalidatepage()
+ operations will be called on a page to get rid of it, even if PG_private
+ is not set. This allows caching to attempted on a page before
+ read_cache_pages() to be called after fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() as
+ the former will try and release pages it was given under certain
+ circumstances.
+
+ (2) PG_fscache_write.
+
+ This indicates that the page is being written to disk by the cache, and
+ that it cannot be released until completion. Ideally it shouldn't be
+ changed until completion either so as to maintain the known state of the
+ cache. This cannot be unified with PG_writeback as the page may be being
+ written to both the server and the cache at the same time or at different
+ times.
+
+ This can be used by the netfs to wait for a page to be written out to the
+ cache before, say, releasing or invalidating it, or before allowing
+ someone to modify it in page_mkwrite(), say.
+
+Neither of these two bits overlaps with such as PG_private. This means that
+FS-Cache can be used with a filesystem that uses the block buffering code.
+
+There are a number of operations defined on these two bits:
+
+ int PageFsCache(struct page *page);
+ void SetPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+ void ClearPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+ int TestSetPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+ int TestClearPageFsCache(struct page *page)
+
+ int PageFsCacheWrite(struct page *page)
+ void SetPageFsCacheWrite(struct page *page)
+ void ClearPageFsCacheWrite(struct page *page)
+ int TestSetPageFsCacheWrite(struct page *page)
+ int TestClearPageFsCacheWrite(struct page *page)
+
+These functions are bit test, bit set, bit clear, bit test and set and bit
+test and clear operations on PG_fscache and PG_fscache_write.
+
+ void wait_on_page_fscache_write(struct page *page)
+ void end_page_fscache_write(struct page *page)
+
+The first of these two functions waits uninterruptibly for PG_fscache_write to
+become clear, if it isn't already so. The second clears PG_fscache_write and
+wakes up anyone waiting for it.

I'd say, if one enabled PROC_FS and this fscache stuff, one should get files
in /proc. More, if one enables "gather statistics" (if it's performance-
or space- sensitive), one also gets fs/fscache/stats et al.

config option per proc file is way too much.

Export isn't needed because other modules can just create by path their proc
files and it will work as expected:

This is overly complex for unclear need. Just set_printf() all these lines

There is no set_printf() in Linus's tree. Did you mean seq_printf(), or is
this something I might find in -mm?

For performance reasons, one assumes. Are there any other reasons? Disconnected
operation, anything like that?

We would want to know the performance benefits in some detail before even
looking at the code, no? Maybe they're in here somewhere but I missed it..

Because if someone does a tar of, say, a kernel tree, that'll create one
thread per file... This provides a limiter - and makes sure there are threads
immediately available.

trylock_page() throws memory barriers in there on, say, PowerPC. That's
probably necessary.

Yeah, that worries me a bit too. That why we looked at reclaiming PG_private.
The patches to do that didn't appear to be interesting, however.

It depends on the configuration, but with maximum usage, 24 are used, except
on IA64 where 25 are used.

Well, there are still some places where PG_private does need to be checked
individually.

Sigh. Three points for you to consider:

(1) The prevailing comment style in struct address_space_operations does not
have comment delimiters on their own lines. This has the advantage that
it doesn't unnecessarily waste two lines per comment. I will advocate
that style for banner comments for top-level constructs, but for internal
comments it's generally a poor compromise.

The following comment on braces applies also to comments:

Also, note that this brace-placement also minimizes the number of empty
(or almost empty) lines, without any loss of readability. Thus, as the
supply of new-lines on your screen is not a renewable resource (think
25-line terminal screens here), you have more empty lines to put
comments on.

(2) Randy Dunlap should be beaten for his contribution to CodingStyle. Next
time I have the opportunity, I'll do just that, and this time I'll see
about using one of my own racquets rather than one of his:-P

(3) It's so much easier to write style guides than to properly document one's
code.

So you advocate a line exceeding 80 chars?

I contend that kerneldoc is a bad idea in many ways: it encourages people to
be lazy and to not write proper interface documentation.

I'll ditch the patch instead. I'm not using the function now.

I disagree with respect to the histogram stuff. The whole point of having
iterators is to iterate over a lot of things, and the histogram code may
generate several pages worth of data.

Anyway, I've sorted the stats and histogram code and documentation out for both
FS-Cache and CacheFiles and attached it here in one delta patch. Could you
look it over and see what you think? I'll merge it into the various patches
later.

The problem is that // style comments tend to encourage *really* short
comments, because we're already hitting col 80:

current->whizbang = some_random_func(dev->wombats, 0); //vryshrtcmmnt

Making people use block comments encourages this:

/*
* Since we're committed to at least 3 lines anyhow, take an
* extra line or two and explain why we're checking dev->wombats,
* rather than the more obvious proto->giraffe field....
*/
current->whizbang = some_random_func(dev->wombats, 0);

(And before you ask, trying to ban // comments on the right-hand of code, and
using // for block comments rather than /*... */ is the worst of both worlds.

I would have said that the prevailing comment style in struct
address_space_operations is sketchy or limited or lacking.

I want useful comments. I don't give a hoot whether they are in kernel-doc
format or /* or //. I'll even take them in a separate file if they are
more about theory of operation (overview) instead of directly related
to a struct or a function's operations, although some people want comments
only in source files because that is more likely to be updated when
needed. I agree with that sentiment, but I wouldn't limit people to
having comments only in source files. I just want comments or doc files
(which you usually provide plenty of).

Bring it on. and -ENOPATCH.

I don't own Documentation/CodingStyle. I'm just willing to send patches for it.
You (or anyone) can do the same.

Easy to write a style guide, but difficult to get consensus on it.

If you don't document your own code, who will do it? Probably nobody.

No, it's not fixed.

Either that or break the first line (function name & short description) up like:

/**
* fubar - generally scrog and muck the system [based on an armed forces acronym for guess what]
*/

Change that to:

/**
* fubar - scrog and muck up the system
*
* fubar (the name) is believed to come from an armed forces acronym
* for you_know_what.
*/

I can't/don't force you or anyone to write proper documentation, and the
maintainers who could do that don't do it.

But basically (see above), I just want documentation. It's form is
not a big deal to me. The good thing about kernel-doc is that it
provides some consistency. Have you ever heard of look and feel?
Well, documentation can have consistent look and feel too, and it should.

Do we make exceptions? Sure, we do. Just look at Documentation/lguest/.

OK.

Those two objectives seem incompatible. What does a caller do when the
limit has been hit? Do the work synchronously?

yup

yes, for some reason kereldoc-formatted comments usually aren't very
useful. They very often just don't convey useful insights. I wonder
why. Maybe people think that once they've filled out the form and
ticked all the boxes, they're done.

No. The work is queued for later processing by the pool. The piece of memory
that records the pending work is much smaller than the memory required to hold
a thread. The threads in the pool actually do the work. The submitter of the
work gets on with its life - unless it has to be synchronous.

I want to see proper interface documentation in Documentation. Where an
interface is treated as a process, and where it's viewed from both sides where
others are expected both to implement it and to use it.

My opinion is that you should document any interface you propose on the theory
that if you can't explain your interface, why should you expect anyone to
understand what it does?

If I get some spare time, I intend to start writing it for interfaces that
already exist but don't have it yet. It would then have to be up to those
that accept patches, from Linus on down, to force people to update
documentation when they submit a patch to alter, extend, add or remove an
interface. Unfortunately, I don't see that as being likely to happen:-(

Sorry, but this is one of my favourite rants.

I do document my own code. It's my responsibility to do so.

There are a number of reasons. It *can* improve performance, of the client,
the network and the server; and it can form the basis of disconnected
operation.

If the link is very slow, the disk may be fast enough that locally cached files
are faster pulled from disk on the client. If the link is very fast, then
pulling from RAM on the server may be much faster than the cache.

However, even if the link is very fast, if there are lots of clients, using a
cache may reduce the loading on the network because the clients are able to
satisfy read requests from their own disk rather than sucking the data over the
network. Furthermore, this will reduce the loading on the server as that also
has to do less work as it doesn't have to receive, process and respond to the
read requests.

FS-Cache does _not_ guarantee there will be a performance improvement on the
client. There _is_ a penalty associated with using a cache. The various
penalties imposed by a particular cache and the various enhancements supplied
by that cache are a compromise. Generally you cannot get an improvement in one
parameter without a further penalty elsewhere.

FS-Cache tries to be very simple: It allows the netfs to store pages, to key
those pages in such a way that it can retrieve them later, and to allow
coherency data to be stored about those pages - all without the netfs knowing
anything about how the cache actually works, or if there's even a cache at all.
That means, however, that the netfs must decide how and when it wants to use
the facility.

> We would want to know the performance benefits in some detail before even

Now that I've applied the comments I got, I'll get you some benchmarks. I'll
have to see about setting up some realistic test scenarios.

My current testing rig involves a single client connected by GigE to a single
server with little other traffic on the network. In this situation uncached
NFS (22s[*]) creams cached NFS (18m) because the working set fits entirely into
RAM on the server, but doesn't on the client, so the client has to read the
whole lot from disk each time (lots of synchronous seek penalties), but the
server doesn't.

[*] Eight parallel tars over three 350MB kernel trees pulled by NFS. Three
tars on each of two trees, two tars on the third. The client machine has
1GB of RAM.

This is not a situation in which I'd normally use a cache, except if I was
expecting the server to disappear randomly and wanted to be able to go on
working.

So I need to slow down the network. Pulling from my AFS server, which is at
the far end of a ~50MB/s ethernet-over-mains network, the cache makes much more
of a difference.

Okay... You wanted some benchmarks, here are some. I should try and automate
the procedure since it's pretty straightforward, just time consuming to do by
hand.


ENVIRONMENT
===========

I'm using a pair of computers, one an NFS server, the other an NFS client,
connected by ZyXEL PL-100 ethernet-over-mains adapters to throttle the network
bandwidth.

As far as I can tell, the TCP bandwidth as seen by a pair of netcats communing
with each other maxes out at about 890KB/s or 6.95 Mbits/s. Amazon rates the
PL-100's as up to 85Mbits/s, but I don't seem to be getting anything like that.

The client was rebooted after each test, but the server wasn't. The server was
persuaded to pull the entire working set for each test into RAM to eliminate
disk I/O latencies at that end.

The Ext3 partition used for the cache was tuned to have 4096-byte blocks.
During each run, a watch was put on the FS-Cache statistics on the client
machine:

watch -n0 cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats

This went over SSH to my desktop machine by GigE ethernet.


FIRST BENCHMARK
===============

The first benchmark involved pulling a 100MB file by NFS to the client using
cat to /dev/zero run under time as a test. The 'Time taken' reported by time
was logged. The benchmark was repeated three times and the average was taken:

Cache RUN #1 RUN #2 RUN #3 AVG
======= =============== =============== =============== ===============
SERVER 0m0.062s
NONE 1m59.462s 1m59.948s 2m1.852s 2.007 mins
COLD 1m58.448s 1m59.436s 2m5.746s 2.020 mins
HOT 0m2.235s 0m2.154s 0m2.171s 0.036 mins
PGCACHE 0m0.040s

Firstly the test was run on the server twice and the second result logged
(SERVER).

Secondly, the client was rebooted and the test was run with the cachefilesd not
started and that was logged (NONE). After rebooting, the cache contents were
erased (mke2fs) and cachefilesd was started and the test run again, which
loaded the cache (COLD). Then the box was rebooted, cachefilesd was started
and the test run a third time, this time with a populated cache (HOT). This
was repeated twice.

Finally, for reference, the client test was run again without unmounting,
stopping or rebooting anything so that the client's pagecache would act as the
cache (PGCACHE).


SECOND BENCHMARK
================

The second benchmark involved pulling a 256MB (as reported by du -s) kernel
tree or 1185 directories containing 19258 files using a single tar to /dev/zero
as a tesk. The 'Time taken' reported by time was logged. The benchmark was
repeated three times and the average was taken:

Cache RUN #1 RUN #2 RUN #3 AVG
======= =============== =============== =============== ===============
SERVER 0m0.348s
NONE 7m35.335s 7m42.075s 7m32.797s 7.612 mins
COLD 7m45.117s 7m54.774s 8m2.172s 7.900 mins
HOT 7m14.970s 7m10.953s 7m16.390s 7.235 mins
PGCACHE 3m10.864s

The procedure was as for the first benchmark.

For the second benchmark I also gathered data from the /proc/$$/mountstats file
to determine the network loading of run #3. The following table shows the
counts of three different RPC operations issued, and the number of bytes read
over the network as part of READ RPC operations:

Cache GETATTR (N) ACCESS (N) READ (N) READ (BYTES)
======= =============== =============== =============== ===============
NONE 22371 20486 21402 221252168
COLD 22411 20486 21402 221252168
HOT 22495 20481 0 0


CONCLUSION
==========

As can be seen, the network link I have between my test server and test client
is at about the break-even point for a large quantity of medium-small files (as
might be found in a source tree) with respect to the total time it takes to
completely read the files over NFS.

However, for those medium-small files, the reduction in network loading is huge
for repeat mass reads. The time went from 7.6mins to 7.2mins, which is nice
but not hugely significant, but the network loading dropped by ~21,000 RPC
operations at a grand total of >220MB of data on the wire, allowing for network
metadata, within those 7 minutes.


For fewer but much larger files the cache has a proportionately greater effect
as the client incurs lower costs from Ext3 lookups as it is doing many fewer of
them, but gains greatly from Ext3's ability to glue large groups of contiguous
reads together and to do lookahead. Similarly to the previous case, having
this data in the cache will reduce the network loading for repeat reads.


A comparison of the second benchmark test run against the server's pagecache
versus that test run against the client's pagecache is quite interesting. The
server can perform the tar in a third of a second, but the client takes over
three minutes.

That would indicate that something on the order of just over 3 minutes's worth
of time is spent by each of the NONE, COLD and HOT test runs doing things other
than reads. That would be GETATTR, ACCESS, and READDIRPLUS ops.

Another way of looking at it is that the NONE test or the second test spends a
little over 4 minutes doing READ ops from the network, and that the HOT test
spends almost as much time doing lookup, getxattr and read ops against Ext3.

It's also worth noting that the neither benchmark did the COLD test take very
much more time than the NONE test, despite doing lookups, mkdirs, creates,
setxattrs and writes in the background.


Of course, these two benchmarks are very much artificial: there was no other
significant loading on the network between the client and the server; there was
no other significant load on either machine; the cache started out empty and
probably got loaded in optimal order; the cache was large enough to never need
culling; only one program (cat or tar) was run at once.

Can you explain the purpose of the SLOW_WORK_PENDING bit a bit more?
I don't understand why you need it, or what exactly you're doing here.

Seems like if someone enqueues a work item twice in a row, behavior
is unpredicatble? If it's done fast enough, the second submission
will be ignored. If slow enough, then the first will have started
executing already, so PENDING bit will have cleared, so this
will set the DEFERRED bit. But I suspect I'm completely
misunderstanding?

Just curious - why -5? Whenever it is actually running you'd like it

I suspect there will be a requirement to tune this at runtime.

Using num_possible_cpus() would be more accurate here. One could
easily envisage NR_CPUS=1024 on a 2-way machine. Generally any use
of NR_CPUS is a red flag. In fact there's a checkpatch warning about
it now.

If you look at the line immediately following that:

if (!test_and_set_bit_lock(SLOW_WORK_PENDING, &work->flags)) {
spin_lock_irqsave(&slow_work_queue_lock, flags);

you'll notice that it disables interrupts and takes a spinlock. We'd like to
avoid that if we can.

Yes, that's fine. The facility promises to invoke the work function at some
time in the future; it doesn't promise to run it once per enqueuement request.

Another way to look at it is that if you call slow_work_enqueue(), you can be
certain that the work function will be run sometime in the future.

I could count the number of enquements and run the work function once per
enqueuement, but that isn't really necessary. The work function can be made
to work that out for itself. It can even enqueue itself if it thinks it
should be run again.

The PENDING bit promises that the work function will be run in the future.

The ENQ_DEFERRED bit is an delayed form of queueing. If a work item is
currently under execution, we cannot at this point queue it for further
execution as we promise that a work function will only be executing in one
thread at any one time. If we did immediately stick it on the to-be-executed
queue, someone might come along and try executing it.

The ENQ_DEFERRED bit is handled at the end of execution, after the EXECUTING
bit has been cleared, but before the spinlock is dropped. If the ENQ_DEFERRED
bit is set, the PENDING bit must also be set.

I guess I need to stick a comment in slow_work_enqueue() to detail this,
though the comments in slow_work_execute() do talk about it.

Actually, that's entirely arbitrary. I should probably make it configurable.

It's normally performing I/O on behalf of other tasks. I'm not sure what the
best way to prioritise it is.

Thanks. I like useful comments as I may need to re-understand the code I've
written should I have to fix it in five years time.

Yes. See:

This has been fixed in ver #42, which is what is in the GIT trees. I can post
that as patches if you like. Well #43, I've just noticed a bug:-(.

I suppose so.

And wrongly. I should use IS_ERR(p) not !p.
