aio_setup_ring waits for mmap_sem in writable mode. If the waiting task
gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from
asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM
resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR
if the task got killed while waiting. This will also expedite the
return to the userspace and do_exit.

exit_aio() currently serializes killing io contexts. Each context
killing ends up having to do percpu_ref_kill(), which in turns has
to wait for an RCU grace period. This can take a long time, depending

when we could be waiting for all of them in one fell swoop.

We check if ->ki_pos is positive. However, by that point we have
already done rw_verify_area(), which would have rejected such
unless the file had been one of /dev/mem, /dev/kmem and /proc/kcore.
All of which do not have vectored rw methods, so we would've bailed
out even earlier.
This check had been introduced before rw_verify_area() had been added there
- in fact, it was a subset of checks done on sync paths by rw_verify_area()
(back then the /dev/mem exception didn't exist at all). The rest of checks
(mandatory locking, etc.) hadn't been added until later. Unfortunately,
by the time the call of rw_verify_area() got added, the /dev/mem exception
had already appeared, so it wasn't obvious that the older explicit check
downstream had become dead code. It *is* a dead code, though, since the few
files for which the exception applies do not have ->aio_{read,write}() or
->{read,write}_iter() and for them we won't reach that check anyway.
What's more, even if we ever introduce vectored methods for /dev/mem
and friends, they'll have to cope with negative positions anyway, since
readv(2) and writev(2) are using the same checks as read(2) and write(2) -
i.e. rw_verify_area().

Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but
still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb. Split out
the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and
only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack. The
aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can
easily get back to it by using container_of.
Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call
into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems
impementing asynchronous operations. It will also allow other callers
to substitute their own completion callback.
We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering
violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add
eventfd notification about ffs events").

backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.
Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for

There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

Markus reported that when shutting down mysqld (with AIO support,
on a ext3 formatted Harddrive) leads to a negative number of dirty pages
(underrun to the counter). The negative number results in a drastic reduction
of the write performance because the page cache is not used, because the kernel
thinks it is still 2 ^ 32 dirty pages open.

The cause is that we set the aio ring file pages as *DIRTY* via SetPageDirty
(bypasses the VFS dirty pages increment) when init, and aio fs uses
*default_backing_dev_info* as the backing dev, which does not disable
the dirty pages accounting capability.
So truncating aio ring file will contribute to accounting dirty pages (VFS
dirty pages decrement), then error occurs.
The original goal is keeping these pages in memory (can not be reclaimed
or swapped) in life-time via marking it dirty. But thinking more, we have
already pinned pages via elevating the page's refcount, which can already
achieve the goal, so the SetPageDirty seems unnecessary.
In order to fix the issue, using the __set_page_dirty_no_writeback instead
of the nop .set_page_dirty, and dropped the SetPageDirty (don't manually
set the dirty flags, don't disable set_page_dirty(), rely on default behaviour).
With the above change, the dirty pages accounting can work well. But as we
known, aio fs is an anonymous one, which should never cause any real write-back,
we can ignore the dirty pages (write back) accounting by disabling the dirty
pages (write back) accounting capability. So we introduce an aio private
backing dev info (disabled the ACCT_DIRTY/WRITEBACK/ACCT_WB capabilities) to
replace the default one.

With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.
Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.
This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained
These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

We ran into a case on ppc64 running mariadb where io_getevents would
return zeroed out I/O events. After adding instrumentation, it became
clear that there was some missing synchronization between reading the
tail pointer and the events themselves. This small patch fixes the
problem in testing.

As reported by Dan Aloni, commit f8567a3845 ("aio: fix aio request
leak when events are reaped by userspace") introduces a regression when
user code attempts to perform io_submit() with more events than are
available in the ring buffer. Reverting that commit would reintroduce a
regression when user space event reaping is used.
Fixing this bug is a bit more involved than the previous attempts to fix
this regression. Since we do not have a single point at which we can
count events as being reaped by user space and io_getevents(), we have
to track event completion by looking at the number of events left in the
event ring. So long as there are as many events in the ring buffer as
there have been completion events generate, we cannot call
put_reqs_available(). The code to check for this is now placed in
refill_reqs_available().
A test program from Dan and modified by me for verifying this bug is available
at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/20140824-aio_bug.c .

aio: use iovec array rather than the single one
aio: fix some comments
aio: use the macro rather than the inline magic number
aio: remove the needless registration of ring file's private_data
aio: remove no longer needed preempt_disable()

aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock()
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
- Major reorganization of percpu header files which I think makes
things a lot more readable and logical than before.
- percpu-refcount is updated so that it requires explicit destruction
and can be reinitialized if necessary. This was pulled into the
block tree to replace the custom percpu refcnting implemented in
blk-mq.
- In the process, percpu and percpu-refcount got cleaned up a bit
* 'for-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (21 commits)
percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_reinit() and percpu_ref_is_zero()
percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly
percpu-refcount: use unsigned long for pcpu_count pointer
percpu-refcount: add helpers for ->percpu_count accesses
percpu-refcount: one bit is enough for REF_STATUS
percpu-refcount, aio: use percpu_ref_cancel_init() in ioctx_alloc()
workqueue: stronger test in process_one_work()

percpu: Use ALIGN macro instead of hand coding alignment calculation
percpu: invoke __verify_pcpu_ptr() from the generic part of accessors and operations
percpu: preffity percpu header files
percpu: use raw_cpu_*() to define __this_cpu_*()
percpu: reorder macros in percpu header files
percpu: move {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions to include/linux/percpu-defs.h
percpu: move generic {raw|this}_cpu_*_N() definitions to include/asm-generic/percpu.h
percpu: only allow sized arch overrides for {raw|this}_cpu_*() ops
percpu: reorganize include/linux/percpu-defs.h
percpu: move accessors from include/linux/percpu.h to percpu-defs.h
percpu: include/asm-generic/percpu.h should contain only arch-overridable parts

Previously, we only offer a single iovec to handle all the read/write cases, so
the PREADV/PWRITEV request always need to alloc more iovec buffer when copying
user vectors.
If we use a tmp iovec array rather than the single one, some small PREADV/PWRITEV
workloads(vector size small than the tmp buffer) will not need to alloc more
iovec buffer when copying user vectors.

As of commit f8567a3845 it is now possible to
have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available()
is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This
lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run
under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by
disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available.
Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
going through re-allocation.
* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
count with static percpu variables.
* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
percpu_ref_cancel_init().
This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().
All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

ioctx_alloc() reaches inside percpu_ref and directly frees
->pcpu_count in its failure path, which is quite gross. percpu_ref
has been providing a proper interface to do this,
percpu_ref_cancel_init(), for quite some time now. Let's use that
instead.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

ioctx_add_table() is the writer, it does not need rcu_read_lock() to
protect ->ioctx_table. It relies on mm->ioctx_lock and rcu locks just
add the confusion.
And it doesn't need rcu_dereference() by the same reason, it must see
any updates previously done under the same ->ioctx_lock. We could use
rcu_dereference_protected() but the patch uses rcu_dereference_raw(),
the function is simple enough.
The same for kill_ioctx(), although it does not update the pointer.
