Mateusz Guzik reported :
Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.
Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.
Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c
A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.
We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.
__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.
The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())
resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.
rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.
It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz

rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong,
1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a8707 "vfs: fix
RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really
fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can
hit the same race with get_files_struct().
And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct
warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD)
task.
2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this
files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless
unless the caller is the owner.
Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means
it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files,
but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next
patch.
This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into
__fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared"
callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid
the warning from RCU-lockdep.
fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert()
plus __fcheck_files().

Similar situation to that of __alloc_fd(); do not use unless you
really have to. You should not touch any descriptor table other
than your own; it's a sure sign of a really bad API design.
As with __alloc_fd(), you *must* use a first-class reference to
struct files_struct; something obtained by get_files_struct(some task)
(let alone direct task->files) will not do. It must be either
current->files, or obtained by get_files_struct(current) by the
owner of that sucker and given to you.

Essentially, alloc_fd() in a files_struct we own a reference to.
Most of the time wanting to use it is a sign of lousy API
design (such as android/binder). It's *not* a general-purpose
interface; better that than open-coding its guts, but again,
playing with other process' descriptor table is a sign of bad
design.

Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then
use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros.
This:
(1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set:
(a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the
time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of
unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the
fd_set at all?
(b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as
SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside
the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set.
(2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely.
(3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to
userspace.

Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
fd_sets.
The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.
This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:
void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.
Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
the array. Possibly that should exist too.

If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some
other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep
splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after
the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().
This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process. To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for
thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
provided in a separate commit.

Impact: cleanup
We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fdtable.h has an implicit include file dependency: it
uses __init does not include init.h.
This can cause build failures on non-x86 architectures:
/home/mingo/tip/include/linux/fdtable.h:66: error: expected '=', ',',
';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'files_defer_init'
make[2]: *** [fs/locks.o] Error 1
We got this header included indirectly via rcupdate.h's percpu.h
inclusion - but if that is not there the build will break.
Fix it.
