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.

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

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.

OK. To me the code looks better/simpler with "if (ctx)", but this is subjective
of course, I won't argue.
The patch still removes the empty line between mmap_size = 0 and kill_ioctx(),
we reset mmap_size only for kill_ioctx(). But feel free to remove this change.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock()
1. We can read ->ioctx_table only once and we do not read rcu_read_lock()
or even rcu_dereference().
This mm has no users, nobody else can play with ->ioctx_table. Otherwise
the code is buggy anyway, if we need rcu_read_lock() in a loop because
->ioctx_table can be updated then kfree(table) is obviously wrong.
2. Update the comment. "exit_mmap(mm) is coming" is the good reason to avoid
munmap(), but another reason is that we simply can't do vm_munmap() unless
current->mm == mm and this is not true in general, the caller is mmput().
3. We do not really need to nullify mm->ioctx_table before return, probably
the current code does this to catch the potential problems. But in this
case RCU_INIT_POINTER(NULL) looks better.

deletes aio context and all resources related to. It makes sense that
no IO operations connected to the context should be running after the context
is destroyed. As we removed io_context we have no chance to
get requests status or call io_getevents().
man page for io_destroy says that this function may block until
all context's requests are completed. Before kernel 3.11 io_destroy()
blocked indeed, but since aio refactoring in 3.11 it is not true anymore.
Here is a pseudo-code that shows a testcase for a race condition discovered
in 3.11:
initialize io_context
io_submit(read to buffer)
io_destroy()
// context is destroyed so we can free the resources
free(buffers);
// if the buffer is allocated by some other user he'll be surprised
// to learn that the buffer still filled by an outstanding operation
// from the destroyed io_context
The fix is straight-forward - add a completion struct and wait on it
in io_destroy, complete() should be called when number of in-fligh requests
reaches zero.
If two or more io_destroy() called for the same context simultaneously then
only the first one waits for IO completion, other calls behaviour is undefined.
Tested: ran http://pastebin.com/LrPsQ4RL testcase for several hours and
do not see the race condition anymore.

As reported by Tang Chen, Gu Zheng and Yasuaki Isimatsu, the following issues
exist in the aio ring page migration support.
As a result, for example, we have the following problem:
thread 1 | thread 2
|
aio_migratepage() |
|-> take ctx->completion_lock |
|-> migrate_page_copy(new, old) |
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old |
|
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
| aio_read_events_ring()
| |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
| |-> ring->head = head; *HERE, write to the old ring page*
| |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
|
|-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new |
| *BUT NOW*, the content of |
| ring_pages[idx] is old. |
|-> release ctx->completion_lock |
As above, the new ring page will not be updated.
Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding
the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration. This avoids
the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's
and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code.
Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the
migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock(). Page migration is not a 100%
critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be
tolerated. This issue was reported by Sasha Levin.
Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx->completion_lock.
Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping->private_lock, and
have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling
put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx->ring_pages[]. This simplifies the
error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness.
v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.

aio: fix kioctx leak introduced by "aio: Fix a trinity splat"
Since commit 36bc08cc01 ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages
migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing
inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous
pages.
However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it
would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so
that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to
look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use
"get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created.
Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the
pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of
mappings, for example).
So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove
some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was
removed in commit d6c355c7da ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page
lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and
now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

aio kiocb refcounting was broken - it was relying on keeping track of
the number of available ring buffer entries, which it needs to do
anyways; then at shutdown time it'd wait for completions to be delivered
until the # of available ring buffer entries equalled what it was
initialized to.
Problem with that is that the ring buffer is mapped writable into
userspace, so userspace could futz with the head and tail pointers to
cause the kernel to see extra completions, and cause free_ioctx() to
return while there were still outstanding kiocbs. Which would be bad.
Fix is just to directly refcount the kiocbs - which is more
straightforward, and with the new percpu refcounting code doesn't cost
us any cacheline bouncing which was the whole point of the original
scheme.
Also clean up ioctx_alloc()'s error path and fix a bug where it wasn't

Dmitry Vyukov managed to trigger a case where aio_migratepage can cause a
use-after-free during teardown of the aio ring buffer's mapping. This turns
out to be caused by access to the ioctx's ring_pages via the migratepage
operation which was not being protected by any locks during ioctx freeing.
Use the address_space's private_lock to protect use and updates of the mapping's
private_data, and make ioctx teardown unlink the ioctx from the address space.

Prior to the introduction of page migration support in "fs/aio: Add support
to aio ring pages migration" / 36bc08cc01,
mapping of the ring buffer pages was done via get_user_pages() while
retaining mmap_sem held for write. This avoided possible races with userland
racing an munmap() or mremap(). The page migration patch, however, switched
to using mm_populate() to prime the page mapping. mm_populate() cannot be
called with mmap_sem held.
Instead of dropping the mmap_sem, revert to the old behaviour and simply
drop the use of mm_populate() since get_user_pages() will cause the pages to
get mapped anyways. Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this issue.

The commit 36bc08cc01 ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration")
added some debugging code that is not required and resulted in a build error
when 98474236f7 ("vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure")
was added to the tree. The code is not required, so just delete it.

Another shortcoming of the table lookup patch was revealed where the pointer
was not being tested before being dereferenced. Verify this to avoid the
NULL pointer dereference.

In the patch "aio: convert the ioctx list to table lookup v3", incorrect
handling in the ioctx_alloc() error path was introduced that lead to an
ioctx being added via ioctx_add_table() while freed when the ioctx_alloc()
call returned -EAGAIN due to hitting the aio_max_nr limit. Fix this by
only calling ioctx_add_table() as the last step in ioctx_alloc().
Also, several unnecessary rcu_dereference() calls were added that lead to
RCU warnings where the system was already protected by a spin lock for
accessing mm->ioctx_table.

In the event that an overflow/underflow occurs while calculating req_batch,
clamp the minimum at 1 request instead of doing a BUG_ON().

I've got an alternate approach for fixing this wart in lookup_ioctx()...
Instead of using an rbtree, just use the reserved id in the ring buffer
header to index an array pointing the ioctx. It's not finished yet, and
it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there.
