[ANN] unionfs patchset-11 release
It is my pleasure and honor to announce the availability of the unionfs patchset-11. Patchset-11: For 7-current http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/unionfs-p11.diff For 6.x http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/unionfs6-p11.diff Changes in unionfs-p11.diff - Changed a few implementations around the lock/unlock mechanism. Because of this, you can use both the unionfs and the nullfs together without LK_CANRECURSE. - Fixed a bug that sometimes does not unlock if it cannot create shadow file. The documents of those unionfs patches: http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/ (English) http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/index-ja.html (Japanese) Heads Up: Fabian Keil gave me a good patch to fix my broken English. Above English text is good rather than pre one. Heads Up: Above English text contains some Japanese text. If you are interested in translating the Japanese text into English, please do it and send it to me. ATTENTION: If someone knows the details of vnode's lock status via VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT, Please teach us (daichi, ozawa). We want to know the details.

Because of this, you can use both the unionfs and the nullfs together without LK_CANRECURSE. - Fixed a bug that sometimes does not unlock if it cannot create shadow file. First off, thanks again for working on this! If someone knows the details of vnode's lock status via VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT, Please teach us (daichi, ozawa). We want to know the details. Basically, file systems supporting full file system snapshots (UFS) provide a mechanism to "lock out" writers before they enter VFS so that they don't end up holding write locks for long periods, leading to deadlock. vn_start_write() is called to notify the file system that a thread is about to enter the file system for a write, and vn_write_finished() is called to notify the file system it is done. In effect, it's a giant reader-writer lock, which allows multiple readers and multipler writers, except during snapshot generation, when it blocks new writers until the snapshot is generated. In general, you'll notice two sorts of logic around calls to vn_start_write(): a first set, where vn_start_write() is called once holding a vnode reference, is acquired, and then things continue as normal, with a final vn_finished_write() call at the end. In this situation, vnode locks are acquired after the vn_start_write() call, but vnode references are held before (since vn_start_write() takes a vnode so that it can find the file system). The other circumstance is where vnode locks may already be held, in which case a non-sleeping acquire is performed, since in effect this is a violation of lock order. If it fails, the vnode lock is released, the reference is acquired, and then the whole operation is restarted so that we can try again to acquire the vnode lock under circumstances where file system snapshot lock can be safely acquired. So basically, it has deadlock detection and recovery logic. The V_XSLEEP lock basically says "Sleep until the snapshot lock would be available, then return", which loops back so we can re-try the acquires. So according to the above, the file system snapshot lock is *before* the vnode locks in the lock order, although in practice we acquire in any order as long as it won't lead to deadlock (in which case we recover). The logic here is a little shaky in practice -- among other things, it looks like potentially the mount point could go away during the call to vn_start_write() once the vnode is released in the deadlock detection code, but in practice this probably never happens. Notice that the above is all couched in terms of a single file system, not stacking. This is probably because it was all written with UFS and not stacking in mind.

Hi Goto-san, From: Daichi GOTO Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 21:19:06 +0900 ::It is my pleasure and honor to announce the availability of ::the unionfs patchset-11. :: Heads Up: Above English text contains some Japanese text. :: If you are interested in translating the Japanese :: text into English, please do it and send it to me. How about this? =-- On creating a hardlink, due to VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT() called right after lookup(), if only files exist in the underlying filesystem, VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT() cannot be process on the vnode for the layer above. Thus creating hardlink fails. A complete fix is to change VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT() to create a shadowfile, but its not possible due to the fact that, locking status of vnode passed as argument to VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT() is not stable. In the current kernel code base, filesystems using vop_stdgetwritemount() simply aquire mount point vnode, thus using vnode for directory above seems to suffice and used for the current implementation. But this logic cannot be considered safe and may cause problems in the future. Also, when mounting a directory containing multiple mount points using unionfs, becomes evil. Thus, it is dangerous to mount directories containing multiple mount points, using the current implementation of unionfs. =-- Hope this helps, Haro =-- _ _Munehiro (haro) Matsuda -|- /_\ |_|_| Internet Solution Dept., KGT Inc. /|\ |_| |_|_| 2-8-8 Shinjuku Shinjuku-ku Tokyo 160-0022, Japan Tel: +81-3-3225-0767 Fax: +81-3-3225-0740 Email: haro-at-kgt.co.jp ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I got the same panic with /usr mounted rewritable and both directories on the same file system this time. Running patch -p1 < ~/test/combi.patch seems to be enough to trigger the panic. I tried three runs with a smaller patch (unionfs6-p11.diff) without panic, I then took the bigger patch again and a few seconds later the system panicked. > Another thing which could be significant or not: > After my last mail I closed Xorg and tried to reproduce the > panic two times, but couldn't. After a reboot the panic > occurred right after the first attempt. I'm not sure anymore if I used the same patch the first times.
