| * dquot: cleanup dquot initialize routineChristoph Hellwig2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.

| * dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig2010-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories. Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas can use to fill in ->open. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

* ext3: ext3_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_superEric Sandeen2009-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ext3_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext3_remount(). Port of ext4 commit a63c9eb2ce6f5028da90f282798232c4f398ceb8 by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.

* sanitize xattr handler prototypesChristoph Hellwig2009-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch. Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later, e.g. cifs.

* ext3: Fix data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy dataJan Kara2009-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ext3_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we have to truncate pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data corruption.

This is one of the accesses that was causing the crc errors in journal replay as seen in kernel.org bugzilla #14354. The modifications were originally to keep the sb "more" in sync, so that a readonly fsck of the device didn't flag this as an error (as often), but apparently e2fsprogs deals with this differently now, anyway.

The symptom is corrupted orphan lists and inodes with the wrong i_size stored on disk. I was convinced the data=guarded code was just missing a call to ext3_mark_inode_dirty, but tracing showed the i_disksize I was sending to ext3_mark_inode_dirty wasn't actually making it to the drive. ext3_mark_inode_dirty can be called without locks held (atime updates and a few others), so the data=guarded code uses locks while updating the in-memory inode, and then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty without any locks held. But, ext3_mark_inode_dirty has no internal locking to make sure that only one CPU is updating the buffer head at a time. Generally this works out ok because everyone that changes the inode then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty themselves. Even though it races, eventually someone updates the buffer heads and things move on. But there is still a risk of the wrong values getting in, and the data=guarded code seems to hit the race very often. Since everyone that changes the inode also logs it, it should be possible to fix this with some memory barriers. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader and lock the buffer head instead. It it probably a good idea to have a different patch series for lockless bit flipping on the ext3 i_state field. ext3_do_update_inode &= clears EXT3_STATE_NEW without any locks held.

* | ext3: Fix possible deadlock between ext3_truncate() and ext3_get_blocks()Jan Kara2009-09-16
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding truncate_mutex and that violates lock ordering because truncate_mutex ranks below transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext3_get_blocks() allocating new blocks from ext3_writepage()). Luckily, the problem is easy to fix: We just drop the truncate_mutex before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. We are safe to do this as by the time ext3_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped and so writepage() cannot come and allocate new blocks in the part of the file we are truncating. The rest of writers is stopped by us holding i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDEREDTheodore Ts'o2009-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered. Despite the fact that old description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy' default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the whole story. This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3 developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

* ext3: Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle()Jan Kara2009-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not make much sence. Currently it was set only by ext3_getblk(). Since the parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check that the three callers which end up calling ext3_getblk() with create == 1 (ext3_append, ext3_quota_write, ext3_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

* ext3: Fix truncation of symlinks after failed writeJan Kara2009-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contents of long symlinks is written via standard write methods. So when the write fails, we add inode to orphan list. But symlinks don't have .truncate method defined so nobody properly removes them from the orphan list (both on disk and in memory). Fix this by calling ext3_truncate() directly instead of calling vmtruncate() (which is saner anyway since we don't need anything vmtruncate() does except from calling .truncate in these paths). We also add inode to orphan list only if ext3_can_truncate() is true (currently, it can be false for symlinks when there are no blocks allocated) - otherwise orphan list processing will complain and ext3_truncate() will not remove inode from on-disk orphan list.
