* ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extentTheodore Ts'o2009-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

* ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initializedAneesh Kumar K.V2009-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks() function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping. When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin phase of write(2).

* ext4: Use a fake block number for delayed new buffer_headAneesh Kumar K.V2009-05-12
| | | | | | | | | Use a very large unsigned number (~0xffff) as as the fake block number for the delayed new buffer. The VFS should never try to write out this number, but if it does, this will make it obvious.

* ext4: Fix sub-block zeroing for writes into preallocated extentsAneesh Kumar K.V2009-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the page cache content properly for a partial write. This will cause file corruption with preallocation. Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata() unmaps the correct block.

* ext4: Do not try to validate extents on special filesTheodore Ts'o2009-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EXTENTS_FL flag should never be set on special files, but if it is, don't bother trying to validate that the extents tree is valid, since only files, directories, and non-fast symlinks will ever have an extent data structure. We perhaps should flag the filesystem as being corrupted if we see a special file (named pipes, device nodes, Unix domain sockets, etc.) with the EXTENTS_FL flag, but e2fsck doesn't currently check this case, so we'll just ignore this for now, since it's harmless. Without this fix, a special device with the extents flag is flagged as an error by the kernel, so it is impossible to access or delete the inode, but e2fsck doesn't see it as a problem, leading to confused/frustrated users.

* ext4: Ignore i_file_acl_high unless EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT is presentTheodore Ts'o2009-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature bit is set. The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of "be liberal in what you accept", don't look at i_file_acl_high unless we are using a 64-bit filesystem.

* ext4: Fix softlockup caused by illegal i_file_acl value in on-disk inodeTheodore Ts'o2009-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that "__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system is forcibly rebooted. So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal, and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

However, in ext4_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
| * | ext4: tighten restrictions on inode flagsDuane Griffin2009-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set on non-regular file, non-directories. Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to facilitate future consistency.

| * | ext4: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parentDuane Griffin2009-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present INDEX and EXTENTS are the only flags that new ext4 inodes do NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, IMAGIC, TOPDIR, HUGE_FILE and EXT_MIGRATE from being inherited. List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from accidentally being inherited. This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.

| * | ext4: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka Enberg2009-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info enough to fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of 32 KB saving 14 KB of memory.

| * | ext4: New rec_len encoding for very large blocksizesWei Yongjun2009-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535 means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels. It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

| * | ext4: remove call to ext4_group_desc() in ext4_group_used_meta_blocks()Theodore Ts'o2009-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The static function ext4_group_used_meta_blocks() only has one caller, who already has access to the block group's group descriptor. So it's better to have ext4_init_block_bitmap() pass the group descriptor to ext4_group_used_meta_blocks(), so it doesn't need to call ext4_group_desc(). Previously this function did not check if ext4_group_desc() returned NULL due to an error, potentially causing a kernel OOPS report. This avoids the issue entirely.
