* [PATCH] block_read_full_page() get_block() error handling fixAndrew Morton2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If block_read_full_page() detects an error when running get_block() it will run SetPageError(), then it will zero out the block in pagecache and will mark the buffer_head uptodate. So at the end of readahead we end up with a non-uptodate pagecache page which is marked PageError. But it has uptodate buffers. The pagefault code will run ClearPageError, will launch readpage a second time and block_read_full_page() will notice the uptodate buffers and will mark the page uptodate as well. We end up with an uptodate, !PageError page full of zeros and the error is lost. (It seems a little odd that filemap_nopage() runs ClearPageError(). I guess all of this adds up to meaning that for each attempted access to the page, the pagefault handler will retry the I/O. Which is good and bad. If the app is ignoring SIGBUS for some reason we could get a lot of back-to-back I/O errors.) Fix it by not marking the pagecache buffer_head as uptodate if the attempt to map that buffer to a disk block failed.

* [PATCH] revert msdos partitioning fixAndrew Morton2005-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This change from March 3rd causes the partition parsing code to ignore partitions which have a signature byte of zero. Turns out that more people have such partitions than we expected, and their device numbering is coming up wrong in post-2.6.11 kernels. So revert the change while we think about the problem a bit more.

* [PATCH] __block_write_full_page race fixNick Piggin2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2 on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would very quickly hit BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh)); in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh at a time. What would happen is the following: 2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page. Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page. Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers. Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page. Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers. => both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write, end_page_writeback is called. Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page. Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that. Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer. => oops. So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last request.

The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree won't be changed after we grab that semaphore. We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch(). The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more readable.

At that point we are free to change layout of in_core_key - nothing depends on it anymore. So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64 k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those. That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.
