|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 'for-linus' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: SUNPRC: Fix printk format warning nfsd: clean up svc_reserve_auth() NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flight NLM: don't reattempt GRANT_MSG when there is already an RPC in flight NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clients
| * NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flightJeff Layton2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block back into the nlm_blocked list. This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
| * NLM: don't reattempt GRANT_MSG when there is already an RPC in flightJeff Layton2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the current scheme in nlmsvc_grant_blocked, we can end up with more than one GRANT_MSG callback for a block in flight. Right now, we requeue the block unconditionally so that a GRANT_MSG callback is done again in 30s. If the client is unresponsive, it can take more than 30s for the call already in flight to time out. There's no benefit to having more than one GRANT_MSG RPC queued up at a time, so put it on the list with a timeout of NLM_NEVER before doing the RPC call. If the RPC call submission fails, we requeue it with a short timeout. If it works, then nlmsvc_grant_callback will end up requeueing it with a shorter timeout after it completes.

| * NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasksJeff Layton2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in the RPC queue. Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks. lockd requeues the block anyway, so this should be OK. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

| * NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clientsJeff Layton2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this: 1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file 2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and awaits the callback 3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc) 4) client1 releases the lock ...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of 30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats. Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls. Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes nlm_async_call return quickly when called. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
* | splice: fix user pointer access in get_iovec_page_array()Bastian Blank2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

* | ext4: Add new "development flag" to the ext4 filesystemTheodore Tso2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This flag is simply a generic "this is a crash/burn test filesystem" marker. If it is set, then filesystem code which is "in development" will be allowed to mount the filesystem. Filesystem code which is not considered ready for prime-time will check for this flag, and if it is not set, it will refuse to touch the filesystem. As we start rolling ext4 out to distro's like Fedora, et. al, this makes it less likely that a user might accidentally start using ext4 on a production filesystem; a bad thing, since that will essentially make it be unfsckable until e2fsprogs catches up.

* | ext4: allocate struct ext4_allocation_context from a kmem cacheEric Sandeen2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct ext4_allocation_context is rather large, and this bloats the stack of many functions which use it. Allocating it from a named slab cache will alleviate this. For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier): -ext4_mb_new_blocks 200 +ext4_mb_new_blocks 40 -ext4_mb_free_blocks 344 +ext4_mb_free_blocks 168 -ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 216 +ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 40 -ext4_mb_release_group_pa 192 +ext4_mb_release_group_pa 24 Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do. So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those functions, if preferred. For now, in those cases where the ac is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history recording, and does not cause any other failures.

* | JBD2: Clear buffer_ordered flag for barried IO request on successDave Kleikamp2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In JBD2 jbd2_journal_write_commit_record(), clear the buffer_ordered flag for the bh after barried IO has succeed. This prevents later, if the same buffer head were submitted to the underlying device, which has been reconfigured to not support barrier request, the JBD2 commit code could treat it as a normal IO (without barrier). This is a port from JBD/ext3 fix from Neil Brown. More details from Neil: Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. JBD2 deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling this in JBD2 for ext4 . When ext4/JBD2 to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal.

* | ext4: Fix Direct I/O lockingJan Kara2008-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We cannot start transaction in ext4_direct_IO() and just let it last during the whole write because dio_get_page() acquires mmap_sem which ranks above transaction start (e.g. because we have dependency chain mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen. We solve the problem by starting a transaction separately for each ext4_get_block() call. We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data. But that does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and thus in case of crash, journal replay will truncate inode back to the original size.

* | allow in-inode EAs on ext4 root inodeEric Sandeen2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ext3 root inode was treated specially with respect to in-inode extended attributes, for reasons detailed in the removed comment below. The first mkfs-created inodes would not get extra_i_size or the EXT3_STATE_XATTR flag set in ext3_read_inode, which disallowed reading or setting in-inode EAs on the root. However, in ext4, ext4_mark_inode_dirty calls ext4_expand_extra_isize for all inodes; once this is done EAs may be placed in the root ext4 inode body. But for reasons above, it won't be found after a reboot. testcase: setfattr -n user.name -v value mntpt/ setfattr -n user.name2 -v value2 mntpt/ umount mntpt/; remount mntpt/ getfattr -d mntpt/ name2/value2 has gone missing; debugfs shows it in the inode body, but it is not found there by getattr. The following fixes it up; newer mkfs appears to properly zero the inodes, so this workaround isn't needed for ext4.

* | jbd2: Add error check to journal_wait_on_commit_record to avoid oopsMingming Cao2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buffer head pointer passed to journal_wait_on_commit_record() could be NULL if the previous journal_submit_commit_record() failed or journal has already aborted. Looking at the jbd2 debug messages, before the oops happened, the jbd2 is aborted due to trying to access the next log block beyond the end of device. This might be caused by using a corrupted image. We need to check the error returns from journal_submit_commit_record() and avoid calling journal_wait_on_commit_record() in the failure case.

Otherwise quota will try to write to read-only filesystem which does no good... We could also just refuse to remount ro when quota is enabled but turning quota off is consistent with what we do on umount.

* | | | ext3 can fail badly when device stops accepting BIO_RW_BARRIER requestsNeil Brown2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot any more. ext3 (and other filesystems) deal with this by always testing if BIO_RW_BARRIER requests fail with EOPNOTSUPP, and retrying the write requests without the barrier (probably after waiting for any pending writes to complete). However there is a bug in the handling for this for ext3. When ext3 (jbd actually) decides to submit a BIO_RW_BARRIER request, it sets the buffer_ordered flag on the buffer head. If the request completes successfully, the flag STAYS SET. Other code might then write the same buffer_head after the device has been reconfigured to not accept barriers. This write will then fail, but the "other code" is not ready to handle EOPNOTSUPP errors and the error will be treated as fatal. This can be seen without having to reconfigure a device at exactly the wrong time by putting: if (buffer_ordered(bh)) printk("OH DEAR, and ordered buffer\n"); in the while loop in "commit phase 5" of journal_commit_transaction. If it ever prints the "OH DEAR ..." message (as it does sometimes for me), then that request could (in different circumstances) have failed with EOPNOTSUPP, but that isn't tested for. My proposed fix is to clear the buffer_ordered flag after it has been used, as in the following patch.

* | | | reduce large do_mount stack usage with noinlinesEric Sandeen2008-02-08

These functions are called only as do_mount() helpers; none of them should be in any path that would see a performance benefit from inlining...

* | | | buffer_head: fix private_list handlingJan Kara2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two possible races in handling of private_list in buffer cache. 1) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list, it clears b_assoc_mapping and moves buffer to its private list. Now drop_buffers() comes, sees a buffer is on list so it calls __remove_assoc_queue() which complains about b_assoc_mapping being cleared (as it cannot propagate possible IO error). This race has been actually observed in the wild. 2) When fsync_buffers_list() processes a private_list, mark_buffer_dirty_inode() can be called on bh which is already on the private list of fsync_buffers_list(). As buffer is on some list (note that the check is performed without private_lock), it is not readded to the mapping's private_list and after fsync_buffers_list() finishes, we have a dirty buffer which should be on private_list but it isn't. This race has not been reported, probably because most (but not all) callers of mark_buffer_dirty_inode() hold i_mutex and thus are serialized with fsync(). Fix these issues by not clearing b_assoc_map when fsync_buffers_list() moves buffer to a dedicated list and by reinserting buffer in private_list when it is found dirty after we have submitted buffer for IO. We also change the tests whether a buffer is on a private list from !list_empty(&bh->b_assoc_buffers) to bh->b_assoc_map so that they are single word reads and hence lockless checks are safe.

Pure a.out systems will still work of course. This allows to simplify the hairy ELF loader.
