* [PATCH] suspend regression: sysfs deadlockHugh Dickins2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0. This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7 "Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()". sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In fixing a bug Samba 3.0.26pre allowed some clients (including Linux cifs client) to change file size to zero in SET_FILE_UNIX_BASIC (which Linux cifs client uses for chmod). The server has been "fixed" now but that also fixes the client to net send file size zero on chmod. Fixes Samba bugzilla bug # 4418.

* | [PATCH] ext[34]: EA block reference count racing fixMingming Cao2007-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block (h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it. Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock. ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious problem might happen. We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in- the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it). This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all. We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer () as well).

It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a directory during a request.

What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request. The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of mount fails removed earlier in development.

This happens because the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to. Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those exists in the tree.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the DIO write on FAT is expanding the size, it will be fail by -EINVAL, because FAT can't handle it now. This patch fallback it to the normal buffered-write and would return success.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew noticed that unlocking the page before submitting all buffers for writeout could cause problems if the IO completes before we've finished messing around with the page buffers, and they subsequently get freed. Even if there were no bug, it is a good idea to bring the error case into line with the common case here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental majors. Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug. The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into behaving.

| * | | [JFFS2] Use MTD_OOB_AUTO to automatically place cleanmarker on NANDArtem Bityutskiy2007-02-09

This patch teaches JFFS2 to use this nice feature instead of the old MTD_OOB_PLACE option. This for example caused problems with OneNAND. Now JFFS2 does not care how are the free bytes situated. This may change position of the clean marker on some flashes, but this is not a problem. JFFS2 will just re-erase the empty eraseblocks and write the new (correct) clean marker.
