| * | Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsdDavid Woodhouse2009-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the directory. This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit 14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex. While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno. And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM. Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about __cold__. Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery code") introduced a similar problem with calling lookup_one_len() without i_mutex, which this patch also addresses. To fix that, it was necessary to fix the called functions so that they expect i_mutex to be held; that part was done by J. Bruce Fields.

* | Don't set relatime when noatime is specifiedAndi Kleen2009-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 0a1c01c9477602ee8b44548a9405b2c1d587b5a2 ("Make relatime default") when a file system is mounted explicitely with noatime it gets both the MNT_RELATIME and MNT_NOATIME bits set. This shows up like this in /proc/mounts: /dev/xxx /yyy ext3 rw,noatime,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0 That looks strange. The VFS uses noatime in this case, but both flags are set. So it's more a cosmetic issue, but still better to fix. Cc: mjg@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buffer for this was resized recently to fix a bug. It's still possible however that a malicious server could overflow this field by sending characters in it that are >2 bytes in the local charset. Double the size of the buffer to account for this possibility. Also get rid of some really strange and seemingly pointless NULL termination. It's NULL terminating the string in the source buffer, but by the time that happens, we've already copied the string.

| * | cifs: fix unicode string area word alignment in session setupJeff Layton2009-04-16

This isn't the case if the string area is already word-aligned. This problem, combined with the bad buffer sizing for the serverDomain string can cause memory corruption. The bad alignment can make it so that the alignment of the characters is off. This can make them translate to characters that are greater than 2 bytes each. If this happens we can overflow the allocation. Fix this by fixing the alignment in CIFS_SessSetup instead so we can verify it against the head of the response. Also, clean up the workaround for improperly terminated strings by checking for a odd-length unicode buffers and then forcibly terminating them. Finally, resize the buffer for serverDomain. Now that we've fixed the alignment, it's probably fine, but a malicious server could overflow it. A better solution for handling these strings is still needed, but this should be a suitable bandaid.

We can also get rid of the dnotify thread as well. In actuality, it never had anything to do with dir_notify anyway. All it did was unnecessarily wake up all the tasks waiting on the response queues every 15s. Previously that happened to prevent tasks from hanging indefinitely when the server went unresponsive, but we put those to sleep with proper timeouts now so there's no reason to keep this around.

The first two didn't handle update the size correctly when writes that didn't start at the eof were done. The first patch also didn't update the size correctly when it explicitly set via truncate(). This patch adds code to track the client's current understanding of the size of the file on the server separate from the i_size, and then to use this info to semi-intelligently set the timeout for writes past the EOF. This helps prevent timeouts when trying to write large, sparse files on windows servers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

There's another problem though -- if we change the mode so that the file becomes read-only then we may not be able to write data to it after a reconnect. Fix this by just going back to flushing all the dirty data on any setattr call. There are probably some cases that can be optimized out, but I'm not sure they're worthwhile and we need to consider them more carefully to make sure that we don't cause regressions if we have to reconnect before writeback occurs.

Drivers may call flush_scheduled_work() in their shutdown routines, in which case lockdep will complain with something like the following: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.29-rc8-kk #1 --------------------------------------------- events/4/56 is trying to acquire lock: (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257fc0>] flush_workqueue+0x0/0xa0 but task is already holding lock: (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230 other info that might help us debug this: 3 locks held by events/4/56: #0: (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230 #1: (&ss->work){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230 #2: (pci_remove_rescan_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff803c10d1>] remove_callback+0x21/0x40 stack backtrace: Pid: 56, comm: events/4 Not tainted 2.6.29-rc8-kk #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8026dfcd>] validate_chain+0xb7d/0x1260 [<ffffffff8026eade>] __lock_acquire+0x42e/0xa40 [<ffffffff8026f148>] lock_acquire+0x58/0x80 [<ffffffff80257fc0>] ? flush_workqueue+0x0/0xa0 [<ffffffff8025800d>] flush_workqueue+0x4d/0xa0 [<ffffffff80257fc0>] ? flush_workqueue+0x0/0xa0 [<ffffffff80258070>] flush_scheduled_work+0x10/0x20 [<ffffffffa0144065>] e1000_remove+0x55/0xfe [e1000e] [<ffffffff8033ee30>] ? sysfs_schedule_callback_work+0x0/0x50 [<ffffffff803bfeb2>] pci_device_remove+0x32/0x70 [<ffffffff80441da9>] __device_release_driver+0x59/0x90 [<ffffffff80441edb>] device_release_driver+0x2b/0x40 [<ffffffff804419d6>] bus_remove_device+0xa6/0x120 [<ffffffff8043e46b>] device_del+0x12b/0x190 [<ffffffff8043e4f6>] device_unregister+0x26/0x70 [<ffffffff803ba969>] pci_stop_dev+0x49/0x60 [<ffffffff803baab0>] pci_remove_bus_device+0x40/0xc0 [<ffffffff803c10d9>] remove_callback+0x29/0x40 [<ffffffff8033ee4f>] sysfs_schedule_callback_work+0x1f/0x50 [<ffffffff8025769a>] run_workqueue+0x15a/0x230 [<ffffffff80257648>] ? run_workqueue+0x108/0x230 [<ffffffff8025846f>] worker_thread+0x9f/0x100 [<ffffffff8025bce0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff802583d0>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x100 [<ffffffff8025b89d>] kthread+0x4d/0x80 [<ffffffff8020d4ba>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8020cebc>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8025b850>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80 [<ffffffff8020d4b0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 Although we know that the device_unregister path will never acquire a lock that a driver might try to acquire in its ->remove, in general we should never attempt to flush a workqueue from within the same workqueue, and lockdep rightly complains. So as long as sysfs attributes cannot commit suicide directly and we are stuck with this callback mechanism, put the sysfs callbacks on their own workqueue instead of the global one. This has the side benefit that if a suicidal sysfs attribute kicks off a long chain of ->remove callbacks, we no longer induce a long delay on the global queue. This also fixes a missing module_put in the error path introduced by sysfs-only-allow-one-scheduled-removal-callback-per-kobj.patch. We never destroy the workqueue, but I'm not sure that's a problem.

* / Add block_write_full_page_endio for passing endio handlerChris Mason2009-04-16
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | block_write_full_page doesn't allow the caller to control what happens when the IO is over. This adds a new call named block_write_full_page_endio so the buffer head end_io handler can be provided by the caller. This will be used by the ext3 data=guarded mode to do i_size updates in a workqueue based end_io handler. end_buffer_async_write is also exported so it can be called to do the dirty work of managing page writeback for the higher level end_io handler.
