* vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrsJan Kara2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

* JFFS2 Fix of panics caused by wrong condition for hole frag creation in ↵Alexey Korolev2008-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | write_begin This fixes a regression introduced in commit 205c109a7a96d9a3d8ffe64c4068b70811fef5e8 when switching to write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2. The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko <vasiliy.leonenko@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields2008-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

* | asmlinkage_protect sys_io_geteventsRoland McGrath2008-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

* | asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath2008-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags, rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the sb_features2 value. Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current session will use the feature. Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as: XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for something else later on.

* | Be more careful about marking buffers dirtyLinus Torvalds2008-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe. Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

It simply contains garbage from pagecache and result in data leakage. #TEST_CASE_BEGIN: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In fact issue triggered by classical testcase open("/mnt/test", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 ftruncate(3, 409600) = 0 writev(3, [{"a", 1}, {NULL, 4095}], 2) = 1 ##TESTCASE_SOURCE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <errno.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, ret; void* p; struct iovec iov[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666); ftruncate(fd, 409600); iov[0].iov_base="a"; iov[0].iov_len=1; iov[1].iov_base=NULL; iov[1].iov_len=4096; ret = writev(fd, iov, sizeof(iov)/sizeof(struct iovec)); printf("writev = %d, err = %d\n", ret, errno); return 0; } ##TESTCASE RESULT: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@ts63 ~]# mount | grep mnt2 /dev/mapper/test on /mnt2 type ext2 (rw,nobh) [root@ts63 ~]# /tmp/writev /mnt2/test writev = 1, err = 0 [root@ts63 ~]# hexdump -C /mnt2/test 00000000 61 65 62 6f 6f 74 00 00 f0 b9 b4 59 3a 00 00 00 |aeboot.....Y:...| 00000010 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000020 df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df |................| 00000030 3a 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |:...*...!.......| 00000040 60 c0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 40 4a 8d 00 00 00 00 00 |`.......@J......| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000060 74 69 6d 65 20 64 64 20 69 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f |time dd if=/dev/| 00000070 6c 6f 6f 70 30 20 20 6f 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 6e |loop0 of=/dev/n| skip.. 00000f50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........1.......| 00000f60 6d 6b 66 73 2e 65 78 74 33 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 |mkfs.ext3 /dev/v| 00000f70 7a 76 67 2f 74 65 73 74 20 2d 62 34 30 39 36 00 |zvg/test -b4096.| 00000f80 a0 fe 8c 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........!.......| 00000f90 23 31 32 30 35 39 35 30 34 30 34 00 3a 00 00 00 |#1205950404.:...| 00000fa0 20 00 8d 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000fb0 d0 cf 8c 00 00 00 00 00 10 d0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000fc0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000fd0 6d 6f 75 6e 74 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 7a 76 67 2f |mount /dev/vzvg/| 00000fe0 74 65 73 74 20 20 2f 76 7a 20 2d 6f 20 64 61 74 |test /vz -o dat| 00000ff0 61 3d 77 72 69 74 65 62 61 63 6b 00 00 00 00 00 |a=writeback.....| 00001000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros. #TEST_CASE_END Attached patch: - Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller, This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero *fadata pointer at the same time. - Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case. - Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers. This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin was called previously.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk(). Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with: * It's in the middle of recursion. Depth is equal to the nesting depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8. * struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk, at least 12 pointers + 5 ints. * moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation. * there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have stack footprint. * kernel stack is not infinite. The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

| * [PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate private use of struct file in xattrJeff Mahoney2008-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the reiserfs xattr code. As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it. reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vfs_kern_mount() requires having a reference to fs type, which makes it impossible for module to create procfs, etc. private mount. Open-coding is not an option, since e.g. put_filesystem() is _not_ exported, and for a good reason. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * | [CIFS] file create with acl support enabled is slowSteve French2008-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Shirish Pargaonkar noted: With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server, exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code again opens the file to obtain security descriptor. The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.
