2006-06-22[PATCH] Fix dcache race during umountNeilBrown2-7/+61
The race is that the shrink_dcache_memory shrinker could get called while a filesystem is being unmounted, and could try to prune a dentry belonging to that filesystem. If it does, then it will call in to iput on the inode while the dentry is no longer able to be found by the umounting process. If iput takes a while, generic_shutdown_super could get all the way though shrink_dcache_parent and shrink_dcache_anon and invalidate_inodes without ever waiting on this particular inode. Eventually the superblock gets freed anyway and if the iput tried to touch it (which some filesystems certainly do), it will lose. The promised "Self-destruct in 5 seconds" doesn't lead to a nice day. The race is closed by holding s_umount while calling prune_one_dentry on someone else's dentry. As a down_read_trylock is used, shrink_dcache_memory will no longer try to prune the dentry of a filesystem that is being unmounted, and unmount will not be able to start until any such active prune_one_dentry completes. This requires that prune_dcache *knows* which filesystem (if any) it is doing the prune on behalf of so that it can be careful of other filesystems. shrink_dcache_memory isn't called it on behalf of any filesystem, and so is careful of everything. shrink_dcache_anon is now passed a super_block rather than the s_anon list out of the superblock, so it can get the s_anon list itself, and can pass the superblock down to prune_dcache. If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other thread will be removing that dentry soon. To try to make sure that some work gets done, a limited number of dnetries which are untouchable are skipped over while choosing the dentry to work on. I believe this race was first found by Kirill Korotaev.

2006-06-22[PATCH] remove steal_locks()Miklos Szeredi4-60/+0
This patch removes the steal_locks() function. steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc. In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in parallel to execve(). The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing: clone(CLONE_FILES) /* in child */ lock execve lock POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by "child". According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would also fail. Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before execve. Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np()) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction. Apps using clone() natively are affected if they - use clone(CLONE_FILES) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible. If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so that network and local filesystems work consistently. That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be preferred by most people.

2006-06-22[PATCH] Fix a race condition between ->i_mapping and iput()OGAWA Hirofumi1-7/+25
This race became a cause of oops, and can reproduce by the following. while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/.static/dev/hdg1 bs=512 count=1000 & sync done This race condition was between __sync_single_inode() and iput(). cpu0 (fs's inode) cpu1 (bdev's inode) ----------------- ------------------- close("/dev/hda2") [...] __sync_single_inode() /* copy the bdev's ->i_mapping */ mapping = inode->i_mapping; generic_forget_inode() bdev_clear_inode() /* restre the fs's ->i_mapping */ inode->i_mapping = &inode->i_data; /* bdev's inode was freed */ destroy_inode(inode); if (wait) { /* dereference a freed bdev's mapping->host */ filemap_fdatawait(mapping); /* Oops */ Since __sync_single_inode() is only taking a ref-count of fs's inode, the another process can be close() and freeing the bdev's inode while writing fs's inode. So, __sync_signle_inode() accesses the freed ->i_mapping, oops. This patch takes a ref-count on the bdev's inode for the fs's inode before setting a ->i_mapping, and the clear_inode() of the fs's inode does iput() on the bdev's inode. So if the fs's inode is still living, bdev's inode shouldn't be freed.

2006-06-21[PATCH] Driver core: add generic "subsystem" link to all devicesKay Sievers1-0/+4
Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless of the way the driver core has created it.

The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify, making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be called per inotify_watch.

2006-05-29[MTD] Rework the out of band handling completelyThomas Gleixner2-112/+119
Hopefully the last iteration on this! The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the read/write _oob functions in mtd. The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at least seven arguments. read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do the following tasks: - read/write out of band data - read/write data content and out of band data - read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled) struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode. Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation, the other two modes are for mtd clients: MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC placement algorithms. MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout data structre which is associated to the devicee. The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write data routines are invoked. Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible regressions for your particular device / application scenario Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go for a real solution. Improvements and bugfixes are welcome! Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

2006-05-21[PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious valuePeter Staubach1-1/+1
Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check" export option. The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client. The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again. In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the server for a particular user. A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

2006-05-21[PATCH] NFS: fix error handling on access_ok in compat_sys_nfsservctlLin Feng Shen1-85/+92
Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans, compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans, which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to compat_sys_nfsservctl. An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns -EFAULT. The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value of access_ok in the five functions.

Well, almost. We'll actually keep a 'TEST_TOTLEN' macro set for now, and keep doing some paranoia checks to make sure it's all working correctly. But if TEST_TOTLEN is unset, the size of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref drops from 16 bytes to 12 on 32-bit machines.

Now we read the last page only once, and read more only if we need to. We also don't allocate a new buffer just for the summary code -- we use the buffer which was already allocated for the scan. Better still, if the 'buffer' for the scan is actually just a pointer directly into NOR flash, we use that too, avoiding the memcpy() which we used to do.

Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it. We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo). This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it, it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we can expect. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2006-05-15[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error pathJan Niehusmann1-1/+3
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb filesystem. In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499 corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being set after freeing the slab. In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found ERESTARTSYS), I found the following: if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) { /* * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the * request from the recvq/xmitq. */ smb_lock_server(server); if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) { list_del_init(&req->rq_queue); smb_rput(req); } smb_unlock_server(server); } [...] if (signal_pending(current)) req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS; I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted code. Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS). If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it. I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev pointers.

2006-05-15[PATCH] autofs4: NFY_NONE wait race fixIan Kent3-34/+58
This patch fixes two problems. First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect. Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff Moyer. The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's needed. If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is cleared.

2006-05-15[JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy codeDavid Woodhouse1-1/+13
If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal on architectures like ARM. Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that, we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised away completely in the normal case. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2006-05-14[JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files.David Woodhouse1-6/+14
We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being picked for GC. One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the offending nodes will be garbage collected. The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page. This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5). There are some significant differences from previous version posted at last December. The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support. Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype. In addition, some bugs are fixed. - A potential race condition was fixed. - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed. - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed. The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed and updated if necessary. Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

2006-05-12Alternative fix for MMC oops on unmount after removalLinus Torvalds1-1/+2
Make sure to clear the driverfs_dev pointer when we do del_gendisk() (on disk removal), so that other users that may still have a ref to the disk won't try to use the stale pointer. Also move the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent handler up, so that the uevent still has access to the driverfs_dev data. This all should hopefully fix the problems with MMC umounts after device removals that caused commit 56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7 and its reversal (1a2acc9e9214699a99389e323e6686e9e0e2ca67).

Some places in ext3 multiple block allocation code (in 2.6.17-rc3) don't handle the little endian well. This was resulting in *wrong* block numbers being assigned to in-memory block variables and then stored on disk eventually. The following patch has been verified to fix an ext3 filesystem failure when run ltp test on a 64 bit machine.

2006-05-02[PATCH] vmsplice: restrict stealing a little moreJens Axboe2-4/+4
Apply the same rules as the anon pipe pages, only allow stealing if no one else is using the page. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-02[PATCH] splice: fix page LRU accountingJens Axboe1-10/+21
Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it, however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU list or not. So remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU and do this check/add manually in pipe_to_file() instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-02[PATCH] vmsplice: fix badly placed end paranthesisJens Axboe1-1/+1
We need to use the minium of {len, PAGE_SIZE-off}, not {len, PAGE_SIZE}-off. The latter doesn't make any sense, and could cause us to attempt negative length transfers... Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-05-01[PATCH] vmsplice: allow user to pass in gift pagesJens Axboe1-3/+25
If SPLICE_F_GIFT is set, the user is basically giving this pages away to the kernel. That means we can steal them for eg page cache uses instead of copying it. The data must be properly page aligned and also a multiple of the page size in length. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
