2011-02-12jbd2: call __jbd2_log_start_commit with j_state_lock write lockedTheodore Ts'o
On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that __jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which will grab the write lock.

2011-02-12ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIOEric Sandeen
ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated by xfstest 240. The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new" block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated and causes data corruption. Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here. The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO. This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level. I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the work queue to do conversions - which must also take the i_mutex. So that won't work. This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned) but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day. Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here; unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

2011-02-12ext4: make grpinfo slab cache names staticEric Sandeen
In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module loads & unloads. I tracked this down to: fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures (this was in addition to the features advert unload problem) The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates & frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different... so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double freeing the one allocated by slub. After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2 method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from a list of static names. (This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with parallel mounts running).

2011-02-11drivers/w1/masters/omap_hdq.c: add missing clk_putJulia Lawall
This code makes two calls to clk_get, then test both return values and fails if either failed. The problem is that in the first inner if, where the first call to clk_get has failed, it don't know if the second call has failed as well. So it don't know whether clk_get should be called on the result of the second call. Of course, it would be possible to test that value again. A simpler solution is just to test the result of calling clk_get directly after each call. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ position p1,p2; expression e; statement S; @@ e = clk_get@p1(...) ... if@p2 (IS_ERR(e)) S @@ expression e; statement S; identifier l; position r.p1, p2 != r.p2; @@ *e = clk_get@p1(...) ... when != clk_put(e) *if@p2 (...) { ... when != clk_put(e) * return ...; }// </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Amit Kucheria <amit.kucheria@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-02-11vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is doneJohannes Weiner
Commit 3e7d34497067 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim") introduced an indefinite loop in shrink_zone(). It meant to break out of this loop when no pages had been reclaimed and not a single page was even scanned. The way it would detect the latter is by taking a snapshot of sc->nr_scanned at the beginning of the function and comparing it against the new sc->nr_scanned after the scan loop. But it would re-iterate without updating that snapshot, looping forever if sc->nr_scanned changed at least once since shrink_zone() was invoked. This is not the sole condition that would exit that loop, but it requires other processes to change the zone state, as the reclaimer that is stuck obviously can not anymore. This is only happening for higher-order allocations, where reclaim is run back to back with compaction.

2011-02-11mlock: do not munlock pages in __do_fault()Michel Lespinasse
If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW. However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present), so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.

2011-02-11mlock: fix race when munlocking pages in do_wp_page()Michel Lespinasse
vmscan can lazily find pages that are mapped within VM_LOCKED vmas, and set the PageMlocked bit on these pages, transfering them onto the unevictable list. When do_wp_page() breaks COW within a VM_LOCKED vma, it may need to clear PageMlocked on the old page and set it on the new page instead. This change fixes an issue where do_wp_page() was clearing PageMlocked on the old page while the pte was still pointing to it (as well as rmap). Therefore, we were not protected against vmscan immediately transfering the old page back onto the unevictable list. This could cause pages to get stranded there forever. I propose to move the corresponding code to the end of do_wp_page(), after the pte (and rmap) have been pointed to the new page. Additionally, we can use munlock_vma_page() instead of clear_page_mlock(), so that the old page stays mlocked if there are still other VM_LOCKED vmas mapping it.

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. qemu-nbd D 0000000000000001 0 16115 16114 0x00000004 ffff88007d775d98 0000000000000082 ffff88007d775fd8 ffff88007d774000 0000000000013a80 ffff8800020347e0 ffff88007d775fd8 0000000000013a80 ffff880133730000 ffff880002034440 ffffea0004333db8 ffffffffa071c020 Call Trace: [<ffffffff815b9997>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xf7/0x180 [<ffffffff815b93eb>] mutex_lock+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffffa071a21c>] nbd_ioctl+0x6c/0x1c0 [nbd] [<ffffffff812cb970>] blkdev_ioctl+0x230/0x730 [<ffffffff811967a1>] block_ioctl+0x41/0x50 [<ffffffff81175c03>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x93/0x370 [<ffffffff81175f61>] sys_ioctl+0x81/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100c0c2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Instrumenting the nbd module's ioctl handler with some extra logging clearly shows the NBD_DO_IT ioctl being invoked which is a long-lived ioctl in the sense that it doesn't return until another ioctl asks the driver to disconnect. However, that other ioctl blocks, waiting for the module-level mutex that replaced the BKL, and then we're stuck. This patch removes the module-level mutex altogether. It's clearly wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.

2011-02-11ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()Tejun Heo
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be dangerous. The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state. This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

2011-02-11vfs: call rcu_barrier after ->kill_sb()Boaz Harrosh
In commit fa0d7e3de6d6 ("fs: icache RCU free inodes"), we use rcu free inode instead of freeing the inode directly. It causes a crash when we rmmod immediately after we umount the volume[1]. So we need to call rcu_barrier after we kill_sb so that the inode is freed before we do rmmod. The idea is inspired by Aneesh Kumar. rcu_barrier will wait for all callbacks to end before preceding. The original patch was done by Tao Ma, but synchronize_rcu() is not enough here. 1. http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=129680863330185&w=2 Tested-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-02-11Fix possible filp_cachep memory corruptionLinus Torvalds
In commit 31e6b01f4183 ("fs: rcu-walk for path lookup") we started doing path lookup using RCU, which then falls back to a careful non-RCU lookup in case of problems (LOOKUP_REVAL). So do_filp_open() has this "re-do the lookup carefully" looping case. However, that means that we must not release the open-intent file data if we are going to loop around and use it once more! Fix this by moving the release of the open-intent data to the function that allocates it (do_filp_open() itself) rather than the helper functions that can get called multiple times (finish_open() and do_last()). This makes the logic for the lifetime of that field much more obvious, and avoids the possible double free. Reported-by: J. R.
