2010-04-03cifs: Fix a kernel BUG with remote OS/2 server (try #3)Suresh Jayaraman
While chasing a bug report involving a OS/2 server, I noticed the server sets pSMBr->CountHigh to a incorrect value even in case of normal writes. This results in 'nbytes' being computed wrongly and triggers a kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c. void iov_iter_advance(struct iov_iter *i, size_t bytes) { BUG_ON(i->count < bytes); <--- BUG here Why the server is setting 'CountHigh' is not clear but only does so after writing 64k bytes. Though this looks like the server bug, the client side crash may not be acceptable. The workaround is to mask off high 16 bits if the number of bytes written as returned by the server is greater than the bytes requested by the client as suggested by Jeff Layton.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-06cifs: overhaul cifs_revalidate and rename to cifs_revalidate_dentryJeff Layton
cifs_revalidate is renamed to cifs_revalidate_dentry as a later patch will add a by-filehandle variant. Add a new "invalid_mapping" flag to the cifsInodeInfo that indicates that the pagecache is considered invalid. Add a new routine to check inode attributes whenever they're updated and set that flag if the inode has changed on the server. cifs_revalidate_dentry is then changed to just update the attrcache if needed and then to zap the pagecache if it's not valid. There are some other behavior changes in here as well. Open files are now allowed to have their caches invalidated. I see no reason why we'd want to keep stale data around just because a file is open. Also, cifs_revalidate_cache uses the server_eof for revalidating the file size since that should more closely match the size of the file on the server.

cifs_from_ucs2 returns the length of the converted name, including the length of the NULL terminator.

2009-12-10vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semanticsChristoph Hellwig
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

2009-12-03cifs: NULL out tcon, pSesInfo, and srvTcp pointers when chasing DFS referralsJeff Layton
The scenario is this: The kernel gets EREMOTE and starts chasing a DFS referral at mount time. The tcon reference is put, which puts the session reference too, but neither pointer is zeroed out. The mount gets retried (goto try_mount_again) with new mount info. Session setup fails fails and rc ends up being non-zero. The code then falls through to the end and tries to put the previously freed tcon pointer again. Oops at: cifs_put_smb_ses+0x14/0xd0 Fix this by moving the initialization of the rc variable and the tcon, pSesInfo and srvTcp pointers below the try_mount_again label. Also, add a FreeXid() before the goto to prevent xid "leaks".

2009-11-24[CIFS] Duplicate data on appending to some Samba serversSteve French
SMB writes are sent with a starting offset and length. When the server supports the newer SMB trans2 posix open (rather than using the SMB NTCreateX) a file can be opened with SMB_O_APPEND flag, and for that case Samba server assumes that the offset sent in SMBWriteX is unneeded since the write should go to the end of the file - which can cause problems if the write was cached (since the beginning part of a page could be written twice by the client mm). Jeff suggested that masking the flag on posix open on the client is easiest for the time being. Note that recent Samba server also had an unrelated problem with SMB NTCreateX and append (see samba bugzilla bug number 6898) which should not affect current Linux clients (unless cifs Unix Extensions are disabled). The cifs client did not send the O_APPEND flag on posix open before 2.6.29 so the fix is unneeded on early kernels. In the future, for the non-cached case (O_DIRECT, and forcedirectio mounts) it would be possible and useful to send O_APPEND on posix open (for Windows case: FILE_APPEND_DATA but not FILE_WRITE_DATA on SMB NTCreateX) but for cached writes although the vfs sets the offset to end of file it may fragment a write across pages - so we can't send O_APPEND on open (could result in sending part of a page twice).

CIFS must now pass THIS_MODULE as that argument, lest the following error be observed: fs/cifs/cifsfs.c: In function 'init_cifs': fs/cifs/cifsfs.c:1040: error: too few arguments to function 'slow_work_register_user' Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
