2011-06-03UBIFS: fix memory leak on error pathArtem Bityutskiy
UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object. Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
2011-05-16UBIFS: synchronize write-buffer before switching to the next budArtem Bityutskiy
Currently when UBIFS fills up the current bud (which is the last in the journal head) and switches to the next bud, it first writes the log reference node for the next bud and only after this synchronizes the write-buffer of the previous bud. This is not a big deal, but an unclean power cut may lead to a situation when we have corruption in a next-to-last bud, although it is much more logical that we have to have corruption only in the last bud. This patch also removes write-buffer synchronization from 'ubifs_wbuf_seek_nolock()' because this is not needed anymore (we synchronize the write-buffer explicitly everywhere now) and also because this is just prone to various errors.

2011-05-13UBIFS: improve space checking debugging featureArtem Bityutskiy
This patch improves the 'dbg_check_space_info()' function which checks whether the amount of space before re-mounting and after re-mounting is the same (remounting from R/O to R/W modes and vice-versa). The problem is that 'dbg_check_space_info()' does not save the budgeting information before re-mounting, so when an error is reported, we do not know why the amount of free space changed. This patches makes the following changes: 1. Teaches 'dbg_dump_budg()' function to accept a 'struct ubifs_budg_info' argument and print out the this argument. This way we may ask it to print any saved budgeting info, no only the current one. 2. Accordingly changes all the callers of 'dbg_dump_budg()' to comply with the changed interface. 3. Introduce a 'saved_bi' (saved budgeting info) field to 'struct ubifs_debug_info' and save the budgeting info before re-mounting there. 4. Change 'dbg_check_space_info()' and make it print both old and new budgeting information. 5. Additionally, save 'c->igx_gc_cnt' and print it if and error happens. This value contributes to the amount of free space, so we have to print it. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-05-13UBIFS: simplify dbg_dump_budg calling conventionsArtem Bityutskiy
The current 'dbg_dump_budg()' calling convention is that the 'c->space_lock' spinlock is held. However, none of the callers actually use it from contects which have 'c->space_lock' locked, so all callers have to explicitely lock and unlock the spinlock. This is not very sensible convention. This patch changes it and makes 'dbg_dump_budg()' lock the spinlock instead of imposing this to the callers. This simplifies the code a little.

2011-03-11UBIFS: handle allocation failures in UBIFS write pathMatthew L. Creech
Running kernel 2.6.37, my PPC-based device occasionally gets an order-2 allocation failure in UBIFS, which causes the root FS to become unwritable: kswapd0: page allocation failure. order:2, mode:0x4050 Call Trace: [c787dc30] [c00085b8] show_stack+0x7c/0x194 (unreliable) [c787dc70] [c0061aec] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x4f0/0x57c [c787dd00] [c0061b98] __get_free_pages+0x20/0x50 [c787dd10] [c00e4f88] ubifs_jnl_write_data+0x54/0x200 [c787dd50] [c00e82d4] do_writepage+0x94/0x198 [c787dd90] [c00675e4] shrink_page_list+0x40c/0x77c [c787de40] [c0067de0] shrink_inactive_list+0x1e0/0x370 [c787de90] [c0068224] shrink_zone+0x2b4/0x2b8 [c787df00] [c0068854] kswapd+0x408/0x5d4 [c787dfb0] [c0037bcc] kthread+0x80/0x84 [c787dff0] [c000ef44] kernel_thread+0x4c/0x68 Similar problems were encountered last April by Tomasz Stanislawski: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/50965/ This patch implements Artem's suggested fix: fall back to a mutex-protected static buffer, allocated at mount time. I tested it by forcing execution down the failure path, and didn't see any ill effects. Artem: massaged the patch a little, improved it so that we'd not allocate the write reserve buffer when we are in R/O mode. Signed-off-by: Matthew L.

2010-09-19UBIFS: introduce new flags for RO mountsArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 2fde99cb55fb9d9b88180512a5e8a5d939d27fec "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too" introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts. However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O). This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'. This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write anything if the FS was mounter R/O. All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

2010-09-17UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errorsArtem Bityutskiy
The R/O state may have various reasons: 1. The UBI volume is R/O 2. The FS is mounted R/O 3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases 1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens. But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media is R/O, our message is bogus. This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks. In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more changes - it fixes the error messages as well. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2008-08-14UBIFS: xattr bugfixesArtem Bityutskiy
Xattr code has not been tested for a while and there were serveral bugs. One of them is using wrong inode in 'ubifs_jnl_change_xattr()'. The other is a deadlock in 'ubifs_setxattr()': the i_mutex is locked in 'cap_inode_need_killpriv()' path, so deadlock happens when 'ubifs_setxattr()' tries to lock it again.

2008-08-13UBIFS: optimize deletionsArtem Bityutskiy
Every time anything is deleted, UBIFS writes the deletion inode node twice - once in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' and the second time in 'ubifs_jnl_write_inode()'. However, the second write is not needed if no commit happened after 'ubifs_jnl_update()'. This patch checks that condition and avoids writing the deletion inode for the second time.
