2007-09-11Leases can be hidden by flocksPavel Emelyanov
The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases. Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head of this list. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Acked-by: "J.

2007-09-11Fix select on /proc files without ->pollAlexey Dobriyan
Taneli Vähäkangas <vahakang@cs.helsinki.fi> reported that commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba aka "Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries" broke SBCL + SLIME combo. The old code in do_select() used DEFAULT_POLLMASK, if couldn't find ->poll handler. The new code makes ->poll always there and returns 0 by default, which is not correct. Return DEFAULT_POLLMASK instead. Steps to reproduce: install emacs, SBCL, SLIME emacs M-x slime in *inferior-lisp* buffer [watch it doing "Connecting to Swank on port X.."] Please, apply before 2.6.23. P.S.: why SBCL can't just read(2) /proc/cpuinfo is a mystery.

2007-09-11[PATCH] ocfs2: Fix a wrong cluster calculation.tao.ma@oracle.com
In ocfs2_alloc_write_write_ctxt, the written clusters length is calculated by the byte length only. This may cause some problems if we start to write at some position in the end of one cluster and last to a second cluster while the "len" is smaller than a cluster size. In that case, we have to write 2 clusters actually. So we have to take the start position into consideration also.

2007-09-11[PATCH] ocfs2: fix mount option parsingTiger Yang
For some mount option types, ocfs2_parse_options() will try to access sb->s_fs_info to get at the ocfs2 private superblock. Unfortunately, that hasn't been allocated yet and will cause a kernel crash. Fix this by storing options in a struct which can then get pushed into the ocfs2_super once it's been allocated later. If we need more options which store to the ocfs2_super in the future, we can just fields to this struct.

2007-09-05[XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bugEric Sandeen
This git mod: 77e4635ae191774526ed695482a151ac986f3806 converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements) xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been there for almost a year.

2007-09-02[JFFS2] fix write deadlock regressionJason Lunz
I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e1e5b6fa9e5c59aa5061f244fe3f467e2 Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem?

2007-09-01NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()Trond Myklebust
Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.

2007-08-31NFS: Fix the mount regressionTrond Myklebust
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

2007-08-31hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappingsDavid Gibson
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to be aligned to the size of a hugepage. In commit 68589bc353037f233fe510ad9ff432338c95db66, the check for this was moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks. But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to commit 4b1d89290b62bb2db476c94c82cf7442aab440c8, prepare_hugepage_range() is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc and i386 at least. This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range() and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there, rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

2007-08-23sched: accounting regression since rc1Christian Borntraeger
Fix the accounting regression for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. It reverts parts of commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa by converting fs/proc/array.c back to cputime_t. The new functions task_utime and task_stime now return cputime_t instead of clock_t. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING is set, task->utime and task->stime are returned directly instead of using sum_exec_runtime. Patch is tested on s390x with and without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING as well as on i386.

2007-08-22exec: kill unsafe BUG_ON(sig->count) checksOleg Nesterov
de_thread: if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1) BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1); This is not safe without the rmb() in between. The results of two correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen out of order on our CPU. The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count). On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy. Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) ); Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.

2007-08-22autofs4: deadlock during createIan Kent
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter. The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon as it can't know whether it owns the mutex. This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory. After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

2007-08-22signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers schedulingOleg Nesterov
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd, even if it was created by another sub-thread. To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the previous patch. If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

2007-08-22eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special filesRyusuke Konishi
When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs files. Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000] Error opening lower_file to read header region Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95] Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below. # mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt # mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0 # umount /mnt/crypt # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt # ls -l /mnt/crypt This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and symlinks.

2007-08-22sysfs: don't warn on removal of a nonexistent binary fileAlan Stern
This patch (as960) removes the error message and stack dump logged by sysfs_remove_bin_file() when someone tries to remove a nonexistent file. The warning doesn't seem to be needed, since none of the other file-, symlink-, or directory-removal routines in sysfs complain in a comparable way.

2007-08-20dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manuallyZach Brown
This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero. It passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on ext3. This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit: 6a648fa72161d1f6468dabd96c5d3c0db04f598a It makes the code a bit smaller. Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to load, if we're lucky: text data bss dec hex filename 3285925 568506 1304616 5159047 4eb887 vmlinux 3285797 568506 1304616 5158919 4eb807 vmlinux.patched I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads at ~340MB/s. So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like .map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the code.
