2008-10-17block: add partition attribute for partition numberTejun Heo
With extended devt, finding out the partition number becomes a bit more challenging as subtracting the minor number from that of the parent device doesn't work anymore. The only thing left is parsing the partition name which is brittle and not exactly universal (some have '-' between the device name and partition number while others don't). This patch introduced partition attribute which contains the partition number of the device. This should make finding partitions and its index easier. This problem and solution were suggested by H. Peter Anvin. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

This patchs adds the CONFIG_AIO option which allows to remove support for asynchronous I/O operations, that are not necessarly used by applications, particularly on embedded devices.

2008-10-16block: sanitize invalid partition table entriesKay Sievers
We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed. Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of: sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800 attempt to access beyond end of device Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk: Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes 1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801 /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk, and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 These warnings are printed to the kernel log: sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-16binfmt_elf_fdpic: convert initial stack alignment to arch_align_stack()Paul Mundt
binfmt_elf_fdpic seems to have grabbed a hard-coded hack from an ancient version of binfmt_elf in order to try and fix up initial stack alignment on multi-threaded x86, which while in addition to being unused, was also pushed down beyond the first set of operations on the stack pointer, negating the entire purpose. These days, we have an architecture independent arch_align_stack(), so we switch to using that instead. Move the initial alignment up before the initial stores while we're at it.

Given that AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE is unconditionally enlarged for us, and it's only optionally added in for the platforms that set ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, wire it up for binfmt_elf_fdpic, too.

2008-10-16hfsplus: fix Buffer overflow with a corrupted imageEric Sesterhenn
When an hfsplus image gets corrupted it might happen that the catalog namelength field gets b0rked. If we mount such an image the memcpy() in hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() writes more than the 255 that fit in the name field. Depending on the size of the overwritten data, we either only get memory corruption or also trigger an oops like this: [ 221.628020] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at c82b0000 [ 221.629066] IP: [<c022d4b1>] hfsplus_find_cat+0x10d/0x151 [ 221.629066] *pde = 0ea29163 *pte = 082b0160 [ 221.629066] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ 221.629066] Modules linked in: [ 221.629066] [ 221.629066] Pid: 4845, comm: mount Not tainted (2.6.27-rc4-00123-gd3ee1b4-dirty #28) [ 221.629066] EIP: 0060:[<c022d4b1>] EFLAGS: 00010206 CPU: 0 [ 221.629066] EIP is at hfsplus_find_cat+0x10d/0x151 [ 221.629066] EAX: 00000029 EBX: 00016210 ECX: 000042c2 EDX: 00000002 [ 221.629066] ESI: c82d70ca EDI: c82b0000 EBP: c82d1bcc ESP: c82d199c [ 221.629066] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 [ 221.629066] Process mount (pid: 4845, ti=c82d1000 task=c8224060 task.ti=c82d1000) [ 221.629066] Stack: c080b3c4 c82aa8f8 c82d19c2 00016210 c080b3be c82d1bd4 c82aa8f0 00000300 [ 221.629066] 01000000 750008b1 74006e00 74006900 65006c00 c82d6400 c013bd35 c8224060 [ 221.629066] 00000036 00000046 c82d19f0 00000082 c8224548 c8224060 00000036 c0d653cc [ 221.629066] Call Trace: [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c0107aa3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x82/0x96 [ 221.629066] [<c01302d2>] ? __kernel_text_address+0x1b/0x27 [ 221.629066] [<c010487a>] ? dump_trace+0xca/0xd6 [ 221.629066] [<c0109e32>] ? save_stack_address+0x0/0x2c [ 221.629066] [<c0109eaf>] ? save_stack_trace+0x1c/0x3a [ 221.629066] [<c013b571>] ? save_trace+0x37/0x8d [ 221.629066] [<c013b62e>] ? add_lock_to_list+0x67/0x8d [ 221.629066] [<c013ea1c>] ? validate_chain+0x8a4/0x9f4 [ 221.629066] [<c013553d>] ? down+0xc/0x2f [ 221.629066] [<c013f1f6>] ? __lock_acquire+0x68a/0x6e0 [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c0107aa3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x82/0x96 [ 221.629066] [<c013da5d>] ? mark_held_locks+0x43/0x5a [ 221.629066] [<c013dc3a>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c013dbf4>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf4/0x12f [ 221.629066] [<c06abec8>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x42/0x58 [ 221.629066] [<c013555c>] ? down+0x2b/0x2f [ 221.629066] [<c022aa68>] ? hfsplus_iget+0xa0/0x154 [ 221.629066] [<c022b0b9>] ? hfsplus_fill_super+0x280/0x447 [ 221.629066] [<c0107aa3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x82/0x96 [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013f1f6>] ? __lock_acquire+0x68a/0x6e0 [ 221.629066] [<c041c9e4>] ? string+0x2b/0x74 [ 221.629066] [<c041cd16>] ? vsnprintf+0x2e9/0x512 [ 221.629066] [<c010487a>] ? dump_trace+0xca/0xd6 [ 221.629066] [<c0109eaf>] ? save_stack_trace+0x1c/0x3a [ 221.629066] [<c0109eaf>] ? save_stack_trace+0x1c/0x3a [ 221.629066] [<c013b571>] ? save_trace+0x37/0x8d [ 221.629066] [<c013b62e>] ? add_lock_to_list+0x67/0x8d [ 221.629066] [<c013ea1c>] ? validate_chain+0x8a4/0x9f4 [ 221.629066] [<c01354d3>] ? up+0xc/0x2f [ 221.629066] [<c013f1f6>] ? __lock_acquire+0x68a/0x6e0 [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c013bca3>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x14/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c013bd35>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 221.629066] [<c0107aa3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x82/0x96 [ 221.629066] [<c041cfb7>] ? snprintf+0x1b/0x1d [ 221.629066] [<c01ba466>] ? disk_name+0x25/0x67 [ 221.629066] [<c0183960>] ? get_sb_bdev+0xcd/0x10b [ 221.629066] [<c016ad92>] ? kstrdup+0x2a/0x4c [ 221.629066] [<c022a7b3>] ? hfsplus_get_sb+0x13/0x15 [ 221.629066] [<c022ae39>] ? hfsplus_fill_super+0x0/0x447 [ 221.629066] [<c0183583>] ? vfs_kern_mount+0x3b/0x76 [ 221.629066] [<c0183602>] ? do_kern_mount+0x32/0xba [ 221.629066] [<c01960d4>] ? do_new_mount+0x46/0x74 [ 221.629066] [<c0196277>] ? do_mount+0x175/0x193 [ 221.629066] [<c013dbf4>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf4/0x12f [ 221.629066] [<c01663b2>] ? __get_free_pages+0x1e/0x24 [ 221.629066] [<c06ac07b>] ? lock_kernel+0x19/0x8c [ 221.629066] [<c01962e6>] ? sys_mount+0x51/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c01962f9>] ? sys_mount+0x64/0x9b [ 221.629066] [<c01038bd>] ? sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x31 [ 221.629066] ======================= [ 221.629066] Code: 89 c2 c1 e2 08 c1 e8 08 09 c2 8b 85 e8 fd ff ff 66 89 50 06 89 c7 53 83 c7 08 56 57 68 c4 b3 80 c0 e8 8c 5c ef ff 89 d9 c1 e9 02 <f3> a5 89 d9 83 e1 03 74 02 f3 a4 83 c3 06 8b 95 e8 fd ff ff 0f [ 221.629066] EIP: [<c022d4b1>] hfsplus_find_cat+0x10d/0x151 SS:ESP 0068:c82d199c [ 221.629066] ---[ end trace e417a1d67f0d0066 ]--- Since hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() returns void and only has one callsite, the check is performed at the callsite.

2008-10-16ext2: avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruptionEric Sandeen
A very large directory with many read failures (either due to storage problems, or due to invalid size & blocks from corruption) will generate a printk storm as the filesystem continues to try to read all the blocks. This flood of messages can tie up the box until it is complete - which may be a very long time, especially for very large corrupted values. This is fixed by only reporting the corruption once each time we try to read the directory.

2008-10-16ext2: fix ext2 block reservation early ENOSPC issueMingming Cao
We could run into ENOSPC error on ext2, even when there is free blocks on the filesystem. The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of "free_blocks < windowsz/2". Current code could fall back to non reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation window is turned off already, which is true in this case. This patch fixed two issues: 1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has 0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups. Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal block group, to get better locality. But if the goal blocks have 0 free blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely. 2) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off. The problem was originally found and fixed in ext4.

2008-10-16autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctlsIan Kent
Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount point that is possibly covered by another mount. The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of the mount trigger dentry. To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points. Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a description of the interface.

I've encountered this off-by-one error when tried to reuse gzip-header-parsing part of the decompress_exec() function.

2008-10-16sysfs: use ilookup5() instead of ilookup5_nowait()Tejun Heo
As inode creation is protected by sysfs_mutex, ilookup5_nowait() always either fails to find at all or finds one which is fully initialized, so using ilookup5_nowait() or ilookup5() doesn't make any difference. Switch to ilookup5() as it's planned to be removed. This change also makes lookup return value handling a bit simpler. This change was suggested by Al Viro.

Yes, it is a real bug by the looks. bin.c takes bb->mutex under mmap_sem when it is mmapped, and then does its copy_*_user under bb->mutex too. Here is a basic fix for the sysfs lor.

2008-10-16sysfs: Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_direntNeil Brown
Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex. This means that it cannot be called in atomic context. sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir) so it can block on low memory. In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I could be in the writeout path for freeing memory. So: - export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to notify on and hold it in an md structure. - split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).
