2007-11-29fix up ext2_fs.h for userspace after reservations backportTobias Poschwatta
In commit a686cd898bd999fd026a51e90fb0a3410d258ddb: "Val's cross-port of the ext3 reservations code into ext2." include/linux/ext2_fs.h got a new function whose return value is only defined if __KERNEL__ is defined. Putting #ifdef __KERNEL__ around the function seems to help, patch below.

2007-11-29proc: remove races from proc_id_readdir()Eric W. Biederman
Oleg noticed that the call of task_pid_nr_ns() in proc_pid_readdir is racy with respect to tasks exiting. After a bit of examination it also appears that the call itself is completely unnecessary. So to fix the problem this patch modifies next_tgid() to return both a tgid and the task struct in question. A structure is introduced to return these values because it is slightly cleaner and easier to optimize, and the resulting code is a little shorter. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2007-11-29proc: fix NULL ->i_fop oopsAlexey Dobriyan
proc_kill_inodes() can clear ->i_fop in the middle of vfs_readdir resulting in NULL dereference during "file->f_op->readdir(file, buf, filler)". The solution is to remove proc_kill_inodes() completely: a) we don't have tricky modules implementing their tricky readdir hooks which could keeping this revoke from hell. b) In a situation when module is gone but PDE still alive, standard readdir will return only "." and "..", because pde->next was cleared by remove_proc_entry(). c) the race proc_kill_inode() destined to prevent is not completely fixed, just race window made smaller, because vfs_readdir() is run without sb_lock held and without file_list_lock held. Effectively, ->i_fop is cleared at random moment, which can't fix properly anything.

I found that there is a off-by-one problem in the following code. Version: 2.6.24-rc2 File: fs/sysfs/file.c:118-122 Function: fill_read_buffer -------------------------------------------------------------------- count = ops->show(kobj, attr_sd->s_attr.attr, buffer->page); sysfs_put_active_two(attr_sd); BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE); -------------------------------------------------------------------- Because according to the specification of the sysfs and the implement of the show methods, the show methods return the number of bytes which would be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing null.So if the return value of the show methods equals PAGE_SIZE - 1, the buffer is full in fact. And if the return value equals PAGE_SIZE, the resulting string was already truncated,or buffer overflow occurred. This patch fixes an off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer.

The existing bug statement didn't take into account unhashed dentries which might not have a cluster lock on them. This could happen if a node exporting the file system via NFS is rebooted, re-exported to nfs clients and then unmounted. It's fine in this case to not have a dentry cluster lock. Just remove the bug statement and replace it with an error print, which does the proper checks. Though we want to know if something has happened which might have prevented a cluster lock from being created, it's definitely not necessary to panic the machine for this.

2007-11-20[CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pagesJeff Layton
Fix RedHat bug 329431 The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes. Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or due to memory pressure. Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush, there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing out pages. This can lead to data corruption. The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls filemap_write_and_wait, which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out. Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the original. CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close. Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush operation. This patch does the following: 1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc. 2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them. 3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for ATTR_SIZE changes. 4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC errors when writing out pages. Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

2007-11-17kernel BUG at fs/nfs/namespace.c:108! - can be triggered by bad serverNeil Brown
Hi Trond, I have discovered that the BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint: BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)); can be triggered by a misbehaving server. What happens is the client does a lookup and discoveres that the named directory has a different fsid, so it initiates a mount. It then performs a GETATTR on the mounted directory and gets a different fsid again (due to a bug in the NFS server). This causes nfs_follow_mountpoint to be called on the newly mounted root, which triggers the BUG_ON. To duplicate this, have a directory which contains some mountpoints, and export that directory with the "crossmnt" flag using nfs-utils 1.1.1 (or 1.1.0 I think) The GETATTR on the root of the mounted filesystem will return the information for the top exportpoint, while a lookup will return the correct information. This difference causes the NFS client to BUG. I think the best way to fix this is to trap this possibility early, so just before completing the mount in the NFS client, check that it isn't going to use nfs_mountpoint_inode_operations. As long as i_op will never change once set (is that true?), this should be adequately safe. The following patch shows a possible approach, and it works for me. i.e. when the NFS server is misbehaving, I get ESTALE on those mountpoints, while when the NFS server is working correctly, I get correct behaviour on the client.

2007-11-14mark sys_open/sys_read exports unusedArjan van de Ven
sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way. Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some time.... however with commit c2b1239a9f22f19c53543b460b24507d0e21ea0c the last user is now gone. This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader, filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security issue. The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.

2007-11-14proc: simplify and correct proc_flush_taskEric W. Biederman
Currently we special case when we have only the initial pid namespace. Unfortunately in doing so the copied case for the other namespaces was broken so we don't properly flush the thread directories :( So this patch removes the unnecessary special case (removing a usage of proc_mnt) and corrects the flushing of the thread directories.

2007-11-14reiserfs: don't drop PG_dirty when releasing sub-page-sized dirty fileFengguang Wu
This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the same way. Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time. They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync' commands. Only `umount' can do the trick. The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.

2007-11-14Fixes to the BFS filesystem driverDmitri Vorobiev
I found a few bugs in the BFS driver. Detailed description of the bugs as well as the steps to reproduce the errors are given in the kernel bugzilla. Please follow these links for more information: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9363 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9364 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9366 This patch fixes the bugs described above. Besides, the patch introduces coding style changes to make the BFS driver conform to the requirements specified for Linux kernel code. Finally, I made a few cosmetic changes such as removal of trivial debug output. Also, the patch removes the fields `si_lf_ioff' and `si_lf_sblk' of the in-core superblock structure. These fields are initialized but never actually used. If you are wondering why I need BFS, here is the answer: I am using this driver in the context of Linux kernel classes I am teaching in the Moscow State University and in the International Institute of Information Technology in Pune, India.

2007-11-14hugetlb: fix quota management for private mappingsAdam Litke
The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE mappings when that support was added. Currently, quota is debited at page instantiation and credited at file truncation. This approach works correctly for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages. In addition to hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but this function does not respect quotas. Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages. They are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's radix tree. This means that private pages are invisible to truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota. This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting for all pages into free_huge_page(). page->private is used to store a pointer to the mapping to which this page belongs. This is used to credit quota on the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.

2007-11-14Forbid user to change file flags on quota filesJan Kara
Forbid user from changing file flags on quota files. User has no bussiness in playing with these flags when quota is on. Furthermore there is a remote possibility of deadlock due to a lock inversion between quota file's i_mutex and transaction's start (i_mutex for quota file is locked only when trasaction is started in quota operations) in ext3 and ext4.

request In SendReceive() function in transport.c - it memcpy's message payload into a buffer passed via out_buf param.
