2009-07-06sys_sync(): fix 16% performance regression in ffsb create_4k testZhang, Yanmin
I run many ffsb test cases on JBODs (typically 13/12 disks). Comparing with kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1 has about 16% regression with ffsb_create_4k. The sub test case creates files continuously for 10 minitues and every file is 1MB. Bisect located below patch. 5cee5815d1564bbbd505fea86f4550f1efdb5cd0 is first bad commit commit 5cee5815d1564bbbd505fea86f4550f1efdb5cd0 Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Mon Apr 27 16:43:51 2009 +0200 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4) It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result. vmstat shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time. With 2.6.30, ffsb is blocked for a short time. I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods. Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O. wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the same time.

2009-07-03NFSD: Don't hold unrefcounted creds over call to nfsd_setuser()David Howells
nfsd_open() gets an unrefcounted pointer to the current process's effective credentials at the top of the function, then calls nfsd_setuser() via fh_verify() - which may replace and destroy the current process's effective credentials - and then passes the unrefcounted pointer to dentry_open() - but the credentials may have been destroyed by this point. Instead, the value from current_cred() should be passed directly to dentry_open() as one of its arguments, rather than being cached in a variable. Possibly fh_verify() should return the creds to use. This is a regression introduced by 745ca2475a6ac596e3d8d37c2759c0fbe2586227 "CRED: Pass credentials through dentry_open()".

2009-07-02Btrfs: update backrefs while dropping snapshotYan Zheng
The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item. If a tree block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for general use. This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot. It isn't a problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for general snapshot deletion this update is required.

2009-07-02Btrfs: account for space we may use in fallocateJosef Bacik
Using Eric Sandeen's xfstest for fallocate, you can easily trigger a ENOSPC panic on btrfs. This is because we do not account for data we may use when doing the fallocate. This patch fixes the problem by properly reserving space, and then just freeing it when we are done. The reservation stuff was made with delalloc in mind, so its a little crude for this case, but it keeps the box from panicing.

2009-06-30ext2: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inodeBryan Donlan
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

2009-06-30elf: limit max map count to safe valueKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used vmas are added. When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows. == ... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...) if (failed) abort(); == This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma(). I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good for avoiding unexpected corrupted core. Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

2009-06-30fuse: invalidation reverse callsJohn Muir
Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS caches. Two notifications are added: 1) inode invalidation - invalidate cached attributes - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional) 2) dentry invalidation - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

Jeff's previous patch which removed the unneeded rw/ro parsing can cause a minor warning in dmesg (about the unknown rw or ro mount option) at mount time.

2009-06-25cifs: Fix incorrect return code being printed in cFYI messagesSuresh Jayaraman
FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being printed when cifsFYI is enabled. This could be misleading in few cases. For eg. In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid(). Basically convert FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR; return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid); return rc; [Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems like a good longer term goal, but although there is an alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet available that I know of that we can use (yet) to convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for creating an identifier that we can use to correlate all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation (ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id is harder). Eventually when a replacement for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people use this run time configurable logging all the time for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem which made it harder to notice some low memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile to fix this problem until a better logging approach is able to be used] Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

reiserfs uses NULL as "unknown" and ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) as "no ACL"; several codepaths store the former instead of the latter. All those codepaths go through iset_acl() and all cases when it's called with NULL acl are for the second variety, so the minimal fix is to teach iset_acl() to deal with that. Proper fix is to switch to more usual conventions and avoid back and forth between internally used ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) and NULL expected by the rest of the kernel.
