2008-03-19ext3: fix wrong gfp type under transactionJosef Bacik
There are several places where we make allocations with GFP_KERNEL while under a transaction, which could lead to an assertion panic or lockup if under memory pressure. This patch switches these problem areas to use GFP_NOFS to keep these problems from happening.

2008-03-19aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

2008-03-19nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_requestFred Isaman
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks. The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request Signed-off-by: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-03-19[PATCH] get stack footprint of pathname resolution back to relative sanityAl Viro
Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk(). Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with: * It's in the middle of recursion. Depth is equal to the nesting depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8. * struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk, at least 12 pointers + 5 ints. * moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation. * there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have stack footprint. * kernel stack is not infinite. The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

2008-03-19[PATCH] reiserfs: eliminate private use of struct file in xattrJeff Mahoney
After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the reiserfs xattr code. As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it. reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa02839bf9412e18e77 ("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by failure of a kmalloc(). After that commit it could be triggered by a client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export marked "secure". (Exports are "secure" by default.) The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low, resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed. The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will clean up fh_verify(). Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup. Signed-off-by: J.

2008-03-14[CIFS] file create with acl support enabled is slowSteve French
Shirish Pargaonkar noted: With cifsacl mount option, when a file is created on the Windows server, exclusive oplock is broken right away because the get cifs acl code again opens the file to obtain security descriptor. The client does not have the newly created file handle or inode in any of its lists yet so it does not respond to oplock break and server waits for its duration and then responds to the second open. This slows down file creation signficantly. The fix is to pass the file descriptor to the get cifsacl code wherever available so that get cifs acl code does not send second open (NT Create ANDX) and oplock is not broken.

However, there are times when the master node has to free the locks for the remote nodes forcibly. Two cases when this happens are: 1. When the master has migrated the lockres plus all locks to another node. 2. When the master is clearing all the locks of a dead node.

2008-03-07[NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)Pavel Emelyanov
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed. The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any other namespace, depending on who opened the file first. The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the appropriate task lives in. # ls -l /proc/net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.

To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.

2008-03-06[XFS] fix inode leak in xfs_iget_core()David Chinner
If the radix_tree_preload() fails, we need to destroy the inode we just read in before trying again. This could leak xfs_vnode structures when there is memory pressure. Noticed by Christoph Hellwig.

wakeups Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not. Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle state and set the timeout appropriately.
