* vfs,proc: guarantee unique inodes in /procLinus Torvalds2013-03-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Jones found another /proc issue with his Trinity tool: thanks to the namespace model, we can have multiple /proc dentries that point to the same inode, aliasing directories in /proc/<pid>/net/ for example. This ends up being a total disaster, because it acts like hardlinked directories, and causes locking problems. We rely on the topological sort of the inodes pointed to by dentries, and if we have aliased directories, that odering becomes unreliable. In short: don't do this. Multiple dentries with the same (directory) inode is just a bad idea, and the namespace code should never have exposed things this way. But we're kind of stuck with it. This solves things by just always allocating a new inode during /proc dentry lookup, instead of using "iget_locked()" to look up existing inodes by superblock and number. That actually simplies the code a bit, at the cost of potentially doing more inode [de]allocations. That said, the inode lookup wasn't free either (and did a lot of locking of inodes), so it is probably not that noticeable. We could easily keep the old lookup model for non-directory entries, but rather than try to be excessively clever this just implements the minimal and simplest workaround for the problem.

| * cifs: ignore everything in SPNEGO blob after mechTypesJeff Layton2013-03-211-48/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had several reports of people attempting to mount Windows 8 shares and getting failures with a return code of -EINVAL. The default sec= mode changed recently to sec=ntlmssp. With that, we expect and parse a SPNEGO blob from the server in the NEGOTIATE reply. The current decode_negTokenInit function first parses all of the mechTypes and then tries to parse the rest of the negTokenInit reply. The parser however currently expects a mechListMIC or nothing to follow the mechTypes, but Windows 8 puts a mechToken field there instead to carry some info for the new NegoEx stuff. In practice, we don't do anything with the fields after the mechTypes anyway so I don't see any real benefit in continuing to parse them. This patch just has the kernel ignore the fields after the mechTypes. We'll probably need to reinstate some of this if we ever want to support NegoEx.

Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in this case.

| * | ext4: fix ext4_evict_inode() racing against workqueue processing codeTheodore Ts'o2013-03-203-4/+14

The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(), this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the inode by commit 84c17543ab56, is actually finished. Once ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1 accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of work to do. Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown() until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and flushed from the page cache first.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when converting extent to initialized, we have to decide whether to zeroout part/all of the uninitialized extent in order to avoid extent tree growing rapidly. The decision is made by comparing the size of the extent with the configurable value s_extent_max_zeroout_kb which is in kibibytes units. However when converting it to number of blocks we currently use it as it was in bytes. This is obviously bug and it will result in ext4 _never_ zeroout extents, but rather always split and convert parts to initialized while leaving the rest uninitialized in default setting.

However this also means that if the number of reserved data block dropped to zero before the correction, we would release all the metadata reservation as well, however we might still need it because the we're not done with the delayed allocation and there might be more blocks to come. This will result in error messages such as: EXT4-fs warning (device sdb): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:361: ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1 blocks with reserved 1 data blocks) This will only happen on bigalloc file system and it can be easily reproduced using fiemap-tester from xfstests like this: ./src/fiemap-tester -m DHDHDHDHD -S -p0 /mnt/test/file Or using xfstests such as 225.

This incorrect assumption was harmless until we started use status tree as a extent cache because we need to update status tree according to 'm_len' value. Meanwhile this commit marks EXT4_MAP_MAPPED flag after unwritten extent conversion. It shouldn't cause a bug because we update status tree according to checking EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN flag. But it should be fixed. After applied this commit, the following error message from self-testing infrastructure disappears. ... kernel: ES len assertation failed for inode: 230 retval 1 != map->m_len 3 in ext4_map_blocks (allocation) ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Derived from Jan's patch:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/36470 Merging of uninitialized extents creates all sorts of interesting race possibilities when writeback / DIO races with fallocate. Thus ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() has to deal with a case where extent to be converted needs to be split out first. That isn't nice for two reasons: 1) It may need allocation of extent tree block so ENOSPC is possible. 2) It complicates end_io handling code So we disable merging of uninitialized extents which allows us to simplify the code. Extents will get merged after they are converted to initialized ones.

The example of problematic behavior is: lblk len lblk len ext4_split_extent() (ex=[1000,30,uninit], map=[1010,10]) ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,uninit] at 1020) ext4_ext_insert_extent() -> ENOSPC ext4_ext_zeroout() -> extent [1000,30] is now initialized ext4_split_extent_at() (split [1000,30,init] at 1010, MARK_UNINIT1 | MARK_UNINIT2) -> extent is split and parts marked as uninitialized Fix the problem by rechecking extent type after the first ext4_split_extent_at() returns. None of split_flags can not be applied to initialized extent so this patch also add BUG_ON to prevent similar issues in future.

The story is that a) when we're going to drop an extent map and may split this large one into smaller ems, and if this large one is flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING which means that it's on the list to be logged, then the smaller ems split from it will also be flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, and this is _not_ expected. b) we'll keep ems from unlinking the list and freeing when they are flagged with EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, because the log code holds one reference. The end result is the warning, but the truth is that we set the flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING only during fsync. So clear flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING for extent maps split from a large one.

That happens because freeing of xattr block dirtied the inode and it happened after clear_inode() has been called. Fix the issue by moving removal of xattr block into ext2_evict_inode() before clear_inode() call close to a place where data blocks are truncated. That is also more logical place and removes surprising requirement that ext2_free_blocks() mustn't dirty the inode.

The same difference seems to appear when we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev(). This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact, there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel, and they both seem to get it wrong: Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb() also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to be missing. Same situation for security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov(). I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it, and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat. While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values. And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error handling.
