2009-10-16dm snapshot: lock snapshot while supplying statusMikulas Patocka
This patch locks the snapshot when returning status. It fixes a race when it could return an invalid number of free chunks if someone was simultaneously modifying it. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

2009-10-16dm snapshot: require non zero chunk size by end of ctrMikulas Patocka
If we are creating snapshot with memory-stored exception store, fail if the user didn't specify chunk size. Zero chunk size would probably crash a lot of places in the rest of snapshot code.

2009-10-16dm: dec_pending needs locking to save error valueKiyoshi Ueda
Multiple instances of dec_pending() can run concurrently so a lock is needed when it saves the first error code. I have never experienced actual problem without locking and just found this during code inspection while implementing the barrier support patch for request-based dm. This patch adds the locking. I've done compile, boot and basic I/O testings.

2009-10-16dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix raceMikulas Patocka
Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk size, largest first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659 For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots: snapshot1: ====A==== ====B==== snapshot2: ==========C========== (Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.) A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them together using A as the 'primary' exception. Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done to it: B and C are not linked. If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2. To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above - both A and B now get linked to C.

2009-10-15KEYS: get_instantiation_keyring() should inc the keyring refcount in all casesDavid Howells
The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by /sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as the dest_keyring member. keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring() to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount. The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to show up as the key is destroyed lazily. To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from. This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to: #OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... #====== ======= =============== =============== =============================== create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display} negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u and then doing: keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u && keyctl list @u; do keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u; sleep 31; keyctl list @u; done which will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than %S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.

2009-10-14OMAP: Fix race condition with autodepsKalle Jokiniemi
There is a possible race condition in clockdomain code handling hw supported idle transitions. When multiple autodeps dependencies are being added or removed, a transition of still remaining dependent powerdomain can result in false readings of the state counter. This is especially fatal for off mode state counter, as it could result in a driver not noticing a context loss. Fixed by disabling hw supported state transitions when autodeps are being changed.

2009-10-14sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.Neil Brown
sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute. Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with interrupts enabled. So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts, thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout). sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq. Other places use spin_lock_irqsave. The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more recent kernels.

2009-10-14tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flushLinus Torvalds
This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues, and we thus have a single point of serialization. It also means that we can avoid calling flush_to_ldisc() entirely if there was no delayed work pending. [ Side note: using workqueues and keventd as the single way to enter flush_to_ldisc() still doesn't absolutely guarantee that we can't have concurrency: keventd is multithreaded and has a thread per CPU, and while the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bit guarantees a single work only being on the pending list once, the work might be both pending and _running_ at the same time. Workqueues are not simple. ] This was also confirmed to fix bugzilla #14388, even without the earlier locking fix and cleanup (commit c8e331419: "tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust"). So both commits fix the same bug differently, and either would have worked on its own. But I'm committing them both since they are cleanups independent of each other.
