This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now.
It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the
right thing for the vDSO vma anyway. Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the
vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed. It handles the
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from
get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does.
This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from
the vDSO. I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out
that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV. It's cleaner
to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for
themselves.

In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not
doing a data-integrity sync, we used to just skip writing entirely,
since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock.
However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which
are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main
reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of
course!)

It's not pretty, but it appears that ext3 with data=journal will clean
pages without ever actually telling the VM that they are clean. This,
in turn, will result in the VM (and balance_dirty_pages() in particular)
to never realize that the pages got cleaned, and wait forever for an
event that already happened.
Technically, this seems to be a problem with ext3 itself, but it used to
be hidden by 'try_to_free_buffers()' noticing this situation on its own,
and just working around the filesystem problem.
This commit re-instates that hack, in order to avoid a regression for
the 2.6.20 release. This fixes bugzilla 7844:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7844
Peter Zijlstra points out that we should probably retain the debugging
code that this removes from cancel_dirty_page(), and I agree, but for
the imminent release we might as well just silence the warning too
(since it's not a new bug: anything that triggers that warning has been
around forever).

This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

lost at the boundary of bio's maximum sector or segment limits. After a
bio is full and got submitted. The outer while (nbytes) { ... } loop will
allocate a new bio and just march on to index into next page. It just
forgets about the page that bio_add_page() rejected when previous bio is

ocfs2 wasn't updating c/mtime on directories during dirent
creation/deletion. Fix ocfs2_unlink(), ocfs2_rename() and
__ocfs2_add_entry() by adding the proper code to update the struct inode and
push the change out to disk.
This helps rename/unlink on nfs exported file systems in particular as those
clients compare directory time values to avoid a full re-reading a directory
which hasn't changed.
ocfs2_rename() loses some superfluous error handling as a result of this

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.
Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:
ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().
So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.
I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.
The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:
static int return_EIO(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = bad_inode_create
...etc...
The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.
This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...
I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:
static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...
but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:
1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).
2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called
with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).
3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning
saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.
This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.
But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.
Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel. The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage. Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

Trevor found a file size problem in eCryptfs in recent kernels, and he
tracked it down to an fsstack change.
This was the eCryptfs copy_attr_all:
> -void ecryptfs_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src)
> -{
> - dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> - dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> - dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> - dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;
> - dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev;
> - dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> - dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> - dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> - dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> - dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;
> -}
This is the fsstack copy_attr_all:
> +void fsstack_copy_attr_all(struct inode *dest, const struct inode *src,
> + int (*get_nlinks)(struct inode *))
> +{
> + if (!get_nlinks)
> + dest->i_nlink = src->i_nlink;
> + else
> + dest->i_nlink = (*get_nlinks)(dest);
> +
> + dest->i_mode = src->i_mode;
> + dest->i_uid = src->i_uid;
> + dest->i_gid = src->i_gid;
> + dest->i_rdev = src->i_rdev;
> + dest->i_atime = src->i_atime;
> + dest->i_mtime = src->i_mtime;
> + dest->i_ctime = src->i_ctime;
> + dest->i_blkbits = src->i_blkbits;
> + dest->i_flags = src->i_flags;
> +
> + fsstack_copy_inode_size(dest, src);
> +}
The addition of copy_inode_size breaks eCryptfs, since eCryptfs needs to
interpolate the file sizes (eCryptfs has extra space in the lower file for
the header). The setting of the upper inode size occurs elsewhere in
eCryptfs, and the new copy_attr_all now undoes what eCryptfs was doing
right beforehand.
I see three ways of going forward from here. (1) Something like this patch
needs to go in (assuming it jives with Unionfs), (2) we need to make a
change to the fsstack API for more fine-grained control over copying
attributes (e.g., by also including a callback function for calculating the
right file size, which will require some more work on both eCryptfs and
Unionfs), or (3) the fsstack patch on eCryptfs (commit
0cc72dc7f050188d8d7344b1dd688cbc68d3cd30 made on Fri Dec 8 02:36:31 2006
-0800) needs to be yanked in 2.6.20.
I think the simplest solution, from eCryptfs' perspective, is to just
remove the inode size copy.
Remove inode size copy in general fsstack attr copy code. Stacked
filesystems may need to interpolate the inode size, since the file
size in the lower file may be different than the file size in the
stacked layer.
