2009-05-11nilfs2: fix possible circular locking for get information ioctlsRyusuke Konishi
This is one of two patches which are to correct possible circular locking between mm->mmap_sem and nilfs->ns_segctor_sem. The problem was detected by lockdep check as follows: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 ------------------------------------------------------- mmap/5418 is trying to acquire lock: (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}, at: [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] but task is already holding lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<c01470a5>] __lock_acquire+0x1066/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c01836bc>] might_fault+0x68/0x88 [<c023c730>] copy_to_user+0x2c/0xfc [<d0d11b4f>] nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy+0x103/0x160 [nilfs2] [<d0d11fa9>] nilfs_ioctl+0x30a/0x3b0 [nilfs2] [<c01a3be7>] vfs_ioctl+0x22/0x69 [<c01a408e>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x460/0x499 [<c01a4107>] sys_ioctl+0x40/0x5a [<c01031a4>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff -> #0 (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}: [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by mmap/5418: #0: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a stack backtrace: Pid: 5418, comm: mmap Not tainted 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 Call Trace: [<c0432145>] ? printk+0xf/0x12 [<c0145c48>] print_circular_bug_tail+0xaa/0xb5 [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<d0d10149>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0x1e/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c013b59a>] ? up_read+0x16/0x2c [<d0d10225>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0xfa/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043700a>] ? do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a [<c013b54f>] ? down_read_trylock+0x39/0x43 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a This makes the lock granularity of nilfs->ns_segctor_sem finer than that of the mmap semaphore for ioctl commands except nilfs_clean_segments().

2009-05-10nilfs2: ensure to clear dirty state when deleting metadata file blockRyusuke Konishi
This would fix the following failure during GC: nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints: cannot delete block NILFS: GC failed during preparation: cannot delete checkpoints: err=-2 The problem was caused by a break in state consistency between page cache and btree; the above block was removed from the btree but the page buffering the block was remaining in the page cache in dirty state. This resolves the inconsistency by ensuring to clear dirty state of the page buffering the deleted block.

2009-05-09nilfs2: fix possible recovery failure due to block creation without writerRyusuke Konishi
Some function calls in nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() may fail because they can create blocks on meta data files without configuring a writable FS-instance. Concretely, nilfs_mdt_create_block() routine of meta data files will fail in that case. This fixes the problem by temporarily attaching a writable FS-instace during the function is called.

2009-05-06inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positiveWu Fengguang
There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep. inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() => kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim => dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be quite involved. The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for the 2.6.30 release. Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31. I'll queue a patch in -mm to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.30-rc2-next-20090417 #203 --------------------------------- inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. kswapd0/380 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (&inode->inotify_mutex){+.+.?.}, at: [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff81079188>] mark_held_locks+0x68/0x90 [<ffffffff810792a5>] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xf5/0x100 [<ffffffff810f5261>] __kmalloc_node+0x31/0x1e0 [<ffffffff81130652>] kernel_event+0xe2/0x190 [<ffffffff81130826>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0x126/0x230 [<ffffffff8112f096>] inotify_inode_queue_event+0xc6/0x110 [<ffffffff8110444d>] vfs_create+0xcd/0x140 [<ffffffff8110825d>] do_filp_open+0x88d/0xa20 [<ffffffff810f6b68>] do_sys_open+0x98/0x140 [<ffffffff810f6c50>] sys_open+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff8100c272>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 690455 hardirqs last enabled at (690455): [<ffffffff81564fe4>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x44/0x80 hardirqs last disabled at (690454): [<ffffffff81565372>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x32/0xa0 softirqs last enabled at (690178): [<ffffffff81052282>] __do_softirq+0x202/0x220 softirqs last disabled at (690157): [<ffffffff8100d50c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x50 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by kswapd0/380: #0: (shrinker_rwsem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff810d0bd7>] shrink_slab+0x37/0x180 #1: (&type->s_umount_key#17){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff8110cfbf>] shrink_dcache_memory+0x11f/0x1e0 stack backtrace: Pid: 380, comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 2.6.30-rc2-next-20090417 #203 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810789ef>] print_usage_bug+0x19f/0x200 [<ffffffff81018bff>] ? save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x50 [<ffffffff81078f0b>] mark_lock+0x4bb/0x6d0 [<ffffffff810799e0>] ? check_usage_forwards+0x0/0xc0 [<ffffffff8107b142>] __lock_acquire+0xc62/0x1ae0 [<ffffffff810f478c>] ? slob_free+0x10c/0x370 [<ffffffff8107c0a1>] lock_acquire+0xe1/0x120 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff81562d43>] mutex_lock_nested+0x63/0x420 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff81012fe9>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff81077165>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0x35/0x1c0 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff8110c9dc>] dentry_iput+0xbc/0xe0 [<ffffffff8110cb23>] d_kill+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff8110ce23>] __shrink_dcache_sb+0x2d3/0x350 [<ffffffff8110cffa>] shrink_dcache_memory+0x15a/0x1e0 [<ffffffff810d0cc5>] shrink_slab+0x125/0x180 [<ffffffff810d1540>] kswapd+0x560/0x7a0 [<ffffffff810ce160>] ? isolate_pages_global+0x0/0x2c0 [<ffffffff81065a30>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff8107953d>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff810d0fe0>] ? kswapd+0x0/0x7a0 [<ffffffff8106555b>] kthread+0x5b/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100d40a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8100cdd0>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff81065500>] ? kthread+0x0/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100d400>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 [eparis@redhat.com: fix audit too] Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-05-04proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processesJake Edge
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps, only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR). These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well. The start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

2009-05-04[CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.cSteve French
The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged (75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security (e.g. with sec=krb5). Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet, "raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it offers more complete security negotiation, and is the default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems. SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same code. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general, possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS). The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't make underflow issue.

2009-05-02alpha: binfmt_aout fixIvan Kokshaysky
This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.

2009-05-02mm: close page_mkwrite racesNick Piggin
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-05-01cifs: fix length handling in cifs_get_name_from_search_bufJeff Layton
The earlier patch to move this code to use the new unicode helpers assumed that the filename strings would be null terminated. That's not always the case. Instead of passing "max_len" to the string converter, pass "min(len, max_len)", which makes it do the right thing while still keeping the parser confined to the response. Also fix up the prototypes of this function and the callers so that max_len is unsigned (like len is). Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2009-04-30ocfs2: Fix a missing credit when deleting from indexed directories.Joel Becker
The ocfs2 directory index updates two blocks when we remove an entry - the dx root and the dx leaf. OCFS2_DELETE_INODE_CREDITS was only accounting for the dx leaf. This shows up when ocfs2_delete_inode() runs out of credits in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() at "J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);". The test that caught this was running dirop_file_racer from the ocfs2-test suite with a 250-character filename PREFIX. Run on a 512B blocksize, it forces the orphan dir index to grow large enough to trigger. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2009-04-30[CIFS] Remove older session setup implementationSteve French
Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so (which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed. Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c, and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c now can be removed. This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5 patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to be done first. Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now. It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with changes since Windows 2003.

2009-04-30xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlockChristoph Hellwig
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap. This has been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also shown up via lockdep. So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures into and then copy them out after dropping the locks. A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way around that.
