2009-04-24check_unsafe_exec: s/lock_task_sighand/rcu_read_lock/Oleg Nesterov
write_lock(&current->fs->lock) guarantees we can't wrongly miss LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, this is what we care about. Use rcu_read_lock() instead of ->siglock to iterate over the sub-threads. We must see all CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_FS threads which didn't pass exit_fs(), it takes fs->lock too. With or without this patch we can miss the freshly cloned thread and set LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, we don't care.

2009-04-24do_execve() must not clear fs->in_exec if it was set by another threadOleg Nesterov
If do_execve() fails after check_unsafe_exec(), it clears fs->in_exec unconditionally. This is wrong if we race with our sub-thread which also does do_execve: Two threads T1 and T2 and another process P, all share the same ->fs. T1 starts do_execve(BAD_FILE). It calls check_unsafe_exec(), since ->fs is shared, we set LSM_UNSAFE but not ->in_exec. P exits and decrements fs->users. T2 starts do_execve(), calls check_unsafe_exec(), now ->fs is not shared, we set fs->in_exec. T1 continues, open_exec(BAD_FILE) fails, we clear ->in_exec and return to the user-space. T1 does clone(CLONE_FS /* without CLONE_THREAD */). T2 continues without LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE while ->fs is shared with another process. Change check_unsafe_exec() to return res = 1 if we set ->in_exec, and change do_execve() to clear ->in_exec depending on res. When do_execve() suceeds, it is safe to clear ->in_exec unconditionally. It can be set only if we don't share ->fs with another process, and since we already killed all sub-threads either ->in_exec == 0 or we are the only user of this ->fs. Also, we do not need fs->lock to clear fs->in_exec.

2009-04-23ocfs2: Add missing iput() during error handling in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()Sunil Mushran
In ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock(), if unable to get the dentry lock, we need to call iput(inode) because a failure here means no d_instantiate(), which means the normally matching iput() will not be called during dput(dentry). This patch fixes the oops that accompanies the following message: (3996,1):dlm_empty_lockres:2708 ERROR: lockres W00000000000000000a1046b06a4382 still has local locks! kernel BUG in dlm_empty_lockres at /rpmbuild/smushran/BUILD/ocfs2-1.4.2/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c:2709!

2009-04-23[S390] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpusMartin Schwidefsky
The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a sleeping cpu without waking the cpu. The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring idle cpu.

2009-04-23GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updatedSteven Whitehouse
GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the search start position for future block allocations (in fact there are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they are set to identical locations in GFS2). In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free space during block allocation.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: Larger buffer for encrypted symlink targetsTyler Hicks
When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet. This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't encrypted. Users were reporting these messages in their syslog: [ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real packet size is [51] [ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag 70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink(). That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted, could end up being smaller than bufsize. To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled. Any necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: Fix data corruption when using ecryptfs_passthroughTyler Hicks
ecryptfs_passthrough is a mount option that allows eCryptfs to allow data to be written to non-eCryptfs files in the lower filesystem. The passthrough option was causing data corruption due to it not always being treated as a non-eCryptfs file. The first 8 bytes of an eCryptfs file contains the decrypted file size. This value was being written to the non-eCryptfs files, too. Also, extra 0x00 characters were being written to make the file size a multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: Print FNEK sig properly in /proc/mountsTyler Hicks
The filename encryption key signature is not properly displayed in /proc/mounts.

2009-04-22eCryptfs: NULL pointer dereference in ecryptfs_send_miscdev()Tyler Hicks
If data is NULL, msg_ctx->msg is set to NULL and then dereferenced afterwards. ecryptfs_send_raw_message() is the only place that ecryptfs_send_miscdev() is called with data being NULL, but the only caller of that function (ecryptfs_process_helo()) is never called. In short, there is currently no way to trigger the NULL pointer dereference. This patch removes the two unused functions and modifies ecryptfs_send_miscdev() to remove the NULL dereferences.

2009-04-22bio: fix bio_kmalloc()Tejun Heo
Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways. * bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs. * bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity data. This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as inline bvecs. * bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was allocated anyway. * Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets there. * Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how they're used is more clear.

2009-04-21Btrfs: fix btrfs fallocate oops and deadlockChris Mason
Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held on the extent_io tree for the file, which could deadlock. Strictly speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better to move the transaction outside of the lock. When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was being called on an unlocked buffer. This was triggering an assertion and oops because the lock is supposed to be held. The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had been run. btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case.

2009-04-20Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsdDavid Woodhouse
Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the directory. This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit 14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex. While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno. And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM. Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about __cold__. Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery code") introduced a similar problem with calling lookup_one_len() without i_mutex, which this patch also addresses. To fix that, it was necessary to fix the called functions so that they expect i_mutex to be held; that part was done by J. Bruce Fields.

2009-04-20Btrfs: fix oops on page->mapping->host during writepageChris Mason
The extent_io writepage call updates the writepage index in the inode as it makes progress. But, it was doing the update after unlocking the page, which isn't legal because page->mapping can't be trusted once the page is unlocked. This lead to an oops, especially common with compression turned on. The fix here is to update the writeback index before unlocking the page. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpersChris Mason
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it from being fully effective. There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second, the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO. But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay the higher priority IO. This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list. The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data or metadata integrity. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writesChris Mason
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for other latency critical writes. Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done, and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe. This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

2009-04-19Don't set relatime when noatime is specifiedAndi Kleen
Since commit 0a1c01c9477602ee8b44548a9405b2c1d587b5a2 ("Make relatime default") when a file system is mounted explicitely with noatime it gets both the MNT_RELATIME and MNT_NOATIME bits set. This shows up like this in /proc/mounts: /dev/xxx /yyy ext3 rw,noatime,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0 That looks strange. The VFS uses noatime in this case, but both flags are set. So it's more a cosmetic issue, but still better to fix. Cc: mjg@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
