fuse: fix retrieve length

2012-09-14T17:00:50Z

commit c9e67d483776d8d2a5f3f70491161b205930ffe1 upstream. In some cases fuse_retrieve() would return a short byte count if offset was non-zero. The data returned was correct, though. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ext3: Fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes

2012-09-14T17:00:50Z

commit 156bddd8e505b295540f3ca0e27dda68cb0d49aa upstream. Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash. Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is updated. Reported-by: Kristian Nielsen Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

udf: Fix data corruption for files in ICB

2012-09-14T17:00:50Z

commit 9c2fc0de1a6e638fe58c354a463f544f42a90a09 upstream. When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to new aops). Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page properly uptodate. Reported-by: Ian Abbott Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fix

2012-09-14T17:00:39Z

commit 676ce6d5ca3098339c028d44fe0427d1566a4d2d upstream. Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow") is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to __find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there. Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595: inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console, which pointed to this commit. I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7 itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between 18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2). (I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.) Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers() and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()), returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case. And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird" comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

NFSv4.1: Remove a bogus BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done

2012-09-14T17:00:38Z

commit 47fbf7976e0b7d9dcdd799e2a1baba19064d9631 upstream. Ever since commit 0a57cdac3f (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS. When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can be triggered because it assumes that we would never call layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the assumptions behind the test are obsolete.

NFSv3: Ensure that do_proc_get_root() reports errors correctly

2012-09-14T17:00:38Z

commit 086600430493e04b802bee6e5b3ce0458e4eb77f upstream. If the rpc call to NFS3PROC_FSINFO fails, then we need to report that error so that the mount fails. Otherwise we can end up with a superblock with completely unusable values for block sizes, maxfilesize, etc. Reported-by: Yuanming Chen Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vfs: canonicalize create mode in build_open_flags()

2012-09-14T17:00:37Z

commit e68726ff72cf7ba5e7d789857fcd9a75ca573f03 upstream. Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to "(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create(). The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create() with unforseen consequences. So do the canonicalization early in build_open_flags().

ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memory

2012-08-26T22:12:11Z

commit 7e731bc9a12339f344cddf82166b82633d99dd86 upstream. Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero. This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint makes it easier for people to find real bugs.
