ocfs2: ac->ac_allow_chain_relink=0 won't disable group relink

2013-03-03T22:09:04Z

commit 309a85b6861fedbb48a22d45e0e079d1be993b3a upstream. ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig() disables chain relink by setting ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 0 because it grabs clusters from multiple cluster groups. It doesn't keep the credits for all chain relink,but ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits overrides this in this call trace: ocfs2_block_group_claim_bits()->ocfs2_claim_clusters()-> __ocfs2_claim_clusters()->ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits() ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits set ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 1; then call ocfs2_search_chain() one time and disable it again, and then we run out of credits. Fix is to allow relink by default and disable it in ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig. Without this patch, End-users will run into a crash due to run out of credits, backtrace like this: RIP: 0010:[] [] jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata+0x164/0x170 [jbd2] RSP: 0018:ffff8801b919b5b8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88022139ddc0 RCX: ffff880159f652d0 RDX: ffff880178aa3000 RSI: ffff880159f652d0 RDI: ffff880087f09bf8 RBP: ffff8801b919b5e8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000001e00 R11: 00000000000150b0 R12: ffff880159f652d0 R13: ffff8801a0cae908 R14: ffff880087f09bf8 R15: ffff88018d177800 FS: 00007fc9b0b6b6e0(0000) GS:ffff88022fd40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 000000000040819c CR3: 0000000184017000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process dd (pid: 9945, threadinfo ffff8801b919a000, task ffff880149a264c0) Call Trace: ocfs2_journal_dirty+0x2f/0x70 [ocfs2] ocfs2_relink_block_group+0x111/0x480 [ocfs2] ocfs2_search_chain+0x455/0x9a0 [ocfs2] ...

NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine

2013-02-28T14:32:26Z

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream. The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a different patch. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern CC: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ext4: add missing kfree() on error return path in add_new_gdb()

commit c49bafa3842751b8955a962859f42d307673d75d upstream. We added some more error handling in b40971426a "ext4: add error checking to calls to ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()".

NLM: Ensure that we resend all pending blocking locks after a reclaim

2013-02-28T14:32:25Z

commit 666b3d803a511fbc9bc5e5ea8ce66010cf03ea13 upstream. Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail with an ENOLCK error. The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request after the grace period has expired.

inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL

2013-02-28T14:32:25Z

commit 676a0675cf9200ac047fb50825f80867b3bb733b upstream. Running the command: inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount event wait will work. The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask checks"). In that commit, it states: The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask() sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway. But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this: mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg); - if (unlikely(!mask)) + if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS))) return -EINVAL; The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the check should be: if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT)))) But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get enabled there. Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logic

2013-02-14T18:47:36Z

[ Upstream commit ae62ca7b03217be5e74759dc6d7698c95df498b3 ] commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once) added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all frags but the last one for a splice() call. The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe, or a smaller one. But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails. The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP sessions. We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1) Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection and test programs.

nilfs2: fix fix very long mount time issue

2013-02-11T16:16:47Z

commit a9bae189542e71f91e61a4428adf6e5a7dfe8063 upstream. There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without any other filesystem activity during significant time. The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag. As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super root placement. SYMPTOMS: Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some cases). REPRODUCING PATH: 1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume. 2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example, dd if=/dev/zero of= bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of file defines duration of GC working. 3. Then it needs to delete file. 4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 - 40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually. 5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time. REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% FIX: This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.
