commit a2a4dc494a7b7135f460e38e788c4a58f65e4ac3 upstream.

Commit 9e30cc9595303b27b48 removed an internal mount. This
has the side-effect that rootfs now has FSID 0. Many
userspace utilities assume that st_dev in struct stat
is never 0, so this change breaks a number of tools in
early userspace.

Since we don't know how many userspace programs are affected,
make sure that FSID is at least 1.

<title>cifs: Wait for writebacks to complete before attempting write.</title>

commit c11f1df5003d534fd067f0168bfad7befffb3b5c upstream.

Problem reported in Red Hat bz 1040329 for strict writes where we cache
only when we hold oplock and write direct to the server when we don't.

When we receive an oplock break, we first change the oplock value for
the inode in cifsInodeInfo-&gt;oplock to indicate that we no longer hold
the oplock before we enqueue a task to flush changes to the backing
device. Once we have completed flushing the changes, we return the
oplock to the server.

There are 2 ways here where we can have data corruption
1) While we flush changes to the backing device as part of the oplock
break, we can have processes write to the file. These writes check for
the oplock, find none and attempt to write directly to the server.
These direct writes made while we are flushing from cache could be
overwritten by data being flushed from the cache causing data
corruption.
2) While a thread runs in cifs_strict_writev, the machine could receive
and process an oplock break after the thread has checked the oplock and
found that it allows us to cache and before we have made changes to the
cache. In that case, we end up with a dirty page in cache when we
shouldn't have any. This will be flushed later and will overwrite all
subsequent writes to the part of the file represented by this page.

Before making any writes to the server, we need to confirm that we are
not in the process of flushing data to the server and if we are, we
should wait until the process is complete before we attempt the write.
We should also wait for existing writes to complete before we process
an oplock break request which changes oplock values.

We add a version specific  downgrade_oplock() operation to allow for
differences in the oplock values set for the different smb versions.

Evidently, we created some lockd sockets and then failed to create
others. make_socks then returned an error and we tried to tear down the
svc, but svc-&gt;sv_permsocks was not empty so we ended up tripping over
the BUG() in svc_destroy().

Fix this by ensuring that we tear down any live sockets we created when
socket creation is going to return an error.

<title>aio: v4 ensure access to ctx-&gt;ring_pages is correctly serialised for migration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b729b32b5f62a15059208731ac3d6b5a7712e20</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fa8a53c39f3fdde98c9eace6a9b412143f0f6ed6 upstream.

As reported by Tang Chen, Gu Zheng and Yasuaki Isimatsu, the following issues
exist in the aio ring page migration support.

As a result, for example, we have the following problem:

            thread 1                      |              thread 2
                                          |
aio_migratepage()                         |
 |-&gt; take ctx-&gt;completion_lock            |
 |-&gt; migrate_page_copy(new, old)          |
 |   *NOW*, ctx-&gt;ring_pages[idx] == old   |
                                          |
                                          |    *NOW*, ctx-&gt;ring_pages[idx] == old
                                          |    aio_read_events_ring()
                                          |     |-&gt; ring = kmap_atomic(ctx-&gt;ring_pages[0])
                                          |     |-&gt; ring-&gt;head = head;          *HERE, write to the old ring page*
                                          |     |-&gt; kunmap_atomic(ring);
                                          |
 |-&gt; ctx-&gt;ring_pages[idx] = new           |
 |   *BUT NOW*, the content of            |
 |    ring_pages[idx] is old.             |
 |-&gt; release ctx-&gt;completion_lock         |

As above, the new ring page will not be updated.

Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding
the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration.  This avoids
the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's
and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code.

Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the
migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock().  Page migration is not a 100%
critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be
tolerated.  This issue was reported by Sasha Levin.

Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx-&gt;completion_lock.
Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping-&gt;private_lock, and
have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling
put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx-&gt;ring_pages[].  This simplifies the
error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness.

v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.

<title>locks: allow __break_lease to sleep even when break_time is 0</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4991a628a789dc5954e98e79476d9808812292ec upstream.

A fl-&gt;fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code
that basically means "never break the lease". knfsd uses this to ensure
that leases don't disappear out from under it.

Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value
to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going
to sleep at all. This causes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and
causes soft lockups.

Fix this by ensuring that we pass a minimum value of 1 as a timeout
instead.

<content type='text'>
commit 622cad1325e404598fe3b148c3fa640dbaabc235 upstream.

The function ext4_update_i_disksize() is used in only one place, in
the function mpage_map_and_submit_extent().  Move its code to simplify
the code paths, and also move the call to ext4_mark_inode_dirty() into
the i_data_sem's critical region, to be consistent with all of the
other places where we update i_disksize.  That way, we also keep the
raw_inode's i_disksize protected, to avoid the following race:

      CPU #1                                 CPU #2

   down_write(&amp;i_data_sem)
   Modify i_disk_size
   up_write(&amp;i_data_sem)
                                        down_write(&amp;i_data_sem)
                                        Modify i_disk_size
                                        Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode
                                        up_write(&amp;i_data_sem)
   Copy i_disk_size to on-disk inode

The reason for the warning is that buffer_head passed into
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't have journal_head attached. This is
caused by the following race of two ext4_xattr_release_block() calls:

CPU1                                CPU2
ext4_xattr_release_block()          ext4_xattr_release_block()
lock_buffer(bh);
/* False */
if (BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
} else {
  le32_add_cpu(&amp;BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount, -1);
  unlock_buffer(bh);
                                    lock_buffer(bh);
                                    /* True */
                                    if (BHDR(bh)-&gt;h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
                                      get_bh(bh);
                                      ext4_free_blocks()
                                        ...
                                        jbd2_journal_forget()
                                          jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer()
                                          -&gt; JH is gone
  error = ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block(handle, inode, bh);
  -&gt; triggers the warning

We fix the problem by moving ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block() under the
buffer lock. Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that
function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in
nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer)
and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer
lock.

commit 9503c67c93ed0b95ba62d12d1fd09da6245dbdd6 upstream.

ext4_end_bio() currently throws away the error that it receives.  Chances
are this is part of a spate of errors, one of which will end up getting
the error returned to userspace somehow, but we shouldn't take that risk.
Also print out the errno to aid in debug.
