2009-12-18jffs2: Fix long-standing bug with symlink garbage collection.David Woodhouse
commit 2e16cfca6e17ae37ae21feca080a6f2eca9087dc upstream. Ever since jffs2_garbage_collect_metadata() was first half-written in February 2001, it's been broken on architectures where 'char' is signed. When garbage collecting a symlink with target length above 127, the payload length would end up negative, causing interesting and bad things to happen.

2009-12-08jffs2: Fix memory corruption in jffs2_read_inode_range()David Woodhouse
commit 199bc9ff5ca5e4b3bcaff8927b2983c65f34c263 upstream. In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1f925399e0d81ca3f7394a44a6dafa12c ("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines (e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block). JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_ valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any holes with the following memset: memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset); When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in: memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>); Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing random oopses, like this: root@10.0.0.4:~/ltp-fs-20090531# ./testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest01 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000008 Faulting instruction address: 0xc01cd980 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [c01cd980] rb_insert_color+0x38/0x184 LR [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 Call Trace: [c6c63b60] [c004f9a8] tick_sched_timer+0xa0/0xe4 (unreliable) [c6c63b80] [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 [c6c63b90] [c0043a48] __run_hrtimer+0x94/0xbc [c6c63bb0] [c0044628] hrtimer_interrupt+0x140/0x2b8 [c6c63c10] [c000f8e8] timer_interrupt+0x13c/0x254 [c6c63c30] [c001352c] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14 --- Exception: 901 at memset+0x38/0x5c LR = jffs2_read_inode_range+0x144/0x17c [c6c63cf0] [00000000] (null) (unreliable) This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug above also broke the truncation).

2009-09-15JFFS2: add missing verify buffer allocation/deallocationMassimo Cirillo
commit bc8cec0dff072f1a45ce7f6b2c5234bb3411ac51 upstream. The function jffs2_nor_wbuf_flash_setup() doesn't allocate the verify buffer if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is defined, so causing a kernel panic when that macro is enabled and the verify function is called. Similarly the jffs2_nor_wbuf_flash_cleanup() must free the buffer if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is enabled. The following patch fixes the problem. The following patch applies to 2.6.30 kernel.

2009-03-16JFFS2: fix mount crash caused by removed nodesThomas Gleixner
commit 4c41bd0ec953954158f92bed5d3062645062b98e upstream. At scan time we observed following scenario: node A inserted node B inserted node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains while (tn->overlapped) tn = tn_prev(tn); ==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced. When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the scan code to crash. It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable solution.

2009-01-18fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
commit 54566b2c1594c2326a645a3551f9d989f7ba3c5e upstream. With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2008-04-23[JFFS2] Fix jffs2_reserve_space() when all blocks are pending erasure.David Woodhouse
When _all_ the blocks were on the erase_pending_list, we could't find a block to GC from but there was no _actually_ free space, and jffs2_reserve_space() would get a little unhappy. Handle this case by returning -EAGAIN from jffs2_garbage_collect_pass(). There are two callers of that function -- jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc(), which will interpret it as an error and flush the writebuffer by other means, and jffs2_reserve_space(), which we modify to respond to -EAGAIN with an immediate call to jffs2_erase_pending_blocks() and another run round the loop.

Add that. Make jffs2_mark_erased_block() file the newly-erased block on the free_list before calling the debug function, to make it happy. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-04-22[JFFS2] Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkersDavid Woodhouse
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref() (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size. But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_. Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper lock, while we're at it. Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost) pinpointing the problem.

The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko <vasiliy.leonenko@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

posix_acl_clone does a memory allocation and sets a reference count, so posix_acl_release is needed afterwards to free it. The problem was fixed using the following semantic patch. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ type T; identifier E; expression E1, E2; int ret; statement S; @@ T E; <+... ( E = \(posix_acl_clone\|posix_acl_alloc\|posix_acl_dup\)(...); if (E == NULL) S | if ((E = \(posix_acl_clone\|posix_acl_alloc\|posix_acl_dup\)(...)) == NULL) S ) ... when != E2 = E when strict ( posix_acl_release(E); | E1 = E; | + posix_acl_release(E); return; | + posix_acl_release(E); return ret; ) ...+> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Acked-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2007-11-28[JFFS2] Fix return value check for mtd->point() in check_node_data()Alexey Korolev
If we ask it to map 'len' bytes of the device, don't compare against some other number and whine that it's different. That's a little silly. Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2007-11-21[JFFS2] Fix data CRC checking on NOR flash.David Woodhouse
We were failing to check the data CRC on data nodes on non-writebuffered flash, which led to "interesting" behaviour on unclean shutdowns. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
