2010-12-14Un-inline get_pipe_info() helper functionLinus Torvalds
commit 72083646528d4887b920deb71b37e09bc7d227bb upstream. This avoids some include-file hell, and the function isn't really important enough to be inlined anyway.

2010-12-14Export 'get_pipe_info()' to other usersLinus Torvalds
commit c66fb347946ebdd5b10908866ecc9fa05ee2cf3d upstream. And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'. The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes. The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the splice code is using.

2010-12-14Rename 'pipe_info()' to 'get_pipe_info()'Linus Torvalds
commit 71993e62a47dabddf10302807d6aa260455503f4 upstream. .. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since that's what all users want anyway. The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users. The old 'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.

commit a0822c55779d9319939eac69f00bb729ea9d23da upstream. The attribute cache for a file was not being cleared when a file is opened with O_TRUNC. If the filesystem's open operation truncates the file ("atomic_o_trunc" feature flag is set) then the kernel should invalidate the cached st_mtime and st_ctime attributes. Also i_size should be explicitly be set to zero as it is used sometimes without refreshing the cache. Signed-off-by: Ken Sumrall <ksumrall@android.com> Cc: Anfei <anfei.zhou@gmail.com> Cc: "Anand V.

2010-12-14exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() pathsOleg Nesterov
commit 114279be2120a916e8a04feeb2ac976a10016f2f upstream. Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible. That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later. compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory is not visible to oom killer. Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings() to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0) as do_execve() does. Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly makes sense.

2010-12-14exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killerOleg Nesterov
commit 3c77f845722158206a7209c45ccddc264d19319c upstream. Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT): http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent bprm->mm and take it into account. With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back. Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct once exec changes ->mm or fails. Compared to upstream: before 2.6.36 kernel, oom-killer's badness() takes mm->total_vm into account and nothing else. So acct_arg_size() has to play with this counter too.

2010-12-14ecryptfs: call vfs_setxattr() in ecryptfs_setxattr()Roberto Sassu
commit 48b512e6857139393cdfce26348c362b87537018 upstream. Ecryptfs is a stackable filesystem which relies on lower filesystems the ability of setting/getting extended attributes. If there is a security module enabled on the system it updates the 'security' field of inodes according to the owned extended attribute set with the function vfs_setxattr(). When this function is performed on a ecryptfs filesystem the 'security' field is not updated for the lower filesystem since the call security_inode_post_setxattr() is missing for the lower inode. Further, the call security_inode_setxattr() is missing for the lower inode, leading to policy violations in the security module because specific checks for this hook are not performed (i. e. filesystem 'associate' permission on SELinux is not checked for the lower filesystem). This patch replaces the call of the setxattr() method of the lower inode in the function ecryptfs_setxattr() with vfs_setxattr().

commit 2e21b3f124eceb6ab5a07c8a061adce14ac94e14 upstream. eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file system, even though ecryptfs_create() doesn't support the flag. A valid filp for the lower filesystem could be returned in the nameidata if the lower file system's create() function supported LOOKUP_OPEN, possibly resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file. However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS, CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/641703 Reported-by: Kevin Buhr Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

commit da905873effecd1c0166e578bc4b5006f041b18b upstream. reiserfs_unpack() locks the inode mutex with reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() to protect against reiserfs lock dependency. However this protection requires to have the reiserfs lock to be locked. This is the case if reiserfs_unpack() is called by reiserfs_ioctl but not from reiserfs_quota_on() when it tries to unpack tails of quota files.

2010-12-14NFSv4: Don't call nfs4_state_mark_reclaim_reboot() from error handlersTrond Myklebust
commit ae1007d37e00144b72906a4bdc47d517ae91bcc1 upstream. In the case of a server reboot, the state recovery thread starts by calling nfs4_state_end_reclaim_reboot() in order to avoid edge conditions when the server reboots while the client is in the middle of recovery. However, if the client has already marked the nfs4_state as requiring reboot recovery, then the above behaviour will cause the recovery thread to treat the open as if it was part of such an edge condition: the open will be recovered as if it was part of a lease expiration (and all the locks will be lost). Fix is to remove the call to nfs4_state_mark_reclaim_reboot from nfs4_async_handle_error(), and nfs4_handle_exception(). Instead we leave it to the recovery thread to do this for us.

What we do not want to do is to send an nfs4_reclaim_complete(), since we haven't yet even started reclaiming state after the server rebooted.

2010-11-22cifs: fix broken oplock handlingSuresh Jayaraman
commit aa91c7e4ab9b0842b7d7a7cbf8cca18b20df89b5 upstream. cifs_new_fileinfo() does not use the 'oplock' value from the callers. Instead, it sets it to REQ_OPLOCK which seems wrong. We should be using the oplock value obtained from the Server to set the inode's clientCanCacheAll or clientCanCacheRead flags. Fix this by passing oplock from the callers to cifs_new_fileinfo().

2010-10-28execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large argumentsRoland McGrath
commit 9aea5a65aa7a1af9a4236dfaeb0088f1624f9919 upstream. An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

2010-10-28execve: improve interactivity with large argumentsRoland McGrath
commit 7993bc1f4663c0db67bb8f0d98e6678145b387cd upstream. This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

2010-10-28setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument sizeRoland McGrath
commit 1b528181b2ffa14721fb28ad1bd539fe1732c583 upstream. The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem.

2010-10-28xfs: properly account for reclaimed inodesJohannes Weiner
commit 081003fff467ea0e727f66d5d435b4f473a789b3 upstream. When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree is also tagged. When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent tree's AG entry untagged properly. Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one point in time. The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the shrinker bails out after one iteration. But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan several million objects. Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an inode when it is reclaimed.

2010-09-26aio: do not return ERESTARTSYS as a result of AIOJan Kara
commit a0c42bac79731276c9b2f28d54f9e658fcf843a2 upstream. OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code (restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behaviour. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual file systems. We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore is the safer solution.

commit 767b68e96993e29e3480d7ecdd9c4b84667c5762 upstream. In 32-bit compatibility mode, the error handling for compat_do_readv_writev() may free an uninitialized pointer, potentially leading to all sorts of ugly memory corruption. This is reliably triggerable by unprivileged users by invoking the readv()/writev() syscalls with an invalid iovec pointer. The below patch fixes this to emulate the non-compat version.

commit 460cf3411b858ad509d5255e0dfaf862a83c0299 upstream. cifs_get_smb_ses must be called on a server pointer on which it holds an active reference. It first does a search for an existing SMB session. If it finds one, it'll put the server reference and then try to ensure that the negprot is done, etc. If it encounters an error at that point then it'll return an error. There's a potential problem here though. When cifs_get_smb_ses returns an error, the caller will also put the TCP server reference leading to a double-put. Fix this by having cifs_get_smb_ses only put the server reference if it found an existing session that it could use and isn't returning an error.

2010-09-20O_DIRECT: fix the splitting up of contiguous I/OJeff Moyer
commit 7a801ac6f5067539ceb5fad0fe90ec49fc156e47 upstream. commit c2c6ca4 (direct-io: do not merge logically non-contiguous requests) introduced a bug whereby all O_DIRECT I/Os were submitted a page at a time to the block layer. The problem is that the code expected dio->block_in_file to correspond to the current page in the dio. In fact, it corresponds to the previous page submitted via submit_page_section. This was purely an oversight, as the dio->cur_page_fs_offset field was introduced for just this purpose. This patch simply uses the correct variable when calculating whether there is a mismatch between contiguous logical blocks and contiguous physical blocks (as described in the comments). I also switched the if conditional following this check to an else if, to ensure that we never call dio_bio_submit twice for the same dio (in theory, this should not happen, anyway). I've tested this by running blktrace and verifying that a 64KB I/O was submitted as a single I/O. I also ran the patched kernel through xfstests' aio tests using xfs, ext4 (with 1k and 4k block sizes) and btrfs and verified that there were no regressions as compared to an unpatched kernel.

The latter first checks to see if that block is cached in the journal, and, if so, returns that block. That is ok. But ocfs2_read_locked_inode() goes wrong when it tries to validate the checksum of such blocks. Blocks that are cached in the journal may not have had their checksum computed as yet.

commit 595afaf9e6ee1b48e13ec4b8bcc8c7dee888161a upstream. David Bartly reported that fuse can hang in fuse_get_req_nofail() when the connection to the filesystem server is no longer active. If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those background requests will be queued to the pending list and never ended. Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes sleeping on blocked_waitq. Solve this by: a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the pending and processing queues b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on blocked_waitq() Thanks to David for an excellent bug report.

commit fb511f2150174b18b28ad54708c1adda0df39b17 upstream. If we write into an unwritten extent using AIO we need to complete the AIO request after the extent conversion has finished. Without that a read could race to see see the extent still unwritten and return zeros. For synchronous I/O we already take care of that by flushing the xfsconvertd workqueue (which might be a bit of overkill). To do that add iocb and result fields to struct xfs_ioend, so that we can call aio_complete from xfs_end_io after the extent conversion has happened. Note that we need a new result field as io_error is used for positive errno values, while the AIO code can return negative error values and positive transfer sizes.

It adds iocb and result fields to struct ext4_io_end_t, so that we can call aio_complete from ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent conversion has finished. I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.

2010-09-20direct-io: move aio_complete into ->end_ioChristoph Hellwig
commit 40e2e97316af6e62affab7a392e792494b8d9dde upstream. Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly. This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback prototype even more complicated.

2010-09-20xfs: ensure we mark all inodes in a freed cluster XFS_ISTALEDave Chinner
commit 5b3eed756cd37255cad1181bd86bfd0977e97953 upstream. Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on. When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an EUCLEAN error such as: Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117 Fix this by ensuring that we hoover up all in memory inodes in the cluster and mark them XFS_ISTALE when freeing the cluster.

2010-09-20xfs: fix untrusted inode number lookupDave Chinner
commit 4536f2ad8b330453d7ebec0746c4374eadd649b1 upstream. Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered invalid when they were actually valid. The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently exercised to uncover this intermittent problem. Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.

2010-08-26Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobeDavid Howells
commit 31d1d48e199e99077fb30f6fb9a793be7bec756f upstream. Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a module. This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel log: request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module
