Following function can drops d_count twice against one reference
by lookup_one_len.
<SOURCE>
/**
* sysfs_update_file - update the modified timestamp on an object attribute.
* @kobj: object we're acting for.
* @attr: attribute descriptor.
*/
int sysfs_update_file(struct kobject * kobj, const struct attribute * attr)
{
struct dentry * dir = kobj->dentry;
struct dentry * victim;
int res = -ENOENT;
mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex);
victim = lookup_one_len(attr->name, dir, strlen(attr->name));
if (!IS_ERR(victim)) {
/* make sure dentry is really there */
if (victim->d_inode &&
(victim->d_parent->d_inode == dir->d_inode)) {
victim->d_inode->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME;
fsnotify_modify(victim);
/**
* Drop reference from initial sysfs_get_dentry().
*/
dput(victim);
res = 0;
} else
d_drop(victim);
/**
* Drop the reference acquired from sysfs_get_dentry() above.
*/
dput(victim);
}
mutex_unlock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex);
return res;
}
</SOURCE>
PCI-hotplug (drivers/pci/hotplug/pci_hotplug_core.c) is only user of
this function. I confirmed that dentry of /sys/bus/pci/slots/XXX/*
have negative d_count value.
This patch removes unnecessary dput().

In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:
"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption. This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...]
Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)
Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""
This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count.
When partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes
the partition sizes to be invalid:
# cat /proc/paritions | grep sdan
66 112 2146435072 sdan
66 115 9223372036853660736 sdan3
66 120 9223372036853660736 sdan8
This patch switches the sector count to an unsigned int to fix this.
Eric Sandeen also submitted the same patch.

This just turns off chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files, since there is no
good reason to allow it, and had we disallowed it originally, the nasty
/proc race exploit wouldn't have been possible.
The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this
is really just some final mop-up..
This particular version is based off a patch by Eugene and Marcel which
had much better naming than my original equivalent one.

When found, it is obvious. nfds calculated when allocating fdsets is

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.
So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.
Andrew Morton fixed an off-by-one error.
Dann Frazier ported the patch to 2.6.16.

If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we
jump to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret). But ret can contain
a positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set
it to -EFAULT always.

It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page. Instead of
issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
that the private data for the page cannot be released.
I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong. If
it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
it needs to return 0.
Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

do_lookup_path()
We're presently running lock_kernel() under fs_lock via nfs's ->permission
handler. That's a ranking bug and sometimes a sleep-in-spinlock bug. This
problem was introduced in the openat() patchset.
We should not need to hold the current->fs->lock for a codepath that doesn't
use current->fs.

It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).
If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.
Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled. If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().
While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).
So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.
In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.
In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:
if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
/*
* On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
* request from the recvq/xmitq.
*/
smb_lock_server(server);
if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}
smb_unlock_server(server);
}
[...]
if (signal_pending(current))
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;
I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.
Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).
If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.
I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.
This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.

It is insane to be giving lease_init() the task of freeing the lock it is
supposed to initialise, given that the lock is not guaranteed to be
allocated on the stack. This causes lockups in fcntl_setlease().

This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv()
and writev() in for 32-bit compatible apps using a 64-bit kernel.
This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev
code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code. Thanks to Al for spotting
this one.

reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found
the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl()
returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as
reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such
as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock
and try to take it again with obvious consequences.

Repair /proc/devices early-termination regression.
2.6.16 broke /proc/devices. An application often gets an
EOF before the end of data is reached, if that application
uses a series of short read(2)s to access the data. I have
used read buffers of varying sizes with varying degrees
of unsuccess (larger sizes get further into the data than
smaller sizes, following a simple pattern). It appears
that the only safe way to get the data is to use a single
read buffer larger than all the data in /proc/devices.
The following example demonstates the problem:
# dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
Character devices:
1 mem
27+0 records in
27+0 records out
This patch is a backport of the fix recently accepted to
Linus's tree:
commit 68eef3b4791572ecb70249c7fb145bb3742dd899
[PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regression
It replaces the complex, state-machine algorithm introduced
in 2.6.16 with a simple algorithm, modeled on the implementation
of /proc/interrupts.

There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and
access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we
need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd
table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might
see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch
fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

x86: be careful about tailcall breakage for sys_open[at] too
Came up through a quick grep for other cases similar to the ftruncate()
one in commit 0a489cb3b6a7b277030cdbc97c2c65905db94536.
Also, add a comment, so that people who read the code understand why we
do what looks like a no-op.
(Again, this won't actually matter to any sane user, since libc will
save and restore the register gcc stomps on, but it's still wrong to
stomp on it)

x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()
Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for
"asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack
when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.
Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.
I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue
before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).
Thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse <hilse@sub.uni-goettingen.de> for reporting
the issue and testing the fix.

Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147
For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.
This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.
Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).
Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the
kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which
have already been inserted into the cache by another task.
Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while
fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the
request.
So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying
to send it.

NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.
This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.
This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going
in to mainline.

If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative
dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops. This leaves the negative entry
in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal). If the file is
created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the
directory with weird permissions.
This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.
