Pull one more btrfs fix from Chris Mason:
"This has a recent fix from Josef for our tree log replay code. It
fixes problems where the inode counter for the number of bytes in the
file wasn't getting updated properly during fsync replay.
The commit did get rebased this morning, but it was only to clean up
the subject line. The code hasn't changed."

Btrfs: make sure nbytes are right after log replay
|
|
Revert commit 62a3ddef6181 ("vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb").
This commit doesn't look right: since we are looking at the tail of the
list (sb->s_inode_lru.prev) if we want to skip an inode, we should put
it back at the head of the list instead of the tail, otherwise we will
keep spinning on it.
Discovered when investigating why prune_icache_sb came top in perf
reports of a swapping load.

While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always
complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file. That is because
the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes
nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it. So to fix this we
need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we
replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay
the extent. This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or
the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct. With this
I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

It is unsafe to use list_for_each_entry_safe() here, because
when we drop the nn->nfs_client_lock, we pin the _current_ list
entry and ensure that it stays in the list, but we don't do the
same for the _next_ list entry. Use of list_for_each_entry() is
therefore the correct thing to do.
Also fix the refcounting in nfs41_walk_client_list().

Pull GFS2 fixes from Steven Whitehouse:
"There are two patches which fix up a couple of minor issues in the DLM
interface code, a missing error path in gfs2_rs_alloc(), one patch
which fixes a problem during "withdraw" and a fix for discards/FITRIM
when using 4k sector sized devices."

GFS2: return error if malloc failed in gfs2_rs_alloc()
GFS2: use memchr_inv

|
|
This patch changes GFS2's discard issuing code so that it calls
function sb_issue_discard rather than blkdev_issue_discard. The
code was calling blkdev_issue_discard and specifying the correct
sector offset and sector size, but blkdev_issue_discard expects
these values to be in terms of 512 byte sectors, even if the native
sector size for the device is different. Calling sb_issue_discard
with the BLOCK size instead ensures the correct block-to-512b-sector
translation. I verified that "minlen" is specified in blocks, so
comparing it to a number of blocks is correct.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".
But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]

compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a
To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().
The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
while [ true ]; do
losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done
[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.
loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

After commit 21d8a15a (lookup_one_len: don't accept . and ..) reiserfs
started failing to delete xattrs from inode. This was due to a buggy
test for '.' and '..' in fill_with_dentries() which resulted in passing
'.' and '..' entries to lookup_one_len() in some cases. That returned
error and so we failed to iterate over all xattrs of and inode.

A user reported a problem where he was getting early ENOSPC with hundreds of
gigs of free data space and 6 gigs of free metadata space. This is because the
global block reserve was taking up the entire free metadata space. This is
ridiculous, we have infrastructure in place to throttle if we start using too
much of the global reserve, so instead of letting it get this huge just limit it
to 512mb so that users can still get work done. This allowed the user to
complete his rsync without issues. Thanks

Dave reported a warning when running xfstest 275. We have been leaking delalloc
metadata space when our reservations fail. This is because we were improperly
calculating how much space to free for our checksum reservations. The problem
is we would sometimes free up space that had already been freed in another
thread and we would end up with negative usage for the delalloc space. This
patch fixes the problem by calculating how much space the other threads would
have already freed, and then calculate how much space we need to free had we not
done the reservation at all, and then freeing any excess space. This makes
xfstests 275 no longer have leaked space. Thanks

Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.
proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.
Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.
In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

As a matter of policy MNT_READONLY should not be changable if the
original mounter had more privileges than creator of the mount
namespace.
Add the flag CL_UNPRIVILEGED to note when we are copying a mount from
a mount namespace that requires more privileges to a mount namespace
that requires fewer privileges.
When the CL_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set cause clone_mnt to set MNT_NO_REMOUNT
if any of the mnt flags that should never be changed are set.
This protects both mount propagation and the initial creation of a less
privileged mount namespace.

Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is
established by setting the root directory will not be violated
by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points
to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace
creation.
Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy
it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current
root directory.
For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to
change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT
capability in the user namespace. Therefore when creating a user
namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access
can not be violated by changing the root directory.
Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user
namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount
namespace instead. With this result that this is not a practical
limitation for using user namespaces.

Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from()

... lest we get livelocks between path_is_under() and d_path() and friends.
The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks;
it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread
A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's
a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive.
As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and
rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take
vfsmount_lock only shared.

- Fix up various issues with pNFS layoutcommit
- Ensure correct read ordering of variables in
rpc_wake_up_task_queue_locked
* tag 'nfs-for-3.9-3' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs:
SUNRPC: Add barriers to ensure read ordering in rpc_wake_up_task_queue_locked
NFSv4.1: Add a helper pnfs_commit_and_return_layout
NFSv4.1: Always clear the NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT in layoutreturn
NFSv4.1: Fix a race in pNFS layoutcommit
pnfs-block: removing DM device maybe cause oops when call dev_remove
NFSv4: Fix the string length returned by the idmapper

Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative"
length can get through here.
The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an
excessive size.

Btrfs uses page_mkwrite to ensure stable pages during
crc calculations and mmap workloads. We call clear_page_dirty_for_io
before we do any crcs, and this forces any application with the file
mapped to wait for the crc to finish before it is allowed to change
the file.
With compression on, the clear_page_dirty_for_io step is happening after
we've compressed the pages. This means the applications might be
changing the pages while we are compressing them, and some of those
modifications might not hit the disk.
This commit adds the clear_page_dirty_for_io before compression starts
and makes sure to redirty the page if we have to fallback to
uncompressed IO as well.
