2011-02-21eCryptfs: Copy up lower inode attrs in getattrTyler Hicks1-0/+2
The lower filesystem may do some type of inode revalidation during a getattr call. eCryptfs should take advantage of that by copying the lower inode attributes to the eCryptfs inode after a call to vfs_getattr() on the lower inode. I originally wrote this fix while working on eCryptfs on nfsv3 support, but discovered it also fixed an eCryptfs on ext4 nanosecond timestamp bug that was reported. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613873 Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

read() calls against a file descriptor connected to a directory are incorrectly returning EINVAL rather than EISDIR: [EISDIR] [XSI] [Option Start] The fildes argument refers to a directory and the implementation does not allow the directory to be read using read() or pread(). The readdir() function should be used instead. [Option End] This occurs because we do not have a .read operation defined for ecryptfs directories. Connect this up to generic_read_dir().

The code finds, the '%' sign in an ipv6 address and copies that to a buffer allocated on the stack. It then ignores that buffer, and passes 'pct' to simple_strtoul(), which doesn't work right because we're comparing 'endp' against a completely different string. Fix it by passing the correct pointer. While we're at it, this is a good candidate for conversion to strict_strtoul as well.

This reverts commit 75f1dc0d076d ("block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get()"). That commit added stricter checking to make sure devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that mode. It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens block devices. Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device. Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them read-write even if they were being used read-only. Auditing all that code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc. will also be required.

2011-02-16vfs: fix BUG_ON() in fs/namei.c:1461Linus Torvalds1-5/+4
When Al moved the nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu_maybe() call into the do_follow_link function in commit 844a391799c2 ("nothing in do_follow_link() is going to see RCU"), he mistakenly left the BUG_ON(inode != path->dentry->d_inode); behind. Which would otherwise be ok, but that BUG_ON() really needs to be _after_ dropping RCU, since the dentry isn't necessarily stable otherwise. So complete the code movement in that commit, and move the BUG_ON() into do_follow_link() too. This means that we need to pass in 'inode' as an argument (just for this one use), but that's a small thing. And eventually we may be confident enough in our path lookup that we can just remove the BUG_ON() and the unnecessary inode argument.

2011-02-14btrfs: prevent heap corruption in btrfs_ioctl_space_info()Dan Rosenberg1-2/+8
Commit bf5fc093c5b625e4259203f1cee7ca73488a5620 refactored btrfs_ioctl_space_info() and introduced several security issues. space_args.space_slots is an unsigned 64-bit type controlled by a possibly unprivileged caller. The comparison as a signed int type allows providing values that are treated as negative and cause the subsequent allocation size calculation to wrap, or be truncated to 0. By providing a size that's truncated to 0, kmalloc() will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. It's also possible to provide a value smaller than the slot count. The subsequent loop ignores the allocation size when copying data in, resulting in a heap overflow or write to ZERO_SIZE_PTR. The fix changes the slot count type and comparison typecast to u64, which prevents truncation or signedness errors, and also ensures that we don't copy more data than we've allocated in the subsequent loop. Note that zero-size allocations are no longer possible since there is already an explicit check for space_args.space_slots being 0 and truncation of this value is no longer an issue.

2011-02-14Btrfs: don't release pages when we can't clear the uptodate bitsChris Mason1-1/+9
Btrfs tracks uptodate state in an rbtree as well as in the page bits. This is supposed to enable us to use block sizes other than the page size, but there are a few parts still missing before that completely works. But, our readpage routine trusts this additional range based tracking of uptodateness, much in the same way the buffer head up to date bits are trusted for the other filesystems. The problem is that sometimes we need to allocate memory in order to split records in the rbtree, even when we are just clearing bits. This can be difficult when our clearing function is called GFP_ATOMIC, which can happen in the releasepage path. So, what happens today looks like this: releasepage called with GFP_ATOMIC btrfs_releasepage calls clear_extent_bit clear_extent_bit fails to allocate ram, leaving the up to date bit set btrfs_releasepage returns success The end result is the page being gone, but btrfs thinking the range is up to date. Later on if someone tries to read that same page, the btrfs readpage code will return immediately thinking the page is already up to date. This commit fixes things to fail the releasepage when we can't clear the extent state bits. It covers both data pages and metadata tree blocks. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2011-02-14Btrfs: fix page->private racesChris Mason2-5/+41
There is a race where btrfs_releasepage can drop the page->private contents just as alloc_extent_buffer is setting up pages for metadata. Because of how the Btrfs page flags work, this results in us skipping the crc on the page during IO. This patch sovles the race by waiting until after the extent buffer is inserted into the radix tree before it sets page private. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2011-02-14nfsd4: acquire only one lease per fileJ. Bruce Fields2-42/+58
Instead of acquiring one lease each time another client opens a file, nfsd can acquire just one lease to represent all of them, and reference count it to determine when to release it. This fixes a regression introduced by c45821d263a8a5109d69a9e8942b8d65bcd5f31a "locks: eliminate fl_mylease callback": after that patch, only the struct file * is used to determine who owns a given lease. But since we recently converted the server to share a single struct file per open, if we acquire multiple leases on the same file from nfsd, it then becomes impossible on unlocking a lease to determine which of those leases (all of whom share the same struct file *) we meant to remove.

If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it should increment corresponding nfsdstats counter (ra_depth[10]), but due to a bug it may instead write to ra_depth[11], corrupting the following field. In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since there is no operation 0, this is harmless.

On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that __jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which will grab the write lock.

2011-02-12ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIOEric Sandeen5-18/+100
ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated by xfstest 240. The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new" block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated and causes data corruption. Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here. The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO. This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level. I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the work queue to do conversions - which must also take the i_mutex. So that won't work. This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned) but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day. Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here; unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

2011-02-12ext4: make grpinfo slab cache names staticEric Sandeen1-40/+60
In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module loads & unloads. I tracked this down to: fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures (this was in addition to the features advert unload problem) The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates & frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different... so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double freeing the one allocated by slub. After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2 method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from a list of static names. (This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with parallel mounts running).
