2009-05-28integrity: nfsd imbalance bug fixMimi Zohar1-0/+14
An nfsd exported file is opened/closed by the kernel causing the integrity imbalance message. Before a file is opened, there normally is permission checking, which is done in inode_permission(). However, as integrity checking requires a dentry and mount point, which is not available in inode_permission(), the integrity (permission) checking must be called separately. In order to detect any missing integrity checking calls, we keep track of file open/closes. ima_path_check() increments these counts and does the integrity (permission) checking. As a result, the number of calls to ima_path_check()/ima_file_free() should be balanced. An extra call to fput(), indicates the file could have been accessed without first calling ima_path_check(). In nfsv3 permission checking is done once, followed by multiple reads, which do an open/close for each read. The integrity (permission) checking call should be in nfsd_permission() after the inode_permission() call, but as there is no correlation between the number of permission checking and open calls, the integrity checking call should not increment the counters, but defer it to when the file is actually opened. This patch adds: - integrity (permission) checking for nfsd exported files in nfsd_permission(). - a call to increment counts for files opened by nfsd. This patch has been updated to return the nfs error types. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-05-19cifs: fix pointer initialization and checks in cifs_follow_symlink (try #4)Jeff Layton2-27/+27
This is the third respin of the patch posted yesterday to fix the error handling in cifs_follow_symlink. It also includes a fix for a bogus NULL pointer check in CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink that Jeff Moyer spotted. It's possible for CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink to return without setting target_path to a valid pointer. If that happens then the current value to which we're initializing this pointer could cause an oops when it's kfree'd. This patch is a little more comprehensive than the last patches. It reorganizes cifs_follow_link a bit for (hopefully) better readability. It should also eliminate the uneeded allocation of full_path on servers without unix extensions (assuming they can get to this point anyway, of which I'm not convinced). On a side note, I'm not sure I agree with the logic of enabling this query even when unix extensions are disabled on the client. It seems like that should disable this as well. But, changing that is outside the scope of this fix, so I've left it alone for now.

2009-05-18nfs: Fix NFS v4 client handling of MAY_EXEC in nfs_permission.Frank Filz1-1/+2
The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

2009-05-15devpts: correctly set default optionsSukadev Bhattiprolu1-6/+12
devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.

2009-05-15ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extentTheodore Ts'o1-5/+12
If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

2009-05-14ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initializedAneesh Kumar K.V1-0/+13
The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks() function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping. When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin phase of write(2).

2009-05-14Btrfs: Don't loop forever on metadata IO failuresChris Mason1-3/+36
When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block() ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date. The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never going to become up to date. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-05-13Remove implementation of readpage from the hugetlbfs_aopsMel Gorman1-11/+0
The core VM assumes the page size used by the address_space in inode->i_mapping is PAGE_SIZE but hugetlbfs breaks this assumption by inserting pages into the page cache at offsets the core VM considers unexpected. This would not be a problem except that hugetlbfs also provide a ->readpage implementation. As it exists, the core VM can assume the base page size is being used, allocate pages on behalf of the filesystem, insert them into the page cache and call ->readpage to populate them. These pages are the wrong size and at the wrong offset for hugetlbfs causing confusion. This patch deletes the ->readpage implementation for hugetlbfs on the grounds the core VM should not be allocating and populating pages on behalf of hugetlbfs. There should be no existing users of the ->readpage implementation so it should not cause a regression.

The problem was detected by lockdep check as follows: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 ------------------------------------------------------- mmap/5418 is trying to acquire lock: (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}, at: [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] but task is already holding lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<c01470a5>] __lock_acquire+0x1066/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c01836bc>] might_fault+0x68/0x88 [<c023c730>] copy_to_user+0x2c/0xfc [<d0d11b4f>] nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy+0x103/0x160 [nilfs2] [<d0d11fa9>] nilfs_ioctl+0x30a/0x3b0 [nilfs2] [<c01a3be7>] vfs_ioctl+0x22/0x69 [<c01a408e>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x460/0x499 [<c01a4107>] sys_ioctl+0x40/0x5a [<c01031a4>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff -> #0 (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}: [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by mmap/5418: #0: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a stack backtrace: Pid: 5418, comm: mmap Not tainted 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 Call Trace: [<c0432145>] ? printk+0xf/0x12 [<c0145c48>] print_circular_bug_tail+0xaa/0xb5 [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<d0d10149>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0x1e/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c013b59a>] ? up_read+0x16/0x2c [<d0d10225>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0xfa/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043700a>] ? do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a [<c013b54f>] ? down_read_trylock+0x39/0x43 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a This makes the lock granularity of nilfs->ns_segctor_sem finer than that of the mmap semaphore for ioctl commands except nilfs_clean_segments(). The successive patch ("nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in nilfs_clean_segments ioctl") is required to fully resolve the problem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
2009-05-11CRED: Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptraceDavid Howells1-0/+6
Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2009-05-11CRED: Rename cred_exec_mutex to reflect that it's a guard against ptraceDavid Howells2-8/+8
Rename cred_exec_mutex to reflect that it's a guard against foreign intervention on a process's credential state, such as is made by ptrace(). The attachment of a debugger to a process affects execve()'s calculation of the new credential state - _and_ also setprocattr()'s calculation of that state.

2009-05-10nilfs2: ensure to clear dirty state when deleting metadata file blockRyusuke Konishi2-2/+3
This would fix the following failure during GC: nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints: cannot delete block NILFS: GC failed during preparation: cannot delete checkpoints: err=-2 The problem was caused by a break in state consistency between page cache and btree; the above block was removed from the btree but the page buffering the block was remaining in the page cache in dirty state. This resolves the inconsistency by ensuring to clear dirty state of the page buffering the deleted block.
