Pull UBIFS free space fix-up bugfix from Artem Bityutskiy: "It's been reported already twice recently: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-May/041408.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-June/042422.html and we finally have the fix. I am quite confident the fix is correct because I could reproduce the problem with nandsim and verify the fix. It was also verified by Iwo (the reporter). I am also confident that this is OK to merge the fix so late because this patch affects only the fixup functionality, which is not used by most users." * tag 'upstream-3.5-rc8' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs: UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-up
-
Artem Bityutskiy authored
UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is relatively new (introduced in v3.0). The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and does not have anything in the journal. There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly. All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0 The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount. The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to 'fixup_leb()'.

commit 4367af55 md/raid1: clear bad-block record when write succeeds. Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of sync_request_write. So if the writes complete very quickly, or scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling the request and the resync could hang. Also commit 73d5c38a md: avoid races when stopping resync. Fix a race condition in this same code in end_sync_write but didn't make the change in sync_request_write. This patch updates sync_request_write to fix both of those. Patch is suitable for 3.1 and later kernels.

md will refuse to stop an array if any other fd (or mounted fs) is using it. When any fs is unmounted of when the last open fd is closed all pending IO will be flushed (e.g. sync_blockdev call in __blkdev_put) so there will be no pending IO to worry about when the array is stopped. However in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to stop the array one must first get and open fd on the block device. If some fd is being used to write to the block device and it is closed after mdadm open the block device, but before mdadm issues the STOP_ARRAY ioctl, then there will be no last-close on the md device so __blkdev_put will not call sync_blockdev. If this happens, then IO can still be in-flight while md tears down the array and bad things can happen (use-after-free and subsequent havoc). So in the case where do_md_stop is being called from an open file descriptor, call sync_block after taking the mutex to ensure there will be no new openers. This is needed when setting a read-write device to read-only too. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: majianpeng <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

commit c6563a8c md: add possibility to change data-offset for devices. introduced a 'new_data_offset' attribute which should normally be the same as 'data_offset', but can be explicitly set to a different value to allow a reshape operation to move the data. Unfortunately when the 'data_offset' is explicitly set through sysfs, the new_data_offset is not also set, so the two would become out-of-sync incorrectly. One result of this is that trying to set the 'size' after the 'data_offset' would fail because it is not permitted to set the size when the 'data_offset' and 'new_data_offset' are different - as that can be confusing. Consequently when mdadm tried to do this while assembling an IMSM array it would fail. This bug was introduced in 3.5-rc1.

Commit a7a20d10 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain") make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async domain. However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be parsed. And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on for mounting the root filesystem. Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans(). [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken, but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d ("fix async probe regression"), so that same commit a7a20d10 had actually broken setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ] Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's no reason not to do this. So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

As reported by Alan Cox, and verified by Lin Ming, when a user attempts to add a CIPSO option to a socket using the CIPSO_V4_TAG_LOCAL tag the kernel dies a terrible death when it attempts to follow a NULL pointer (the skb argument to cipso_v4_validate() is NULL when called via the setsockopt() syscall). This patch fixes this by first checking to ensure that the skb is non-NULL before using it to find the incoming network interface. In the unlikely case where the skb is NULL and the user attempts to add a CIPSO option with the _TAG_LOCAL tag we return an error as this is not something we want to allow. A simple reproducer, kindly supplied by Lin Ming, although you must have the CIPSO DOI #3 configure on the system first or you will be caught early in cipso_v4_validate(): #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <linux/ip.h> #include <linux/in.h> #include <string.h> struct local_tag { char type; char length; char info[4]; }; struct cipso { char type; char length; char doi[4]; struct local_tag local; }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { int sockfd; struct cipso cipso = { .type = IPOPT_CIPSO, .length = sizeof(struct cipso), .local = { .type = 128, .length = sizeof(struct local_tag), }, }; memset(cipso.doi, 0, 4); cipso.doi[3] = 3; sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); #define SOL_IP 0 setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_OPTIONS, &cipso, sizeof(struct cipso)); return 0; } CC: Lin Ming <mlin@ss.pku.edu.cn> Reported-by: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In ancient times, the messenger could both initiate and accept connections. An artifact if that was data structures to store/process an incoming ceph_msg_connect request and send an outgoing ceph_msg_connect_reply. Sadly, the negotiation code was referencing those structures and ignoring important information (like the peer's connect_seq) from the correct ones. Among other things, this fixes tight reconnect loops where the server sends RETRY_SESSION and we (the client) retries with the same connect_seq as last time. This bug pretty easily triggered by injecting socket failures on the MDS and running some fs workload like workunits/direct_io/test_sync_io. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@inktank.com>
