      ext4: fix warning in ext4_da_update_reserve_space() · 7d734532
      Jan Kara authored
      reaim workfile.dbase test easily triggers warning in
      ext4_da_update_reserve_space():
      
      EXT4-fs warning (device ram0): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:365:
      ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1
      blocks with reserved 9 data blocks)
      
      The problem is that (one of) tests creates file and then randomly writes
      to it with O_SYNC. That results in writing back pages of the file in
      random order so we create extents for written blocks say 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
      - this last allocation also allocates new block for extents. Then we
      writeout block 1 so we have extents 0-2, 4, 6, 8 and we release
      indirect extent block because extents fit in the inode again. Then we
      writeout block 10 and we need to allocate indirect extent block again
      which triggers the warning because we don't have the reservation
      anymore.
      
      Fix the problem by giving back freed metadata blocks resulting from
      extent merging into inode's reservation pool.

      ext4: avoid reusing recently deleted inodes in no journal mode · 19883bd9
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      In no journal mode, if an inode has recently been deleted, we
      shouldn't reuse it right away.  Otherwise it's possible, after an
      unclean shutdown, to hit a situation where a recently deleted inode
      gets reused for some other purpose before the inode table block has
      been written to disk.  However, if the directory entry has been
      updated, then the directory entry will be pointing at the old inode
      contents.
      
      E2fsck will make sure the file system is consistent after the
      unclean shutdown.  However, if the recently deleted inode is a
      character mode device, or an inode with the immutable bit set, even
      after the file system has been fixed up by e2fsck, it can be
      possible for a *.pyc file to be pointing at a character mode
      device, and when python tries to open the *.pyc file, Hilarity
      Ensues.  We could change all of userspace to be very suspicious
      about stat'ing files before opening them, and clearing the
      immutable flag if necessary --- or we can just avoid reusing an
      inode number if it has been recently deleted.

      ext4: allocate delayed allocation blocks before rename · 0e202704
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      When ext4_rename() overwrites an already existing file, call
      ext4_alloc_da_blocks() before starting the journal handle which
      actually does the rename, instead of doing this afterwards.  This
      improves the likelihood that the contents will survive a crash if an
      application replaces a file using the sequence:
      
      1)  write replacement contents to foo.new
      2)  <omit fsync of foo.new>
      3)  rename foo.new to foo
      
      It is still not a guarantee, since ext4_alloc_da_blocks() is *not*
      doing a file integrity sync; this means if foo.new is a very large
      file, it may not be completely flushed out to disk.
      
      However, for files smaller than a megabyte or so, any dirty pages
      should be flushed out before we do the rename operation, and so at the
      next journal commit, the CACHE FLUSH command will make sure al of
      these pages are safely on the disk platter.

      ext4: add support for extent pre-caching · 7869a4a6
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Add a new fiemap flag which forces the all of the extents in an inode
      to be cached in the extent_status tree.  This is critically important
      when using AIO to a preallocated file, since if we need to read in
      blocks from the extent tree, the io_submit(2) system call becomes
      synchronous, and the AIO is no longer "A", which is bad.
      
      In addition, for most files which have an external leaf tree block,
      the cost of caching the information in the extent status tree will be
      less than caching the entire 4k block in the buffer cache.  So it is
      generally a win to keep the extent information cached.

      ext4: cache all of an extent tree's leaf block upon reading · 107a7bd3
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      When we read in an extent tree leaf block from disk, arrange to have
      all of its entries cached.  In nearly all cases the in-memory
      representation will be more compact than the on-disk representation in
      the buffer cache, and it allows us to get the information without
      having to traverse the extent tree for successive extents.

      ext4: use unsigned int for es_status values · 3be78c73
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Don't use an unsigned long long for the es_status flags; this requires
      that we pass 64-bit values around which is painful on 32-bit systems.
      Instead pass the extent status flags around using the low 4 bits of an
      unsigned int, and shift them into place when we are reading or writing
      es_pblk.

      jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_file_inode() · a361293f
      Jan Kara authored
      Commit 0713ed0c added
      jbd2_journal_file_inode() call into ext4_block_zero_page_range().
      However that function gets called from truncate path and thus inode
      needn't have jinode attached - that happens in ext4_file_open() but
      the file needn't be ever open since mount. Calling
      jbd2_journal_file_inode() without jinode attached results in the oops.
      
      We fix the problem by attaching jinode to inode also in ext4_truncate()
      and ext4_punch_hole() when we are going to zero out partial blocks.

      jbd2: Fix use after free after error in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() · 91aa11fa
      Jan Kara authored
      When jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() returns error,
      __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() stops the handle. However callers of this
      function do not count with that fact and still happily used now freed
      handle. This use after free can result in various issues but very likely
      we oops soon.
      
      The motivation of adding __ext4_journal_stop() into
      __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() in commit 9ea7a0df seems to be only to
      improve error reporting. So replace __ext4_journal_stop() with
      ext4_journal_abort_handle() which was there before that commit and add
      WARN_ON_ONCE() to dump stack to provide useful information.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
        controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
        fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
        so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
        that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
      
        The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
        BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
        do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
        and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
        with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
      
        However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
        not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
        methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
        attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
        in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
        methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
        8 compatibility.
      
        [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
          says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
          problems to show up elsewhere ]
      
        Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
        Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
        individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
        that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
        Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
        likes that part).
      
        The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
        which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
        compatible with Windows 8.
      
        The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
        by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
        be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
        Thinkpads).
      
        The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
        over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
        Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
        Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
      
        The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
        the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
        automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
        GUI.
      
        Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
        systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
        backlight control problems in the future.
      
         - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
           used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
           that we are compatible with Windows 8.
      
         - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
           the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
           (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).
      
         - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
           workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
           thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
           developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
           and Aaron Lu.
      
         - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
           the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
           automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
           by GUI"

      Zheng Liu authored
      When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
      The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
      this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
      inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	int fd;
      
      	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
      	if (fd < 0) {
      		perror("open ");
      		return -1;
      	}
      	close(fd);
      	return 0;
      }

      ext4: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag · e94bd349
      Zheng Liu authored
      When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
      The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
      this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
      inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	int fd;
      
      	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
      	if (fd < 0) {
      		perror("open ");
      		return -1;
      	}
      	close(fd);
      	return 0;
      }
      
      The oops message looks like this:

      Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
      will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink.  So this commit
      tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.

        I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers
        who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR
        still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver
        pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up.  Deleting it now
        prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that
        will never go anywhere.
      
        It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that
        happened in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat.  :)"

      livelock avoidance in sget() · acfec9a5
      Al Viro authored
      Eric Sandeen has found a nasty livelock in sget() - take a mount(2) about
      to fail.  The superblock is on ->fs_supers, ->s_umount is held exclusive,
      ->s_active is 1.  Along comes two more processes, trying to mount the same
      thing; sget() in each is picking that superblock, bumping ->s_count and
      trying to grab ->s_umount.  ->s_active is 3 now.  Original mount(2)
      finally gets to deactivate_locked_super() on failure; ->s_active is 2,
      superblock is still ->fs_supers because shutdown will *not* happen until
      ->s_active hits 0.  ->s_umount is dropped and now we have two processes
      chasing each other:
      s_active = 2, A acquired ->s_umount, B blocked
      A sees that the damn thing is stillborn, does deactivate_locked_super()
      s_active = 1, A drops ->s_umount, B gets it
      A restarts the search and finds the same superblock.  And bumps it ->s_active.
      s_active = 2, B holds ->s_umount, A blocked on trying to get it
      ... and we are in the earlier situation with A and B switched places.
      
      The root cause, of course, is that ->s_active should not grow until we'd
      got MS_BORN.  Then failing ->mount() will have deactivate_locked_super()
      shut the damn thing down.  Fortunately, it's easy to do - the key point
      is that grab_super() is called only for superblocks currently on ->fs_supers,
      so it can bump ->s_count and grab ->s_umount first, then check MS_BORN and
      bump ->s_active; we must never increment ->s_count for superblocks past
      ->kill_sb(), but grab_super() is never called for those.
      
      The bug is pretty old; we would've caught it by now, if not for accidental
      exclusion between sget() for block filesystems; the things like cgroup or
      e.g. mtd-based filesystems don't have anything of that sort, so they get
      bitten.  The right way to deal with that is obviously to fix sget()...
