__btrfs_cow_block(), the only caller of update_ref_for_cow() will BUG_ON() any error return. Instead, we can go read-only fs as update_ref_for_cow() manipulates disk data in a way which doesn't look like it's easily rolled back. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de>

update_ref_for_cow() will BUG_ON() after it's call to btrfs_lookup_extent_info() if no existing references are found. Since refs are computed directly from disk, this should be treated as a corruption instead of a logic error. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de>

All callers of __finish_chunk_alloc() BUG_ON() return value, so it's trivial for us to always bubble up any errors caught in __finish_chunk_alloc() to be caught there. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de>

Unfortunately it isn't enough to just exit here - the kzalloc() happens in a loop and the allocated items are added to a linked list whose head is passed in from the caller. To fix the BUG_ON() and also provide the semantic that the list passed in is only modified on success, I create function-local temporary list that we add items too. If no error is met, that list is spliced to the callers at the end of the function. Otherwise the list will be walked and all items freed before the error value is returned. I did a simple test on this patch by forcing an error at the kzalloc() point and verifying that when this hits (git clone seemed to exercise this), the function throws the proper error. Unfortunately but predictably, we later hit a BUG_ON(ret) type line that still hasn't been fixed up ;) Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

The only caller of update_ref_for_cow() is __btrfs_cow_block() which was originally ignoring any return values. update_ref_for_cow() however doesn't look like a candidate to become a void function - there are a few places where errors can occur. So instead I changed update_ref_for_cow() to bubble all errors up (instead of BUG_ON). __btrfs_cow_block() was then updated to catch and BUG_ON() any errors from update_ref_for_cow(). The end effect is that we have no change in behavior, but about 8 different places where a BUG_ON(ret) was removed. Obviously a future patch will have to address the BUG_ON() in __btrfs_cow_block().

This is called from only one place - create_subvol() which passes errors safely back out to it's caller, btrfs_mksubvol where they are handled. Additionally, btrfs_create_subvol_root() itself bug's needlessly from error return of btrfs_update_inode(). Since create_subvol() was fixed to catch errors we can bubble this one up too.

Commit cb1b69f4 (Btrfs: forced readonly when btrfs_drop_snapshot() fails) made btrfs_drop_snapshot return void because there were no callers checking the return value. That is the wrong order to handle error propogation since the caller will have no idea that an error has occured and continue on as if nothing went wrong. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

This pushes failures from the submit_bio_hook callbacks, btrfs_submit_bio_hook and btree_submit_bio_hook into the callers, including callers of submit_one_bio where it catches the failures with BUG_ON. It also pushes up through the ->readpage_io_failed_hook to end_bio_extent_writepage where the error is already caught with BUG_ON. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
-
Jeff Mahoney authored
In submit_extent_page, there's a visually noisy if statement that, in the midst of other conditions, does the tree dependency for tree->ops and tree->ops->merge_bio_hook before calling it, and then another condition afterwards. If an error is returned from merge_bio_hook, there's no way to catch it. It's considered a routine "1" return value instead of a failure. This patch factors out the dependency check into a new local merge_bio routine and BUG's on an error. The if statement is less noisy as a side- effect. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
-
Jeff Mahoney authored
btrfs_submit_bio_hook currently calls btrfs_bio_wq_end_io in either case of an if statement that determines one of the arguments. This patch moves the function call outside of the if statement and uses it to only determine the different argument. This allows us to catch an error in one place in a more visually obvious way.

There is only one caller of clear_extent_bit that checks the return value and it only checks if it's negative. Since there are no users of the returned bits functionality of clear_extent_bit, stop returning it and avoid complicating error handling. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

The only error condition in clean_tree_block is an accounting bug. Returning without modifying dirty_metadata_bytes and as if the cleaning as been performed may cause problems later so it should panic instead. It should probably be a BUG_ON but we have btrfs_panic now. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

Correctness fix: The kfree calls in the add_delayed_* functions free the node that's passed into it, but the node is a member of another structure. It works because it's always the first member of the containing structure, but it should really be using the containing structure itself. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

The *_state functions can only return 0 or -EEXIST. This patch addresses the cases where those functions returning -EEXIST represent a locking failure. It handles them by panicking with an appropriate error message. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
-
Jeff Mahoney authored
As part of the effort to eliminate BUG_ON as an error handling technique, we need to determine which errors are actual logic errors, which are on-disk corruption, and which are normal runtime errors e.g. -ENOMEM. Annotating these error cases is helpful to understand and report them. This patch adds a btrfs_panic() routine that will either panic or BUG depending on the new -ofatal_errors={panic,bug} mount option. Since there are still so many BUG_ONs, it defaults to BUG for now but I expect that to change once the error handling effort has made significant progress.

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to crashes, particularly during shutdown. Reported by Dave Jones and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this means requeue the packet. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to leaks. Fix from RonQing Li. 5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. 6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x, from Michal Schmidt." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expiration ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu. wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware() bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows ipv6: fix icmp6_dst_alloc()

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG: kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179! With a backtrace of: afs_free_call afs_make_call afs_fs_store_data afs_vnode_store_data afs_write_back_from_locked_page afs_writepages_region afs_writepages The cause is: ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue)); Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we are exceeding our disk quota: rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32) So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't freed all the resources for the call. By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.
