      modules: fix modparam async_probe request · e2f712dc
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      commit 4355efbd upstream.

Commit f2411da7 ("driver-core: add driver module
asynchronous probe support") added async probe support,
in two forms:

  * in-kernel driver specification annotation
  * generic async_probe module parameter (modprobe foo async_probe)

To support the generic kernel parameter parse_args() was
extended via commit ecc86170 ("module: add extra
argument for parse_params() callback") however commit
failed to f2411da7 failed to add the required argument.

This causes a crash then whenever async_probe generic
module parameter is used. This was overlooked when the
form in which in-kernel async probe support was reworked
a bit... Fix this as originally intended.

      timerfd: Handle relative timers with CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES proper · 565f2229
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      commit b62526ed upstream.

Helge reported that a relative timer can return a remaining time larger than
the programmed relative time on parisc and other architectures which have
CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES set. This happens because we add a jiffie to the resulting
expiry time to prevent short timeouts.

Use the new function hrtimer_expires_remaining_adjusted() to calculate the
remaining time. It takes that extra added time into account for relative
timers.

      prctl: take mmap sem for writing to protect against others · e5e99792
      Mateusz Guzik authored 
      commit ddf1d398 upstream.

An unprivileged user can trigger an oops on a kernel with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

proc_pid_cmdline_read takes mmap_sem for reading and obtains args + env
start/end values. These get sanity checked as follows:
        BUG_ON(arg_start > arg_end);
        BUG_ON(env_start > env_end);

These can be changed by prctl_set_mm. Turns out also takes the semaphore for
reading, effectively rendering it useless. This results in:

  ---[ end trace 97882617ae9c6818 ]---

Turns out there are instances where the code just reads aformentioned
values without locking whatsoever - namely environ_read and get_cmdline.

Interestingly these functions look quite resilient against bogus values,
but I don't believe this should be relied upon.

The first patch gets rid of the oops bug by grabbing mmap_sem for
writing.

The second patch is optional and puts locking around aformentioned
consumers for safety.  Consumers of other fields don't seem to benefit
from similar treatment and are left untouched.

This patch (of 2):

The code was taking the semaphore for reading, which does not protect
against readers nor concurrent modifications.

The problem could cause a sanity checks to fail in procfs's cmdline
reader, resulting in an OOPS.

Note that some functions perform an unlocked read of various mm fields,
but they seem to be fine despite possible modificaton.

      xfs: log mount failures don't wait for buffers to be released · f86701c4
      Dave Chinner authored 
      commit 85bec546 upstream.

Recently I've been seeing xfs/051 fail on 1k block size filesystems.
Trying to trace the events during the test lead to the problem going
away, indicating that it was a race condition that lead to this
ASSERT failure:

XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 156
.....
[<ffffffff814e1257>] xfs_free_perag+0x87/0xb0
[<ffffffff814e21b9>] xfs_mountfs+0x4d9/0x900
[<ffffffff814e5dff>] xfs_fs_fill_super+0x3bf/0x4d0

[<ffffffff811d90a8>] mount_fs+0x38/0x170
[<ffffffff811f4347>] vfs_kern_mount+0x67/0x120
[<ffffffff811f7018>] do_mount+0x218/0xd60
[<ffffffff811f7e5b>] SyS_mount+0x8b/0xd0

When I finally caught it with tracing enabled, I saw that AG 2 had
an elevated reference count and a buffer was responsible for it. I
tracked down the specific buffer, and found that it was missing the
final reference count release that would put it back on the LRU and
hence be found by xfs_wait_buftarg() calls in the log mount failure
handling.

The last four traces for the buffer before the assert were (trimmed
for relevance)

kworker/0:1-5259   xfs_buf_iodone:        hold 2  lock 0 flags ASYNC
kworker/0:1-5259   xfs_buf_ioerror:       hold 2  lock 0 error -5
mount-7163	   xfs_buf_lock_done:     hold 2  lock 0 flags ASYNC
mount-7163	   xfs_buf_unlock:        hold 2  lock 1 flags ASYNC

This is an async write that is completing, so there's nobody waiting
for it directly.  Hence we call xfs_buf_relse() once all the
processing is complete. That does:

static inline void xfs_buf_relse(xfs_buf_t *bp)
{
	xfs_buf_unlock(bp);
	xfs_buf_rele(bp);
}

Now, it's clear that mount is waiting on the buffer lock, and that
it has been released by xfs_buf_relse() and gained by mount. This is
expected, because at this point the mount process is in
xfs_buf_delwri_submit() waiting for all the IO it submitted to
complete.

The mount process, however, is waiting on the lock for the buffer
because it is in xfs_buf_delwri_submit(). This waits for IO
completion, but it doesn't wait for the buffer reference owned by
the IO to go away. The mount process collects all the completions,
fails the log recovery, and the higher level code then calls
xfs_wait_buftarg() to free all the remaining buffers in the
filesystem.

The issue is that on unlocking the buffer, the scheduler has decided
that the mount process has higher priority than the the kworker
thread that is running the IO completion, and so immediately
switched contexts to the mount process from the semaphore unlock
code, hence preventing the kworker thread from finishing the IO
completion and releasing the IO reference to the buffer.

Hence by the time that xfs_wait_buftarg() is run, the buffer still
has an active reference and so isn't on the LRU list that the
function walks to free the remaining buffers. Hence we miss that
buffer and continue onwards to tear down the mount structures,
at which time we get find a stray reference count on the perag
structure. On a non-debug kernel, this will be ignored and the
structure torn down and freed. Hence when the kworker thread is then
rescheduled and the buffer released and freed, it will access a
freed perag structure.

The problem here is that when the log mount fails, we still need to
quiesce the log to ensure that the IO workqueues have returned to
idle before we run xfs_wait_buftarg(). By synchronising the
workqueues, we ensure that all IO completions are fully processed,
not just to the point where buffers have been unlocked. This ensures
we don't end up in the situation above.

      Revert "xfs: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xfsaild kthread" · 16f14a28
      Dave Chinner authored 
      commit 3e85286e upstream.

This reverts commit 24ba16bb as it
prevents machines from suspending. This regression occurs when the
xfsaild is idle on entry to suspend, and so there s no activity to
wake it from it's idle sleep and hence see that it is supposed to
freeze. Hence the freezer times out waiting for it and suspend is
cancelled.

There is no obvious fix for this short of freezing the filesystem
properly, so revert this change for now.

      xfs: inode recovery readahead can race with inode buffer creation · 7530e6fd
      Dave Chinner authored 
      commit b79f4a1c upstream.

When we do inode readahead in log recovery, we do can do the
readahead before we've replayed the icreate transaction that stamps
the buffer with inode cores. The inode readahead verifier catches
this and marks the buffer as !done to indicate that it doesn't yet
contain valid inodes.

In adding buffer error notification  (i.e. setting b_error = -EIO at
the same time as as we clear the done flag) to such a readahead
verifier failure, we can then get subsequent inode recovery failing
with this error:

XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0xa00060 ("xlog_recover_do..(read#2)") error 5 numblks 32

This occurs when readahead completion races with icreate item replay
such as:

	inode readahead
		find buffer
		lock buffer
		submit RA io
	....
	icreate recovery
	    xfs_trans_get_buffer
		find buffer
		lock buffer
		<blocks on RA completion>
	.....
	<ra completion>
		fails verifier
		clear XBF_DONE
		set bp->b_error = -EIO
		release and unlock buffer
	<icreate gains lock>
	icreate initialises buffer
	marks buffer as done
	adds buffer to delayed write queue
	releases buffer

At this point, we have an initialised inode buffer that is up to
date but has an -EIO state registered against it. When we finally
get to recovering an inode in that buffer:

	inode item recovery
	    xfs_trans_read_buffer
		find buffer
		lock buffer
		sees XBF_DONE is set, returns buffer
	    sees bp->b_error is set
		fail log recovery!

Essentially, we need xfs_trans_get_buf_map() to clear the error status of
the buffer when doing a lookup. This function returns uninitialised
buffers, so the buffer returned can not be in an error state and
none of the code that uses this function expects b_error to be set
on return. Indeed, there is an ASSERT(!bp->b_error); in the
transaction case in xfs_trans_get_buf_map() that would have caught
this if log recovery used transactions....

This patch firstly changes the inode readahead failure to set -EIO
on the buffer, and secondly changes xfs_buf_get_map() to never
return a buffer with an error state set so this first change doesn't
cause unexpected log recovery failures.

      libxfs: pack the agfl header structure so XFS_AGFL_SIZE is correct · 888959f2
      Darrick J. Wong authored 
      commit 96f859d5 upstream.

Because struct xfs_agfl is 36 bytes long and has a 64-bit integer
inside it, gcc will quietly round the structure size up to the nearest
64 bits -- in this case, 40 bytes.  This results in the XFS_AGFL_SIZE
macro returning incorrect results for v5 filesystems on 64-bit
machines (118 items instead of 119).  As a result, a 32-bit xfs_repair
will see garbage in AGFL item 119 and complain.

Therefore, tell gcc not to pad the structure so that the AGFL size
calculation is correct.

This patch fixes kernel crash at removing directory which contains
whiteouts from lower layers.

Cache of directory content passed as "list" contains entries from all
layers, including whiteouts from lower layers. So, lookup in upper dir
(moved into work at this stage) will return negative entry. Plus this
cache is filled long before and we can race with external removal.

Example:
 mkdir -p lower0/dir lower1/dir upper work overlay
 touch lower0/dir/a lower0/dir/b
 mknod lower1/dir/a c 0 0
 mount -t overlay none overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,upperdir=upper,workdir=work
