2009-08-21Re-introduce page mapping check in mark_buffer_dirty()Linus Torvalds
In commit a8e7d49aa7be728c4ae241a75a2a124cdcabc0c5 ("Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside __set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers. That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable. And indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen. Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla entries that look similar: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876 and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate). I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.

* 'btrfs' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: btrfs: fix inode rbtree corruption
2009-08-21btrfs: fix inode rbtree corruptionFrom: Nick Piggin
Node may not be inserted over existing node. This causes inode tree corruption and I was seeing crashes in inode_tree_del which I can not reproduce after this patch. The other way to fix this would be to tie inode lifetime in the rbtree with inode while not in freeing state. I had a look at this but it is not so trivial at this point. At least this patch gets things working again.

2009-08-18mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"KOSAKI Motohiro
The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

But the nilfs_put_sbinfo() mistakenly used atomic_dec_and_test() function to check the reference count, and it caused the nilfs_sb_info was freed when user mounted a snapshot twice.

2009-08-17inotify: start watch descriptor count at 1Eric Paris
The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify watches started at 1, not at 0. Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1, just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels it's possible for it to wrap back to 0.

2009-08-17xfs: fix locking in xfs_iget_cache_hitChristoph Hellwig
The locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit currently has numerous problems: - we clear the reclaim tag without i_flags_lock which protects modifications to it - we call inode_init_always which can sleep with pag_ici_lock held (this is oss.sgi.com BZ #819) - we acquire and drop i_flags_lock a lot and thus provide no consistency between the various flags we set/clear under it This patch fixes all that with a major revamp of the locking in the function. The new version acquires i_flags_lock early and only drops it once we need to call into inode_init_always or before calling xfs_ilock. This patch fixes a bug seen in the wild where we race modifying the reclaim tag.

2009-08-15poll/select: initialize triggered field of struct poll_wqueuesGuillaume Knispel
The triggered field of struct poll_wqueues introduced in commit 5f820f648c92a5ecc771a96b3c29aa6e90013bba ("poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep"). It was first set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before. As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not be called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done. This patch initialize triggered to 0 in poll_initwait() so the ->poll() are not called twice before the process goes to sleep when it needs to.

2009-08-12NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...Trond Myklebust
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment() causes an Oops. We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in those cases. Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

In OCFS2, allocator locks rank above transaction start. Thus we cannot extend quota file from inside a transaction less we could deadlock. We solve the problem by starting transaction not already in ocfs2_acquire_dquot() but only in ocfs2_local_read_dquot() and ocfs2_global_read_dquot() and we allocate blocks to quota files before starting the transaction. In case we crash, quota files will just have a few blocks more but that's no problem since we just use them next time we extend the quota file.

In a non-sparse extend, we correctly allocate (and zero) the clusters between the old_i_size and pos, but we don't zero the portions of the cluster we're writing to outside of pos<->len.

2009-08-07Btrfs: fix balancing oops when invalidate_inode_pages2 returns EBUSYYan Zheng
invalidate_inode_pages2_range may return -EBUSY occasionally which results Oops. This patch fixes the issue by moving invalidate_inode_pages2_range into a loop and keeping calling it until the return value is not -EBUSY. The EBUSY return is temporary, and can happen when the btrfs release page function is unable to release a page because the EXTENT_LOCK bit is set.

2009-08-07compat_ioctl: hook up compat handler for FIEMAP ioctlEric Sandeen
The FIEMAP_IOC_FIEMAP mapping ioctl was missing a 32-bit compat handler, which means that 32-bit suerspace on 64-bit kernels cannot use this ioctl command. The structure is nicely aligned, padded, and sized, so it is just this simple. Tested w/ 32-bit ioctl tester (from Josef) on a 64-bit kernel on ext4.

2009-08-07xfs: fix freeing of inodes not yet added to the inode cacheChristoph Hellwig
When freeing an inode that lost race getting added to the inode cache we must not call into ->destroy_inode, because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch uses splits a new xfs_inode_free helper out of xfs_ireclaim and uses that plus __destroy_inode to make sure we really only free the memory allocted for the inode that lost the race, and not mess with the inode cache state.

2009-08-07vfs: add __destroy_inodeChristoph Hellwig
When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree. This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this, the actual fix will be in th next patch. As XFS was the only reason destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net>
2009-08-07vfs: fix inode_init_always calling conventionChristoph Hellwig
Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.
