2008-04-18ocfs2: Split o2cb code from generic stack functions.Joel Becker
Split off the o2cb-specific funtionality from the generic stack glue calls. This is a precurser to wrapping the o2cb functionality in an operations vector. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2008-04-18ocfs2: Abstract out a debugging function for underlying dlms.Joel Becker
dlmglue.c was still referencing a raw o2dlm lksb in one instance. Let's create a generic ocfs2_dlm_dump_lksb() function. This allows underlying DLMs to print whatever they want about their lock. We then move the o2dlm dump into stackglue.c where it belongs. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2008-04-18ocfs2: Remove CANCELGRANT from the view of dlmglue.Joel Becker
o2dlm has the non-standard behavior of providing a cancel callback (unlock_ast) even when the cancel has failed (the locking operation succeeded without canceling). This is called CANCELGRANT after the status code sent to the callback. fs/dlm does not provide this callback, so dlmglue must be changed to live without it. o2dlm_unlock_ast_wrapper() in stackglue now ignores CANCELGRANT calls. Because dlmglue no longer sees CANCELGRANT, ocfs2_unlock_ast() no longer needs to check for it. ocfs2_locking_ast() must catch that a cancel was tried and clear the cancel state. Making these changes opens up a locking race. dlmglue uses the the OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY flag to ensure only one thread is calling the dlm at any one time. But dlmglue must unlock the lockres before calling into the dlm. In the small window of time between unlocking the lockres and calling the dlm, the downconvert thread can try to cancel the lock. The downconvert thread is checking the OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY flag - it doesn't know that ocfs2_dlm_lock() has not yet been called. Because ocfs2_dlm_lock() has not yet been called, the cancel operation will just be a no-op. There's nothing to cancel. With CANCELGRANT, dlmglue uses the CANCELGRANT callback to clear up the cancel state. When it comes around again, it will retry the cancel. Eventually, the first thread will have called into ocfs2_dlm_lock(), and either the lock or the cancel will succeed. The downconvert thread can then do its downconvert. Without CANCELGRANT, there is nothing to clean up the cancellation state. The downconvert thread does not know to retry its operations. More importantly, the original lock may be blocking on the other node that is trying to cancel us. With neither able to make progress, the ast is never called and the cancellation state is never cleaned up that way. dlmglue is deadlocked. The OCFS2_LOCK_PENDING flag is introduced to remedy this window. It is set at the same time OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY is. Thus, the downconvert thread can check whether the lock is cancelable. If not, it just loops around to try again. Once ocfs2_dlm_lock() is called, the thread then clears OCFS2_LOCK_PENDING and wakes the downconvert thread. Now, if the downconvert thread finds the lock BUSY, it can safely try to cancel it. Whether the cancel works or not, the state will be properly set and the lock processing can continue.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Fill node number during cluster stack initMark Fasheh
It doesn't make sense to query for a node number before connecting to the cluster stack. This should be safe to do because node_num is only just printed, and we're actually only moving the setting of node num a small amount further in the mount process.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Move o2hb functionality into the stack glue.Joel Becker
The last bit of classic stack used directly in ocfs2 code is o2hb. Specifically, the check for heartbeat during mount and the call to ocfs2_hb_ctl during unmount. We create an extra API, ocfs2_cluster_hangup(), to encapsulate the call to ocfs2_hb_ctl. Other stacks will just leave hangup() empty. The check for heartbeat is moved into ocfs2_cluster_connect(). It will be matched by a similar check for other stacks. With this change, only stackglue.c includes cluster/ headers.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Abstract out node number queries.Joel Becker
ocfs2 asks the cluster stack for the local node's node number for two reasons; to fill the slot map and to print it. While the slot map isn't necessary for userspace cluster stacks, the printing is very nice for debugging. Thus we add ocfs2_cluster_this_node() as a generic API to get this value. It is anticipated that the slot map will not be used under a userspace cluster stack, so validity checks of the node num only need to exist in the slot map code. Otherwise, it just gets used and printed as an opaque value.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Introduce the new ocfs2_cluster_connect/disconnect() API.Joel Becker
This step introduces a cluster stack agnostic API for initializing and exiting. fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c no longer uses o2cb/o2dlm knowledge to connect to the stack. It is all handled in stackglue.c. heartbeat.c no longer needs to know how it gets called. ocfs2_do_node_down() is now a clean recovery trigger. The big gotcha is the ordering of initializations and de-initializations done underneath ocfs2_cluster_connect(). ocfs2_dlm_init() used to do all o2dlm initialization in one block. Thus, the o2dlm functionality of ocfs2_cluster_connect() is very straightforward. ocfs2_dlm_shutdown(), however, did a few things between de-registration of the eviction callback and actually shutting down the domain. Now de-registration and shutdown of the domain are wrapped within the single ocfs2_cluster_disconnect() call. I've checked the code paths to make sure we can safely tear down things in ocfs2_dlm_shutdown() before calling ocfs2_cluster_disconnect(). The filesystem has already set itself to ignore the callback. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2008-04-18ocfs2: New slot map formatJoel Becker
The old slot map had a few limitations: - It was limited to one block, so the maximum slot count was 255. - Each slot was signed 16bits, limiting node numbers to INT16_MAX. - An empty slot was marked by the magic 0xFFFF (-1). The new slot map format provides 32bit node numbers (UINT32_MAX), a separate space to mark a slot in use, and extra room to grow. The slot map is now bounded by i_size, not a block.

2008-04-18ocfs2: De-magic the in-memory slot map.Joel Becker
The in-memory slot map uses the same magic as the on-disk one. There is a special value to mark a slot as invalid. It relies on the size of certain types and so on. Write a new in-memory map that keeps validity as a separate field. Outside of the I/O functions, OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT now means what it is supposed to. It also is no longer tied to the type size.

2008-04-18ocfs2: Change the recovery map to an array of node numbers.Joel Becker
The old recovery map was a bitmap of node numbers. This was sufficient for the maximum node number of 254. Going forward, we want node numbers to be UINT32. Thus, we need a new recovery map. Note that we can't keep track of slots here. We must write down the node number to recovery *before* we get the locks needed to convert a node number into a slot number. The recovery map is now an array of unsigned ints, max_slots in size. It moves to journal.c with the rest of recovery. Because it needs to be initialized, we move all of recovery initialization into a new function, ocfs2_recovery_init(). This actually cleans up ocfs2_initialize_super() a little as well. Following on, recovery cleaup becomes part of ocfs2_recovery_exit(). A number of node map functions are rendered obsolete and are removed. Finally, waiting on recovery is wrapped in a function rather than naked checks on the recovery_event. This is a cleanup from Mark.

The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev <akorolev@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko <vasiliy.leonenko@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-14locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields
Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect sys_io_geteventsRoland McGrath
Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs.

2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

2008-04-04Be more careful about marking buffers dirtyLinus Torvalds
Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe. Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually hit the disk. Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still wrong. Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely to actually hit the optimized case in the first place). I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

2008-03-28afs: prevent double cell registrationSven Schnelle
kafs doesn't check if the cell already exists - so if you do an echo "add newcell.org 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/cells it will try to create this cell again. kobject will also complain about a double registration. To prevent such problems, return -EEXIST in that case.

2008-03-28vfs: fix data leak in nobh_write_end()Dmitri Monakhov
Current nobh_write_end() implementation ignore partial writes(copied < len) case if page was fully mapped and simply mark page as Uptodate, which is totally wrong because area [pos+copied, pos+len) wasn't updated explicitly in previous write_begin call. It simply contains garbage from pagecache and result in data leakage. #TEST_CASE_BEGIN: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In fact issue triggered by classical testcase open("/mnt/test", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3 ftruncate(3, 409600) = 0 writev(3, [{"a", 1}, {NULL, 4095}], 2) = 1 ##TESTCASE_SOURCE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <errno.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, ret; void* p; struct iovec iov[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666); ftruncate(fd, 409600); iov[0].iov_base="a"; iov[0].iov_len=1; iov[1].iov_base=NULL; iov[1].iov_len=4096; ret = writev(fd, iov, sizeof(iov)/sizeof(struct iovec)); printf("writev = %d, err = %d\n", ret, errno); return 0; } ##TESTCASE RESULT: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@ts63 ~]# mount | grep mnt2 /dev/mapper/test on /mnt2 type ext2 (rw,nobh) [root@ts63 ~]# /tmp/writev /mnt2/test writev = 1, err = 0 [root@ts63 ~]# hexdump -C /mnt2/test 00000000 61 65 62 6f 6f 74 00 00 f0 b9 b4 59 3a 00 00 00 |aeboot.....Y:...| 00000010 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000020 df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df |................| 00000030 3a 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |:...*...!.......| 00000040 60 c0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 40 4a 8d 00 00 00 00 00 |`.......@J......| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000060 74 69 6d 65 20 64 64 20 69 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f |time dd if=/dev/| 00000070 6c 6f 6f 70 30 20 20 6f 66 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 6e |loop0 of=/dev/n| skip.. 00000f50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........1.......| 00000f60 6d 6b 66 73 2e 65 78 74 33 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 |mkfs.ext3 /dev/v| 00000f70 7a 76 67 2f 74 65 73 74 20 2d 62 34 30 39 36 00 |zvg/test -b4096.| 00000f80 a0 fe 8c 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........!.......| 00000f90 23 31 32 30 35 39 35 30 34 30 34 00 3a 00 00 00 |#1205950404.:...| 00000fa0 20 00 8d 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | .......!.......| 00000fb0 d0 cf 8c 00 00 00 00 00 10 d0 8c 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000fc0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........A.......| 00000fd0 6d 6f 75 6e 74 20 2f 64 65 76 2f 76 7a 76 67 2f |mount /dev/vzvg/| 00000fe0 74 65 73 74 20 20 2f 76 7a 20 2d 6f 20 64 61 74 |test /vz -o dat| 00000ff0 61 3d 77 72 69 74 65 62 61 63 6b 00 00 00 00 00 |a=writeback.....| 00001000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros. #TEST_CASE_END Attached patch: - Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller, This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero *fadata pointer at the same time. - Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case. - Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers. This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin was called previously.
