2008-10-20jbd: abort when failed to log metadata buffersHidehiro Kawai
If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase. To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers, abort the journal before writing the commit record.

2008-10-20coredump_filter: add hugepage dumpingKOSAKI Motohiro
Presently hugepage's vma has a VM_RESERVED flag in order not to be swapped. But a VM_RESERVED vma isn't core dumped because this flag is often used for some kernel vmas (e.g. vmalloc, sound related). Thus hugepages are never dumped and it can't be debugged easily. Many developers want hugepages to be included into core-dump. However, We can't read generic VM_RESERVED area because this area is often IO mapping area. then these area reading may change device state. it is definitly undesiable side-effect. So adding a hugepage specific bit to the coredump filter is better. It will be able to hugepage core dumping and doesn't cause any side-effect to any i/o devices. In additional, libhugetlb use hugetlb private mapping pages as anonymous page. Then, hugepage private mapping pages should be core dumped by default. Then, /proc/[pid]/core_dump_filter has two new bits. - bit 5 mean hugetlb private mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: yes) - bit 6 mean hugetlb shared mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: no) I tested by following method. % ulimit -c unlimited % ./crash_hugepage 50 % ./crash_hugepage 50 -p % ls -lh % gdb ./crash_hugepage core % % echo 0x43 > /proc/self/coredump_filter % ./crash_hugepage 50 % ./crash_hugepage 50 -p % ls -lh % gdb ./crash_hugepage core #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <string.h> #include "hugetlbfs.h" int main(int argc, char** argv){ char* p; int ch; int mmap_flags = MAP_SHARED; int fd; int nr_pages; while((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "p")) != -1) { switch (ch) { case 'p': mmap_flags &= ~MAP_SHARED; mmap_flags |= MAP_PRIVATE; break; default: /* nothing*/ break; } } argc -= optind; argv += optind; if (argc == 0){ printf("need # of pages\n"); exit(1); } nr_pages = atoi(argv[0]); if (nr_pages < 2) { printf("nr_pages must >2\n"); exit(1); } fd = hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd(); p = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * gethugepagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, mmap_flags, fd, 0); sleep(2); *(p + gethugepagesize()) = 1; /* COW */ sleep(2); /* crash! */ *(int*)0 = 1; return 0; } Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Kawai Hidehiro <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: William Irwin <wli@holomorphy.com> Cc: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-20Ramfs and Ram Disk pages are unevictableLee Schermerhorn
Christoph Lameter pointed out that ram disk pages also clutter the LRU lists. When vmscan finds them dirty and tries to clean them, the ram disk writeback function just redirties the page so that it goes back onto the active list. Round and round she goes... With the ram disk driver [rd.c] replaced by the newer 'brd.c', this is no longer the case, as ram disk pages are no longer maintained on the lru. [This makes them unmigratable for defrag or memory hot remove, but that can be addressed by a separate patch series.] However, the ramfs pages behave like ram disk pages used to, so: Define new address_space flag [shares address_space flags member with mapping's gfp mask] to indicate that the address space contains all unevictable pages. This will provide for efficient testing of ramfs pages in page_evictable(). Also provide wrapper functions to set/test the unevictable state to minimize #ifdefs in ramfs driver and any other users of this facility. Set the unevictable state on address_space structures for new ramfs inodes. Test the unevictable state in page_evictable() to cull unevictable pages. These changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

2008-10-20vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file setsRik van Riel
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

2008-10-179p: fix device file handlingMagnus Deininger
In v9fs_get_inode(), for block, as well as char devices (in theory), the function init_special_inode() is called to set up callback functions for file ops. this function uses the file mode's value to determine whether to use block or char dev functions. In v9fs_inode_from_fid(), the function p9mode2unixmode() is used, but for all devices it initially returns S_IFBLK, then uses v9fs_get_inode() to initialise a new inode, then finally uses v9fs_stat2inode(), which would determine whether the inode is a block or character device. However, at that point init_special_inode() had already decided to use the block device functions, so even if the inode's mode is turned to a character device, the block functions are still used to operate on them. The attached patch simply calls init_special_inode() again for devices after parsing device node data in v9fs_stat2inode() so that the proper functions are used.

2008-10-179p: move dirread to fs layerEric Van Hensbergen
Currently reading a directory is implemented in the client code. This function is not actually a wire operation, but a meta operation which calls read operations and processes the results.

This provides a cleaner separation and will help when we reorganize the client functions and protocol processing methods. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2008-10-179p: adjust 9p vfs write operationEric Van Hensbergen
Currently, the 9p net wire operation ensures that all data is sent by sending multiple packets if the data requested is larger than the msize.

2008-10-179p: consolidate read/write functionsEric Van Hensbergen

2008-10-16pid_ns: de_thread: kill the now unneeded ->child_reaper changeOleg Nesterov
de_thread() checks if the old leader was the ->child_reaper, this is not possible any longer. With the previous patch ->group_leader itself will change ->child_reaper on exit. Henceforth find_new_reaper() is the only function (apart from initialization) which plays with ->child_reaper.

2008-10-16block: sanitize invalid partition table entriesKay Sievers
We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed. Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of: sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800 attempt to access beyond end of device Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk: Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes 1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801 /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk, and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 These warnings are printed to the kernel log: sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-16binfmt_elf_fdpic: convert initial stack alignment to arch_align_stack()Paul Mundt
binfmt_elf_fdpic seems to have grabbed a hard-coded hack from an ancient version of binfmt_elf in order to try and fix up initial stack alignment on multi-threaded x86, which while in addition to being unused, was also pushed down beyond the first set of operations on the stack pointer, negating the entire purpose. These days, we have an architecture independent arch_align_stack(), so we switch to using that instead. Move the initial alignment up before the initial stores while we're at it.

Commit 483fad1c3fa1060d7e6710e84a065ad514571739 ("ELF loader support for auxvec base platform string") introduced AT_BASE_PLATFORM, but only implemented it for binfmt_elf. Given that AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE is unconditionally enlarged for us, and it's only optionally added in for the platforms that set ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, wire it up for binfmt_elf_fdpic, too.

2008-10-16fs/reiserfs: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL testJulien Brunel
In case of error, the function open_xa_dir returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = open_xa_dir(...) ... when != x = E ( * if (x == NULL && ...)

Fix a stack corruption caused by a corrupted hfs filesystem. If the catalog name length is corrupted the memcpy overwrites the catalog btree structure. Since the field is limited to HFS_NAMELEN bytes in the structure and the file format, we throw an error if it is too long.
