Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.
In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.
If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.
This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

Use a similar approach to the SMB session sharing. Add a list of tcons
attached to each SMB session. Move the refcount to non-atomic. Protect
all of the above with the cifs_tcp_ses_lock. Add functions to
properly find and put references to the tcons.

Inotify watch removals suck violently.
To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and
ih->mutex. That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all
other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount. We can
*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will
happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially
outliving its superblock.
Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we
can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until
we are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super().
However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with
umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore?
We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait
until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining
for fjords. That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the
window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.
the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading
for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
->s_umount.
We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather
antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed
->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that
->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with
inotify_umount_inodes().
So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just
with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had
to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch
could've been gone already.
That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
whatever's more convenient.
So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
"grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
superblock won't be going away.
And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
concept of inotify to start with.

We do this by abandoning the global list of SMB sessions and instead
moving to a per-server list. This entails adding a new list head to the
TCP_Server_Info struct. The refcounting for the cifsSesInfo is moved to
a non-atomic variable. We have to protect it by a lock anyway, so there's
no benefit to making it an atomic. The list and refcount are protected
by the global cifs_tcp_ses_lock.
The patch also adds a new routines to find and put SMB sessions and
that properly take and put references under the lock.

The code that allows these structs to be shared is extremely racy.
Disable the sharing of SMB and tcon structs for now until we can
come up with a way to do this that's race free.
We want to continue to share TCP sessions, however since they are
required for multiuser mounts. For that, implement a new (hopefully
race-free) scheme. Add a new global list of TCP sessions, and take
care to get a reference to it whenever we're dealing with one.

We're currently declaring both a sockaddr_in and sockaddr6_in on the
stack, but we really only need storage for one of them. Declare a
sockaddr struct and cast it to the proper type. Also, eliminate the
protocolType field in the TCP_Server_Info struct. It's redundant since
we have a sa_family field in the sockaddr anyway.
We may need to revisit this if SCTP is ever implemented, but for now
this will simplify the code.
CIFS over IPv6 also has a number of problems currently. This fixes all
of them that I found. Eventually, it would be nice to move more of the
code to be protocol independent, but this is a start.

In preparation for Jeff's big umount/mount fixes to remove the possibility of
various races in cifs mount and linked list handling of sessions, sockets and
tree connections, this patch cleans up some repetitive code in cifs_mount,
and addresses a problem with ses->status and tcon->tidStatus in which we
were overloading the "need_reconnect" state with other status in that
field. So the "need_reconnect" flag has been broken out from those
two state fields (need reconnect was not mutually exclusive from some of the
other possible tid and ses states). In addition, a few exit cases in
cifs_mount were cleaned up, and a problem with a tcon flag (for lease support)
was not being set consistently for the 2nd mount of the same share

Fixes a regression from commit 0f8e0d9a317406612700426fad3efab0b7bbc467,
"dlm: allow multiple lockspace creates".
An extraneous 'else' slipped into a code fragment being moved from
release_lockspace() to dlm_release_lockspace(). The result of the
unwanted 'else' is that dlm threads and structures are not stopped
and cleaned up when the final dlm lockspace is removed. Trying to
create a new lockspace again afterward will fail with
"kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache dlm_conn" because the cache
was not previously destroyed.

In ocfs2/xattr, we must make sure the xattrs which have the same hash value
exist in the same bucket so that the search schema can work. But in the old
implementation, when we want to extend a bucket, we just move half number of
xattrs to the new bucket. This works in most cases, but if we are lucky
enough we will move 2 xattrs into 2 different buckets. This means that an
xattr from the previous bucket cannot be found anymore. This patch fix this
problem by finding the right position during extending the bucket and extend
an empty bucket if needed.

In ocfs2_page_mkwrite, we return -EINVAL when we found the page mapping
isn't updated, and it will cause the user space program get SIGBUS and
exit. The reason is that during race writeable mmap, we will do
unmap_mapping_range in ocfs2_data_downconvert_worker. The good thing is
that if we reuturn 0 in page_mkwrite, VFS will retry fault and then
call page_mkwrite again, so it is safe to return 0 here.

When we are about to add a new item to a transaction in recovery, we need
to check that it is valid first. Currently we just assert that header
magic number matches, but in production systems that is not present and we
add a corrupted transaction to the list to be processed. This results in a
kernel oops later when processing the corrupted transaction.
Instead, if we detect a corrupted transaction, abort recovery and leave
the user to clean up the mess that has occurred.

When we create a directory, we reserve a number of blocks for the maximum
possible expansion of of the directory due to various btree splits,
freespace allocation, etc. Unfortunately, each allocation is not reflected
in the total number of blocks still available to the transaction, so the
maximal reservation is used over and over again.
This leads to problems where an allocation group has only enough blocks
for *some* of the allocations required for the directory modification.
After the first N allocations, the remaining blocks in the allocation
group drops below the total reservation, and subsequent allocations fail
because the allocator will not allow the allocation to proceed if the AG
does not have the enough blocks available for the entire allocation total.
This results in an ENOSPC occurring after an allocation has already
occurred. This results in aborting the directory operation (leaving the
directory in an inconsistent state) and cancelling a dirty transaction,
which results in a filesystem shutdown.
Avoid the problem by reflecting the number of blocks allocated in any
directory expansion in the total number of blocks available to the
modification in progress. This prevents a directory modification from
being aborted part way through with an ENOSPC.

It's possible to have outstanding xfs_ioend_t's queued when the file size
is zero. This can happen in the direct I/O path when a direct I/O write
fails due to ENOSPC. In this case the xfs_ioend_t will still be queued (ie
xfs_end_io_direct() does not know that the I/O failed so can't force the
xfs_ioend_t to be flushed synchronously).
When we truncate a file on unlink we don't know to wait for these
xfs_ioend_ts and we can have a use-after-free situation if the inode is
reclaimed before the xfs_ioend_t is finally processed.
As was suggested by Dave Chinner lets wait for all I/Os to complete when
truncating the file size to zero.

* 'for-2.6.28' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux:
Fix nfsd truncation of readdir results
|
|
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.
Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.
It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read. Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset. That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir. After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.
So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0. The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.
Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

The LPT may have gaps in it because initially empty LEBs
are not added by mkfs.ubifs - because it does not know how
many there are. Then UBIFS allocates empty LEBs in the
reverse order that they are discovered i.e. they are
added to, and removed from, the front of a list. That
creates a gap in the middle of the LPT.
The function dirtying the LPT tree (for the purpose of
small model garbage collection) assumed that a gap could
only occur at the very end of the LPT and stopped dirtying
prematurely, which in turn resulted in the LPT running
out of space - something that is designed to be impossible.
