      filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs · c4be0c1d
      Takashi Sato 提交于
      Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
      suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
      filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
      replication) while it is mounted.
      
      In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
      and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
      
      If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
      without a commercial filesystem.
      
      So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
      I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
      1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
      2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
         with the storage device's feature.
      3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
      4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
         or the snapshot.
      
      This patch:
      
      VFS:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that they can return an error.
      Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
      freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
      
      ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
      and unlockfs always returns 0.
      
      reiserfs:
      Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
      to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

      ext3: wait on all pending commits in ext3_sync_fs · c87591b7
      Arthur Jones 提交于
      In ext3_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it, but
      there may be one already in progress which will not be synced.
      
      In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are
      delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this
      causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the
      inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super.  Then, before they
      can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the
      dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long
      symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
      userspace.
      
      This can be reproduced with a script created
      by Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>:
      
      	#!/bin/bash
      
      	umount /mnt/test2
      	mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
      	rm -f /mnt/test2/*
      	dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
      	touch
      	/mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
      	ln -s
      	/mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
      	/mnt/test2/link
      	umount /mnt/test2
      	mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
      	ls /mnt/test2/
      	umount /mnt/test2
      
      To ensure all commits are synced, we flush all journal commits now when
      sync_fs'ing ext3.

      ext3: Add support for non-native signed/unsigned htree hash algorithms · 5e1f8c9e
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The original ext3 hash algorithms assumed that variables of type char
      were signed, as God and K&R intended.  Unfortunately, this assumption
      is not true on some architectures.  Userspace support for marking
      filesystems with non-native signed/unsigned chars was added two years
      ago, but the kernel-side support was never added (until now).

      ext3: add an option to control error handling on file data · 0e4fb5e2
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
      the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because most of
      applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
      notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical systems.  On the
      other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
      data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable.  So this patch
      introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
      or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.
      
      If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
      write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
      call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.

      [PATCH] fix races and leaks in vfs_quota_on() users · 77e69dac
      Al Viro 提交于
      * new helper: vfs_quota_on_path(); equivalent of vfs_quota_on() sans the
        pathname resolution.
      * callers of vfs_quota_on() that do their own pathname resolution and
        checks based on it are switched to vfs_quota_on_path(); that way we
        avoid the races.
      * reiserfs leaked dentry/vfsmount references on several failure exits.
