At xfs_iext_realloc_direct(), the new_size is changed by adding if_bytes if originally the extent records are stored at the inline extent buffer, and we have to switch from it to a direct extent list for those new allocated extents, this is wrong. e.g, Create a file with three extents which was showing as following, xfs_io -f -c "truncate 100m" /xfs/testme for i in $(seq 0 5 10); do offset=$(($i * $((1 << 20)))) xfs_io -c "pwrite $offset 1m" /xfs/testme done Inline ------ irec: if_bytes bytes_diff new_size 1st 0 16 16 2nd 16 16 32 Switching --------- rnew_size 3rd 32 16 48 + 32 = 80 roundup=128 In this case, the desired value of new_size should be 48, and then it will be roundup to 64 and be assigned to rnew_size. However, this issue has been covered by resetting the if_bytes to the new_size which is calculated at the begnning of xfs_iext_add() before leaving out this function, and in turn make the rnew_size correctly again. Hence, this can not be detected via xfstestes. This patch fix above problem and revise the new_size comments at xfs_iext_realloc_direct() to make it more readable. Also, fix the comments while switching from the inline extent buffer to a direct extent list to reflect this change.

The determination of whether a directory entry contains a dtype field originally was dependent on the filesystem having CRCs enabled. This meant that the format for dtype beign enabled could be determined by checking the directory block magic number rather than doing a feature bit check. This was useful in that it meant that we didn't need to pass a struct xfs_mount around to functions that were already supplied with a directory block header. Unfortunately, the introduction of dtype fields into the v4 structure via a feature bit meant this "use the directory block magic number" method of discriminating the dirent entry sizes is broken. Hence we need to convert the places that use magic number checks to use feature bit checks so that they work correctly and not by chance. The current code works on v4 filesystems only because the dirent size roundup covers the extra byte needed by the dtype field in the places where this problem occurs.

Commit f5ea1100 cleans up the disk to host conversions for node directory entries, but because a variable is reused in xfs_node_toosmall() the next node is not correctly found. If the original node is small enough (<= 3/8 of the node size), this change may incorrectly cause a node collapse when it should not. That will cause an assert in xfstest generic/319: Assertion failed: first <= last && last < BBTOB(bp->b_length), file: /root/newest/xfs/fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c, line: 569 Keep the original node header to get the correct forward node. (When a node is considered for a merge with a sibling, it overwrites the sibling pointers of the original incore nodehdr with the sibling's pointers. This leads to loop considering the original node as a merge candidate with itself in the second pass, and so it incorrectly determines a merge should occur.)

After a fair number of xfstests runs, xfs/182 started to fail regularly with a corrupted directory - a directory read verifier was failing after recovery because it found a block with a XARM magic number (remote attribute block) rather than a directory data block. The first time I saw this repeated failure I did /something/ and the problem went away, so I was never able to find the underlying problem. Test xfs/182 failed again today, and I found the root cause before I did /something else/ that made it go away. Tracing indicated that the block in question was being correctly logged, the log was being flushed by sync, but the buffer was not being written back before the shutdown occurred. Tracing also indicated that log recovery was also reading the block, but then never writing it before log recovery invalidated the cache, indicating that it was not modified by log recovery. More detailed analysis of the corpse indicated that the filesystem had a uuid of "a4131074-1872-4cac-9323-2229adbcb886" but the XARM block had a uuid of "8f32f043-c3c9-e7f8-f947-4e7f989c05d3", which indicated it was a block from an older filesystem. The reason that log recovery didn't replay it was that the LSN in the XARM block was larger than the LSN of the transaction being replayed, and so the block was not overwritten by log recovery. Hence, log recovery cant blindly trust the magic number and LSN in the block - it must verify that it belongs to the filesystem being recovered before using the LSN. i.e. if the UUIDs don't match, we need to unconditionally recovery the change held in the log. This patch was first tested on a block device that was repeatedly causing xfs/182 to fail with the same failure on the same block with the same directory read corruption signature (i.e. XARM block). It did not fail, and hasn't failed since. Signed-off-by: NDave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NBen Myers <bpm@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NBen Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

When we free an inode, we do so via RCU. As an RCU lookup can occur at any time before we free an inode, and that lookup takes the inode flags lock, we cannot safely assert that the flags lock is not held just before marking it dead and running call_rcu() to free the inode. We check on allocation of a new inode structre that the lock is not held, so we still have protection against locks being leaked and hence not correctly initialised when allocated out of the slab. Hence just remove the assert... Signed-off-by: NDave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NMark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NBen Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic. This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing things from the LRU. The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular sanity checking.

When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages. In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by fscache. With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the page lock in cifs_write_begin().

It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the two are commonly the same. With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd() system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention anywhere. Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone. But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and real cleanup.

This is OK as no change to the protected data structure is being made. It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while an exclusive reader lock is taken. This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand. This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range() that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called. This handler works as follows: * Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page) * Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate) * If yes: Return that page * If no: Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page Signed-off-by: NMichael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: NMichael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent. - "retval >= 0" simply returns - "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because binfmt_lock was already re-acquired - "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and relies on the same check after the main loop Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement. need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and impossible list_empty(&formats) case. It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this should be removed.

A separate one-liner for better documentation. It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec /sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check. However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right: 1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user space modprobe process should report the correct exit code. But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change. 2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller which doesn't make sense. 3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more ugly.

search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto" but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho. We still need to check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break" for !CONFIG_MODULES case. Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry". The code looks much simpler and we do not even need ifdef's, gcc can optimize out the "if (need_retry)" block if !IS_ENABLED().

search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move it into __register_binfmt(). Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.

When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the same. We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once. In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in do_execve_common's error path.

A separate one-liner with the minor fix. PROC_EVENT_EXEC reports the "exec" event, but this message is sent at least twice if search_binary_handler() is called by ->load_binary() recursively, say, load_script(). Move it to exec_binprm(), this is "depth == 0" code too.

Nobody except search_binary_handler() should touch ->recursion_depth, "int depth" buys nothing but complicates the code, kill it. Probably we should also kill "fn" and the !NULL check, ->load_binary should be always defined. And it can not go away after read_unlock() or this code is buggy anyway.
