inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one. This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is clear what is actually going on in the function. Hopefully this fixes: [ 20.342058] idr_remove called for id=20 which is not allocated.

Several code paths in reiserfs have a construct like: if (is_direntry_le_ih(ih = B_N_PITEM_HEAD(src, item_num))) ... which, in addition to being ugly, end up causing compiler warnings with gcc 4.4.0. Previous compilers didn't issue a warning. fs/reiserfs/do_balan.c:1273: warning: operation on `aux_ih' may be undefined fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:393: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:421: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:777: warning: operation on `ih' may be undefined I believe this is due to the ih being passed to macros which evaluate the argument more than once. This is old code and we haven't seen any problems with it, but this patch eliminates the warnings. It converts the multiple evaluation macros to static inlines and does a preassignment for the cases that were causing the warnings because that code is just ugly.

Add 'overriderockmode' mount option to indicate that these options should override permissions set in rock ridge extensions.

As Ted pointed out, it can happen that ext3_truncate() returns without removing inode from orphan list. This way we could in some rare cases (like when we get ENOMEM from an allocation in ext3_truncate called because of failed ext3_write_begin) leave the inode on orphan list and that triggers assertion failure on umount. So make ext3_truncate() always remove inode from in-memory orphan list.

Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result readers could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...

One of our users is complaining that his backup tool is upset on ext2 (while it's happy on ext3, xfs, ...) because of the mtime change. The problem is: mkdir foo mkdir bar mkdir foo/a Now under ext2: mv foo/a foo/b changes mtime of 'foo/a' (foo/b after the move). That does not really make sense and it does not happen under any other filesystem I've seen. More complicated is: mv foo/a bar/a This changes mtime of foo/a (bar/a after the move) and it makes some sense since we had to update parent directory pointer of foo/a. But again, no other filesystem does this. So after some thoughts I'd vote for consistency and change ext2 to behave the same as other filesystems. Do not update mtime of a moved directory. Specs don't say anything about it (neither that it should, nor that it should not be updated) and other common filesystems (ext3, ext4, xfs, reiserfs, fat, ...) don't do it. So let's become more consistent. Spotted by ronny.pretzsch@dfs.de, initial fix by Jörn Engel.

This fixes a regression in 2.6.30. I unfortunately accepted a patch time ago, to drop the "current" usage from possible IRQ context, w/out proper thought over it. The patch switched to using the CPU id by bounding the nested call callback with a get_cpu()/put_cpu(). Unfortunately the ep_call_nested() function can be called with a callback that grabs sleepy locks (from own f_op->poll()), that results in epic fails. The following patch uses the proper "context" depending on the path where it is called, and on the kind of callback. This has been reported by Stefan Richter, that has also verified the patch is his previously failing environment.

If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does this for every single pathname component that it looks up. That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in question. ext4 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel Netburst aka 'P4'). For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as well use it. So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries, header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file. [ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit. A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement in lmbench) due to broken caching. ] Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately can cause high latencies. The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too. For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread. When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large, this cause significant load. This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50% on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING. 2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible races with generic_forget_inode() generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races: generic_forget_inode inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE; spin_unlock(&inode_lock); generic_sync_sb_inodes() spin_lock(&inode_lock); __iget(inode); __writeback_single_inode // see non zero i_count may WARN here ==> WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE); spin_unlock(&inode_lock); may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode); The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns early. But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will guarantee that. So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.
