      [CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pages · cea21805
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      Fix RedHat bug 329431
      
      The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes.
      Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious
      ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or
      due to memory pressure.
      
      Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or
      EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to
      the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush,
      there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will
      simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing
      out pages. This can lead to data corruption.
      
      The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's
      very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv
      a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The
      writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a
      setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls
      filemap_write_and_wait,
      which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out.
      Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more
      dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv
      then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the
      original.
      
      CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results
      from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close.
      Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this
      isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush
      operation.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also
      sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check
      the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any
      errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc.
      
      2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written
      out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them.
      
      3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for
      ATTR_SIZE changes.
      
      4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC
      errors when writing out pages.
      
      Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that
      it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

      kernel BUG at fs/nfs/namespace.c:108! - can be triggered by bad server · 4c1fe2f7
      Neil Brown 提交于
      
      Hi Trond,
      
      I have discovered that the BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint:
      
      	BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry));
      
      can be triggered by a misbehaving server.
      
      What happens is the client does a lookup and discoveres that the named
      directory has a different fsid, so it initiates a mount.
      It then performs a GETATTR on the mounted directory and gets a
      different fsid again (due to a bug in the NFS server).
      This causes nfs_follow_mountpoint to be called on the newly mounted
      root, which triggers the BUG_ON.
      
      To duplicate this, have a directory which contains some mountpoints,
      and export that directory with the "crossmnt" flag using nfs-utils
      1.1.1 (or 1.1.0 I think)
      
      The GETATTR on the root of the mounted filesystem will return the
      information for the top exportpoint, while a lookup will return the
      correct information.  This difference causes the NFS client to BUG.
      
      I think the best way to fix this is to trap this possibility early, so
      just before completing the mount in the NFS client, check that it isn't
      going to use nfs_mountpoint_inode_operations.
      As long as i_op will never change once set (is that true?), this
      should be adequately safe.
      
      The following patch shows a possible approach, and it works for me.
      i.e. when the NFS server is misbehaving, I get ESTALE on those
      mountpoints, while when the NFS server is working correctly, I get
      correct behaviour on the client.

      NFS: Fix the ustat() regression · b09b9417
      Trond Myklebust 提交于
      Since 2.6.18, the superblock sb->s_root has been a dummy dentry with a
      dummy inode. This breaks ustat(), which actually uses sb->s_root in a
      vfstat() call.
      
      Fix this by making the s_root a dummy alias to the directory inode that was
      used when creating the superblock.

      [CIFS] Fix buffer overflow if server sends corrupt response to small · 133672ef
      Steve French 提交于
      request
      
      In SendReceive() function in transport.c - it memcpy's
      message payload into a buffer passed via out_buf param. The function
      assumes that all buffers are of size (CIFSMaxBufSize +
      MAX_CIFS_HDR_SIZE) , unfortunately it is also called with smaller
      (MAX_CIFS_SMALL_BUFFER_SIZE) buffers.  There are eight callers
      (SMB worker functions) which are primarily affected by this change:
      
      TreeDisconnect, uLogoff, Close, findClose, SetFileSize, SetFileTimes,
      Lock and PosixLock

      Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation" · 0b832a4b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 7c9e69fa, fixing up
      conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually.
      
      The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the
      bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive.  We could, and probably
      should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache.  However,
      right now we are better off just reverting it.
      
      Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%
      decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to
      just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still
      a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.
