When loading extended attributes, check each entry's value offset to make sure it doesn't collide with the entries. Without this check it is easy to crash the kernel by mounting a malicious FS containing a file with an EA wherein e_value_offs = 0 and e_value_size > 0 and then deleting the EA, which corrupts the name list.

The EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED flag was originally implemented because it was too hard to make sure the mballoc and get_block flags could be reliably passed down through all of the codepaths that end up calling ext4_mb_new_blocks(). Since then, we have mb_flags passed down through most of the code paths, so getting rid of EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED isn't as tricky as it used to. This commit plumbs in the last of what is required, and then adds a WARN_ON check to make sure we haven't missed anything. If this passes a full regression test run, we can then drop EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED. Signed-off-by: NTheodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer) and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer lock.

Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the inode by one block. This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well. Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem. The problem has been revealed by xfstests #117 (and possibly others).

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute block. Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c. Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h (where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move them to ext4.h.

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass context information for logging purposes. The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is: T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter echo 1 > $EVENT/enable ./run-my-fs-benchmark cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over 1.2 seconds: postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page. So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to a pointer. This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more efficient than using memcpy() anyway.

In xattr block operation, we use h_refcount to indicate whether the xattr block is shared among many inodes. And xattr block csum uses s_csum_seed if it is shared and i_csum_seed if it belongs to one inode. But this has a problem. So consider the block is shared first bewteen inode A and B, and B has some xattr update and CoW the xattr block. When it updates the *old* xattr block(because of the h_refcount change) and calls ext4_xattr_release_block, we has no idea that inode A is the real owner of the *old* xattr block and we can't use the i_csum_seed of inode A either in xattr block csum calculation. And I don't think we have an easy way to find inode A. So this patch just removes the tricky i_csum_seed and we now uses s_csum_seed every time for the xattr block csum. The corresponding patch for the e2fsprogs will be sent in another patch. This is spotted by xfstests 117.

Processes hang forever on a sync-mounted ext2 file system that is mounted with the ext4 module (default in Fedora 16). I can reproduce this reliably by mounting an ext2 partition with "-o sync" and opening a new file an that partition with vim. vim will hang in "D" state forever. The same happens on ext4 without a journal. I am attaching a small patch here that solves this issue for me. In the sync mounted case without a journal, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() may call sync_dirty_buffer(), which can't be called with buffer lock held.

Ceph users reported that when using Ceph on ext4, the filesystem would often become corrupted, containing inodes with incorrect i_blocks counters. I managed to reproduce this with a very hacked-up "streamtest" binary from the Ceph tree. Ceph is doing a lot of xattr writes, to out-of-inode blocks. There is also another thread which does sync_file_range and close, of the same files. The problem appears to happen due to this race: sync/flush thread xattr-set thread ----------------- ---------------- do_writepages ext4_xattr_set ext4_da_writepages ext4_xattr_set_handle mpage_da_map_blocks ext4_xattr_block_set set DELALLOC_RESERVE ext4_new_meta_blocks ext4_mb_new_blocks if (!i_delalloc_reserved_flag) vfs_dq_alloc_block ext4_get_blocks down_write(i_data_sem) set i_delalloc_reserved_flag ... up_write(i_data_sem) if (i_delalloc_reserved_flag) vfs_dq_alloc_block_nofail In other words, the sync/flush thread pops in and sets i_delalloc_reserved_flag on the inode, which makes the xattr thread think that it's in a delalloc path in ext4_new_meta_blocks(), and add the block for a second time, after already having added it once in the !i_delalloc_reserved_flag case in ext4_mb_new_blocks The real problem is that we shouldn't be using the DELALLOC_RESERVED state flag, and instead we should be passing EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE down to ext4_map_blocks() instead of using an inode state flag. We'll fix this for now with using i_data_sem to prevent this race, but this is really not the right way to fix things.

We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling is enabled. In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted. As a result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the journal or by setting s_dirt. There are a few exceptions, most notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode. This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4 with a journal. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
