The compat_do_readv_writev() function was doing a verify_area on the incoming iov, but the nr_segs value is not checked. If someone passes in a -1 for nr_segs, for instance, the function should return an EINVAL. However, it returns a EFAULT because the verify_area fails because it is checking an array of size MAX_UINT. The check is bogus, anyway, because the next check, compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), will do all the necessary checking, anyway. The non-compat do_readv_writev() function doesn't do this check, so I think it's safe to just remove the code.

Attempt to use the new DLM operations. If it is not supported, use the traditional ocfs2_controld. To exchange ocfs2 versioning, we use the LVB of the version dlm lock. It first attempts to take the lock in EX mode (non-blocking). If successful (which means it is the first mount), it writes the version number and downconverts to PR lock. If it is unsuccessful, it reads the version from the lock. If this becomes the standard (with o2cb as well), it could simplify userspace tools to check if the filesystem is mounted on other nodes. Dan: Since ocfs2_protocol_version are two u8 values, the additional checks with LONG* don't make sense.

We perform this because the DLM recovery callbacks will require the ocfs2_live_connection structure to record the node information when dlm_new_lockspace() is updated (in the last patch of the series). Before calling dlm_new_lockspace(), we need the structure ready for the .recover_done() callback, which would set oc_this_node. This is the reason we allocate ocfs2_live_connection beforehand in user_connect(). [AKPM] rc initialization is not required because it assigned in case of errors. It will be cleared by compiler anyways.

These are the callbacks called by the fs/dlm code in case the membership changes. If there is a failure while/during calling any of these, the DLM creates a new membership and relays to the rest of the nodes. - recover_prep() is called when DLM understands a node is down. - recover_slot() is called once all nodes have acknowledged recover_prep and recovery can begin. - recover_done() is called once the recovery is complete.

This is an effort of removing ocfs2_controld.pcmk and getting ocfs2 DLM handling up to the times with respect to DLM (>=4.0.1) and corosync (2.3.x). AFAIK, cman also is being phased out for a unified corosync cluster stack. fs/dlm performs all the functions with respect to fencing and node management and provides the API's to do so for ocfs2. For all future references, DLM stands for fs/dlm code. The advantages are: + No need to run an additional userspace daemon (ocfs2_controld) + No controld device handling and controld protocol + Shifting responsibilities of node management to DLM layer For backward compatibility, we are keeping the controld handling code. Once enough time has passed we can remove a significant portion of the code. This was tested by using the kernel with changes on older unmodified tools. The kernel used ocfs2_controld as expected, and displayed the appropriate warning message. This feature requires modification in the userspace ocfs2-tools. The changes can be found at: https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools branch: nocontrold Currently, not many checks are present in the userspace code, but that would change soon.

Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each notification event and links this event into all interested notification groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification groups are interested in the event. However the need for event structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure so the result is often higher memory consumption. Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file descriptors from notified files. This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less memory unless file names are long and there are several groups interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event. The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put(). Since ba7443bc ("sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root() to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized. This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one() before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will try to dereference NULL parent. Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of @root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node, __kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the parent is used in that case. This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its parent associated and thus can be put.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment construction, whereby the old data is overwritten. The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message: nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted: NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0 NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660) The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running. Although it is quite hard to reproduce. This is what happens: 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which allocates a new segment 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message 8. Loop around and the collection starts again 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active data and can be allocated at a later time 10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the segment and causes file system corruption This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

When kernfs_seq_start() fails to obtain an active reference, it returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). kernfs_seq_stop() is then invoked with the error pointer value; however, it still proceeds to invoke kernfs_put_active() on the node leading to unbalanced put. If kernfs_seq_stop() is called even after active ref failure, it should skip invocation of @ops->seq_stop() and put_active. Unfortunately, this is a bit complicated because active ref failure isn't the only thing which may fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). @ops->seq_start/next() may also fail with the error value and kernfs_seq_stop() doesn't have a way to tell apart those failures. Work it around by factoring out the active part of kernfs_seq_stop() into kernfs_seq_stop_active() and invoking it directly if @ops->seq_start/next() fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and updating kernfs_seq_stop() to skip kernfs_seq_stop_active() on ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). This is a bit nasty but ensures that the active put is skipped iff get_active failed in kernfs_seq_start(). tj: This was originally committed as d92d2e6b but got reverted by 683bb276 along with other kernfs self removal patches. However, this one is an independent fix and shouldn't have been reverted together. Reinstate the change. Sorry about the mess.

895a068a ("kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated but not removed") added "struct kernfs_root *root = kernfs_root(kn);" at the head of the function; however, the parameter @kn is checked for later implying that the function may be called with NULL. This means that we may end up invoking kernfs_root() with NULL which will oops. None of the existing users invokes removal with NULL @kn, so this bug doesn't actually trigger. We can relocate kernfs_root() invocation after NULL check; however, allowing NULL param tends to cause more confusion than actually helping anything. As there's no existing user, let's remove the spurious NULL check. This bug was detected by smatch.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself is sitting on top of. This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous. While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation reliable. The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous. All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file operations, drops the active ref and deactivates using __kernfs_deactivate_self(), removes the self node, and restores active ref to the dead node using __kernfs_reactivate_self() so that the ref is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't confuse the deactivation path. This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal deletion path will simply be ignored. This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations - even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 > delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is completed by one of the instances. v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it. Reported by kbuild test bot. v3: Updated to use __kernfs_{de|re}activate_self().

This patch implements four functions to manipulate deactivation state - deactivate, reactivate and the _self suffixed pair. A new fields kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested deactivations are handled properly. kernfs_node->hash is moved so that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the size of kernfs_node. A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency. This function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical section. This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self(). Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
