      jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin · 5ffd3412
      Thomas Betker 提交于
      jffs2_write_begin() first acquires the page lock, then f->sem. This
      causes an AB-BA deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), which first
      acquires f->sem, then the page lock:
      
      jffs2_garbage_collect_live
          mutex_lock(&f->sem)                         (A)
          jffs2_garbage_collect_dnode
              jffs2_gc_fetch_page
                  read_cache_page_async
                      do_read_cache_page
                          lock_page(page)             (B)
      
      jffs2_write_begin
          grab_cache_page_write_begin
              find_lock_page
                  lock_page(page)                     (B)
          mutex_lock(&f->sem)                         (A)
      
      We fix this by restructuring jffs2_write_begin() to take f->sem before
      the page lock. However, we make sure that f->sem is not held when
      calling jffs2_reserve_space(), as this is not permitted by the locking
      rules.
      
      The deadlock above was observed multiple times on an SoC with a dual
      ARMv7 (Cortex-A9), running the long-term 3.4.11 kernel; it occurred
      when using scp to copy files from a host system to the ARM target
      system. The fix was heavily tested on the same target system.

      fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers · 02c24a82
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
      in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
      the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
      file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
      ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
      sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
      individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix · 54566b2c
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
      could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
      allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
      assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
      cause filesystem deadlocks.
      
      The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
      allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
      called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
      take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
      anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
      
      Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
      this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
      accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
      change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
      and does away with random leading underscores).
      
      This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
      filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
      ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
      GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
      random example).

      In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting

      that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
      assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
      the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.
      
      We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
      licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
      has the right to license it differently.

      [JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files. · cf5eba53
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
      writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
      data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
      actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
      be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
      REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
      eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
      picked for GC.
      
      One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
      space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
      towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
      offending nodes will be garbage collected.
      
      The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
      eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
      written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
      This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
      even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

      [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5) · aa98d7cf
      KaiGai Kohei 提交于
      This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
      SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
      
      There are some significant differences from previous version posted
      at last December.
      The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
      Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
      xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
      
      In addition, some bugs are fixed.
      - A potential race condition was fixed.
      - Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
      - A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
      
      The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
      mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
      and updated if necessary.
      Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
      load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
