      jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit code · a61d90d7
      Jan Kara 提交于
      In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction.  During this
      scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
      the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
       But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
      could get attached to our buffer head.  So add a check whether the journal
      head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
      list.
      
      This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
      free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

      autofs4: remove hashed check in validate_wait() · 463aea1a
      Ian Kent 提交于
      The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
      mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion.  We were
      concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.
      
      I saw several error messages.
      
      They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
      actual problem.
      
      Things like:
      
      handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)
      
      which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
      except that I treat is as such because it normally is).
      
      do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
      /test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1
      
      which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
      autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
      because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times.  It's hard to
      accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
      to if the kernel module is doing its job.
      
      There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
      can't locate a log example just now.
      
      When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
      request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
      it is a mount point.  But, if a mount successfully completed while we
      slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
      completed so the test is not really needed.
      
      Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
      case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
      been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
      callback to the daemon.  Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
      if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
      real mount at the base of the tree.

      ext3/4 with synchronous writes gets wedged by Postfix · 72a43d63
      Al Viro 提交于
      OK, that's probably the easiest way to do that, as much as I don't like it...
      Since iget() et.al. will not accept I_FREEING (will wait to go away
      and restart), and since we'd better have serialization between new/free
      on fs data structures anyway, we can afford simply skipping I_FREEING
      et.al. in insert_inode_locked().
      
      We do that from new_inode, so it won't race with free_inode in any interesting
      ways and it won't race with iget (of any origin; nfsd or in case of fs
      corruption a lookup) since both still will wait for I_LOCK.

      Fix nobh_truncate_page() to not pass stack garbage to get_block() · 460bcf57
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The nobh_truncate_page() function is used by ext2, exofs, and jfs.  Of
      these three, only ext2 and jfs's get_block() function pays attention
      to bh->b_size --- which is normally always the filesystem blocksize
      except when the get_block() function is called by either
      mpage_readpage(), mpage_readpages(), or the direct I/O routines in
      fs/direct_io.c.
      
      Unfortunately, nobh_truncate_page() does not initialize map_bh before
      calling the filesystem-supplied get_block() function.  So ext2 and jfs
      will try to calculate the number of blocks to map by taking stack
      garbage and shifting it left by inode->i_blkbits.  This should be
      *mostly* harmless (except the filesystem will do some unnneeded work)
      unless the stack garbage is less than filesystem's blocksize, in which
      case maxblocks will be zero, and the attempt to find out whether or
      not the filesystem has a hole at a given logical block will fail, and
      the page cache entry might not get zero'ed out.
      
      Also if the stack garbage in in map_bh->state happens to have the
      BH_Mapped bit set, there could be an attempt to call readpage() on a
      non-existent page, which could cause nobh_truncate_page() to return an
      error when it should not.
      
      Fix this by initializing map_bh->state and map_bh->size.
      
      Fortunately, it's probably fairly unlikely that ext2 and jfs users
      mount with nobh these days.

      Btrfs: Fix oops and use after free during space balancing · 44fb5511
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
      groups when searching for free blocks.  It starts off with a hint
      to help find the best block group for a given allocation.
      
      The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
      to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
      freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing.  If it is being
      freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted.  But,
      the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
      leading to all kinds of fun.
      
      The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
      is on the list before we use it.  list_del_init is used when removing
      it from the list, so we can do a proper check.
      
      The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
      the block group in the current free space cluster.  If our allocation
      flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
      because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
      the old block group any more.
      
      The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
      current allocation flags.

      [CIFS] Avoid open on possible directories since Samba now rejects them · 8db14ca1
      Steve French 提交于
      Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to
      file create only.
      
      After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup
      regression,  and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one
      particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's
      behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs.
      directories).   To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a
      fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now
      returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't
      know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and
      thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server),
      this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues
      posix open on creates).    This gets the semantic benefits we want
      (atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly
      created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem
      that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory
      calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and
      will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just
      pushed into Samba server).  I confirmed this approach with jra
      yesterday and with Shirish today.
      
      Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now.
      For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it
      is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows
      us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call
      on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix
      open till cifs_open.  It could be added here (lookup) in the future
      but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR
      or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50%
      reduction in network traffic in the other paths.
