This reverts commit 3a366e61. Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic. Jens says: "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close). The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of queueing up a revert and pull request."

Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says about coredump_filter bitmask, Note bit 0-4 doesn't effect any hugetlb memory. hugetlb memory are only effected by bit 5-6.

While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file. That is because the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it. So to fix this we need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay the extent. This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct. With this I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 unpark(T) wake_up_process(T) clear(SHOULD_PARK) T runs leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK bind_to(CPU2) BUG_ON(wrong CPU) We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires that it starts running on the target cpu right away. The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association of the task to the target cpu is working correctly. Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup. Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment. The migration thread has another related issue. CPU0 CPU1 Bring up CPU2 create_thread(T) park(T) wait_for_completion() parkme() complete() sched_set_stop_task() schedule(TASK_PARKED) The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before sched_set_stop_task().

It is unsafe to use list_for_each_entry_safe() here, because when we drop the nn->nfs_client_lock, we pin the _current_ list entry and ensure that it stays in the list, but we don't do the same for the _next_ list entry. Use of list_for_each_entry() is therefore the correct thing to do. Also fix the refcounting in nfs41_walk_client_list().

This patch changes GFS2's discard issuing code so that it calls function sb_issue_discard rather than blkdev_issue_discard. The code was calling blkdev_issue_discard and specifying the correct sector offset and sector size, but blkdev_issue_discard expects these values to be in terms of 512 byte sectors, even if the native sector size for the device is different. Calling sb_issue_discard with the BLOCK size instead ensures the correct block-to-512b-sector translation. I verified that "minlen" is specified in blocks, so comparing it to a number of blocks is correct.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) - block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile" we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device with "losetup -d". But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following stack: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280 bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0 loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop] lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop] lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop] compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290 do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0 compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20 do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0 sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd() and put it later in loop_clr_fd(). The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test: dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1 while [ true ]; do losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches losetup -d /dev/loop0 done [ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop device we'll get ENXIO. loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ] Signed-off-by: NAnatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is because the global block reserve was taking up the entire free metadata space.

Dave reported a warning when running xfstest 275. We have been leaking delalloc metadata space when our reservations fail. This is because we were improperly calculating how much space to free for our checksum reservations. The problem is we would sometimes free up space that had already been freed in another thread and we would end up with negative usage for the delalloc space. This patch fixes the problem by calculating how much space the other threads would have already freed, and then calculate how much space we need to free had we not done the reservation at all, and then freeing any excess space. This makes xfstests 275 no longer have leaked space. Thanks Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: NDavid Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com>

Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already mounted when the user namespace is created. proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that is shared between every instance. Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time the user namespace was created. In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all (some form of mount namespace jail).

Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is established by setting the root directory will not be violated by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace creation. Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current root directory. For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability in the user namespace. Therefore when creating a user namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access can not be violated by changing the root directory. Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount namespace instead. With this result that this is not a practical limitation for using user namespaces.
