ext2: Fix fs corruption in ext2_get_xip_mem()

2014-11-05T20:27:49+00:00

commit 7ba3ec5749ddb61f79f7be17b5fd7720eebc52de upstream.

Commit 8e3dffc651cb "Ext2: mark inode dirty after the function
dquot_free_block_nodirty is called" unveiled a bug in __ext2_get_block()
called from ext2_get_xip_mem(). That function called ext2_get_block()
mistakenly asking it to map 0 blocks while 1 was intended. Before the
above mentioned commit things worked out fine by luck but after that commit
we started returning that we allocated 0 blocks while we in fact
allocated 1 block and thus allocation was looping until all blocks in
the filesystem were exhausted.

Fix the problem by properly asking for one block and also add assertion
in ext2_get_blocks() to catch similar problems.

fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype

2011-07-21T00:47:49+00:00

Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.

fs: move inode_dio_wait calls into ->setattr

2011-07-21T00:47:47+00:00

Let filesystems handle waiting for direct I/O requests themselves instead
of doing it beforehand.  This means filesystem-specific locks to prevent
new dio referenes from appearing can be held.  This is important to allow
generalizing i_dio_count to non-DIO_LOCKING filesystems.

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

fs: add sync_inode_metadata

2010-10-26T01:18:19+00:00

Add a new helper to write out the inode using the writeback code,
that is including the correct dirty bit and list manipulation.  A few
of filesystems already opencode this, and a lot of others should be
using it instead of using write_inode_now which also writes out the
data.
