ext3: Properly count journal credits for long symlinks

2011-08-12T00:23:40+00:00

Commit ae54870a1dc9 ("ext3: Fix lock inversion in ext3_symlink()")
recalculated the number of credits needed for a long symlink, in the
process of splitting it into two transactions.  However, the first
credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits
are needed to create the selinux xattr as well.

Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in
journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert:

  J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);

Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

fs: take the ACL checks to common code

2011-07-25T18:30:23+00:00

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss.  This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.

kill boilerplates around posix_acl_create_masq()

2011-07-25T18:27:32+00:00

new helper: posix_acl_create(&acl, gfp, mode_p).  Replaces acl with
modified clone, on failure releases acl and replaces with NULL.
Returns 0 or -ve on error.  All callers of posix_acl_create_masq()
switched.

2011-07-25T18:27:30+00:00

new helper: posix_acl_chmod(&acl, gfp, mode).  Replaces acl with modified
clone or with NULL if that has failed; returns 0 or -ve on error.  All
callers of posix_acl_chmod_masq() switched to that - they'd been doing
exactly the same thing.

vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic code

2011-07-25T18:23:39+00:00

This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

ext3: Fix data corruption in inodes with journalled data

2011-07-22T23:49:00+00:00

When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or
because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext3_evict_inode()
can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is
because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only
add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there
are still unwritten data.

Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data,
committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode
should be reaped.

fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers

2011-07-21T00:47:59+00:00

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.
Thanks,
