ext4: avoid trying to kfree an ERR_PTR pointer

2014-09-03T13:37:30+00:00

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for extending smatch to find bugs like this.
(This was found using a development version of smatch.)

ext4: fix same-dir rename when inline data directory overflows

2014-08-29T02:22:29+00:00

When performing a same-directory rename, it's possible that adding or
setting the new directory entry will cause the directory to overflow
the inline data area, which causes the directory to be converted to an
extent-based directory.  Under this circumstance it is necessary to
re-read the directory when deleting the old dirent because the "old
directory" context still points to i_block in the inode table, which
is now an extent tree root!  The delete fails with an FS error, and
the subsequent fsck complains about incorrect link counts and
hardlinked directories.

Test case (originally found with flat_dir_test in the metadata_csum
test program):

# mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/sda
# mount /dev/sda /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/x
# touch /mnt/x/changelog.gz /mnt/x/copyright /mnt/x/README.Debian
# sync
# for i in /mnt/x/*; do mv $i $i.longer; done
# ls -la /mnt/x/

jbd2: fix descriptor block size handling errors with journal_csum

2014-08-29T02:22:29+00:00

It turns out that there are some serious problems with the on-disk
format of journal checksum v2.  The foremost is that the function to
calculate descriptor tag size returns sizes that are too big.  This
causes alignment issues on some architectures and is compounded by the
fact that some parts of jbd2 use the structure size (incorrectly) to
determine the presence of a 64bit journal instead of checking the
feature flags.

Therefore, introduce journal checksum v3, which enlarges the
descriptor block tag format to allow for full 32-bit checksums of
journal blocks, fix the journal tag function to return the correct
sizes, and fix the jbd2 recovery code to use feature flags to
determine 64bitness.

Add a few function helpers so we don't have to open-code quite so
many pieces.

Switching to a 16-byte block size was found to increase journal size
overhead by a maximum of 0.1%, to convert a 32-bit journal with no
checksumming to a 32-bit journal with checksum v3 enabled.

ext4: update i_disksize coherently with block allocation on error path

2014-08-29T02:20:41+00:00

In case of delalloc block i_disksize may be less than i_size. So we
have to update i_disksize each time we allocated and submitted some
blocks beyond i_disksize.  We weren't doing this on the error paths,
so fix this.

ext4: fix transaction issues for ext4_fallocate and ext_zero_range

2014-08-27T22:40:00+00:00

After commit f282ac19d86f we use different transactions for
preallocation and i_disksize update which result in complain from fsck
after power-failure.  spotted by generic/019. IMHO this is regression
because fs becomes inconsistent, even more 'e2fsck -p' will no longer
works (which drives admins go crazy) Same transaction requirement
applies ctime,mtime updates

ext4: fix incorect journal credits reservation in ext4_zero_range

2014-08-27T22:33:49+00:00

Currently we reserve only 4 blocks but in worst case scenario
ext4_zero_partial_blocks() may want to zeroout and convert two
non adjacent blocks.

ext4: fix BUG_ON in mb_free_blocks()

2014-08-23T21:47:28+00:00

If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory
allocation failure), it's possible that we will call
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any
blocks.  In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac->ac_f_ex will still
be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0)
triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks():

	BUG_ON(last >= (sb->s_blocksize << 3));

Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len
is zero.

Also fix a missing ext4_mb_unload_buddy() call in
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks().

ext4: propagate errors up to ext4_find_entry()'s callers

2014-08-23T21:47:19+00:00

If we run into some kind of error, such as ENOMEM, while calling
ext4_getblk() or ext4_dx_find_entry(), we need to make sure this error
gets propagated up to ext4_find_entry() and then to its callers.  This
way, transient errors such as ENOMEM can get propagated to the VFS.
This is important so that the system calls return the appropriate
error, and also so that in the case of ext4_lookup(), we return an
error instead of a NULL inode, since that will result in a negative
dentry cache entry that will stick around long past the OOM condition
which caused a transient ENOMEM error.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2014-08-11T18:44:11+00:00

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Stuff in here:

   - acct.c fixes and general rework of mnt_pin mechanism.  That allows
     to go for delayed-mntput stuff, which will permit mntput() on deep
     stack without worrying about stack overflows - fs shutdown will
     happen on shallow stack.  IOW, we can do Eric's umount-on-rmdir
     series without introducing tons of stack overflows on new mntput()
     call chains it introduces.
   - Bruce's d_splice_alias() patches
   - more Miklos' rename() stuff.
   - a couple of regression fixes (stable fodder, in the end of branch)
     and a fix for API idiocy in iov_iter.c.

  There definitely will be another pile, maybe even two.  I'd like to
  get Eric's series in this time, but even if we miss it, it'll go right
  in the beginning of for-next in the next cycle - the tricky part of
  prereqs is in this pile"
