commit d57b9c9a999a8f4475fe73fba629c964245800ca upstream.

0d0d110720d7960b77c03c9f2597faaff4b484ae asserts that "d_splice_alias()
can't return error unless it was given an IS_ERR(inode)".

That was true of the implementation of d_splice_alias, but this is
really a problem with d_splice_alias: at a minimum it should be able to
return -ELOOP in the case where inserting the given dentry would cause a
directory loop.

commit 62e96cf81988101fe9e086b2877307b6adda5197 upstream.

This patch calls get_write_access in function gfs2_setattr_chown,
which merely increases inode-&gt;i_writecount for the duration of the
function. That will ensure that any file closes won't delete the
inode's multi-block reservation while the function is running.
It also ensures that a multi-block reservation exists when needed
for quota change operations during the chown.

commit dfd11184d894cd0a92397b25cac18831a1a6a5bc upstream.

In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.

The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.

<title>GFS2: Fix slab memory leak in gfs2_bufdata</title>

commit 502be2a32f09f388e4ff34ef2e3ebcabbbb261da upstream.

This patch fixes a slab memory leak that sometimes can occur
for files with a very short lifespan. The problem occurs when
a dinode is deleted before it has gotten to the journal properly.
In the leak scenario, the bd object is pinned for journal
committment (queued to the metadata buffers queue: sd_log_le_buf)
but is subsequently unpinned and dequeued before it finds its way
to the ail or the revoke queue. In this rare circumstance, the bd
object needs to be freed from slab memory, or it is forgotten.
We have to be very careful how we do it, though, because
multiple processes can call gfs2_remove_from_journal. In order to
avoid double-frees, only the process that does the unpinning is
allowed to free the bd.

<title>GFS2: Fix use-after-free race when calling gfs2_remove_from_ail</title>

commit 9290a9a7c0bcf5400e8dbfbf9707fa68ea3fb338 upstream.

Function gfs2_remove_from_ail drops the reference on the bh via
brelse. This patch fixes a race condition whereby bh is deferenced
after the brelse when setting bd-&gt;bd_blkno = bh-&gt;b_blocknr;
Under certain rare circumstances, bh might be gone or reused,
and bd-&gt;bd_blkno is set to whatever that memory happens to be,
which is often 0. Later, in gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke, that bd fails
the test "bd-&gt;bd_blkno &gt;= blkno" which causes it to never be freed.
The end result is that the bd is never freed from the bufdata cache,
which results in this error:
slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `gfs2_bufdata': Can't free all objects

commit dfe5b9ad83a63180f358b27d1018649a27b394a9 upstream.

This is a GFS2 version of Tejun's patch:
4f331f01b9c43bf001d3ffee578a97a1e0633eac
vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call

In this case its blkdev_put itself that is the issue and this
patch uses the same solution of dropping and retaking s_umount.

commit ea0341e071527d5cec350917b01ab901af09d758 upstream.

In the case that atomic_open calls finish_no_open() with
the dentry that was supplied to gfs2_atomic_open() an
extra reference count is required. This patch fixes that
issue preventing a bug trap triggering at umount time.

We need to dput() the result of d_splice_alias(), unless it is passed to
finish_no_open().

Edited by Steven Whitehouse in order to make it apply to the current
GFS2 git tree, and taking account of a prerequisite patch which hasn't
been applied.
