patch 44ec6f3f89889a469773b1fd894f8fcc07c29cf in mainline

This attempts to address CVE-2006-6058
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6058

first reported at http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-17-11-2006.html

Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large
i_size will loop for a very long time in minix_readdir, minix_find_entry,
etc, because on EIO they just move on to try the next page.  This is
under the BKL, printk-storming as well.  This can lock up the machine
for a very long time.  Simply ratelimiting the printks gets things back
under control.  Make the message a bit more informative while we're here.

changeset a6d85430424d44e946e0946bfaad607115510989 in upstream

The recent fix for a circular lock dependency unfortunately introduced a
potential memory leak in the event where the call to nlmsvc_lookup_host
fails for some reason.

Thanks to Roel Kluin for spotting this.

commit 255129d1e9ca0ed3d69d5517fae3e03d7ab4b806 in upstream.

The problem is that the garbage collector for the 'host' structures
nlm_gc_hosts(), holds nlm_host_mutex while calling down to
nlmsvc_mark_resources, which, eventually takes the file-&gt;f_mutex.

We cannot therefore call nlmsvc_lookup_host() from within
nlmsvc_create_block, since the caller will already hold file-&gt;f_mutex, so
the attempt to grab nlm_host_mutex may deadlock.

Fix the problem by calling nlmsvc_lookup_host() outside the file-&gt;f_mutex.

commit 49af7ee181f4f516ac99eba85d3f70ed42cabe76 in mainline.

NFS unregisters sysctls only if V4 support is compiled in.  However, sysctl
table is not V4 specific, so unregister it always.

Steps to reproduce:

	[build nfs.ko with CONFIG_NFS_V4=n]
	modrobe nfs
	rmmod nfs
	ls /proc/sys

<title>ext34: ensure do_split leaves enough free space in both blocks</title>

<id>f36dab894e29637bae9a58a6fb43fa66e8a94f85</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ef2b02d3e617cb0400eedf2668f86215e1b0e6af in mainline.

The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf
block to make room for a new entry.  It sorts the entries in the original
block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new
block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves.  (IOW,
it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*).  If by
chance we have both large &amp; small entries, and we move only the smallest
entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created
enough space for it.

The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and
then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be
moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and
the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry.

The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size
does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and
if it grows too large it may be overwritten.  By making offs and size both
u16, we won't grow the map size.

Also add a few comments to the functions involved.

This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the
linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error"

Thanks to Andreas Dilger for discussing the problem &amp; solution with me.

commit 0e2f6db88a6900bc9db576d6b478b12ee60d61f7 in mainline.

The inode-&gt;i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix
locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in
the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE
command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects
the leases to come first.

The following example will demonstrate this:

#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/file.h&gt;

static void show_lease(int fd)
{
        int res;

        res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE);
        switch (res) {
                case F_RDLCK:
                        printf("Read lease\n");
                        break;
                case F_WRLCK:
                        printf("Write lease\n");
                        break;
                case F_UNLCK:
                        printf("No leases\n");
                        break;
                default:
                        printf("Some shit\n");
                        break;
        }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int fd, res;

        fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
        if (fd == -1) {
                perror("Can't open file");
                return 1;
        }

        res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK);
        if (res == -1) {
                perror("Can't set lease");
                return 1;
        }

        show_lease(fd);

        if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) {
                perror("Can't flock shared");
                return 1;
        }

        show_lease(fd);

        return 0;
}

The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but
the second will show no leases.

Fix the flock adding so that the leases always stay in the head
of this list.

Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware.

<title>splice: fix direct splice error handling</title>

This is a splice patch for 2.6.22 and 2.6.21 (and earlier, I did not
check. Let me know if you still maintain older stable trees!). It fixes
an infinite loop in do_splice_direct(), when there's either nothing to
read or nothing to write and blocking doesn't help. It could be things
like running out of disk space. We need to exit both for failure and
zero return, or we could be going around forever.

This got fixed in 2.6.23-git with commit 51a92c0f6ce8fa85fa0e18ecda1d847e606e8066

Herbert Poetzl &lt;herbert@13thfloor.at&gt; noticed this bug in 2.6.22, and
has verified that this minimal fix works.

<title>JFFS2: fix write deadlock regression</title>

Changeset fc0e01974ccccc7530b7634a63ee3fcc57b845ea from mainline.


I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e1e5b6fa9e5c59aa5061f244fe3f467e2
Author: Nick Piggin &lt;npiggin@suse.de&gt;
Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

[It's fine. dwmw2.]
