XFS: Fix hang after disallowed rename across directory quota domains

2008-12-13T23:29:35+00:00

commit 576a488a27f267af203f3ea69c700a1612335e9f upstream.

When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree
quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory
tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes
involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes
correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the
current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access
to the inodes involved in failed rename.

cifs: fix a regression in cifs umount codepath

2008-12-13T23:29:34+00:00

backport of 469ee614aaa367d9cde01cbdd2027212f56c6cc6 upstream.

Several cifs patches were added to 2.6.27.8 to fix some races in the
mount/umount codepath. When this was done, a couple of prerequisite
patches were missed causing a minor regression.

When the last cifs mount to a server goes away, the kthread that manages
the socket is supposed to come down. The patches that went into 2.6.27.8
removed the kthread_stop calls that used to take down these threads, but
left the thread function expecting them. This made the thread stay up
even after the last mount was gone.

This patch should fix up this regression and also prevent a possible
race where a dead task could be signalled.

tracehook: exec double-reporting fix

2008-12-13T23:29:34+00:00

commit 85f334666a771680472722eee43ae0fc8730a619 upstream.

The patch 6341c39 "tracehook: exec" introduced a small regression in
2.6.27 regarding binfmt_misc exec event reporting.  Since the reporting
is now done in the common search_binary_handler() function, an exec
of a misc binary will result in two (or possibly multiple) exec events
being reported, instead of just a single one, because the misc handler
contains a recursive call to search_binary_handler.

To add to the confusion, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is not active, the multiple
SIGTRAP signals will in fact cause only a single ptrace intercept, as the
signals are not queued.  However, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is on, the debugger
will actually see multiple ptrace intercepts (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC).

The test program included below demonstrates the problem.

This change fixes the bug by calling tracehook_report_exec() only in the
outermost search_binary_handler() call (bprm->recursion_depth == 0).

The additional change to restore bprm->recursion_depth after each binfmt
load_binary call is actually superfluous for this bug, since we test the
value saved on entry to search_binary_handler().  But it keeps the use of
of the depth count to its most obvious expected meaning.  Depending on what
binfmt handlers do in certain cases, there could have been false-positive
tests for recursion limits before this change.

    /* Test program using PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC.
       This forks and exec's the first argument with the rest of the arguments,
       while ptrace'ing.  It expects to see one PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop and
       then a successful exit, with no other signals or events in between.

       Test for kernel doing two PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stops for a binfmt_misc exec:

       $ gcc -g traceexec.c -o traceexec
       $ sudo sh -c 'echo :test:M::foobar::/bin/cat: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register'
       $ echo 'foobar test' > ./foobar
       $ chmod +x ./foobar
       $ ./traceexec ./foobar; echo $?
       ==> good <==
       foobar test
       0
       $

Allow recursion in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc

2008-12-13T23:29:33+00:00

commit bf2a9a39639b8b51377905397a5005f444e9a892 upstream.

binfmt_script and binfmt_misc disallow recursion to avoid stack overflow
using sh_bang and misc_bang.  It causes problem in some cases:

$ echo '#!/bin/ls' > /tmp/t0
$ echo '#!/tmp/t0' > /tmp/t1
$ echo '#!/tmp/t1' > /tmp/t2
$ chmod +x /tmp/t*
$ /tmp/t2
zsh: exec format error: /tmp/t2

Similar problem with binfmt_misc.

This patch introduces field 'recursion_depth' into struct linux_binprm to
track recursion level in binfmt_misc and binfmt_script.  If recursion
level more then BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION it generates -ENOEXEC.

pagemap: fix 32-bit pagemap regression

commit 49c50342c728344b79c8f9e8293637fe80ef5ad5 upstream.

The large pages fix from bcf8039ed45 broke 32-bit pagemap by pulling the
pagemap entry code out into a function with the wrong return type.
Pagemap entries are 64 bits on all systems and unsigned long is only 32
bits on 32-bit systems.

jbd: test BH_Write_EIO to detect errors on metadata buffers

2008-12-13T23:29:16+00:00

commit 9f818b4ac04f53458d0354950b4f229f54be4dbf upstream.

__try_to_free_cp_buf(), __process_buffer(), and __wait_cp_io() test
BH_Uptodate flag to detect write I/O errors on metadata buffers.  But by
commit 95450f5a7e53d5752ce1a0d0b8282e10fe745ae0 "ext3: don't read inode
block if the buffer has a write error"(*), BH_Uptodate flag can be set to
inode buffers with BH_Write_EIO in order to avoid reading old inode data.
So now, we have to test BH_Write_EIO flag of checkpointing inode buffers
instead of BH_Uptodate.  This patch does it.

jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint io

2008-12-13T23:29:15+00:00

commit 4afe978530702c934dfdb11f54073136818b2119 upstream.

When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error
and continue journaling.  This means latest metadata can be lost from both
the journal and filesystem.

This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and
aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint().  To achieve this, we
need to do:

1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
   the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
   overwritten by a later transaction
2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer
   from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
   prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned.  For safety,
   don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so
   that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
   journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
   __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue
   between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space()

Fix a race condition in FASYNC handling

2008-12-13T23:29:14+00:00

commit 218d11a8b071b23b76c484fd5f72a4fe3306801e upstream.

Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync()
functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave
file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
driver/filesystem believes.  Revert that change, and also fix the same
races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().

This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the
BKL.

jbd: ordered data integrity fix

2008-12-05T18:55:47+00:00

commit 960a22ae60c8a723bd17da3b929fe0bcea6d007e upstream.

In ordered mode, if a file data buffer being dirtied exists in the
committing transaction, we write the buffer to the disk, move it from the
committing transaction to the running transaction, then dirty it.  But we
don't have to remove the buffer from the committing transaction when the
buffer couldn't be written out, otherwise it would miss the error and the
committing transaction would not abort.

This patch adds an error check before removing the buffer from the
committing transaction.

ext3: fix ext3 block reservation early ENOSPC issue

2008-12-05T18:55:47+00:00

commit 46d01a225e694f1a4343beea44f1e85105aedd7e upstream.

We could run into ENOSPC error on ext3, even when there is free blocks on
the filesystem.

The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free
blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of
"free_blocks < windowsz/2".  Current code could fall back to non
reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block
groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation
window is turned off already, which is true in this case.

This patch fixed two issues:
1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has
0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups.

Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the
goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for
make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal
block group, to get better locality.  But if the goal blocks have 0 free
blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for
the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely.

2) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off.

The problem was originally found and fixed in ext4.
