Squashfs: fix mount time sanity check for corrupted superblock

2012-09-12T02:37:36+00:00

commit cc37f75a9ffbbfcb1c3297534f293c8284e3c5a6 upstream.

A Squashfs filesystem containing nothing but an empty directory,
although unusual and ultimately pointless, is still valid.

The directory_table >= next_table sanity check rejects these
filesystems as invalid because the directory_table is empty and
equal to next_table.

This Oops affects 3.5 kernels and older, and is due to lookup_one_len()
calling down to the dentry revalidation code with a NULL pointer
to struct nameidata.

It is fixed upstream by commit 0b728e1911c (stop passing nameidata *
to ->d_revalidate())

block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fix

2012-09-12T02:37:28+00:00

commit 676ce6d5ca3098339c028d44fe0427d1566a4d2d upstream.

Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow")
is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee
that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to
__find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there.

Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595:
inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console,
which pointed to this commit.

I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs
sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on
ppc G5.  I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7
itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an
irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between
18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2).

(I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages
from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until
yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.)

Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus
a checkpatch nitfix).  Simplify the interface between grow_buffers()
and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device
by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume
that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()),
returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case.

And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird"
comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really
now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

fs/buffer.c: remove BUG() in possible but rare condition

2012-09-12T02:37:28+00:00

commit 61065a30af8df4b8989c2ac7a1f4b4034e4df2d5 upstream.

While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the
following chain of events:

alloc_page_buffers():

	bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS);
	if (!bh)
		goto no_grow; <= path taken

grow_dev_page():
        bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0);
        if (!bh)
                goto failed;  <= taken, consequence of the above

and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel.

The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no
reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box.

Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every
time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just
too much.  As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine
in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then.

NFSv3: Ensure that do_proc_get_root() reports errors correctly

2012-09-12T02:37:21+00:00

commit 086600430493e04b802bee6e5b3ce0458e4eb77f upstream.

If the rpc call to NFS3PROC_FSINFO fails, then we need to report that
error so that the mount fails. Otherwise we can end up with a
superblock with completely unusable values for block sizes, maxfilesize,
etc.

ext4: fix long mount times on very big file systems

2012-09-12T02:37:07+00:00

commit 0548bbb85337e532ca2ed697c3e9b227ff2ed4b4 upstream.

Commit 8aeb00ff85a: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by
ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large
file systems take forever to mount.  Fix this with an optimization for
non-bigalloc file systems.  (For bigalloc file systems the overhead
needs to be set in the the superblock.)

vfs: canonicalize create mode in build_open_flags()

2012-09-12T02:37:03+00:00

commit e68726ff72cf7ba5e7d789857fcd9a75ca573f03 upstream.

Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to
"(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create().

The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create()
with unforseen consequences.

So do the canonicalization early in build_open_flags().

fuse: verify all ioctl retry iov elements

2012-09-12T02:36:51+00:00

commit fb6ccff667712c46b4501b920ea73a326e49626a upstream.

Commit 7572777eef78ebdee1ecb7c258c0ef94d35bad16 attempted to verify that
the total iovec from the client doesn't overflow iov_length() but it
only checked the first element.  The iovec could still overflow by
starting with a small element.  The obvious fix is to check all the
elements.

The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is
limited by the length after the overflow.  This fix restores the
intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less
than the iovec represented.

I found this by code inspection.  I built it but don't have a test case.
I'm cc:ing stable because the initial commit did as well.
