fifo: Do not restart open() if it already found a partner

2012-07-19T15:58:56+00:00

commit 05d290d66be6ef77a0b962ebecf01911bd984a78 upstream.

If a parent and child process open the two ends of a fifo, and the
child immediately exits, the parent may receive a SIGCHLD before its
open() returns.  In that case, we need to make sure that open() will
return successfully after the SIGCHLD handler returns, instead of
throwing EINTR or being restarted.  Otherwise, the restarted open()
would incorrectly wait for a second partner on the other end.

The following test demonstrates the EINTR that was wrongly thrown from
the parent’s open().  Change .sa_flags = 0 to .sa_flags = SA_RESTART
to see a deadlock instead, in which the restarted open() waits for a
second reader that will never come.  (On my systems, this happens
pretty reliably within about 5 to 500 iterations.  Others report that
it manages to loop ~forever sometimes; YMMV.)

  #define CHECK(x) do if ((x) == -1) {perror(#x); abort();} while(0)

  void handler(int signum) {}

  int main()
  {
      struct sigaction act = {.sa_handler = handler, .sa_flags = 0};
      CHECK(sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, NULL));
      CHECK(mknod("fifo", S_IFIFO | S_IRWXU, 0));
      for (;;) {
          int fd;
          pid_t pid;
          putc('.', stderr);
          CHECK(pid = fork());
          if (pid == 0) {
              CHECK(fd = open("fifo", O_RDONLY));
              _exit(0);
          }
          CHECK(fd = open("fifo", O_WRONLY));
          CHECK(close(fd));
          CHECK(waitpid(pid, NULL, 0));
      }
  }

This is what I suspect was causing the Git test suite to fail in
t9010-svn-fe.sh:

block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow

2012-07-19T15:58:55+00:00

commit 91f68c89d8f35fe98ea04159b9a3b42d0149478f upstream.

Commit 080399aaaf35 ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
disk to become uptodate.

The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54

and also reported independently here:

    http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511

and then Richard W.M.  Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
bugzillas also associated with the same issue.  This patch has been
confirmed to fix:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019

The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:

        for (;;) {
                struct buffer_head * bh;
                int ret;

                bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
                if (bh)
                        return bh;

                ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
                if (ret < 0)
                        return NULL;
                if (ret == 0)
                        free_more_memory();
        }

__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page.  I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding.  However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk.  So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).

The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.

Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from generic_setlease

ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in __ocfs2_change_file_space()

2012-07-16T16:04:45+00:00

commit a4e08d001f2e50bb8b3c4eebadcf08e5535f02ee upstream.

As ocfs2_fallocate() will invoke __ocfs2_change_file_space() with a NULL
as the first parameter (file), it may trigger a NULL pointer dereferrence
due to a missing check.

fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()

2012-07-16T16:04:45+00:00

commit fea9f718b3d68147f162ed2d870183ce5e0ad8d8 upstream.

There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU:

 1. create a new file
 2. mmap the file and write to it
 3. read the file can't get the correct value

Because

  sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page()

which causes the page to be zeroed.

Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that
generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().

splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses

2012-07-16T16:04:42+00:00

commit 047fe3605235888f3ebcda0c728cb31937eadfe6 upstream.

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()

commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.

Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.

splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

NFS: hard-code init_net for NFS callback transports

2012-07-16T16:04:40+00:00

upstream commit 12918b10d59e975fd5241eef03ef9e6d5ea3dcfe.

In case of destroying mount namespace on child reaper exit, nsproxy is zeroed
to the point already. So, dereferencing of it is invalid.
This patch hard-code "init_net" for all network namespace references for NFS
callback services. This will be fixed with proper NFS callback
containerization.

SUNRPC: move per-net operations from svc_destroy()

upstream commit 786185b5f8abefa6a8a16695bb4a59c164d5a071.

The idea is to separate service destruction and per-net operations,
because these are two different things and the mix looks ugly.

Notes:

1) For NFS server this patch looks ugly (sorry for that). But these
place will be rewritten soon during NFSd containerization.

2) LockD per-net counter increase int lockd_up() was moved prior to
make_socks() to make lockd_down_net() call safe in case of error.

SUNRPC: new svc_bind() routine introduced

upstream commit 9793f7c88937e7ac07305ab1af1a519225836823.

This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.

The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.

Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

Lockd: pass network namespace to creation and destruction routines

2012-07-16T16:04:39+00:00

upstream commit e3f70eadb7dddfb5a2bb9afff7abfc6ee17a29d0.

v2: dereference of most probably already released nlm_host removed in
nlmclnt_done() and reclaimer().

These routines are called from locks reclaimer() kernel thread. This thread
works in "init_net" network context and currently relays on persence on lockd
thread and it's per-net resources. Thus lockd_up() and lockd_down() can't relay
on current network context. So let's pass corrent one into them.
