2009-12-11devpts_get_tty() should validate inodeSukadev Bhattiprolu
devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid pty. But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer exists. With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression introduced by the commit: commit 527b3e4773628b30d03323a2cb5fb0d84441990f Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Date: Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100 To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().

2009-12-11xfs: Wrapped journal record corruption on read at recoveryAndy Poling
Summary of problem: If a journal record wraps at the physical end of the journal, it has to be read in two parts in xlog_do_recovery_pass(): a read at the physical end and a read at the physical beginning. If xlog_bread() has to re-align the first read, the second read request does not take that re-alignment into account. If the first read was re-aligned, the second read over-writes the end of the data from the first read, effectively corrupting it. This can happen either when reading the record header or reading the record data. The first sanity check in xlog_recover_process_data() is to check for a valid clientid, so that is the error reported. Summary of fix: If there was a first read at the physical end, XFS_BUF_PTR() returns where the data was requested to begin. Conversely, because it is the result of xlog_align(), offset indicates where the requested data for the first read actually begins - whether or not xlog_bread() has re-aligned it. Using offset as the base for the calculation of where to place the second read data ensures that it will be correctly placed immediately following the data from the first read instead of sometimes over-writing the end of it. The attached patch has resolved the reported problem of occasional inability to recover the journal (reporting "bad clientid").

2009-12-11xfs: reset the i_iolock lock class in the reclaim pathChristoph Hellwig
The iolock is used for protecting reads, writes and block truncates against each other. We have two classes of callers, the first one is induced by a file operation and requires a reference to the inode be held and not dropped after the operation is done: - xfs_vm_vmap, xfs_vn_fallocate, xfs_read, xfs_write, xfs_splice_read, xfs_splice_write and xfs_setattr are all implementations of VFS methods that require a live inode - xfs_getbmap and xfs_swap_extents are ioctl subcommand for which the same is true - xfs_truncate_file is only called on quota inodes just returned from xfs_iget - xfs_sync_inode_data does the lock just after an igrab() - xfs_filestream_associate and xfs_filestream_new_ag take the iolock on the parent inode of an inode which by VFS rules must be referenced And we have various calls to truncate blocks past EOF or the whole file when dropping the last reference to an inode. Unfortunately lockdep complains when we do memory allocations that can recurse into the filesystem in the first class because the second class happens to take the same lock. To avoid this re-init the iolock in the beginning of xfs_fs_clear_inode to get a new lock class.

2009-12-11xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocationsChristoph Hellwig
When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the I/O completion otherwise. The only thing currently allocating normal GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for the unwritten extent conversion. Add a memflags argument to _xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.

When xfs_free_eofblocks is called from ->release the VM might already hold the mmap_sem, but in the write path we take the iolock before taking the mmap_sem in the generic write code. Switch xfs_free_eofblocks to only trylock the iolock if called from ->release and skip trimming the prellocated blocks in that case. We'll still free them later on the final iput.

2009-12-11xfs: simplify inode teardownChristoph Hellwig
Currently the reclaim code for the case where we don't reclaim the final reclaim is overly complicated. We know that the inode is clean but instead of just directly reclaiming the clean inode we go through the whole process of marking the inode reclaimable just to directly reclaim it from the calling context. Besides being overly complicated this introduces a race where iget could recycle an inode between marked reclaimable and actually being reclaimed leading to panics. This patch gets rid of the existing reclaim path, and replaces it with a simple call to xfs_ireclaim if the inode was clean. While we're at it we also use the slightly more lax xfs_inode_clean check we'd use later to determine if we need to flush the inode here. Finally get rid of xfs_reclaim function and place the remaining small bits of reclaim code directly into xfs_fs_destroy_inode.

Half the compat_ioctl handling is in devio.c, the other half is in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This moves everything into one place for consistency. As a positive side-effect, push down the BKL into the ioctl methods.

2009-12-10lp: move compat_ioctl handling into lp.cArnd Bergmann
Handling for LPSETTIMEOUT can easily be done in lp_ioctl, which is the only user. As a positive side-effect, push the BKL into the ioctl methods. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: pass compat pointer directly to handlersArnd Bergmann
Instead of having each handler call compat_ptr, we can now convert the pointer once and pass that to each handler. This saves a little bit of both source and object code size. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: simplify lookup tableArnd Bergmann
The compat_ioctl table now only contains entries for COMPATIBLE_IOCTL, so we only need to know if a number is listed in it or now. As an optimization, we hash the table entries with a reversible transformation to get a more uniform distribution over it, sort the table at startup and then guess the position in the table when an ioctl number gets called to do a linear search from there. With the current set of ioctl numbers and the chosen transformation function, we need an average of four steps to find if a number is in the set, all of the accesses within one or two cache lines. This at least as good as the previous hash table approach but saves 8.5 kb of kernel memory. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: simplify calling of handlersArnd Bergmann
The compat_ioctl array now contains only entries for ioctl numbers that do not require a separate handler. By special-casing the ULONG_IOCTL case in the do_ioctl_trans function, we can kill the final use of a function pointer in the array. text data bss dec hex filename 7539 13352 2080 22971 59bb before/fs/compat_ioctl.o 7910 8552 2080 18542 486e after/fs/compat_ioctl.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: inline all conversion handlersArnd Bergmann
This makes all ioctl conversion handlers called from a single switch statement, leaving only COMPATIBLE_IOCTL and ULONG_IOCTL statements in the table. This is somewhat more space efficient and also lets us simplify the handling of the lookup table significantly. before: text data bss dec hex filename 7619 14024 2080 23723 5cab obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o after: 7567 13352 2080 22999 59d7 obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-12-10compat_ioctl: Remove BKLArnd Bergmann
We have always called ioctl conversion handlers under the big kernel lock, although that is generally not necessary. In particular it is not needed for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed. Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl. This may significantly improve latencies with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread acquires the BKL twice.

2009-12-10compat_ioctl: remove all VT ioctl handlingArnd Bergmann
The VT driver now handles all of these ioctls directly, so we can remove the handlers from common code. These are the only handlers that require the BKL because they directly perform the ioctl action rather than just converting the data structures. Once they are gone, we can remove the BKL from the remaining ioctl conversion handlers.
