ore: Fix wrong math in allocation of per device BIO

2014-02-13T19:51:11+00:00

commit aad560b7f63b495f48a7232fd086c5913a676e6f upstream.

At IO preparation we calculate the max pages at each device and
allocate a BIO per device of that size. The calculation was wrong
on some unaligned corner cases offset/length combination and would
make prepare return with -ENOMEM. This would be bad for pnfs-objects
that would in that case IO through MDS. And fatal for exofs were it
would fail writes with EIO.

Fix it by doing the proper math, that will work in all cases. (I
ran a test with all possible offset/length combinations this time
round).

Also when reading we do not need to allocate for the parity units
since we jump over them.

Also lower the max_io_length to take into account the parity pages
so not to allocate BIOs bigger than PAGE_SIZE

ore: Fix out-of-bounds access in _ios_obj()

2012-08-15T15:10:09+00:00

commit 9e62bb4458ad2cf28bd701aa5fab380b846db326 upstream.

_ios_obj() is accessed by group_index not device_table index.

The oc->comps array is only a group_full of devices at a time
it is not like ore_comp_dev() which is indexed by a global
device_table index.

This did not BUG until now because exofs only uses a single
COMP for all devices. But with other FSs like PanFS this is
not true.

This bug was only in the write_path, all other users were
using it correctly

ore: Remove support of partial IO request (NFS crash)

2012-07-29T15:04:20+00:00

commit 62b62ad873f2accad9222a4d7ffbe1e93f6714c1 upstream.

Do to OOM situations the ore might fail to allocate all resources
needed for IO of the full request. If some progress was possible
it would proceed with a partial/short request, for the sake of
forward progress.

Since this crashes NFS-core and exofs is just fine without it just
remove this contraption, and fail.

TODO:
	Support real forward progress with some reserved allocations
	of resources, such as mem pools and/or bio_sets

ore: Fix NFS crash by supporting any unaligned RAID IO

2012-07-29T15:04:20+00:00

commit 9ff19309a9623f2963ac5a136782ea4d8b5d67fb upstream.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.

Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.

The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.

The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.

The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute

And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.

Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.

This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt  with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)

NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.

hurray!!

exofs: Fix CRASH on very early IO errors.

2012-06-09T15:36:05+00:00

commit 6abe4a87f7bc7978705c386dbba0ca0c7790b3ec upstream.

If at exofs_fill_super() we had an early termination
do to any error, like an IO error while reading the
super-block. We would crash inside exofs_free_sbi().

This is because sbi->oc.numdevs was set to 1, before
we actually have a device table at all.

Fix it by moving the sbi->oc.numdevs = 1 to after the
allocation of the device table.

vfs: check i_nlink limits in vfs_{mkdir,rename_dir,link}

2012-03-21T01:29:32+00:00

New field of struct super_block - ->s_max_links.  Maximal allowed
value of ->i_nlink or 0; in the latter case all checks still need
to be done in ->link/->mkdir/->rename instances.  Note that this
limit applies both to directoris and to non-directories.
