ext4: init pagevec in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages

2013-01-21T19:44:59+00:00

commit 66bea92c69477a75a5d37b9bfed5773c92a3c4b4 upstream.

ext4_da_block_invalidatepages is missing a pagevec_init(),
which means that pvec->cold contains random garbage.

This affects whether the page goes to the front or
back of the LRU when ->cold makes it to
free_hot_cold_page()

ext4: lock i_mutex when truncating orphan inodes

2013-01-17T16:43:57+00:00

commit 721e3eba21e43532e438652dd8f1fcdfce3187e7 upstream.

Commit c278531d39 added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is
called without i_mutex being taken.  It had previously not been taken
during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in
the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d39, we will now see
a kernel WARN_ON in this case.  Take the i_mutex in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.

ext4: do not try to write superblock on ro remount w/o journal

2013-01-17T16:43:57+00:00

commit d096ad0f79a782935d2e06ae8fb235e8c5397775 upstream.

When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block
device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated,
flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages
from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device.

This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount():

       if (sbi->s_journal == NULL)
                ext4_commit_super(sb, 1);

at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of
a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem
is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not.

We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been
previously mounted read/write.

Thanks to Eric Sandeen for help in diagnosing this issue.

ext4: fix extent tree corruption caused by hole punch

2013-01-17T16:43:57+00:00

commit c36575e663e302dbaa4d16b9c72d2c9a913a9aef upstream.

When depth of extent tree is greater than 1, logical start value of
interior node is not correctly updated in ext4_ext_rm_idx.

ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_xattr_set_acl()'s error path

2013-01-17T16:43:55+00:00

commit 24ec19b0ae83a385ad9c55520716da671274b96c upstream.

In ext4_xattr_set_acl(), if ext4_journal_start() returns an error,
posix_acl_release() will not be called for 'acl' which may result in a
memory leak.

This patch fixes that.

ext4: fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes

2012-10-12T20:28:10+00:00

commit b71fc079b5d8f42b2a52743c8d2f1d35d655b1c5 upstream.

Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.

Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is
updated.

ext4: always set i_op in ext4_mknod()

commit 6a08f447facb4f9e29fcc30fb68060bb5a0d21c2 upstream.

ext4_special_inode_operations have their own ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR
to mask those methods. And ext4_iget also always sets it, so there is
an inconsistency.

commit f066055a3449f0e5b0ae4f3ceab4445bead47638 upstream.

Proper block swap for inodes with full journaling enabled is
truly non obvious task. In order to be on a safe side let's
explicitly disable it for now.

ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memory

2012-08-26T22:12:11+00:00

commit 7e731bc9a12339f344cddf82166b82633d99dd86 upstream.

Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in
ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore
ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left
uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero.

This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint
makes it easier for people to find real bugs.

Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45631
(which is marked as a regression).

ext4: don't let i_reserved_meta_blocks go negative

2012-08-09T15:27:51+00:00

commit 97795d2a5b8d3c8dc4365d4bd3404191840453ba upstream.

If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that
were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of
ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks.  In turn, this can throw
sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine
the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch().  Warn if this
occurs and set i_allocated_meta_blocks to avoid this problem.

This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with
delalloc enabled:

Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [  171.526344] EXT4-fs (loop1): delayed block allocation failed for inode 14 at logical offset 64486 with max blocks 64 with error -28
Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [  171.526346] EXT4-fs (loop1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

270 ultimately fails with an inconsistent filesystem and requires an
fsck to repair.  The cause of the error is an underflow in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space() due to an unreserved meta block
allocation.
