ext4: limit group search loop for non-extent files

2013-05-19T17:04:40+00:00

commit e6155736ad76b2070652745f9e54cdea3f0d8567 upstream.

In the case where we are allocating for a non-extent file,
we must limit the groups we allocate from to those below
2^32 blocks, and ext4_mb_regular_allocator() attempts to
do this initially by putting a cap on ngroups for the
subsequent search loop.

However, the initial target group comes in from the
allocation context (ac), and it may already be beyond
the artificially limited ngroups.  In this case,
the limit

	if (group == ngroups)
		group = 0;

at the top of the loop is never true, and the loop will
run away.

Catch this case inside the loop and reset the search to
start at group 0.

ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count

2013-04-05T17:16:52+00:00

commit 90ba983f6889e65a3b506b30dc606aa9d1d46cd2 upstream.

A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow.  This was detected by PaX security patchset:

http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551

This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around
since 2.6.30.  :-(

Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

[Backported for 3.0-stable. Renamed free_clusters back to free_blocks;
fixed a few more atomic_read's of free_blocks left in 3.0.]

ext4: fix the wrong number of the allocated blocks in ext4_split_extent()

2013-03-28T19:06:03+00:00

commit 3a2256702e47f68f921dfad41b1764d05c572329 upstream.

This commit fixes a wrong return value of the number of the allocated
blocks in ext4_split_extent.  When the length of blocks we want to
allocate is greater than the length of the current extent, we return a
wrong number.  Let's see what happens in the following case when we
call ext4_split_extent().

  map: [48, 72]
  ex:  [32, 64, u]

'ex' will be split into two parts:
  ex1: [32, 47, u]
  ex2: [48, 64, w]

'map->m_len' is returned from this function, and the value is 24.  But
the real length is 16.  So it should be fixed.

Meanwhile in this commit we use right length of the allocated blocks
when get_reserved_cluster_alloc in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents
is called.

ext4: add missing kfree() on error return path in add_new_gdb()

commit c49bafa3842751b8955a962859f42d307673d75d upstream.

We added some more error handling in b40971426a "ext4: add error
checking to calls to ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()".  But we need to
call kfree() as well to avoid a memory leak.

ext4: init pagevec in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages

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.
