ext4: fix zeroing of page during writeback 2014-07-11T12:33:37+00:00 Jan Kara jack@suse.cz 2014-05-27T16:48:55+00:00 69c9183261e692f6901de00b5e7024a58d69849c commit eeece469dedadf3918bad50ad80f4616a0064e90 upstream. Tail of a page straddling inode size must be zeroed when being written out due to POSIX requirement that modifications of mmaped page beyond inode size must not be written to the file. ext4_bio_write_page() did this only for blocks fully beyond inode size but didn't properly zero blocks partially beyond inode size. Fix this. The problem has been uncovered by mmap_11-4 test in openposix test suite (part of LTP).

To avoid the problem, ext4_map_blocks() needs to check the file logical block number. ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() called via ext4_map_blocks() cannot handle 2^32-1 because the maximum file logical block number is 2^32-2.

ext4: fix partial cluster handling for bigalloc file systems 2014-04-30T15:23:22+00:00 Eric Whitney enwlinux@gmail.com 2014-03-14T03:34:16+00:00 e0a00412630cd700a1ea6d9162afdae261d03a31 commit c06344939422bbd032ac967223a7863de57496b5 upstream. Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068, 075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks are being freed again. The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.

commit c06344939422bbd032ac967223a7863de57496b5 upstream.

Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file
systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier
release.  When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068,
075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors
or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks
are being freed again.

The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in
ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent
supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the
leaf node (as is still done when truncating).  However, the code in
rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on
extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the
last node in the leaf.  Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly
initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a
punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.
