NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine

2013-02-28T14:32:26+00:00

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.

The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
different patch.

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

2013-02-28T14:32:25+00:00

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.

NLM: Ensure that we resend all pending blocking locks after a reclaim

2013-02-28T14:32:25+00:00

commit 666b3d803a511fbc9bc5e5ea8ce66010cf03ea13 upstream.

Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when
the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting
nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail
with an ENOLCK error.
The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request
after the grace period has expired.

ocfs2: unlock super lock if lockres refresh failed

commit 3278bb748d2437eb1464765f36429e5d6aa91c38 upstream.

If lockres refresh failed, the super lock will never be released which
will cause some processes on other cluster nodes hung forever.

inotify: remove broken mask checks causing unmount to be EINVAL

2013-02-28T14:32:25+00:00

commit 676a0675cf9200ac047fb50825f80867b3bb733b upstream.

Running the command:

	inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk

immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code.  This is however a valid
parameter.  This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter.  If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.

The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask
checks").  In that commit, it states:

	The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
	inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
	sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.

But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:

	        mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
	-       if (unlikely(!mask))
	+       if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
	                return -EINVAL;

The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS.  So the
check should be:

	if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))

But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed.  Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.

Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logic

2013-02-14T18:47:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit ae62ca7b03217be5e74759dc6d7698c95df498b3 ]

commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
frags but the last one for a splice() call.

The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
or a smaller one.

But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.

The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
sessions.

We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment
is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1)

Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
and test programs.

nilfs2: fix fix very long mount time issue

2013-02-11T16:16:47+00:00

commit a9bae189542e71f91e61a4428adf6e5a7dfe8063 upstream.

There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.

The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set.  But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.

SYMPTOMS:

Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).

REPRODUCING PATH:

1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
   make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.

2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
   dd if=/dev/zero of= bs=1073741824 count=200).  The size of
   file defines duration of GC working.

3. Then it needs to delete file.

4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0".  When you
   start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
   by once.  So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
   40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.

5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume.  As a
   result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%

FIX:

This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.

fs/cifs/cifs_dfs_ref.c: fix potential memory leakage

2013-02-04T00:21:37+00:00

commit 10b8c7dff5d3633b69e77f57d404dab54ead3787 upstream.

When it goes to error through line 144, the memory allocated to *devname is
not freed, and the caller doesn't free it either in line 250. So we free the
memroy of *devname in function cifs_compose_mount_options() when it goes to
error.

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()
