block: use i_size_write() in bd_set_size()

2013-03-20T19:58:53+00:00

commit d646a02a9d44d1421f273ae3923d97b47b918176 upstream.

blkdev_ioctl(GETBLKSIZE) uses i_size_read() to read size of block device.
If we update block size directly, reader may see intermediate result in
some machines and configurations.  Use i_size_write() instead.

btrfs: use rcu_barrier() to wait for bdev puts at unmount

2013-03-20T19:58:53+00:00

commit bc178622d40d87e75abc131007342429c9b03351 upstream.

Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:

# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
...
unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy

because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.

Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount
path:

btrfs_close_devices
	__btrfs_close_devices
		call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device);
			free_device
				INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device);
				schedule_work(&device->rcu_work);

so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put.

Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
unmount completes.

ext3: Fix format string issues

2013-03-20T19:58:51+00:00

commit 8d0c2d10dd72c5292eda7a06231056a4c972e4cc upstream.

ext3_msg() takes the printk prefix as the second parameter and the
format string as the third parameter. Two callers of ext3_msg omit the
prefix and pass the format string as the second parameter and the first
parameter to the format string as the third parameter. In both cases
this string comes from an arbitrary source. Which means the string may
contain format string characters, which will
lead to undefined and potentially harmful behavior.

The issue was introduced in commit 4cf46b67eb("ext3: Unify log messages
in ext3") and is fixed by this patch.

vfs: fix pipe counter breakage

2013-03-14T18:32:06+00:00

commit a930d8790552658140d7d0d2e316af4f0d76a512 upstream.

If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not
add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info"
to be potentially released early.

That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe,
but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects
the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there.  And rather than adding
NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we
already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case.

This is ancient going back to pre-2.4 days, and until trinity, nobody
naver noticed.

When walking down the path on the server, it's possible to hit a
symlink. The path walking code assumes that the caller will handle that
situation properly, but cifs_get_root() isn't set up for it. This patch
prevents the oops by simply returning an error.

A better solution would be to try and chase the symlinks here, but that's
fairly complicated to handle.

btrfs: Init io_lock after cloning btrfs device struct

2013-03-14T18:32:04+00:00

commit 1cba0cdf5e4dbcd9e5fa5b54d7a028e55e2ca057 upstream.

__btrfs_close_devices() clones btrfs device structs with
memcpy(). Some of the fields in the clone are reinitialized, but it's
missing to init io_lock. In mainline this goes unnoticed, but on RT it
leaves the plist pointing to the original about to be freed lock
struct.

Initialize io_lock after cloning, so no references to the original
struct are left.

ocfs2: ac->ac_allow_chain_relink=0 won't disable group relink

2013-03-03T22:09:04+00:00

commit 309a85b6861fedbb48a22d45e0e079d1be993b3a upstream.

ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig() disables chain relink by setting
ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 0 because it grabs clusters from multiple
cluster groups.

It doesn't keep the credits for all chain relink,but
ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits overrides this in this call trace:
ocfs2_block_group_claim_bits()->ocfs2_claim_clusters()->
__ocfs2_claim_clusters()->ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits()
ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits set ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 1; then call
ocfs2_search_chain() one time and disable it again, and then we run out
of credits.

Fix is to allow relink by default and disable it in
ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig.

Without this patch, End-users will run into a crash due to run out of
credits, backtrace like this:

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.
