commit 6f8960541b1eb6054a642da48daae2320fddba93 upstream.

Commit 1d52c78afbb (Btrfs: try not to ENOSPC on log replay) added a
check to skip delayed inode updates during log replay because it
confuses the enospc code.  But the delayed processing will end up
ignoring delayed refs from log replay because the inode itself wasn't
put through the delayed code.

This can end up triggering a warning at commit time:

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 778 at fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:1410 btrfs_assert_delayed_root_empty+0x32/0x34()

Which is repeated for each commit because we never process the delayed
inode ref update.

The fix used here is to change btrfs_delayed_delete_inode_ref to return
an error if we're currently in log replay.  The caller will do the ref
deletion immediately and everything will work properly.

<title>nilfs2: fix the nilfs_iget() vs. nilfs_new_inode() races</title>

commit 705304a863cc41585508c0f476f6d3ec28cf7e00 upstream.

Same story as in commit 41080b5a2401 ("nfsd race fixes: ext2") (similar
ext2 fix) except that nilfs2 needs to use insert_inode_locked4() instead
of insert_inode_locked() and a bug of a check for dead inodes needs to
be fixed.

If nilfs_iget() is called from nfsd after nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), nilfs_iget() will wait for unlock_new_inode() at
the end of nilfs_mkdir()/nilfs_create()/etc to unlock the inode.

If nilfs_iget() is called before nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), it will create an in-core inode and read its
data from the on-disk inode.  But, nilfs_iget() will find i_nlink equals
zero and fail at nilfs_read_inode_common(), which will lead it to call
iget_failed() and cleanly fail.

However, this sanity check doesn't work as expected for reused on-disk
inodes because they leave a non-zero value in i_mode field and it
hinders the test of i_nlink.  This patch also fixes the issue by
removing the test on i_mode that nilfs2 doesn't need.

commit ef17af2a817db97d42dd2ec0a425231748e23dbc upstream.

Bugs similar to the one in acbbe6fbb240 (kcmp: fix standard comparison
bug) are in rich supply.

In this variant, the problem is that struct xdr_netobj::len has type
unsigned int, so the expression o1-&gt;len - o2-&gt;len _also_ has type
unsigned int; it has completely well-defined semantics, and the result
is some non-negative integer, which is always representable in a long
long. But this means that if the conditional triggers, we are
guaranteed to return a positive value from compare_blob.

In this case it could be fixed by

-       res = o1-&gt;len - o2-&gt;len;
+       res = (long long)o1-&gt;len - (long long)o2-&gt;len;

but I'd rather eliminate the usually broken 'return a - b;' idiom.

<title>writeback: fix a subtle race condition in I_DIRTY clearing</title>

commit 9c6ac78eb3521c5937b2dd8a7d1b300f41092f45 upstream.

After invoking -&gt;dirty_inode(), __mark_inode_dirty() does smp_mb() and
tests inode-&gt;i_state locklessly to see whether it already has all the
necessary I_DIRTY bits set.  The comment above the barrier doesn't
contain any useful information - memory barriers can't ensure "changes
are seen by all cpus" by itself.

And it sure enough was broken.  Please consider the following
scenario.

 CPU 0					CPU 1
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

					enters __writeback_single_inode()
					grabs inode-&gt;i_lock
					tests PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which is clear
 enters __set_page_dirty()
 grabs mapping-&gt;tree_lock
 sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
 releases mapping-&gt;tree_lock
 leaves __set_page_dirty()

 enters __mark_inode_dirty()
 smp_mb()
 sees I_DIRTY_PAGES set
 leaves __mark_inode_dirty()
					clears I_DIRTY_PAGES
					releases inode-&gt;i_lock

Now @inode has dirty pages w/ I_DIRTY_PAGES clear.  This doesn't seem
to lead to an immediately critical problem because requeue_inode()
later checks PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY instead of I_DIRTY_PAGES when
deciding whether the inode needs to be requeued for IO and there are
enough unintentional memory barriers inbetween, so while the inode
ends up with inconsistent I_DIRTY_PAGES flag, it doesn't fall off the
IO list.

The lack of explicit barrier may also theoretically affect the other
I_DIRTY bits which deal with metadata dirtiness.  There is no
guarantee that a strong enough barrier exists between
I_DIRTY_[DATA]SYNC clearing and write_inode() writing out the dirtied
inode.  Filesystem inode writeout path likely has enough stuff which
can behave as full barrier but it's theoretically possible that the
writeout may not see all the updates from -&gt;dirty_inode().

Fix it by adding an explicit smp_mb() after I_DIRTY clearing.  Note
that I_DIRTY_PAGES needs a special treatment as it always needs to be
cleared to be interlocked with the lockless test on
__mark_inode_dirty() side.  It's cleared unconditionally and
reinstated after smp_mb() if the mapping still has dirty pages.

Also add comments explaining how and why the barriers are paired.

Lightly tested.

commit 027bc8b08242c59e19356b4b2c189f2d849ab660 upstream.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
&lt;ccross@android.com&gt;, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.

On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

<title>pstore-ram: Fix hangs by using write-combine mappings</title>

commit 7ae9cb81933515dc7db1aa3c47ef7653717e3090 upstream.

Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're
mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached().

On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly
ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation
defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically
atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly
ordered memory types.

Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This
corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other
architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by
default we have:

#define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached

The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore
is because Colin Cross &lt;ccross@android.com&gt; had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

is because Colin Cross &lt;ccross@android.com&gt; had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

commit 136f49b9171074872f2a14ad0ab10486d1ba13ca upstream.

For buffer write, page lock will be got in write_begin and released in
write_end, in ocfs2_write_end_nolock(), before it unlock the page in
ocfs2_free_write_ctxt(), it calls ocfs2_run_deallocs(), this will ask
for the read lock of journal-&gt;j_trans_barrier.  Holding page lock and
ask for journal-&gt;j_trans_barrier breaks the locking order.

This will cause a deadlock with journal commit threads, ocfs2cmt will
get write lock of journal-&gt;j_trans_barrier first, then it wakes up
kjournald2 to do the commit work, at last it waits until done.  To
commit journal, kjournald2 needs flushing data first, it needs get the
cache page lock.

Since some ocfs2 cluster locks are holding by write process, this
deadlock may hung the whole cluster.

unlock pages before ocfs2_run_deallocs() can fix the locking order, also
put unlock before ocfs2_commit_trans() to make page lock is unlocked
before j_trans_barrier to preserve unlocking order.

<title>Btrfs: fix fs corruption on transaction abort if device supports discard</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 678886bdc6378c1cbd5072da2c5a3035000214e3 upstream.

When we abort a transaction we iterate over all the ranges marked as dirty
in fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[0] and fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[1], clear them
from those trees, add them back (unpin) to the free space caches and, if
the fs was mounted with "-o discard", perform a discard on those regions.
Also, after adding the regions to the free space caches, a fitrim ioctl call
can see those ranges in a block group's free space cache and perform a discard
on the ranges, so the same issue can happen without "-o discard" as well.

This causes corruption, affecting one or multiple btree nodes (in the worst
case leaving the fs unmountable) because some of those ranges (the ones in
the fs_info-&gt;pinned_extents tree) correspond to btree nodes/leafs that are
referred by the last committed super block - breaking the rule that anything
that was committed by a transaction is untouched until the next transaction
commits successfully.

I ran into this while running in a loop (for several hours) the fstest that
I recently submitted:

  [PATCH] fstests: add btrfs test to stress chunk allocation/removal and fstrim

The corruption always happened when a transaction aborted and then fsck complained
like this:

   _check_btrfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdc is inconsistent
   *** fsck.btrfs output ***
   Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
   Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
   Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
   Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
   Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
   read block failed check_tree_block
   Couldn't open file system

In this case 94945280 corresponded to the root of a tree.
Using frace what I observed was the following sequence of steps happened:

   1) transaction N started, fs_info-&gt;pinned_extents pointed to
      fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[0];

   2) node/eb 94945280 is created;

   3) eb is persisted to disk;

   4) transaction N commit starts, fs_info-&gt;pinned_extents now points to
      fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[1], and transaction N completes;

   5) transaction N + 1 starts;

   6) eb is COWed, and btrfs_free_tree_block() called for this eb;

   7) eb range (94945280 to 94945280 + 16Kb) is added to
      fs_info-&gt;pinned_extents (fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[1]);

   8) Something goes wrong in transaction N + 1, like hitting ENOSPC
      for example, and the transaction is aborted, turning the fs into
      readonly mode. The stack trace I got for example:

      [112065.253935]  [&lt;ffffffff8140c7b6&gt;] dump_stack+0x4d/0x66
      [112065.254271]  [&lt;ffffffff81042984&gt;] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0x98

      [112065.263105]  [&lt;ffffffffa0343106&gt;] cleaner_kthread+0x100/0x12f [btrfs]
      (...)
      [112065.264493] ---[ end trace dd7903a975a31a08 ]---
      [112065.264673] BTRFS: error (device sdc) in btrfs_remove_chunk:2625: errno=-28 No space left
      [112065.264997] BTRFS info (device sdc): forced readonly

   9) The clear kthread sees that the BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR bit is set in
      fs_info-&gt;fs_state and calls btrfs_cleanup_transaction(), which in
      turn calls btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent();

   10) Then btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent() iterates over all the ranges
       marked as dirty in fs_info-&gt;freed_extents[], and for each one
       it calls discard, if the fs was mounted with "-o discard", and
       adds the range to the free space cache of the respective block
       group;

   11) btrfs_trim_block_group(), invoked from the fitrim ioctl code path,
       sees the free space entries and performs a discard;

   12) After an umount and mount (or fsck), our eb's location on disk was full
       of zeroes, and it should have been untouched, because it was marked as
       dirty in the fs_info-&gt;pinned_extents tree, and therefore used by the
       trees that the last committed superblock points to.

Fix this by not performing a discard and not adding the ranges to the free space
caches - it's useless from this point since the fs is now in readonly mode and
we won't write free space caches to disk anymore (otherwise we would leak space)
nor any new superblock. By not adding the ranges to the free space caches, it
prevents other code paths from allocating that space and write to it as well,
therefore being safer and simpler.

This isn't a new problem, as it's been present since 2011 (git commit
acce952b0263825da32cf10489413dec78053347).

commit a28046956c71985046474283fa3bcd256915fb72 upstream.

We use the modified list to keep track of which extents have been modified so we
know which ones are candidates for logging at fsync() time.  Newly modified
extents are added to the list at modification time, around the same time the
ordered extent is created.  We do this so that we don't have to wait for ordered
extents to complete before we know what we need to log.  The problem is when
something like this happens

log extent 0-4k on inode 1
copy csum for 0-4k from ordered extent into log
sync log
commit transaction
log some other extent on inode 1
ordered extent for 0-4k completes and adds itself onto modified list again
log changed extents
see ordered extent for 0-4k has already been logged
	at this point we assume the csum has been copied
sync log
crash

On replay we will see the extent 0-4k in the log, drop the original 0-4k extent
which is the same one that we are replaying which also drops the csum, and then
we won't find the csum in the log for that bytenr.  This of course causes us to
have errors about not having csums for certain ranges of our inode.  So remove
the modified list manipulation in unpin_extent_cache, any modified extents
should have been added well before now, and we don't want them re-logged.  This
fixes my test that I could reliably reproduce this problem with.  Thanks,
