BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348670

Fix regression introduced in pre-3.14 kernels by cherry-picking
aa07c713ecfc0522916f3cd57ac628ea6127c0ec
(NFSD: Call -&gt;set_acl with a NULL ACL structure if no entries).

The affected code was removed in 3.14 by commit
4ac7249ea5a0ceef9f8269f63f33cc873c3fac61
(nfsd: use get_acl and -&gt;set_acl).
The -&gt;set_acl methods are already able to cope with a NULL argument.

commit 7ba3ec5749ddb61f79f7be17b5fd7720eebc52de upstream.

Commit 8e3dffc651cb "Ext2: mark inode dirty after the function
dquot_free_block_nodirty is called" unveiled a bug in __ext2_get_block()
called from ext2_get_xip_mem(). That function called ext2_get_block()
mistakenly asking it to map 0 blocks while 1 was intended. Before the
above mentioned commit things worked out fine by luck but after that commit
we started returning that we allocated 0 blocks while we in fact
allocated 1 block and thus allocation was looping until all blocks in
the filesystem were exhausted.

Fix the problem by properly asking for one block and also add assertion
in ext2_get_blocks() to catch similar problems.

commit c99d1e6e83b06744c75d9f5e491ed495a7086b7b upstream.

If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory
allocation failure), it's possible that we will call
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any
blocks.  In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac-&gt;ac_f_ex will still
be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0)
triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks():

	BUG_ON(last &gt;= (sb-&gt;s_blocksize &lt;&lt; 3));

Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len
is zero.

Also fix a missing ext4_mb_unload_buddy() call in
ext4_discard_allocated_blocks().

commit 5760a97c7143c208fa3a8f8cad0ed7dd672ebd28 upstream.

There is a deadlock case which reported by Guozhonghua:
  https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2014-September/010079.html

This case is caused by &amp;res-&gt;spinlock and &amp;dlm-&gt;master_lock
misordering in different threads.

It was introduced by commit 8d400b81cc83 ("ocfs2/dlm: Clean up refmap
helpers").  Since lockres is new, it doesn't not require the
&amp;res-&gt;spinlock.  So remove it.

<title>nilfs2: fix data loss with mmap()</title>

commit 56d7acc792c0d98f38f22058671ee715ff197023 upstream.

This bug leads to reproducible silent data loss, despite the use of
msync(), sync() and a clean unmount of the file system.  It is easily
reproducible with the following script:

  ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
  mkfs.nilfs2 -f /dev/sdb
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=30 of=/mnt/testfile

  umount /mnt
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  CHECKSUM_BEFORE="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"

  /root/mmaptest/mmaptest /mnt/testfile 30 10 5

  sync
  CHECKSUM_AFTER="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"
  umount /mnt
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"
  umount /mnt

  echo "BEFORE MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_BEFORE"
  echo "AFTER MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER"
  echo "AFTER REMOUNT:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT"
  ----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------

The mmaptest tool looks something like this (very simplified, with
error checking removed):

  ----------------[BEGIN mmaptest]--------------------
  data = mmap(NULL, file_size - file_offset, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
              MAP_SHARED, fd, file_offset);

  for (i = 0; i &lt; write_count; ++i) {
        memcpy(data + i * 4096, buf, sizeof(buf));
        msync(data, file_size - file_offset, MS_SYNC))
  }
  ----------------[END mmaptest]--------------------

The output of the script looks something like this:

  BEFORE MMAP:    281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83  /mnt/testfile
  AFTER MMAP:     6604a1c31f10780331a6850371b3a313  /mnt/testfile
  AFTER REMOUNT:  281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83  /mnt/testfile

So it is clear, that the changes done using mmap() do not survive a
remount.  This can be reproduced a 100% of the time.  The problem was
introduced in commit 136e8770cd5d ("nilfs2: fix issue of
nilfs_set_page_dirty() for page at EOF boundary").

If the page was read with mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages() for
example, then it has no buffers attached to it.  In that case
page_has_buffers(page) in nilfs_set_page_dirty() will be false.
Therefore nilfs_set_file_dirty() is never called and the pages are never
collected and never written to disk.

This patch fixes the problem by also calling nilfs_set_file_dirty() if the
page has no buffers attached to it.

<title>Fix nasty 32-bit overflow bug in buffer i/o code.</title>

commit f2d5a94436cc7cc0221b9a81bba2276a25187dd3 upstream.

On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always
handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus
fail on 4TB+ disks.

Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(),
sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit
block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop
in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg
like this:

  __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648
  b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512
  device sda1 blocksize: 512

Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the
top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top).

This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due
to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on
32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number.  But the top
bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit
before the shift.

This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before
doing the left shift.

Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a
4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes.

This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5
kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop".  Without this patch
doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop
100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

commit cd9288ffaea4359d5cfe2b8d264911506aed26a4 upstream.

James Drew reports another bug whereby the NFS client is now sending
an OPEN_DOWNGRADE in a situation where it should really have sent a
CLOSE: the client is opening the file for O_RDWR, but then trying to
do a downgrade to O_RDONLY, which is not allowed by the NFSv4 spec.

commit 4023bfc9f351a7994fb6a7d515476c320f94a574 upstream.

in the former we simply check if dentry is still valid after picking
its -&gt;d_inode; in the latter we fetch -&gt;d_inode in the same places
where we fetch dentry and its -&gt;d_seq, under the same checks.

This is needed before commit 4023bfc9f351 ('be careful with nd-&gt;inode
in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu()').  A similar change was made
upstream as part of commit b37199e626b3 ('rcuwalk: recheck mount_lock
after mountpoint crossing attempts').

<title>don't bugger nd-&gt;seq on set_root_rcu() from follow_dotdot_rcu()</title>

commit 7bd88377d482e1eae3c5329b12e33cfd664fa6a9 upstream.

return the value instead, and have path_init() do the assignment.  Broken by
"vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number",
which was Cc-stable with 2.6.38+ as destination.  This one should go where
it went.

To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do
no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value
is guaranteed to have nd-&gt;root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way),
lift the check into callers.  And do the same to set_root(), to keep them
in sync.
