livelock avoidance in sget()

2013-08-04T08:25:59+00:00

commit acfec9a5a892f98461f52ed5770de99a3e571ae2 upstream.

Eric Sandeen has found a nasty livelock in sget() - take a mount(2) about
to fail.  The superblock is on ->fs_supers, ->s_umount is held exclusive,
->s_active is 1.  Along comes two more processes, trying to mount the same
thing; sget() in each is picking that superblock, bumping ->s_count and
trying to grab ->s_umount.  ->s_active is 3 now.  Original mount(2)
finally gets to deactivate_locked_super() on failure; ->s_active is 2,
superblock is still ->fs_supers because shutdown will *not* happen until
->s_active hits 0.  ->s_umount is dropped and now we have two processes
chasing each other:
s_active = 2, A acquired ->s_umount, B blocked
A sees that the damn thing is stillborn, does deactivate_locked_super()
s_active = 1, A drops ->s_umount, B gets it
A restarts the search and finds the same superblock.  And bumps it ->s_active.
s_active = 2, B holds ->s_umount, A blocked on trying to get it
... and we are in the earlier situation with A and B switched places.

The root cause, of course, is that ->s_active should not grow until we'd
got MS_BORN.  Then failing ->mount() will have deactivate_locked_super()
shut the damn thing down.  Fortunately, it's easy to do - the key point
is that grab_super() is called only for superblocks currently on ->fs_supers,
so it can bump ->s_count and grab ->s_umount first, then check MS_BORN and
bump ->s_active; we must never increment ->s_count for superblocks past
->kill_sb(), but grab_super() is never called for those.

The bug is pretty old; we would've caught it by now, if not for accidental
exclusion between sget() for block filesystems; the things like cgroup or
e.g. mtd-based filesystems don't have anything of that sort, so they get
bitten.  The right way to deal with that is obviously to fix sget()...

Btrfs: re-add root to dead root list if we stop dropping it

2013-08-04T08:25:54+00:00

commit d29a9f629e009c9b90e5859bce581070fd6247fc upstream.

If we stop dropping a root for whatever reason we need to add it back to the
dead root list so that we will re-start the dropping next transaction commit.
The other case this happens is if we recover a drop because we will add a root
without adding it to the fs radix tree, so we can leak it's root and commit root
extent buffer, adding this to the dead root list makes this cleanup happen.

Btrfs: fix lock leak when resuming snapshot deletion

2013-08-04T08:25:54+00:00

commit fec386ac1428f9c0e672df952cbca5cebd4e4e2f upstream.

We aren't setting path->locks[level] when we resume a snapshot deletion which
means we won't unlock the buffer when we free the path.  This causes deadlocks
if we happen to re-allocate the block before we've evicted the extent buffer
from cache.  Thanks,

lockd: protect nlm_blocked access in nlmsvc_retry_blocked

2013-07-28T23:26:17+00:00

commit 1c327d962fc420aea046c16215a552710bde8231 upstream.

In nlmsvc_retry_blocked, the check that the list is non-empty and acquiring
the pointer of the first entry is unprotected by any lock.  This allows a rare
race condition when there is only one entry on the list.  A function such as
nlmsvc_grant_callback() can be called, which will temporarily remove the entry
from the list.  Between the list_empty() and list_entry(),the list may become
empty, causing an invalid pointer to be used as an nlm_block, leading to a
possible crash.

This patch adds the nlm_block_lock around these calls to prevent concurrent
use of the nlm_blocked list.

This was a regression introduced by

writeback: Fix periodic writeback after fs mount

2013-07-28T23:26:08+00:00

commit a5faeaf9109578e65e1a32e2a3e76c8b47e7dcb6 upstream.

Code in blkdev.c moves a device inode to default_backing_dev_info when
the last reference to the device is put and moves the device inode back
to its bdi when the first reference is acquired. This includes moving to
wb.b_dirty list if the device inode is dirty. The code however doesn't
setup timer to wake corresponding flusher thread and while wb.b_dirty
list is non-empty __mark_inode_dirty() will not set it up either. Thus
periodic writeback is effectively disabled until a sync(2) call which can
lead to unexpected data loss in case of crash or power failure.

Fix the problem by setting up a timer for periodic writeback in case we
add the first dirty inode to wb.b_dirty list in bdev_inode_switch_bdi().

ext3: fix data=journal fast mount/umount hang

2013-07-28T23:25:40+00:00

commit e643692138cfa33528f054b071ba2583509bb217 upstream.

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
That triggers the WARN_ONCE in __log_start_commit().

Arguably we should adjust ext3_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext3_evict_inode(), and so it's to save a bit of CPU time, and to make
the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it
by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.

This can be easily replicated via:

     mount -t ext3 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb

This is a port of ext4 fix from Ted Ts'o.

Handle big endianness in NTLM (ntlmv2) authentication

2013-07-22T01:19:02+00:00

commit fdf96a907c1fbb93c633e2b7ede3b8df26d6a4c0 upstream.

This is RH bug 970891
Uppercasing of username during calculation of ntlmv2 hash fails
because UniStrupr function does not handle big endian wchars.

Also fix a comment in the same code to reflect its correct usage.

[To make it easier for stable (rather than require 2nd patch) fixed

ext4: don't allow ext4_free_blocks() to fail due to ENOMEM

2013-07-22T01:19:02+00:00

commit e7676a704ee0a1ef71a6b23760b5a8f6896cb1a1 upstream.

The filesystem should not be marked inconsistent if ext4_free_blocks()
is not able to allocate memory.  Unfortunately some callers (most
notably ext4_truncate) don't have a way to reflect an error back up to
the VFS.  And even if we did, most userspace applications won't deal
with most system calls returning ENOMEM anyway.

ext4: fix overflow when counting used blocks on 32-bit architectures

2013-07-22T01:19:01+00:00

commit 8af8eecc1331dbf5e8c662022272cf667e213da5 upstream.

The arithmetics adding delalloc blocks to the number of used blocks in
ext4_getattr() can easily overflow on 32-bit archs as we first multiply
number of blocks by blocksize and then divide back by 512. Make the
arithmetics more clever and also use proper type (unsigned long long
instead of unsigned long).
