NFSv4: Doh! Typo in the fix to nfs41_walk_client_list

2013-04-12T16:52:12+00:00

commit eb04e0ac198cec3bab407ad220438dfa65c19c67 upstream.

Make sure that we set the status to 0 on success. Missed in testing
because it never appears when doing multiple mounts to _different_
servers.

NFSv4/4.1: Fix bugs in nfs4[01]_walk_client_list

2013-04-12T16:52:10+00:00

commit 7b1f1fd1842e6ede25183c267ae733a7f67f00bc upstream.

It is unsafe to use list_for_each_entry_safe() here, because
when we drop the nn->nfs_client_lock, we pin the _current_ list
entry and ensure that it stays in the list, but we don't do the
same for the _next_ list entry. Use of list_for_each_entry() is
therefore the correct thing to do.

Also fix the refcounting in nfs41_walk_client_list().

Finally, ensure that the nfs_client has finished being initialised
and, in the case of NFSv4.1, that the session is set up.

NFSv4: Fix a memory leak in nfs4_discover_server_trunking

commit b193d59a4863ea670872d76dc99231ddeb598625 upstream.

When we assign a new rpc_client to clp->cl_rpcclient, we need to destroy
the old one.

reiserfs: Fix warning and inode leak when deleting inode with xattrs

2013-04-12T16:52:03+00:00

commit 35e5cbc0af240778e61113286c019837e06aeec6 upstream.

After commit 21d8a15a (lookup_one_len: don't accept . and ..) reiserfs
started failing to delete xattrs from inode. This was due to a buggy
test for '.' and '..' in fill_with_dentries() which resulted in passing
'.' and '..' entries to lookup_one_len() in some cases. That returned
error and so we failed to iterate over all xattrs of and inode.

Fix the test in fill_with_dentries() along the lines of the one in
lookup_one_len().

UBIFS: make space fixup work in the remount case

2013-04-12T16:52:03+00:00

commit 67e753ca41782913d805ff4a8a2b0f60b26b7915 upstream.

The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken"
flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the
result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty
NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave
side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty
pages.

The fix-up feature works roughly like this:
1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image
   (see -F option)
2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup
   flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot
   of time.
3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock.

This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time.
But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O,
and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too
late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it
starts being used.

Btrfs: fix space leak when we fail to reserve metadata space

2013-04-05T16:26:16+00:00

commit f4881bc7a83eff263789dd524b7c269d138d4af5 upstream.

Dave reported a warning when running xfstest 275.  We have been leaking delalloc
metadata space when our reservations fail.  This is because we were improperly
calculating how much space to free for our checksum reservations.  The problem
is we would sometimes free up space that had already been freed in another
thread and we would end up with negative usage for the delalloc space.  This
patch fixes the problem by calculating how much space the other threads would
have already freed, and then calculate how much space we need to free had we not
done the reservation at all, and then freeing any excess space.  This makes
xfstests 275 no longer have leaked space.  Thanks

nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths

2013-04-05T16:26:15+00:00

commit 64a817cfbded8674f345d1117b117f942a351a69 upstream.

Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative"
length can get through here.

The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an
excessive size.

loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use

2013-04-05T16:26:05+00:00

commit c1681bf8a7b1b98edee8b862a42c19c4e53205fd upstream.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
  bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
  loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]
  lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop]
  lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop]
  compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290
  do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0
  compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
  do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
  sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
  while [ true ]; do
    losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    losetup -d /dev/loop0
  done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
  time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
  Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
  it will get EBUSY.  And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
  device we'll get ENXIO.

  loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
  loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

Btrfs: don't drop path when printing out tree errors in scrub

2013-04-05T16:26:02+00:00

commit d8fe29e9dea8d7d61fd140d8779326856478fc62 upstream.

A user reported a panic where we were panicing somewhere in
tree_backref_for_extent from scrub_print_warning.  He only captured the trace
but looking at scrub_print_warning we drop the path right before we mess with
the extent buffer to print out a bunch of stuff, which isn't right.  So fix this
by dropping the path after we use the eb if we need to.  Thanks,

Btrfs: limit the global reserve to 512mb

2013-04-05T16:26:02+00:00

commit fdf30d1c1b386e1b73116cc7e0fb14e962b763b0 upstream.

A user reported a problem where he was getting early ENOSPC with hundreds of
gigs of free data space and 6 gigs of free metadata space.  This is because the
global block reserve was taking up the entire free metadata space.  This is
ridiculous, we have infrastructure in place to throttle if we start using too
much of the global reserve, so instead of letting it get this huge just limit it
to 512mb so that users can still get work done.  This allowed the user to
complete his rsync without issues.  Thanks
