The initialized compressors should be released if one of them

function instead of the macro in jffs2_compressors_init() to
simplify the codes, no functional change intended.

<title>jffs2: correct logic when creating a hole in jffs2_write_begin</title>

<id>23892d383bee15b64f5463bd7195615734bb2415</id>

Bug description and fix:

1. Write data to a file, say all 1s from offset 0 to 16.

2. Truncate the file to a smaller size, say 8 bytes.

3. Write new bytes (say 2s) from an offset past the original size of the
file, say at offset 20, for 4 bytes.  This is supposed to create a "hole"
in the file, meaning that the bytes from offset 8 (where it was truncated
above) up to the new write at offset 20, should all be 0s (zeros).

4. Flush all caches using "echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" (or unmount
and remount) the f/s.

5. Check the content of the file.  It is wrong.  The 1s that used to be
between bytes 9 and 16, before the truncation, have REAPPEARED (they should
be 0s).

We wrote a script and helper C program to reproduce the bug
(reproduce_jffs2_write_begin_issue.sh, write_file.c, and Makefile).  We can
make them available to anyone.

The above example is shown when writing a small file within the same first
page.  But the bug happens for larger files, as long as steps 1, 2, and 3
above all happen within the same page.

The problem was traced to the jffs2_write_begin code, where it goes into an
'if' statement intended to handle writes past the current EOF (i.e., writes
that may create a hole).  The code computes a 'pageofs' that is the floor
of the write position (pos), aligned to the page size boundary.  In other
words, 'pageofs' will never be larger than 'pos'.  The code then sets the
internal jffs2_raw_inode-&gt;isize to the size of max(current inode size,
pageofs) but that is wrong: the new file size should be the 'pos', which is
larger than both the current inode size and pageofs.

Similarly, the code incorrectly sets the internal jffs2_raw_inode-&gt;dsize to
the difference between the pageofs minus current inode size; instead it
should be the current pos minus the current inode size.  Finally,
inode-&gt;i_size was also set incorrectly.

The patch below fixes this bug.  The bug was discovered using a new tool
for finding f/s bugs using model checking, called MCFS (Model Checking File
Systems).

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
