Badari Pulavarty 0ded4a4aa1 [PATCH] direct-io: fix error-path crashes
Need to initialize map_bh.b_state to zero.  Otherwise, in case of a faulty
user-buffer its possible to go into dio_zero_block() and submit a page by
mistake - since it checks for buffer_new().

akpm: Linus had a (better) patch to just do a kzalloc() in there, but it got
lost.  Probably this version is better for -stable anwyay.

J. Bruce Fields 25d919bd31 [PATCH] nfsd: fix possible read-ahead cache and export table corruption
The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up
instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can
overflow the raparm_hash array.  At least in my case, the next thing in memory
turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the
appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash
table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a
pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization
code).

It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit
fce1456a19 ("knfsd: make the readahead params
cache SMP-friendly").

Jeff Mahoney 1b3bac165e reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bug
The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock.  As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.

This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

Also fixes a very very obscure security corner case.  If you happen to have

Andrew Morton 5dc1802f74 revert "retries in ext3_prepare_write() violate ordering requirements"
Revert e92a4d595b.

Dmitry points out

"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to
 "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh
 and invoke commit_write untill it.  This is wrong!!  because some bh from
 begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate.  As a result we commit to
 disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."

and

"Unexpected file size increasing."

   Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different. 
   For example we have file with i_size is zero.  we want write two blocks ,
   but fs has only one free block.

   ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
     retry:
     ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
     ->ext3_prepare_failure()
       ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
     if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
        goto retry;

   Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
   -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
   help here.

We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.

->readdir passes lofft_t offsets (used as nfs cookies) to
nfs3svc_encode_entry{,_plus}, but when they pass it on to encode_entry it
becomes an 'off_t', which isn't good.

So filesystems that returned 64bit offsets would lose.

Nick Piggin 54710f6004 buffer: memorder fix
unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without
ensuring that the critical section is closed.


Mingming later sent the same patch, saying:

We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended
attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in
ext3_xattr_release_block()).  The problem could also been triggered by
multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree.

The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the
lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. 
That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that
we have seen.

Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock
bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is
cleared.  On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit
instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered.

The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1,

cpu 0:                                   cpu1

Ken Chen 858965e60c hugetlb: preserve hugetlb pte dirty state
__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of
huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range.  It causes data corruption in the
event of dop_caches being used by sys admin.  For example, an application
creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it.  While leaving the
hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".

drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if
there are no active mapping.  Later when application remaps the hugetlb
file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on
application.

Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed
up.  Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately.

Evgeniy Dushistov a45d5cf5d2 ufs: restore back support of openstep

Patch with name ufs-directory-and-page-cache-from-blocks-to-pages.patch: in
additional to conversation from block to page cache mechanism added new
checks of directory integrity, one of them that directory entry do not
across directory chunks.

But some kinds of UFS: OpenStep UFS and Apple UFS (looks like these are the
same filesystems) have different directory chunk size, then common
UFSes(BSD and Solaris UFS).

So this patch adds ability to works with variable size of directory chunks,
and set it for ufstype=openstep to right size.

Hugh Dickins b007a0873c fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2
or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by
a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.

This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.

We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured.  We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).

Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

Andrew Morton b2e895dbd8 [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version
Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput
slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against
blockdevs.  We don't know why either of these things are occurring.

The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20
release.

See report: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116599593200888&w=2

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug.  It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.

The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:

cpu0                               cpu1
io_destroy                         aio_complete
  wait_for_all_aios {                __aio_put_req
     ...                                 ctx->reqs_active--;
     if (!ctx->reqs_active)
        return;
  }
  ...
  put_ioctx(ioctx)

                                     put_ioctx(ctx);
                                        __put_ioctx
                                          bam! Bug trigger!

The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.

This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx.  This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

But keep it as a dprintk

The message can be generated in a quite normal situation:
 If a 'lock' request is interrupted, then the lock client needs to
  record that the server has the lock, incase it does.
 When we come the unlock, the server might say it doesn't, even
  though we think it does (or might) and this generates the message.

We pass from ufs::get_block_t to levels below: pointer to the current page, to
make possible things like reallocation of blocks on the fly, and we also uses
this pointer for indication, what actually we allocate data block or meta data
block, but currently we make decision about what we allocate on the wrong
level, this may and cause oops if we allocate blocks in some special order.

NeilBrown a0ad13ef64 [PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd
nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'.  It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed.  This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.

So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now.  Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.
