2008-01-08hfs: handle more on-disk corruptions without oopsingEric Sandeen
hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example. This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases. o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount (these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ) o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer we were trying to set up: HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open() ... failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.

2008-01-08eCryptfs: fix dentry handling on create error, unlink, and inode destroyMichael Halcrow
This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs. If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs. Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs dentry to correct this. eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().

2008-01-08fat: optimize fat_count_free_clusters()OGAWA Hirofumi
On large partition, scanning the free clusters is very slow if users doesn't use "usefree" option. For optimizing it, this patch uses sb_breadahead() to read of FAT sectors.

2008-01-03NFSv4: Fix open_to_lock_owner sequenceid allocation...Trond Myklebust
NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback. Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed. Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the standard lock_seqid.

This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype', which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of the linux dev_t later down the function. Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the inode.

2007-12-10proc: remove/Fix proc generic d_revalidateEric W. Biederman
Ultimately to implement /proc perfectly we need an implementation of d_revalidate because files and directories can be removed behind the back of the VFS, and d_revalidate is the only way we can let the VFS know that this has happened. Unfortunately the linux VFS can not cope with anything in the path to a mount point going away. So a proper d_revalidate method that calls d_drop also needs to call have_submounts which is moderately expensive, so you really don't want a d_revalidate method that unconditionally calls it, but instead only calls it when the backing object has really gone away. proc generic entries only disappear on module_unload (when not counting the fledgling network namespace) so it is quite rare that we actually encounter that case and has not actually caused us real world trouble yet. So until we get a proper test for keeping dentries in the dcache fix the current d_revalidate method by completely removing it. This returns us to the current status quo. So with CONFIG_NETNS=n things should look as they have always looked. For CONFIG_NETNS=y things work most of the time but there are a few rare corner cases that don't behave properly. As the network namespace is barely present in 2.6.24 this should not be a problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fix xfs_ichgtime()s broken usage of I_SYNCDavid Chinner
The recent I_LOCK->I_SYNC changes mistakenly changed xfs_ichgtime to look at I_SYNC instead of I_LOCK. This was incorrect and prevents newly created inodes from moving to the dirty list. Change this to the correct check which is for I_NEW, not I_LOCK or I_SYNC so that behaviour is correct.

2007-12-10[XFS] revert to double-buffering readdirChristoph Hellwig
The current readdir implementation deadlocks on a btree buffers locks because nfsd calls back into ->lookup from the filldir callback. The only short-term fix for this is to revert to the old inefficient double-buffering scheme.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fix broken inode cluster setup.David Chinner
The radix tree based inode caches did away with the inode cluster hashes, replacing them with a bunch of masking and gang lookups on the radix tree. This masking got broken when moving the code to per-ag radix trees and indexing by agino # rather than straight inode number. The result is clustered inode writeback does not cluster and things can go extremely slowly when there are lots of inodes to write. Fix it up by comparing the agino # of the inode we just looked up to the index of the cluster we are looking for.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fixed a few bugs in xfs_buf_associate_memory()Lachlan McIlroy
- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <= PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k). - setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset' is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer. - I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

2007-12-10[XFS] 971064 Various fixups for xfs_bulkstat().Lachlan McIlroy
- sanity check for NULL user buffer in xfs_ioc_bulkstat[_compat]() - remove the special case for XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT with count == 1. This special case causes bulkstat to fail because the special case uses xfs_bulkstat_single() instead of xfs_bulkstat() and the two functions have different semantics. xfs_bulkstat() will return the next inode after the one supplied while skipping internal inodes (ie quota inodes). xfs_bulkstate_single() will only lookup the inode supplied and return an error if it is an internal inode. - in xfs_bulkstat(), need to initialise 'lastino' to the inode supplied so in cases were we return without examining any inodes the scan wont restart back at zero. - sanity check for valid *ubcountp values. Cannot sanity check for valid ubuffer here because some users of xfs_bulkstat() don't supply a buffer. - checks against 'ubleft' (the space left in the user's buffer) should be against 'statstruct_size' which is the supplied minimum object size. The mixture of checks against statstruct_size and 0 was one of the reasons we were skipping inodes. - if the formatter function returns BULKSTAT_RV_NOTHING and an error and the error is not ENOENT or EINVAL then we need to abort the scan. ENOENT is for inodes that are no longer valid and we just skip them. EINVAL is returned if we try to lookup an internal inode so we skip them too. For a DMF scan if the inode and DMF attribute cannot fit into the space left in the user's buffer it would return ERANGE. We didn't handle this error and skipped the inode. We would continue to skip inodes until one fitted into the user's buffer or we completed the scan. - put back the recalculation of agino (that got removed with the last fix) at the end of the while loop. This is because the code at the start of the loop expects agino to be the last inode examined if it is non-zero. - if we found some inodes but then encountered an error, return success this time and the error next time. If the formatter aborted with ENOMEM we will now return this error but only if we couldn't read any inodes. Previously if we encountered ENOMEM without reading any inodes we returned a zero count and no error which falsely indicated the scan was complete.

2007-12-10[XFS] Fix dbflush panic in xfs_qm_sync.Donald Douwsma
The recent behaviour layer removal dropped the check for quotas that have been requested at mount time but have subsequently been turned off. This results in a panic when accessing m_quotainfo which has been freed. This patch adds the check originally made by xfs_qm_syncall() to xfs_qm_sync().

2007-12-05remove nonsense force-casts from ocfs2Al Viro
endianness annotations in networking code had been in place for quite a while; in particular, sin_port and s_addr are annotated as big-endian. Code in ocfs2 had __force casts added apparently to shut the sparse warnings up; of course, these days they only serve to *produce* warnings for no reason whatsoever...
