2008-07-12[SCSI] bsg: fix oops on removeJames Bottomley
If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg.

2008-07-12[SCSI] fusion: default MSI to disabled for SPI and FC controllersJames Bottomley
There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond correctly to MSI. The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so default both these cases to disabled. Enable by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=1. For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.

2008-07-12x86_64: fix delayed signalsRoland McGrath
On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to do_notify_resume() before going to user mode. These paths set the mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong. The other paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases. All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled. Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were set any time after we entered do_notify_resume(). More work flags can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs (which then send an asynchronous interrupt). There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of them races. The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that should be handled. The second signal's handler should interrupt the first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC is still at the handler's entry point). Instead, it runs away until the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc). This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit (either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary). With this fix, it works. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/ucontext.h> #ifndef REG_RIP #define REG_RIP REG_EIP #endif static sig_atomic_t hit1, hit2; static void handler (int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *ctx) { ucontext_t *uc = ctx; if ((void *) uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP] == &handler) { if (sig == SIGUSR1) hit1 = 1; else hit2 = 1; } printf ("%s at %#lx\n", strsignal (sig), uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RIP]); } int main (void) { struct sigaction sa; sigset_t set; sigemptyset (&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sa.sa_sigaction = &handler; if (sigaction (SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL) || sigaction (SIGUSR2, &sa, NULL)) return 2; sigemptyset (&set); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR1); sigaddset (&set, SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 3; printf ("main at %p, handler at %p\n", &main, &handler); raise (SIGUSR1); raise (SIGUSR2); if (sigprocmask (SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL)) return 4; if (hit1 + hit2 == 1) { puts ("PASS"); return 0; } puts ("FAIL"); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-07-11ext4: Don't allow nonextenst mount option for large filesystemAneesh Kumar K.V
The block mapped inode format can address only blocks within 2**32. This causes a number of issues, the biggest of which is that the block allocator needs to be taught that certain inodes can not utilize block numbers > 2**32. So until this is fixed, it is simplest to fail mounting of file systems with more than 2**32 blocks if the -o noextents option is given.

2008-07-11ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for statMingming Cao
Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the blocks are actually allocaed on disk. This means with delayed allocation, right after files are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk. "du" also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the user. Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

2008-07-11ext4: fix delalloc i_disksize early update issueMingming Cao
Ext4_da_write_end() used walk_page_buffers() with a callback function of ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to check if it extended the file size without allocating any blocks (since in this case i_disksize needs to be updated). However, this is didn't work proprely because the buffer head has not been marked dirty yet --- this is done later in block_commit_write() --- which caused ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to always return false. In addition, walk_page_buffers() checks all of the buffer heads covering the page, and the only buffer_head that should be checked is the one covering the end of the write. Otherwise, given a 1k blocksize filesystem and a 4k page size, the buffer head covering the first 1k stripe of the file could be unmapped (because it was a sparse file), and the second or third buffer_head covering that page could be mapped, and using walk_page_buffers() would fail in this case since it would stop at the first unmapped buffer_head and return true. The core problem is that walk_page_buffers() was intended to do work in a callback function, and a non-zero return value indicated a failure, which termined the walk of the buffer heads covering the page. It was not intended to be used with a boolean function, such as ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay(). Add addtional fix from Aneesh to protect i_disksize update rave with truncate.

2008-07-11ext4: Handle page without buffers in ext4_*_writepage()Aneesh Kumar K.V
It can happen that buffers are removed from the page before it gets marked dirty and then is passed to writepage(). In writepage() we just initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we mark them dirty. With this change we don't do block allocation at all in ext4_*_write_page. writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in writepage() which get called after taking page lock. writepage() can get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was created for doing inode update. For example when doing ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using credits that had been reserved for other updates. That it could result in we running out of credits when we update inodes.

2008-07-11ext4: Add ordered mode support for delallocAneesh Kumar K.V
This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the related data chage. Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for those inodes. In addition, the new ordered mode reverses the lock ordering of the page lock and transaction lock, which provides easier support for delayed allocation.

2008-07-11mm: Add range_cont mode for writebackAneesh Kumar K.V
Filesystems like ext4 needs to start a new transaction in the writepages for block allocation. This happens with delayed allocation and there is limit to how many credits we can request from the journal layer. So we call write_cache_pages multiple times with wbc->nr_to_write set to the maximum possible value limitted by the max journal credits available. Add a new mode to writeback that enables us to handle this behaviour. In the new mode we update the wbc->range_start to point to the new offset to be written. Next call to call to write_cache_pages will start writeout from specified range_start offset. In the new mode we also limit writing to the specified wbc->range_end.

With the changes, during tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to take the page lock.

2008-07-11ext4: Update i_disksize properly when allocating from fallocate area.Aneesh Kumar K.V
When allocating unitialized space at the end of file which had been preallocated with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option, the file size is not updated at that time. But the later we are not updating the file size when writing to that preallocated space. These changes are for code correctness. This patch allows us to update the i_disksize at the write_end() callback of filesystem properly.

2008-07-13jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit ↵Mingming Cao
transaction journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with journal locked.
