2010-07-22cifs: use workqueue instead of slow-workTejun Heo
Workqueue can now handle high concurrency. Use system_nrt_wq instead of slow-work. * Updated is_valid_oplock_break() to not call cifs_oplock_break_put() as advised by Steve French. It might cause deadlock. Instead, reference is increased after queueing succeeded and cifs_oplock_break() briefly grabs GlobalSMBSeslock before putting the cfile to make sure it doesn't put before the matching get is finished. * Anton Blanchard reported that cifs conversion was using now gone system_single_wq.

2010-07-22CIFS: Fix a malicious redirect problem in the DNS lookup codeDavid Howells
Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524]. This is done by creating an internal keyring specifically for the caching of DNS lookups. To enforce the use of this keyring, the module init routine creates a set of override credentials with the keyring installed as the thread keyring and instructs request_key() to only install lookup result keys in that keyring. The override is then applied around the call to request_key(). This has some additional benefits when a kernel service uses this module to request a key: (1) The result keys are owned by root, not the user that caused the lookup. (2) The result keys don't pop up in the user's keyrings. (3) The result keys don't come out of the quota of the user that caused the lookup. The keyring can be viewed as root by doing cat /proc/keys: 2a0ca6c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 1/4 It can then be listed with 'keyctl list' by root. # keyctl list 0x2a0ca6c3 1 key in keyring: 726766307: --alswrv 0 0 dns_resolver: foo.bar.com Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Reviewed-and-Tested-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-07-21ext3: Avoid filesystem corruption after a crash under heavy delete loadJan Kara
It can happen that ext3_free_branches calls ext3_forget() for an indirect block in an earlier transaction than a transaction in which we clear pointer to this indirect block. Thus if we crash before a transaction clearing the block pointer is committed, we will see indirect block pointing to already freed blocks and complain during orphan list cleanup.

2010-07-20xfs: track AGs with reclaimable inodes in per-ag radix treeDave Chinner
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16348 When the filesystem grows to a large number of allocation groups, the summing of recalimable inodes gets expensive. In many cases, most AGs won't have any reclaimable inodes and so we are wasting CPU time aggregating over these AGs. This is particularly important for the inode shrinker that gets called frequently under memory pressure. To avoid the overhead, track AGs with reclaimable inodes in the per-ag radix tree so that we can find all the AGs with reclaimable inodes via a simple gang tag lookup. This involves setting the tag when the first reclaimable inode is tracked in the AG, and removing the tag when the last reclaimable inode is removed from the tree. Then the summation process becomes a loop walking the radix tree summing AGs with the reclaim tag set. This significantly reduces the overhead of scanning - a 6400 AG filesystea now only uses about 25% of a cpu in kswapd while slab reclaim progresses instead of being permanently stuck at 100% CPU and making little progress. Clean filesystems filesystems will see no overhead and the overhead only increases linearly with the number of dirty AGs.

2010-07-15jbd2/ocfs2: Fix block checksumming when a buffer is used in several transactionsJan Kara
OCFS2 uses t_commit trigger to compute and store checksum of the just committed blocks. When a buffer has b_frozen_data, checksum is computed for it instead of b_data but this can result in an old checksum being written to the filesystem in the following scenario: 1) transaction1 is opened 2) handle1 is opened 3) journal_access(handle1, bh) - This sets jh->b_transaction to transaction1 4) modify(bh) 5) journal_dirty(handle1, bh) 6) handle1 is closed 7) start committing transaction1, opening transaction2 8) handle2 is opened 9) journal_access(handle2, bh) - This copies off b_frozen_data to make it safe for transaction1 to commit. jh->b_next_transaction is set to transaction2. 10) jbd2_journal_write_metadata() checksums b_frozen_data 11) the journal correctly writes b_frozen_data to the disk journal 12) handle2 is closed - There was no dirty call for the bh on handle2, so it is never queued for any more journal operation 13) Checkpointing finally happens, and it just spools the bh via normal buffer writeback. This will write b_data, which was never triggered on and thus contains a wrong (old) checksum. This patch fixes the problem by calling the trigger at the moment data is frozen for journal commit - i.e., either when b_frozen_data is created by do_get_write_access or just before we write a buffer to the log if b_frozen_data does not exist. We also rename the trigger to t_frozen as that better describes when it is called.

2010-07-15GFS2: rename causes kernel OopsBob Peterson
This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code. The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying to re-use sentinel directory entries. In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a file to another name that had the same non-trivial length. The file being renamed happened to be the first directory entry on the leaf block. First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the original directory entry and decided it could do its job by simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed. Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block. Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to reference it. In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0 rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size. Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work properly. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

2010-07-15GFS2: Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference by dlm_astdBob Peterson
This patch fixes a problem in an error path when looking up dinodes. There are two sister-functions, gfs2_inode_lookup and gfs2_process_unlinked_inode. Both functions acquire and hold the i_iopen glock for the dinode being looked up. The last thing they try to do is hold the i_gl glock for the dinode. If that glock fails for some reason, the error path was incorrectly calling gfs2_glock_put for the i_iopen glock twice. This resulted in the glock being prematurely freed. The "minimum hold time" usually kept the glock in memory, but the lock interface to dlm (aka lock_dlm) freed its memory for the glock. In some circumstances, it would cause dlm's dlm_astd daemon to try to call the bast function for the freed lock_dlm memory, which resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.
