2009-11-05sysfs: Don't leak secdata when a sysfs_dirent is freed.Eric W. Biederman
While refreshing my sysfs patches I noticed a leak in the secdata implementation. We don't free the secdata when we free the sysfs dirent. This is a bug in 2.6.32-rc5 that we really should close.

2009-11-04nfsd: register NFS_ACL with rpcbindPeter Staubach
Modify the NFS server to register the NFS_ACL services with the rpcbind daemon. This allows the client to ping for the existence of the NFS_ACL support via commands such as "rpcinfo -t <server> nfs_acl". This patch also modifies the NFS_ACL support so that responses to version 2 NULLPROC requests can be made. The changelog for the patch which turned off this functionality mentioned something about not registering the NFS_ACL as being part of some tradition. I can't find this tradition and the only other implementation which supports NFS_ACL does register them with the rpcbind daemon. Signed-off-by: Peter Staubach <staubach@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2009-11-04x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bitStefani Seibold
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on x86-64 linux. The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan). The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP macro which always returned -1. The new implementation now returns the right value.

2009-11-04sendfile(): check f_op.splice_write() rather than f_op.sendpage()Changli Gao
sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly. Although if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently. This patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output file. Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

At the end of direct I/O operation, ext4_ext_direct_IO() always called ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), regardless of whether there were any unwritten extents involved in the I/O or not.

2009-11-10ext4: fix ext4_ext_direct_IO()'s return value after converting uninit extentsMingming
After a direct I/O request covering an uninitalized extent (i.e., created using the fallocate system call) or a hole in a file, ext4 will convert the uninitialized extent so it is marked as initialized by calling ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(). This function returns zero on success. This return value was getting returned by ext4_direct_IO(); however the file system's direct_IO function is supposed to return the number of bytes read or written on a success. By returning zero, it confused the direct I/O code into falling back to buffered I/O unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

When nilfs flushes out dirty data to reduce memory pressure, creation of checkpoints is wrongly postponed. This bug causes irregular checkpoint creation especially in small footprint systems.

2009-11-02Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit d0646f7b636d067d715fab52a2ba9c6f0f46b0d7, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place."

2009-11-029p: fix readdir corner casesEric Van Hensbergen
The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize. I'm not sure what people think of my co-opting of fid->aux here. I'd be happy to rework if there's a better way. When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir() currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned, which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description. This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call. Signed-off-by: Jim Garlick <garlick@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2009-11-029p: fix readlinkMartin Stava
I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char, and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so null character may be fine there ;): Signed-off-by: Martin Stava <martin.stava@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

Commit bd169565993b39b9b4b102cdac8b13e0a259ce2f seems to have a slight regression where this code path: if (!--searchdistance) { /* * Not in range - save last search * location and allocate a new inode */ ... goto newino; } doesn't free the temporary cursor (tcur) that got dup'd in this function. This leaks an item in the xfs_btree_cur zone, and it's caught on module unload: =========================================================== BUG xfs_btree_cur: Objects remaining on kmem_cache_close() ----------------------------------------------------------- It seems like maybe a single free at the end of the function might be cleaner, but for now put a del_cursor right in this code block similar to the handling in the rest of the function.

Currently the f_fsid of struct kstatfs returned from ocfs2_statfs() is undefined (vfs layer fills in 0 as default). Since in some conditions, f_fsid value might be used in a (f_fsid, ino) pair to uniquely identify a file, ocfs2 should return a unique defined f_fsid value from ocfs2_statfs(). Because uuid_str is the same on big or litlle endian machine, it's endian consistent to use osb->uuid_str to generate f_fsid value.

A particular fsfuzzer run caused an hfs file system to crash on mount. This is due to a corrupted MDB extent record causing a miscalculation of HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks for the extent tree. If the extent records are zereod out, it won't trigger the first_blocks special case. Instead it falls through to the extent code which we're still in the middle of initializing.

2009-10-29blkdev: flush disk cache on ->fsyncChristoph Hellwig
Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful. Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the ->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync for 2.6.32.
