* mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()Michal Hocko2015-11-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same context. Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and easier to track. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

* block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig2015-07-291-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

* mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner2014-04-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

In the bug fixes category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or ia64 systems.) In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added a few sanity checks. In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily." * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (86 commits) ext4: optimize starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() fails ext4: translate flag bits to strings in tracepoints ext4: fix up error handling for mpage_map_and_submit_extent() jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restart ext4: only zero partial blocks in ext4_zero_partial_blocks() ext4: check error return from ext4_write_inline_data_end() ext4: delete unnecessary C statements ext3,ext4: don't mess with dir_file->f_pos in htree_dirblock_to_tree() jbd2: move superblock checksum calculation to jbd2_write_superblock() ext4: pass inode pointer instead of file pointer to punch hole ext4: improve free space calculation for inline_data ext4: reduce object size when !CONFIG_PRINTK ext4: improve extent cache shrink mechanism to avoid to burn CPU time ext4: implement error handling of ext4_mb_new_preallocation() ext4: fix corruption when online resizing a fs with 1K block size ext4: delete unused variables ext4: return FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN for delalloc extents jbd2: remove debug dependency on debug_fs and update Kconfig help text jbd2: use a single printk for jbd_debug() ...
| * mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept lengthLukas Czerner2013-05-222-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

* fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.Eric W. Biederman2013-03-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts.

This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block device driver puts a limit on maximum number of pages that can be sent with the bio.

However, (after the commit 8e22c1a4e logfs: get rid of magical inodes) while unmounting the file system, in put_super, we call iput() on all of the reserved inodes. The following simple test used to cause a kernel panic on LogFS: 1. Mount a LogFS file system on /mnt 2. Create a file $ touch /mnt/a 3. Try to unmount the FS $ umount /mnt The simple fix would be to drop the assumption and properly destroy the reserved inodes. Signed-off-by: Prasad Joshi <prasadjoshi.linux@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge d3712b9dfcf4 ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream"). The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash. E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad eraseblocks handling, and so on. This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to ensure correct Logfs behavior. I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly. This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad93, and just makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad' function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()" always returns 0. Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad" function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always good".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all mtd drivers define block_isbad(). Let's assume no bad blocks instead of refusing to mount. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org>
| * logfs: Grow inode in delete pathJoern Engel2012-01-281-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Can be necessary if an inode gets deleted (through -ENOSPC) before being written. Might be better to move this into logfs_write_rec(), but for now go with the stupid&safe patch. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org>
