e5bc49ba74 pipe_rdwr_fasync: fix the error handling to prevent the leak/crash
If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error
but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers.

This was always wrong, but since 233e70f4228e78eb2f80dc6650f65d3ae3dbf17c
"saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem.  Because in
this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do
->fasync(0), and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the
freed file.

9f4c899c0d NFS: Fix the fix to Bugzilla #11061, when IPv6 isn't defined...
Stephen Rothwell reports:

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/built-in.o: In function `.nfs_get_client':
client.c:(.text+0x115010): undefined reference to `.__ipv6_addr_type'

Fix by moving the IPV6 specific parts of commit
d7371c41b0cda782256b1df759df4e8d4724584c ("Bug 11061, NFS mounts dropped")
into the '#ifdef IPV6..." section.

363911d027 Squashfs: Valid filesystems are flagged as bad by the corrupted fs patch
The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption.  This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available.  This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.

This patch does a number of things.  It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption.  It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

d7371c41b0 Bug 11061, NFS mounts dropped
Addresses: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11061

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

57df675c60 NLM: Fix GRANT callback address comparison when IPv6 is enabled
The NFS mount command may pass an AF_INET server address to lockd.  If
lockd happens to be using a PF_INET6 listener, the nlm_cmp_addr() in
nlmclnt_grant() will fail to match requests from that host because they
will all have a mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 address.

Adopt the same solution used in nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr() for NFSv4
callbacks: if either address is AF_INET, map it to an AF_INET6 address
before doing the comparison.

395a87bfef ext4: fix header check in ext4_ext_search_right() for deep extent trees.
The ext4_ext_search_right() function is confusing; it uses a
"depth" variable which is 0 at the root and maximum at the leaves, 
but the on-disk metadata uses a "depth" (actually eh_depth) which
is opposite: maximum at the root, and 0 at the leaves.

The ext4_ext_check_header() function is given a depth and checks
the header agaisnt that depth; it expects the on-disk semantics,
but we are giving it the opposite in the while loop in this 
function.  We should be giving it the on-disk notion of "depth"
which we can get from (p_depth - depth) - and if you look, the last
(more commonly hit) call to ext4_ext_check_header() does just this.

Sending in the wrong depth results in (incorrect) messages
about corruption:

EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_search_right: bad header
in inode #2621457: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 340,
max 340(0), depth 1(2)

4184ea7f90 Btrfs: Fix locking around adding new space_info
Storage allocated to different raid levels in btrfs is tracked by
a btrfs_space_info structure, and all of the current space_infos are
collected into a list_head.

Most filesystems have 3 or 4 of these structs total, and the list is
only changed when new raid levels are added or at unmount time.

This commit adds rcu locking on the list head, and properly frees
things at unmount time.  It also clears the space_info->full flag
whenever new space is added to the FS.

The locking for the space info list goes like this:

reads: protected by rcu_read_lock()
writes: protected by the chunk_mutex

At unmount time we don't need special locking because all the readers
are gone.

7ce9d5d1f3 ext4: fix ext4_free_inode() vs. ext4_claim_inode() race
I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread
dbench run on a 4 cpu machine:

Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc...

I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic
bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic 
bitops for synchronization, commit 
393418676a7602e1d7d3f6e560159c65c8cbd50e changed this to use
the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against
read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables.

However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops,
which I think leaves no synchronization between setting & 
unsetting bits in the inode table.

The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're 
getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...

        fs/bio.c: In function ?bio_alloc_bioset?:
        fs/bio.c:305: warning: ?p? may be used uninitialized in this function

since it cannot figure out that 'p' is only ever used if 'bs' is non-NULL.

8f64b32eb7 ext4: don't call jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested without journal
Running without a journal, I oopsed when I ran out of space,
because we called jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested() from
ext4_should_retry_alloc() without a journal.

This should take care of it, I think.

d8ae4601a4 ext4: Reorder fs/Makefile so that ext2 root fs's are mounted using ext2
In fs/Makefile, ext3 was placed before ext2 so that a root filesystem
that possessed a journal, it would be mounted as ext3 instead of ext2.
This was necessary because a cleanly unmounted ext3 filesystem was
fully backwards compatible with ext2, and could be mounted by ext2 ---
but it was desirable that it be mounted with ext3 so that the
journaling would be enabled.

The ext4 filesystem supports new incompatible features, so there is no
danger of an ext4 filesystem being mistaken for an ext2 filesystem.
At that point, the relative ordering of ext4 with respect to ext2
didn't matter until ext4 gained the ability to mount filesystems
without a journal starting in 2.6.29-rc1.  Now that this is the case,
given that ext4 is before ext2, it means that root filesystems that
were using the plain-jane ext2 format are getting mounted using the
ext4 filesystem driver, which is a change in behavior which could be
surprising to users.

It's doubtful that there are that many ext2-only root filesystem users
that would also have ext4 compiled into the kernel, but to adhere to
the principle of least surprise, the correct ordering in fs/Makefile
is ext3, followed by ext2, and finally ext4.

8b1a8ff8b3 ext4: Remove duplicate call to ext4_commit_super() in ext4_freeze()
Commit c4be0c1d added error checking to ext4_freeze() when calling
ext4_commit_super().  Unfortunately the patch failed to remove the
original call to ext4_commit_super(), with the net result that when
freezing the filesystem, the superblock gets written twice, the first
time without error checking.

cac711211a proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized
de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is
called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause
something like
remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496
to be printed to the syslog.

The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in
proc_get_inode.

ebd3610b11 ext4: Fix deadlock in ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin()
Functions ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() call
grab_cache_page_write_begin() without AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Thus it
can happen that page reclaim is triggered in that function
and it recurses back into the filesystem (or some other filesystem).
But this can lead to various problems as a transaction is already
started at that point. Add the necessary flag.

05bf9e839d ext4: Add fallback for find_group_flex
This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be
replaced.  One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm)
is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under
suspicious circumstances.  This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures
even when there are inodes still available.

Work around this for now by retrying the search using
find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1.  If
find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a
warning message.

A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has
been queued up for the next merge window.
