Ernie Petrides ee731f4f78 [PATCH] fix wrong error code on interrupted close syscalls
The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value.  This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.

I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close().  Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.

But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called.  Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong).  What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.

The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR.  This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page.  The fix is below.

Amos Waterland 01d553d0fe [PATCH] Chardev checking of overlapping ranges
The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to
register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is
strictly less than the existing minor range.  However, it does not also
check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor
range.  That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3,
__register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and
minor=1-4.

Kirill Korotaev 3b9b8ab65d [PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing
Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc.  Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.

->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all

Alexey Dobriyan 50462062a0 [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fields
[assuming BSD security levels are deleted]
The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux,
however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel.
So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each
security field is likely an overkill.

Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is
moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs
and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster.

The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is
still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig
build.

struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct
become smaller.

P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to
linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page.

Chris Mason a317202714 [PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=ordered
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the
length of time a journal replay may take after a crash.  Sometimes, writing
metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing
a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers.
This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin.

This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before
trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction.  It is low risk because if
a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay
after a crash.

Eric Sandeen 39b3f6d6e9 [PATCH] mount udf UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY partitions with MS_RDONLY
There's a bug where a UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY udf partition gets mounted
read-write, then subsequent problems happen; files seem to be able to be
removed, but file creation results in EIO or worse, oops.

EIO is coming from udf_new_block(), which returns EIO if the right flags
aren't set; only UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY is set in this case.  We probably
s hould not have gotten this far...

Attached patch seems to fix it - and includes a printk to alert the user
that their "rw" mount request has been converted to "ro."

Here's the testcase I used:

Olaf Hering e1dfa92dca [PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX label
The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem
layout is not known.  There is a msdos partition signature at the end of
the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping)
partitions.  But they are not usable.  Maybe the firmware uses it to find
the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared.

This is the content of the partition table:
 # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...
0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000  ....A...........
0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...

Handle the whole disk as empty disk.

This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly
fdisk) with /proc/partitions.  fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long
time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown.

dmesg will look like this:
 sda: [AIX]  unknown partition table

Tested on an IBM B50 with AIX V4.3.3.

Miklos Szeredi 5b35e8e58a [PATCH] fuse: use dentry in statfs
Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path
within the filesystem, i.e.  one mount is actually several filesystems.  This
can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server
(e.g.  sshfs).

This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to
perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch.

This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.

Andrew Morton 4d7dd8fd95 [PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errors
Check driver layer errors.

Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>

In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed.  Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.

However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object.  So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.

Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
  device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails.  I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.

If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count.  In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder.  Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.

Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later.  Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

Eric W. Biederman c18258c6f0 [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_thread
In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic.  This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.

Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted.  The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

Theodore Ts'o 8e18e2941c [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Ian Kent bcdc5e019d [PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate
For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory.  In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).

While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible.  But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.

I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.

So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

David Howells f269fdd182 [PATCH] NOMMU: move the fallback arch_vma_name() to a sensible place
Move the fallback arch_vma_name() to a sensible place (kernel/signal.c).

Currently it's in fs/proc/task_mmu.c, a file that is dependent on both
CONFIG_PROC_FS and CONFIG_MMU being enabled, but it's used from
kernel/signal.c from where it is called unconditionally.

* Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value
* Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure:

	(void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache);

* Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed
  the name of failed cache.
* XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision
  low-level filesystem driver should make. Converted to ignore.

Eric Sandeen 32c2d2bc4b [PATCH] more ext3 16T overflow fixes
Some of the changes in balloc.c are just cosmetic, as Andreas pointed out -
if they overflow they'll then underflow and things are fine.

5th hunk actually fixes an overflow problem.

Also check for potential overflows in inode & block counts when resizing.

Vasily Averin 7543fc7b3a [PATCH] ext3: wrong error behavior
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error
behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following
patch:

2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ

In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue
(EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible.  However at
present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem
to read-only.  Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ
from that of 2.4.x kernels.

This patch fixes this:
- do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
- set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
- panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save
 sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS
