ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated by xfstest 240. The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new" block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated and causes data corruption. Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here. The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO. This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level. I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the work queue to do conversions - which must also take the i_mutex. So that won't work. This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned) but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day. Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here; unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module loads & unloads. I tracked this down to: fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures (this was in addition to the features advert unload problem) The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates & frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different... so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double freeing the one allocated by slub. After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2 method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from a list of static names. (This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with parallel mounts running).

This fixes a corruption problem with the multi-block writepages submittal change for ext4, from commit bd2d0210 ("ext4: use bio layer instead of buffer layer in mpage_da_submit_io"). (Note that this corruption is not present in 2.6.37 on ext4, because the corruption was detected after the feature was merged in 2.6.37-rc1, and so it was turned off by adding a non-default mount option, mblk_io_submit. With this commit, which hopefully fixes the last of the bugs with this feature, we'll be able to turn on this performance feature by default in 2.6.38, and remove the mblk_io_submit option.) The ext4 code path to bundle multiple pages for writeback in ext4_bio_write_page() had a bug: we should be clearing buffer head dirty flags *before* we submit the bio, not in the completion routine. The patch below was tested on 2.6.37 under KVM with the postgresql script which was submitted by Jon Nelson as documented in commit 1449032b . Without the patch, I'd hit the corruption problem about 50-70% of the time. With the patch, I executed the script > 100 times with no corruption seen. I also fixed a bug to make sure ext4_end_bio() doesn't dereference the bio after the bio_put() call. Reported-by:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27652 If the lazyinit thread is running, the teardown function ext4_destroy_lazyinit_thread() has problems: ext4_clear_request_list(); while (ext4_li_info->li_task) { wake_up(&ext4_li_info->li_wait_daemon); wait_event(ext4_li_info->li_wait_task, ext4_li_info->li_task == NULL); } Clearing the request list will cause the thread to exit and free ext4_li_info, so then we're waiting on something which is getting freed.

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL. Signed-off-by:Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously, while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure available that lets us check for O_SYNC. This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems, and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire up fallocate for regular files. Signed-off-by:

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed. Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2 then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

When s_first_data_block is not zero (which happens e.g. when block size is 1KB) and trim ioctl is called to start trimming from block 0, the math in ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() overflows. The overall result is that ioctl returns EINVAL which is kind of unexpected and we probably don't want userspace tools to bother with internal details of filesystem structure. So just silently increase starting offset (and shorten length) when starting block is below s_first_data_block. CC: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Since check_eofblocks_fl() only uses the m_lblk portion of the map structure, we may as well pass that directly, rather than passing the entire map, which IMHO obfuscates what parameters check_eofblocks_fl() cares about. Not a big deal, but seems tidier and less confusing, to me. Signed-off-by:

Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling bforget(). But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when deleting files that used indirect blocks. Fix this. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was tripping when ext4 is run without a journal. The problem is that although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation). In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function, ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled. So remove the (stub) function entirely for now. If we decide it's better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively large number of code changes anyway.

Ted first found the bug when running 2.6.36 kernel with dioread_nolock mount option that xfstests #13 complained about wrong file size during fsck. However, the bug exists in the older kernels as well although it is somehow harder to trigger. The problem is that ext4_end_io_work() can happen after we have truncated an inode to a smaller size. Then when ext4_end_io_work() calls ext4_convert_unwritten_extents(), we may reallocate some blocks that have been truncated, so the inode size becomes inconsistent with the allocated blocks. The following patch flushes the i_completed_io_list during truncate to reduce the risk that some pending end_io requests are executed later and convert already truncated blocks to initialized. Note that although the fix helps reduce the problem a lot there may still be a race window between vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). The fundamental problem is that if vmtruncate() is called without either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem held, it can race with an ongoing write request so that the io_end request is processed later when the corresponding blocks have been truncated. Ted and I have discussed the problem offline and we saw a few ways to fix the race completely: a) We guarantee that i_mutex lock and i_alloc_sem write lock are both hold whenever vmtruncate() is called. The i_mutex lock prevents any new write requests from entering writeback and the i_alloc_sem prevents the race from ext4_page_mkwrite(). Currently we hold both locks if vmtruncate() is called from do_truncate(), which is probably the most common case. However, there are places where we may call vmtruncate() without holding either i_mutex or i_alloc_sem. I would like to ask for other people's opinions on what locks are expected to be held before calling vmtruncate(). There seems a disagreement among the callers of that function. b) We change the ext4 write path so that we change the extent tree to contain the newly allocated blocks and update i_size both at the same time --- when the write of the data blocks is completed. c) We add some additional locking to synchronize vmtruncate() and ext4_end_io_work(). This approach may have performance implications so we need to be careful. All of the above proposals may require more substantial changes, so we may consider to take the following patch as a bandaid.

ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns a wrong block number because it may overflow at "block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem. ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case, the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(), so it's no problem. reproduce: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/tmp bs=127M count=1 oflag=sync # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 seek=1 oflag=sync # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 128 67456 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found # rm -rf /mnt/mp1/tmp # echo $((512*4096)) > /sys/fs/ext4/loop0/mb_stream_req # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 oflag=sync conv=notrunc result (linux-2.6.37-rc2 + ext4 patch queue): # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 0 33280 128 1 128 67456 33407 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found result(apply this patch): # filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file Filesystem type is: ef53 File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096) ext logical physical expected length flags 0 0 66560 128 1 128 67456 66687 128 eof /mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found Signed-off-by:
