2012-12-11f2fs: fix endian conversion bugs reported by sparseJaegeuk Kim
This patch should resolve the bugs reported by the sparse tool. Initial reports were written by "kbuild test robot" managed by fengguang.wu. In my local machines, I've tested also by running: > make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__" Accordingly, I've found lots of warnings and bugs related to the endian conversion. And I've fixed all at this moment. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

2012-12-11f2fs: move proc files to debugfsGreg Kroah-Hartman
This moves all of the f2fs debugging files into debugfs. The files are located in /sys/kernel/debug/f2fs/ Note, I think we are generating all of the same information in each of the files for every unique f2fs filesystem in the machine. This copies the functionality that was present in the proc files, but this should be fixed up in the future.

2012-12-11f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forwardJaegeuk Kim
This adds roll-forward routines to recover fsynced data. - F2FS uses basically roll-back model with checkpointing. - In order to implement fsync(), there are two approaches as follows. 1. A roll-back model with checkpointing at every fsync() : This is a naive method, but suffers from very low performance. 2. A roll-forward model : F2FS adopts this model where all the fsynced data should be recovered, which were written after checkpointing was done. In order to figure out the data, F2FS keeps a "fsync" mark in direct node blocks. In addition, F2FS remains the location of next node block in each direct node block for reconstructing the chain of node blocks during the recovery. - In order to enhance the performance, F2FS keeps a "dentry" mark also in direct node blocks. If this is set during the recovery, F2FS replays adding a dentry. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
2012-12-11f2fs: add garbage collection functionsJaegeuk Kim
This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions. - The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done, the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is decreased when the following conditions are satisfied. . GC is not conducted currently, and . IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request list, and . There are enough dirty segments. Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time. Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default. - F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm. - The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning, F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should move the data right away. - In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap of the segment managed as an SIT entry.

2012-12-11f2fs: add address space operations for dataJaegeuk Kim
This adds address space operations for data. - F2FS supports readpages(), writepages(), and direct_IO(). - Because of out-of-place writes, f2fs_direct_IO() does not write data in place. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

2012-12-11f2fs: add segment operationsJaegeuk Kim
This adds specific functions not only to manage dirty/free segments, SIT pages, a cache for SIT entries, and summary entries, but also to allocate free blocks and write three types of pages: data, node, and meta. - F2FS maintains three types of bitmaps in memory, which indicate free, prefree, and dirty segments respectively. - The key information of an SIT entry consists of a segment number, the number of valid blocks in the segment, a bitmap to identify there-in valid or invalid blocks. - An SIT page is composed of a certain range of SIT entries, which is maintained by the address space of meta_inode. - To cache SIT entries, a simple array is used. The index for the array is the segment number. - A summary entry for data contains the parent node information. A summary entry for node contains its node offset from the inode. - F2FS manages information about six active logs and those summary entries in memory. Whenever one of them is changed, its summary entries are flushed to its SIT page maintained by the address space of meta_inode. - This patch adds a default block allocation function which supports heap-based allocation policy. - This patch adds core functions to write data, node, and meta pages. Since LFS basically produces a series of sequential writes, F2FS merges sequential bios with a single one as much as possible to reduce the IO scheduling overhead.

2012-12-11f2fs: add node operationsJaegeuk Kim
This adds specific functions to manage NAT pages, a cache for NAT entries, free nids, direct/indirect node blocks for indexing data, and address space for node pages. - The key information of an NAT entry consists of a node id and a block address. - An NAT page is composed of block addresses covered by a certain range of NAT entries, which is maintained by the address space of meta_inode. - A radix tree structure is used to cache NAT entries. The index for the tree is a node id. - When there is no free nid, F2FS should scan NAT entries to find new one. In order to avoid scanning frequently, F2FS manages a list containing a number of free nids in memory. Only when free nids in the list are exhausted, scanning process, build_free_nids(), is triggered. - F2FS has direct and indirect node blocks for indexing data. This patch adds fuctions related to the node block management such as getting, allocating, and truncating node blocks to index data. - In order to cache node blocks in memory, F2FS has a node_inode with an address space for node pages. This patch also adds the address space operations for node_inode. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
2012-12-11f2fs: add checkpoint operationsJaegeuk Kim
This adds functions required by the checkpoint operations. Basically, f2fs adopts a roll-back model with checkpoint blocks written in the CP area. The checkpoint procedure includes as follows. - write_checkpoint() 1. block_operations() freezes VFS calls. 2. submit cached bios. 3. flush_nat_entries() writes NAT pages updated by dirty NAT entries. 4. flush_sit_entries() writes SIT pages updated by dirty SIT entries. 5. do_checkpoint() writes, - checkpoint block (#0) - orphan inode blocks - summary blocks made by active logs - checkpoint block (copy of #0) 6. unblock_opeations() In order to provide an address space for meta pages, f2fs_sb_info has a special inode, namely meta_inode. This patch also adds the address space operations for meta_inode. Signed-off-by: Chul Lee <chur.lee@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>

2012-12-11f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structureJaegeuk Kim
This adds the following major in-memory structures in f2fs. - f2fs_sb_info: contains f2fs-specific information, two special inode pointers for node and meta address spaces, and orphan inode management. - f2fs_inode_info: contains vfs_inode and other fs-specific information. - f2fs_nm_info: contains node manager information such as NAT entry cache, free nid list, and NAT page management. - f2fs_node_info: represents a node as node id, inode number, block address, and its version. - f2fs_sm_info: contains segment manager information such as SIT entry cache, free segment map, current active logs, dirty segment management, and segment utilization. The specific structures are sit_info, free_segmap_info, dirty_seglist_info, curseg_info. In addition, add F2FS_SUPER_MAGIC in magic.h.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks. In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code interpreter could access past the end of the address in the inet_request_sock. Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated properly at all. This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain kernel data structures. Fixes from Neal Cardwell. 2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping). Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It very much can be shared in this context. Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using skb_copy_bits(). Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: validate byte code to prevent oops in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state
2012-12-10Revert "revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD""" and associated damageLinus Torvalds
This reverts commits a50915394f1fc02c2861d3b7ce7014788aa5066e and d7c3b937bdf45f0b844400b7bf6fd3ed50bac604. This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the original commits in linux-next. It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do. When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim, and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want to do that too. So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;) Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-12-10ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharingJohannes Berg
ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.

deferred or contended" This reverts commit 782fd30406ecb9d9b082816abe0c6008fc72a7b0. We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again. Making this commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag. The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure, including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c654345924f7 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD") was simply bogus.

2012-12-10inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe readsNeal Cardwell
Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port for such operations. Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not long enough to hold both.

2012-12-09inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run()Neal Cardwell
Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit maintains as-is). This change is needed for two reasons: (1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6 prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read garbage or oops. (2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case, which this commit maintains).

Add logic to validate INET_DIAG_BC_S_COND and INET_DIAG_BC_D_COND operations. Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family, address length, and prefix length. So a malicious user could make the kernel read beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the length of addresses of the given family.

2012-12-09inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV stateNeal Cardwell
Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the request_sock. With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16 bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

2012-12-08mm: vmscan: fix inappropriate zone congestion clearingJohannes Weiner
commit c702418f8a2f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing, which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim. This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion status when their watermarks have been restored. Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely. The preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if the zone is considered balanced.

2012-12-08vfs: fix O_DIRECT read past end of block deviceLinus Torvalds
The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c, but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of the device" code there. Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the write path already does. NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the inode timestamp etc). It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted fix. Noted by Milan Broz thanks to a regression test for the cryptsetup reencrypt tool.

2012-12-07tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmissionYuchung Cheng
If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks. Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout or other loss recovery events.

2012-12-06tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leakMel Gorman
This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

2012-12-06mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual ↵Johannes Weiner
uncompactable zones When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's memory that is considered balanced. This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that might never get in shape. When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least 25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks that restart the kswapd cycle. Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

2012-12-06mm: compaction: validate pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_blockMel Gorman
Commit 0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned. Since commit c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary. In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this: reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

2012-12-06mmc: sh-mmcif: avoid oops on spurious interrupts (second try)Guennadi Liakhovetski
On some systems, e.g., kzm9g, MMCIF interfaces can produce spurious interrupts without any active request. To prevent the Oops, that results in such cases, don't dereference the mmc request pointer until we make sure, that we are indeed processing such a request.

2abeb5c5ded2 ("Add clk_(enable/disable) in runtime suspend/resume") added the capability to stop the clocks when the device is runtime suspended, but forgot to handle the case of the card-detect using an external gpio. Therefore in the case that runtime-pm is enabled, start the io-clock when a card is inserted and stop it again once it is removed.

It is $(obj)/oid_registry.o that is dependent on $(obj)/oid_registry_data.c. The object file cannot be built until $(obj)/oid_registry_data.c has been generated. A periodic and hard to reproduce parallel build failure is due to this incorrect lib/Makefile dependency. The compile error is completely disingenuous.

2012-12-05MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasksDmitry Adamushko
The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system call with a pending signal. A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ]. kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of "kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot). The loop is as follows: * syscall_exit_work: - work_pending: // start_of_the_loop - work_notifysig: - do_notify_resume() - do_signal() - if (!user_mode(regs)) return; - resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set - work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto // start_of_the_loop More information can be found in another LKML thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826 [1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the following fix was accepted. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74f Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3571/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
