From b0722cb1ac84863f57471d2b254457c100319300 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:09:33 +0200 Subject: cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path The "h->scatter_list" is allocated inside a for loop. If any of those allocations fail, then the rest of the list is uninitialized data. When we free it we should start from the top and free backwards so that we don't call kfree() on uninitialized pointers. Also if the allocation for "h->scatter_list" fails then we would get an Oops here. I should have noticed this when I send: 4ee69851c "cciss: handle allocation failure." but I didn't. Sorry about that.

Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it crashes. This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't hit this piece of code. Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes in from same group.

Backing device of such inodes (zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus __mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi points to a non-trivial backing device or not. Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /. There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0" after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16". Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.
