writes. In addition flush the disk cache on fsync if the sync cached operation didn't sync the log to disk (this requires some additional bookeping in the transaction and log code). If the device doesn't claim to support barriers, the filesystem has an extern log volume or the trial superblock write with barriers enabled failed we disable barriers and print a warning. We should probably fail the mount completely, but that could lead to nasty boot failures for the root filesystem. Not enabled by default yet, needs more destructive testing first.

2005-10-31[PATCH] fix __writeback_single_inode WARN_ONAndrea Arcangeli
When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE)); is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING. When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0. The specific stack trace is this: 0xc00000007b8fb6e0 0xc00000000010118c .__writeback_single_inode +0x5c 0xc00000007b8fb6e0 0xc0000000001014dc (lr) .sync_inode +0x3c 0xc00000007b8fb790 0xc0000000001014dc .sync_inode +0x3c 0xc00000007b8fb820 0xc0000000001a5020 .ext2_sync_inode +0x64 0xc00000007b8fb8f0 0xc0000000001a65b4 .ext2_truncate +0x3f8 0xc00000007b8fba40 0xc0000000001a6940 .ext2_delete_inode +0xdc 0xc00000007b8fbac0 0xc0000000000f7a5c .generic_delete_inode +0x124 0xc00000007b8fbb50 0xc0000000000f5fe0 .iput +0xb8 0xc00000007b8fbbe0 0xc0000000000e9fd4 .sys_unlink +0x2a8 0xc00000007b8fbd10 0xc00000000001048c .ret_from_syscall_1 +0x0 Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-10-31[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-31[PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with ↵Andrea Arcangeli
I_WILL_FREE set list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use); } else { list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused); + inodes_stat.nr_unused++; } } wake_up_inode(inode); Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between 2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong. The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is that I_WILL_FREE is set. And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not increase nr_unused. So I believe the above change is buggy and it will definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed out. Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear here: spin_unlock(&inode_lock); __wait_on_inode(inode); iput(inode); XXXXXXX spin_lock(&inode_lock); } use inode again here a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting standpoint. Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was useless if we keep using the inode after the iput. So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX). Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug). The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps a reference on the inode!

I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on. More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem. Some investigation took me to the patch that follows. At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super. The only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway.

2005-10-31[PATCH] Don't uselessly export task_struct to userspace in core dumpsEric W. Biederman
task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good information, that is probably interesting in core dumps. However there is no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it useless. I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not used anywhere else. So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is missing. In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak. I haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the perfect tool for aiming that attack. So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially dangerous, let's just not export it.

Otherwise following nasty race can happen: proc 1 proc 2 ------ ------ - write some new data to 'offset' => bh gets to the transactions data list - starts truncate => i_size set to new size - mpage_writepages() - ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset' - block_write_full_page() - page->index > end_index+1 - block_invalidatepage() - discard_buffer() - clear_buffer_mapped() - commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!

2005-10-31[PATCH] SELinux: canonicalize getxattr()James Morris
This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after the fs level getxattr() function. The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem. In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk. The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call, so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with the kernel value. We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems (i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the kernel value to the user.
