2014-04-03mm: remove read_cache_page_async()Sasha Levin
This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit. read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in the code. read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers: - read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read(). - JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read. - CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function returns. To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the read_cache_page(). This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

2014-04-03mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

2014-03-13fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()Theodore Ts'o
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

2013-03-03fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.Eric W. Biederman
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

2012-11-09jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_beginThomas Betker
jffs2_write_begin() first acquires the page lock, then f->sem. This causes an AB-BA deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), which first acquires f->sem, then the page lock: jffs2_garbage_collect_live mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A) jffs2_garbage_collect_dnode jffs2_gc_fetch_page read_cache_page_async do_read_cache_page lock_page(page) (B) jffs2_write_begin grab_cache_page_write_begin find_lock_page lock_page(page) (B) mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A) We fix this by restructuring jffs2_write_begin() to take f->sem before the page lock. However, we make sure that f->sem is not held when calling jffs2_reserve_space(), as this is not permitted by the locking rules. The deadlock above was observed multiple times on an SoC with a dual ARMv7 (Cortex-A9), running the long-term 3.4.11 kernel; it occurred when using scp to copy files from a host system to the ARM target system. The fix was heavily tested on the same target system.

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place.

2012-09-29JFFS2: fix unmount regressionArtem Bityutskiy
This patch fixes regression introduced by "8bdc81c jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_super". We submit a delayed work in order to make sure the write-buffer is synchronized at some point. But we do not flush it when we unmount, which causes an oops when we unmount the file-system and then the delayed work is executed. This patch fixes the issue by adding a "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" infocation in the '->sync_fs()' handler. This will make sure the delayed work is canceled on sync, unmount and re-mount. And because VFS always callse 'sync_fs()' before unmounting or remounting, this fixes the issue.

2012-05-30jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy
Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer periodically. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from '->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt' flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

2012-05-13jffs2: allow to complete xattr integrity check on first GC scanJean-Christophe DUBOIS
Unlike file data integrity the xattr data integrity was not checked before some explicit access to the attribute was made. This could leave in the system a number of corrupted extended attributes which will be detected only at access time and possibly at a very late time compared to the time the corruption actually happened. This patch adds the ability to check for extended attribute integrity on first GC scan pass (similar to file data integrity check). This allows for all present attributes to be completly verified before any use of them. In order to work correctly this patch also needs the patch allowing JFFS2 to discriminate between recoverable and non recoverable errors on extended attributes.

2012-05-13jffs2: allow to discriminate between recoverable and non-recoverable errorsJean-Christophe DUBOIS
This patch is basically a revert of commit f326966b3df47f4fa7e90425f60efdd30c31fe19. It allows JFFS2 to make the distinction between a potential transient error (reading or writing the media) and a non recoverable error like a bad CRC on the extended attribute data or some insconsitent parameters. In order to make clear that the error is indeed intended to report a corrupted attribute, a new local error code (JFFS2_XATTR_IS_CORRUPTED) is introduced rather than returning a confusing positive EIO, which is what led to the inappropriate "fix" last time. This error code is never reported to user space and only checked locally in this file.

2012-05-13jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy
Currently JFFS2 file-system maps the VFS "superblock" abstraction to the write-buffer. Namely, it uses VFS services to synchronize the write-buffer periodically. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds no matter what. So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread. This patch switches the JFFS2 write-buffer management from '->write_super()'/'->s_dirt' to a delayed work. Instead of setting the 's_dirt' flag we just schedule a delayed work for synchronizing the write-buffer.

2012-05-13jffs2: validate symlink size in jffs2_do_read_inode_internal()Xi Wang
`csize' is read from disk and thus needs validation. Otherwise a bogus value 0xffffffff would turn the subsequent kmalloc(csize + 1, ...) into kmalloc(0, ...), leading to out-of-bounds write. This patch limits `csize' to JFFS2_MAX_NAME_LEN, which is also used in jffs2_symlink(). Artem: we actually validate csize by checking CRC, so this 0xFFs cannot come from empty flash region. But I guess an attacker could feed JFFS2 an image with random csize value, including 0xFFs.
