      xfs: remove newlines from strings passed to __xfs_printk · 08e96e1a
      Eric Sandeen authored
      __xfs_printk adds its own "\n".  Having it in the original string
      leads to unintentional blank lines from these messages.
      
      Most format strings have no newline, but a few do, leading to

      xfs: prevent deadlock trying to cover an active log · 2c6e24ce
      Dave Chinner authored
      Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel
      crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log
      space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this:
      
      	- the tail of the log is pinned by an inode
      	- the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild
      	- the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is
      	  currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing
      	  buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL
      	- the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the
      	  delayed write queue
      	- the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged
      	  recently due to unlinked inode list modification
      	- the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the
      	  active CIL context.
      	- the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is
      	  pinned
      	- xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as
      	  needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy
      	  transaction to move the log covering state machine along.
      
      Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence
      unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove
      it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing
      transactions to start again.
      
      Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature
      is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed
      write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and
      hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild
      flushes.
      
      There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force
      the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is
      emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in
      the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is
      still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in
      xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not
      the best way to solve the problem.
      
      The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware
      of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there
      is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process
      of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical
      (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there
      are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't
      need to attempt to cover it.
      
      When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we
      issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then
      this does nothing.  However, if the log is active due to there being
      items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and
      unpin them.
      
      In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of
      xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to
      cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the
      inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence
      removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the
      AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e.
      the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate
      deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log
      from being moved...

      xfs: fix the wrong new_size/rnew_size at xfs_iext_realloc_direct() · 17ec81c1
      Jie Liu authored
      At xfs_iext_realloc_direct(), the new_size is changed by adding
      if_bytes if originally the extent records are stored at the inline
      extent buffer, and we have to switch from it to a direct extent
      list for those new allocated extents, this is wrong. e.g,
      
      Create a file with three extents which was showing as following,
      
      xfs_io -f -c "truncate 100m" /xfs/testme
      
      for i in $(seq 0 5 10); do
      	offset=$(($i * $((1 << 20))))
      	xfs_io -c "pwrite $offset 1m" /xfs/testme
      done
      
      Inline
      ------
      irec:	if_bytes	bytes_diff	new_size
      1st	0		16		16
      2nd	16		16		32
      
      Switching
      ---------						rnew_size
      3rd	32		16		48 + 32 = 80	roundup=128
      
      In this case, the desired value of new_size should be 48, and then
      it will be roundup to 64 and be assigned to rnew_size.
      
      However, this issue has been covered by resetting the if_bytes to
      the new_size which is calculated at the begnning of xfs_iext_add()
      before leaving out this function, and in turn make the rnew_size
      correctly again. Hence, this can not be detected via xfstestes.
      
      This patch fix above problem and revise the new_size comments at
      xfs_iext_realloc_direct() to make it more readable.  Also, fix the
      comments while switching from the inline extent buffer to a direct
      extent list to reflect this change.

      xfs: dirent dtype presence is dependent on directory magic numbers · 367993e7
      Dave Chinner authored
      The determination of whether a directory entry contains a dtype
      field originally was dependent on the filesystem having CRCs
      enabled. This meant that the format for dtype beign enabled could be
      determined by checking the directory block magic number rather than
      doing a feature bit check. This was useful in that it meant that we
      didn't need to pass a struct xfs_mount around to functions that
      were already supplied with a directory block header.
      
      Unfortunately, the introduction of dtype fields into the v4
      structure via a feature bit meant this "use the directory block
      magic number" method of discriminating the dirent entry sizes is
      broken. Hence we need to convert the places that use magic number
      checks to use feature bit checks so that they work correctly and not
      by chance.
      
      The current code works on v4 filesystems only because the dirent
      size roundup covers the extra byte needed by the dtype field in the
      places where this problem occurs.

      xfs: fix node forward in xfs_node_toosmall · 997def25
      Mark Tinguely authored
      Commit f5ea1100 cleans up the disk to host conversions for
      node directory entries, but because a variable is reused in
      xfs_node_toosmall() the next node is not correctly found.
      If the original node is small enough (<= 3/8 of the node size),
      this change may incorrectly cause a node collapse when it should
      not. That will cause an assert in xfstest generic/319:
      
         Assertion failed: first <= last && last < BBTOB(bp->b_length),
         file: /root/newest/xfs/fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c, line: 569
      
      Keep the original node header to get the correct forward node.
      
      (When a node is considered for a merge with a sibling, it overwrites the
       sibling pointers of the original incore nodehdr with the sibling's
       pointers.  This leads to loop considering the original node as a merge
       candidate with itself in the second pass, and so it incorrectly
       determines a merge should occur.)

      xfs: log recovery lsn ordering needs uuid check · 566055d3
      Dave Chinner authored
      After a fair number of xfstests runs, xfs/182 started to fail
      regularly with a corrupted directory - a directory read verifier was
      failing after recovery because it found a block with a XARM magic
      number (remote attribute block) rather than a directory data block.
      
      The first time I saw this repeated failure I did /something/ and the
      problem went away, so I was never able to find the underlying
      problem. Test xfs/182 failed again today, and I found the root
      cause before I did /something else/ that made it go away.
      
      Tracing indicated that the block in question was being correctly
      logged, the log was being flushed by sync, but the buffer was not
      being written back before the shutdown occurred. Tracing also
      indicated that log recovery was also reading the block, but then
      never writing it before log recovery invalidated the cache,
      indicating that it was not modified by log recovery.
      
      More detailed analysis of the corpse indicated that the filesystem
      had a uuid of "a4131074-1872-4cac-9323-2229adbcb886" but the XARM
      block had a uuid of "8f32f043-c3c9-e7f8-f947-4e7f989c05d3", which
      indicated it was a block from an older filesystem. The reason that
      log recovery didn't replay it was that the LSN in the XARM block was
      larger than the LSN of the transaction being replayed, and so the
      block was not overwritten by log recovery.
      
      Hence, log recovery cant blindly trust the magic number and LSN in
      the block - it must verify that it belongs to the filesystem being
      recovered before using the LSN. i.e. if the UUIDs don't match, we
      need to unconditionally recovery the change held in the log.
      
      This patch was first tested on a block device that was repeatedly
      causing xfs/182 to fail with the same failure on the same block with
      the same directory read corruption signature (i.e. XARM block). It
      did not fail, and hasn't failed since.

      xfs: asserting lock not held during freeing not valid · b313a5f1
      Dave Chinner authored
      When we free an inode, we do so via RCU. As an RCU lookup can occur
      at any time before we free an inode, and that lookup takes the inode
      flags lock, we cannot safely assert that the flags lock is not held
      just before marking it dead and running call_rcu() to free the
      inode.
      
      We check on allocation of a new inode structre that the lock is not
      held, so we still have protection against locks being leaked and
      hence not correctly initialised when allocated out of the slab.
      Hence just remove the assert...

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.

      cifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscache · 466bd31b
      Sachin Prabhu authored
      When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
      fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
      the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
      completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
      cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
      cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.
      
      In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
      the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
      cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
      fscache.
      
      With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
      page lock in cifs_write_begin().
      
      The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

      cifs: Do not take a reference to the page in cifs_readpage_worker() · a9e9b7bc
      Sachin Prabhu authored
      We do not need to take a reference to the pagecache in
      cifs_readpage_worker() since the calling function will have already
      taken one before passing the pointer to the page as an argument to the
      function.
