o2dlm's userspace filesystem is an easy way to use the DLM from userspace. It is intentionally simple. For example, it does not allow for asynchronous behavior or lock conversion. This is intentional to keep the interface simple. Because there is no asynchronous notification, there is no way for a process holding a lock to know another node needs the lock. This is the number one complaint of ocfs2_dlmfs users. Turns out, we can solve this very easily. We add poll() support to ocfs2_dlmfs. When a BAST is received, the lock's file descriptor will receive POLLIN. This is trivial to implement. Userdlm already has an appropriate waitqueue, and the lock knows when it is blocked. We add the "bast" capability to tell userspace this is available.

Over time, dlmfs has added some features that were not part of the initial ABI. Unfortunately, some of these features are not detectable via standard usage. For example, Linux's default poll always returns POLLIN, so there is no way for a caller of poll(2) to know when dlmfs added poll support. Instead, we provide this list of new capabilities. Capabilities is a read-only attribute. We do it as a module parameter so we can discover it whether dlmfs is built in, loaded, or even not loaded (via modinfo). The ABI features are local to this machine's dlmfs mount. This is distinct from the locking protocol, which is concerned with inter-node interaction.

ocfs2 can store extended attribute values as large as a single file. It does this using a standard ocfs2 btree for the large value. However, the previous code did not handle all error cases cleanly. There are multiple problems to have. 1) We have trouble allocating space for a new xattr. This leaves us with an empty xattr. 2) We overwrote an existing local xattr with a value root, and now we have an error allocating the storage. This leaves us an empty xattr. where there used to be a value. The value is lost. 3) We have trouble truncating a reused value. This leaves us with the original entry pointing to the truncated original value. The value is lost. 4) We have trouble extending the storage on a reused value. This leaves us with the original value safely in place, but with more storage allocated when needed. This doesn't consider storing local xattrs (values that don't require a btree). Those only fail when the journal fails. Case (1) is easy. We just remove the xattr we added. We leak the storage because we can't safely remove it, but otherwise everything is happy. We'll print a warning about the leak. Case (4) is easy. We still have the original value in place. We can just leave the extra storage attached to this xattr. We return the error, but the old value is untouched. We print a warning about the storage. Case (2) and (3) are hard because we've lost the original values. In the old code, we ended up with values that could be partially read. That's not good. Instead, we just wipe the xattr entry and leak the storage. It stinks that the original value is lost, but now there isn't a partial value to be read. We'll print a big fat warning. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() is the only remaining user of ocfs2_xattr_set_entry(). ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() actually does two things: it calls ocfs2_xa_set(), and it initializes the inline xattrs. Initializing the inline space really belongs in its own call. We lift the initialization to ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(), called from ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() only when necessary. Now ocfs2_xattr_ibody_set() can call ocfs2_xa_set() directly. ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() goes away. Another nice fact is that ocfs2_init_dinode_xa_loc() can trust i_xattr_inline_size.

ocfs2_xattr_block_set() calls into ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() with just the HAS_XATTR flag. Most of the machinery of ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() is skipped. All that really happens other than the call to ocfs2_xa_set() is making sure the HAS_XATTR flag is set on the inode. But HAS_XATTR should be set when we also set di->i_xattr_loc. And that's done in ocfs2_create_xattr_block(). So let's move it there, and then ocfs2_xattr_block_set() can just call ocfs2_xa_set(). While we're there, ocfs2_create_xattr_block() can take the set_ctxt for a smaller argument list. It also learns to set HAS_XATTR_FL, because it knows for sure. ocfs2_create_empty_xatttr_block() in the reflink path fakes a set_ctxt to call ocfs2_create_xattr_block().

ocfs2_xattr_set_in_bucket() doesn't need to do its own hacky space checking. Let's let ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() (via ocfs2_xa_set()) do the more accurate work. Whenever it doesn't have space, ocfs2_xattr_set_in_bucket() can try to get more space. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

ocfs2_xa_set() wraps the ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry()/ocfs2_xa_store_value() logic. Both callers can now use the same routine. ocfs2_xa_remove() moves directly into ocfs2_xa_set(). Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() gets all the logic to add, remove, or modify external value trees. Now, when it exits, the entry is ready to receive a value of any size. ocfs2_xa_remove() is added to handle the complete removal of an entry. It truncates the external value tree before calling ocfs2_xa_remove_entry(). ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value() becomes ocfs2_xa_store_value(). It can store any value. ocfs2_xattr_set_entry() loses all the allocation logic and just uses these functions. ocfs2_xattr_set_value_outside() disappears. ocfs2_xattr_set_in_bucket() uses these functions and makes ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_in_bucket() obsolete. That goes away, as does ocfs2_xattr_bucket_set_value_outside() and ocfs2_xattr_bucket_value_truncate(). Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

We use the ocfs2_xattr_value_buf structure to manage external values. It lets the value tree code do its work regardless of the containing storage. ocfs2_xa_fill_value_buf() initializes a value buf from an ocfs2_xa_loc entry. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

Previously the xattr code would send in a fake value, containing a tree root, to the function that installed name+value pairs. Instead, we pass the real value to ocfs2_xa_set_inline_value(), and it notices that the value cannot fit. Thus, it installs a tree root. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

Joel Becker authored
We create two new functions on ocfs2_xa_loc, ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() and ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value(). ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() makes sure that the xl_entry field of ocfs2_xa_loc is ready to receive an xattr. The entry will point to an appropriately sized name+value region in storage. If an existing entry can be reused, it will be. If no entry already exists, it will be allocated. If there isn't space to allocate it, -ENOSPC will be returned. ocfs2_xa_store_inline_value() stores the data that goes into the 'value' part of the name+value pair. For values that don't fit directly, this stores the value tree root. A number of operations are added to ocfs2_xa_loc_operations to support these functions. This reflects the disparate behaviors of xattr blocks and buckets. With these functions, the overlapping ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_local() and ocfs2_xattr_set_entry_normal() can be replaced with a single call scheme. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

An ocfs2 xattr entry stores the text name and value as a pair in the storage area. Obviously names and values can be variable-sized. If a value is too large for the entry storage, a tree root is stored instead. The name+value pair is also padded. Because of this, there are a million places in the code that do: if (needs_external_tree(value_size) namevalue_size = pad(name_size) + tree_root_size; else namevalue_size = pad(name_size) + pad(value_size); Let's create some convenience functions to make the code more readable. There are three forms. The first takes the raw sizes. The second takes an ocfs2_xattr_info structure. The third takes an existing ocfs2_xattr_entry.

Joel Becker authored
The ocfs2 extended attribute (xattr) code is very flexible. It can store xattrs in the inode itself, in an external block, or in a tree of data structures. This allows the number of xattrs to be bounded by the filesystem size. However, the code that manages each possible storage location is different. Maintaining the ocfs2 xattr code requires changing each hunk separately. This patch is the start of a series introducing the ocfs2_xa_loc structure. This structure wraps the on-disk details of an xattr entry. The goal is that the generic xattr routines can use ocfs2_xa_loc without knowing the underlying storage location. This first pass merely implements the basic structure, initializing it, and wiping the name+value pair of the entry. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

A DVB demultiplexer device can be used to set up either a PES filter or a section filter. In the former case, the ts field of the feed union of struct dmxdev_filter is used, in the latter case the sec field of the same union is used. The ts field is a struct list_head, and is currently initialized in the open() method of the demux device. When for a given demuxer a section filter is set up, the sec field is played with, thus if a PES filter needs to be set up after that the ts field will be corrupted, causing a kernel oops. This fix moves the list head initialization to dvb_dmxdev_pes_filter_set(), so that the ts field is properly initialized every time a PES filter is set up.

The code to track the CPPR values added by commit 49bd3647 ("powerpc/pseries: Track previous CPPR values to correctly EOI interrupts") broke kexec on pseries because the kexec code in xics.c calls xics_set_cpu_priority() before the IPI has been EOI'ed. This wasn't a problem previously but it now triggers a BUG_ON in xics_set_cpu_priority() because os_cppr->index isn't 0. Fix this problem by setting the index on the CPPR stack to 0 before calling xics_set_cpu_priority() in xics_teardown_cpu(). Also make it clear that we only want to set the priority when there's just one CPPR value in the stack, and enforce it by updating the value of os_cppr->stack[0] rather than os_cppr->stack[os_cppr->index]. While we're at it change the BUG_ON to a WARN_ON.

Unfortunately, due to poor DWARF info in current toolchains, unwinding through interrutps cannot be done reliably. The problem is that the DWARF info for function epilogues is wrong. Take this standard epilogue sequence, 80003cc4: e3 6f mov r14,r15 80003cc6: 26 4f lds.l @r15+,pr 80003cc8: f6 6e mov.l @r15+,r14 <---- interrupt here 80003cca: f6 6b mov.l @r15+,r11 80003ccc: f6 6a mov.l @r15+,r10 80003cce: f6 69 mov.l @r15+,r9 80003cd0: 0b 00 rts If we take an interrupt at the highlighted point, the DWARF info will bogusly claim that the return address can be found at some offset from the frame pointer, even though the frame pointer was just restored. The worst part is if the unwinder finds a text address at the bogus stack address - unwinding will continue, for a bit, until it finally comes across an unexpected address on the stack and blows up. The only solution is to stop unwinding once we've calculated the function that was executing when the interrupt occurred. This PC can be easily calculated from pt_regs->pc.

The address that ret_from_exception and ret_from_irq will return to is found in the stack slot for SPC, not PR. This error was causing the DWARF unwinder to pick up the wrong return address on the stack and then unwind using the unwind tables for the wrong function. While I'm here I might as well add CFI annotations for the other registers since they could be useful when unwinding.

Linus Torvalds authored
This reverts commit 70362511 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and commit b04da8bf ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/ restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete. It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling __f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this: - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock. - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that commit 70362511 introduced, together with the pre-existing sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock dependency the other way too. So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call, we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all we really ever needed.
