da9846ae ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag") in driver-core-linus conflicts with kernfs_drain() updates in driver-core-next. The former just adds the missing KERNFS_LOCKDEP checks which are already handled by kernfs_lockdep() checks in driver-core-next. The conflict can be resolved by taking code from driver-core-next.

3eef34ad ("kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends") restructured kernfs_rename_ns() such that new name assignment happens under kernfs_rename_lock; unfortunately, it mistakenly passed NULL to kernfs_name_hash() to calculate the new hash if the name hasn't changed, which can lead to oops. Fix it by using kn->name and kn->ns when calculating the new hash.

While we are at it, don't do kmap() under kmap_atomic(), *especially* for a page we'd allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It's spelled "page_address", and had that been more than that, we'd have a real trouble - kmap_high() can block, and doing that while holding kmap_atomic() is a Bad Idea(tm).

It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support) when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly synced pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1 but generic_file_aio_write() synced pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1 instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously. A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write(). All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write(). The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync() ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of calls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

When using a mix of compressed file extents and prealloc extents, it is possible to fill a page of a file with random, garbage data from some unrelated previous use of the page, instead of a sequence of zeroes. A simple sequence of steps to get into such case, taken from the test case I made for xfstests, is: _scratch_mkfs _scratch_mount "-o compress-force=lzo" $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0x06 -b 18670 266978 18670" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "falloc 26450 665194" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "truncate 542872" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar This results in the following file items in the fs tree: item 4 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 15879 itemsize 160 inode generation 6 transid 6 size 542872 block group 0 mode 100600 item 5 key (257 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 15863 itemsize 16 inode ref index 2 namelen 6 name: foobar item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 15810 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 0 nr 0 gen 6 extent data offset 0 nr 24576 ram 266240 extent compression 0 item 7 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 24576) itemoff 15757 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 12849152 nr 241664 gen 6 prealloc data offset 0 nr 241664 item 8 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 266240) itemoff 15704 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 4096 gen 6 extent data offset 0 nr 20480 ram 20480 extent compression 2 item 9 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 286720) itemoff 15651 itemsize 53 prealloc data disk byte 13090816 nr 405504 gen 6 prealloc data offset 0 nr 258048 The on disk extent at offset 266240 (which corresponds to 1 single disk block), contains 5 compressed chunks of file data. Each of the first 4 compress 4096 bytes of file data, while the last one only compresses 3024 bytes of file data. Therefore a read into the file region [285648 ; 286720[ (length = 4096 - 3024 = 1072 bytes) should always return zeroes (our next extent is a prealloc one). The solution here is the compression code path to zero the remaining (untouched) bytes of the last page it uncompressed data into, as the information about how much space the file data consumes in the last page is not known in the upper layer fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:__do_readpage(). In __do_readpage we were correctly zeroing the remainder of the page but only if it corresponds to the last page of the inode and if the inode's size is not a multiple of the page size. This would cause not only returning random data on reads, but also permanently storing random data when updating parts of the region that should be zeroed. For the example above, it means updating a single byte in the region [285648 ; 286720[ would store that byte correctly but also store random data on disk. A test case for xfstests follows soon.

Wang noticed that he was failing btrfs/030 even though me and Filipe couldn't reproduce. Turns out this is because Wang didn't have CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT set, which meant that a key part of Filipe's original patch was not being built in. This appears to be a mess up with merging Filipe's patch as it does not exist in his original patch.

If sysfs is disabled, kernfs_enable_ns() is switched to dummy implementation too and everything is fine; however, kernfs will soon have its own config option CONFIG_KERNFS and !SYSFS && KERNFS will be possible, which can make kobject call into non-dummy kernfs_enable_ns() with NULL kernfs_node pointers leading to an oops.

A write to a kernfs_node is buffered through a kernel buffer. Writes <= PAGE_SIZE are performed atomically, while larger ones are executed in PAGE_SIZE chunks. While this is enough for sysfs, cgroup which is scheduled to be converted to use kernfs needs a bit more control over it. This patch adds kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len. If not set (zero), the behavior stays the same. If set, writes upto the size are executed atomically and larger writes are rejected with -E2BIG. A different implementation strategy would be allowing configuring chunking size while making the original write size available to the write method; however, such strategy, while being more complicated, doesn't really buy anything. If the write implementation has to handle chunking, the specific chunk size shouldn't matter all that much.

Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation, which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or fail creation of multiple nodes. In addition, if something fails after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref depending on how the error path is synchronized. This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED. If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new kernfs_activate() API. Also, nodes which have never been activated are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node. As deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem. e.g. lookup succeeding on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was deactivated. However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit. This is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated. Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are invisible to userland. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active reference, which makes it tricky for the invoked operations to determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations. kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the file operations. There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different. Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the dir_ops are executing. This guarantees that while a dir_ops is executing the target nodes stay alive. As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this doesn't affect anybody.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself is sitting on top of. This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous. While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation reliable. The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous. All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't confuse the deactivation path. This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal deletion path will simply be ignored. This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations - even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 > delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is completed by one of the instances. Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection(). kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be used to cater to more complex cases. v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it. Reported by kbuild test bot. v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation. It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making things more complex than necessary. This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED. * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs which negates the subtrahend.. * A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is added for convenience and lockdep annotation. All KERNFS_REMOVED tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests. * __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to kernfs_drain(). * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with checks on the active ref. * Some comment style updates in the affected area. v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active() dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE() used in the lookup paths. v3: Reverted most of v2 except for creating a new node with KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS.
