      ext4: avoid potential hang in mpage_submit_io() when blocksize < pagesize · 13a79a47
      Yongqiang Yang authored
      If there is an unwritten but clean buffer in a page and there is a
      dirty buffer after the buffer, then mpage_submit_io does not write the
      dirty buffer out.  As a result, da_writepages loops forever.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by checking dirty flag.

      ext4: avoid hangs in ext4_da_should_update_i_disksize() · ea51d132
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      If the pte mapping in generic_perform_write() is unmapped between
      iov_iter_fault_in_readable() and iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(), the
      "copied" parameter to ->end_write can be zero. ext4 couldn't cope with
      it with delayed allocations enabled. This skips the i_disksize
      enlargement logic if copied is zero and no new data was appeneded to
      the inode.

      This is 100% reproducible with some autonuma development code tuned in
      a very aggressive manner (not normal way even for knumad) which does
      "exotic" changes to the ptes. It wouldn't normally trigger but I don't
      see why it can't happen normally if the page is added to swap cache in
      between the two faults leading to "copied" being zero (which then
      hangs in ext4). So it should be fixed. Especially possible with lumpy
      reclaim (albeit disabled if compaction is enabled) as that would
      ignore the young bits in the ptes.

      ext4: Fix crash due to getting bogus eh_depth value on big-endian systems · b4611abf
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 1939dd84 ("ext4: cleanup ext4_ext_grow_indepth code") added a
      reference to ext4_extent_header.eh_depth, but forget to pass the value
      read through le16_to_cpu.  The result is a crash on big-endian
      machines, such as this crash on a POWER7 server:

      This is due to getting ext_depth(inode) == 0x101 and therefore running
      off the end of the path array in ext4_ext_drop_refs into following
      unallocated structures.
      
      This fixes it by adding the necessary le16_to_cpu.

      ext4: fix ext4_end_io_dio() racing against fsync() · b5a7e970
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      We need to make sure iocb->private is cleared *before* we put the
      io_end structure on i_completed_io_list.  Otherwise fsync() could
      potentially run on another CPU and free the iocb structure out from
      under us.
