If an ext4 file system is created by some tool other than mke2fs (perhaps by someone who has a pathalogical fear of the GPL) that doesn't set one or the other of the EXT2_FLAGS_{UN}SIGNED_HASH flags, and that file system is then mounted read-only, don't try to modify the s_flags field. Otherwise, if dm_verity is in use, the superblock will change, causing an dm_verity failure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Commit a115f749 (ext4: remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from ext4_truncate) exposed a bug in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents(). It can be triggered by xfstest generic/299 when run on a test file system created without a journal. This test continuously fallocates and truncates files to which random dio/aio writes are simultaneously performed by a separate process. The test completes successfully, but if the test filesystem is mounted with the block_validity option, a warning message stating that a logical block has been mapped to an illegal physical block is posted in the kernel log. The bug occurs when an extent is being converted to the written state by ext4_end_io_dio() and ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() discovers a mapping for an existing uninitialized extent. Although it sets EXT4_MAP_MAPPED in map->m_flags, it fails to set map->m_pblk to the discovered physical block number. Because map->m_pblk is not otherwise initialized or set by this function or its callers, its uninitialized value is returned to ext4_map_blocks(), where it is stored as a bogus mapping in the extent status tree. Since map->m_pblk can accidentally contain illegal values that are larger than the physical size of the file system, calls to check_block_validity() in ext4_map_blocks() that are enabled if the block_validity mount option is used can fail, resulting in the logged warning message.

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. Fix this by changing how we make sure del_waiting_dir_move asserts that it did not error and take the function out of the ifdef check. This makes btrfs/030 pass with the assert on or off.

FPGA implementations of the Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 are now available in the form of the SMM-A57 and SMM-A53 Soft Macrocell Models (SMMs) for Versatile Express. As these attach to a Motherboard Express V2M-P1 it would be useful to have support for some V2M-P1 peripherals enabled by default. Additionally a couple of of features have been introduced since the last defconfig update (CMA, jump labels) that would be good to have enabled by default to ensure they are build and boot tested. This patch updates the arm64 defconfig to enable support for these devices and features. The arm64 Kconfig is modified to select HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM, which is required to enable support for the CompactFlash controller on the V2M-P1. A few options which don't need to appear in defconfig are trimmed: * BLK_DEV - selected by default * EXPERIMENTAL - otherwise gone from the kernel * MII - selected by drivers which require it * USB_SUPPORT - selected by default Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Linux requires a number of atomic operations to provide full barrier semantics, that is no memory accesses after the operation can be observed before any accesses up to and including the operation in program order. On arm64, these operations have been incorrectly implemented as follows: // A, B, C are independent memory locations <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldaxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load with acquire <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b <Access [C]> The assumption here being that two half barriers are equivalent to a full barrier, so the only permitted ordering would be A -> B -> C (where B is the atomic operation involving both a load and a store). Unfortunately, this is not the case by the letter of the architecture and, in fact, the accesses to A and C are permitted to pass their nearest half barrier resulting in orderings such as Bl -> A -> C -> Bs or Bl -> C -> A -> Bs (where Bl is the load-acquire on B and Bs is the store-release on B). This is a clear violation of the full barrier requirement. The simple way to fix this is to implement the same algorithm as ARMv7 using explicit barriers: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) dmb ish // Full barrier 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> but this has the undesirable effect of introducing *two* full barrier instructions. A better approach is actually the following, non-intuitive sequence: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> The simple observations here are: - The dmb ensures that no subsequent accesses (e.g. the access to C) can enter or pass the atomic sequence. - The dmb also ensures that no prior accesses (e.g. the access to A) can pass the atomic sequence. - Therefore, no prior access can pass a subsequent access, or vice-versa (i.e. A is strictly ordered before C). - The stlxr ensures that no prior access can pass the store component of the atomic operation. The only tricky part remaining is the ordering between the ldxr and the access to A, since the absence of the first dmb means that we're now permitting re-ordering between the ldxr and any prior accesses. From an (arbitrary) observer's point of view, there are two scenarios: 1. We have observed the ldxr. This means that if we perform a store to [B], the ldxr will still return older data. If we can observe the ldxr, then we can potentially observe the permitted re-ordering with the access to A, which is clearly an issue when compared to the dmb variant of the code. Thankfully, the exclusive monitor will save us here since it will be cleared as a result of the store and the ldxr will retry. Notice that any use of a later memory observation to imply observation of the ldxr will also imply observation of the access to A, since the stlxr/dmb ensure strict ordering. 2. We have not observed the ldxr. This means we can perform a store and influence the later ldxr. However, that doesn't actually tell us anything about the access to [A], so we've not lost anything here either when compared to the dmb variant. This patch implements this solution for our barriered atomic operations, ensuring that we satisfy the full barrier requirements where they are needed.

Remove use of regmap_irq_get_virq() in driver probe which was conflicting with use of platform_get_irq_byname(). platform_get_irq_byname() already returns the VIRQ number due to MFD core translation so using regmap_irq_get_virq() on that returned value results in an incorrect IRQ being requested. The driver probes then fail because of this. Signed-off-by: Adam Thomson <Adam.Thomson.Opensource@diasemi.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
