Before this patch, if GFS2 encountered IO errors while writing to the journal, it would not report the problem, so they would go unnoticed, sometimes for many hours. Sometimes this would only be noticed later, when recovery tried to do journal replay and failed due to invalid metadata at the blocks that resulted in IO errors. This patch makes GFS2's log daemon check for IO errors. If it encounters one, it withdraws from the file system and reports why in dmesg. A similar action is taken when IO errors occur when writing to the system statfs file. These errors are also reported back to any callers of fsync, since that requires the journal to be flushed. Therefore, any IO errors that would previously go unnoticed are now noticed and the file system is withdrawn as early as possible, thus preventing further file system damage. Also note that this reintroduces superblock variable sd_log_error, which Christoph removed with commit f729b66f. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

When using cman-3.0.12.1 and gfs2-utils-3.0.12.1, mounting and unmounting GFS2 file system would cause kernel to hang. The slab allocator suggests that it is likely a double free memory corruption. The issue is traced back to v3.9-rc6 where a patch is submitted to use kzalloc() for storing a bitmap instead of using a local variable. The intention is to allocate memory during mount and to free memory during unmount. The original patch misses a code path which has already freed the memory and caused memory corruption. This patch sets the memory pointer to NULL after the memory is freed, so that double free memory corruption will not happen. gdlm_mount() '-- set_recover_size() which use kzalloc() '-- if dlm does not support ops callbacks then '--- free_recover_size() which use kfree() gldm_unmount() '-- free_recover_size() which use kfree() Previous patch which introduced the double free issue is commit 57c7310b ("GFS2: use kmalloc for lvb bitmap") Signed-off-by: Thomas Tai <thomas.tai@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Liam R.

On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files). balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed. This patch forces an ail flush when gfs2_writepages() fails to write anything. This is a good indication that the ail might be holding some dirty pages. Signed-off-by: Abhi Das <adas@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

Andreas Gruenbacher authored
gfs2_evict_inode is called to free inodes under memory pressure. The function calls into DLM when an inode's last cluster-wide reference goes away (remote unlink) and to release the glock and associated DLM lock before finally destroying the inode. However, if DLM is blocked on memory to become available, calling into DLM again will deadlock. Avoid that by decoupling releasing glocks from destroying inodes in that case: with gfs2_glock_queue_put, glocks will be dequeued asynchronously in work queue context, when the associated inodes have likely already been destroyed. With this change, inodes can end up being unlinked, remote-unlink can be triggered, and then the inode can be reallocated before all remote-unlink callbacks are processed. To detect that, revalidate the link count in gfs2_evict_inode to make sure we're not deleting an allocated, referenced inode.

Remove gfs2_set_nlink which prevents the link count of an inode from becoming non-zero once it has reached zero. The next commit reduces the amount of waiting on glocks when an inode is evicted from memory. With that, an inode can become reallocated before all the remote-unlink callbacks from a previous delete are processed, which causes the link count to change from zero to non-zero.

Before this patch, glock_dq would call gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru. For glocks that are never put on the LRU, such as the transaction glock, this just takes the spin_lock, determines there's nothing to be done because the list is empty, then unlocks again. This was causing unnecessary lock contention on the lru_lock spin_lock. This patch adds a check for GLOF_LRU in the glops before taking the spin_lock.

This patch adds some calls to clear gl_object in function gfs2_delete_inode. Since we are deleting the inode, and the glock typically outlives the inode in core, we must clear gl_object so subsequent use of the glock (e.g. for a new inode in its place) will not have the old pointer sitting there. In error cases we need to tidy up after ourselves. In non-error cases, we need to clear gl_object before we set the block free in the bitmap so residules aren't left for potential inode creators.

Before this patch, the inode glock's gl_object was set after a reference was acquired, but before the block type was verified. In cases where the block was unlinked, then freed and reused on another node, a residule delete callback (delete_work) would try to look up the inode, eventually failing the block check, but only after it overwrites gl_object with a pointer to the wrong inode. This patch moves the assignment of gl_object after the block check so it won't be improperly overwritten. Likewise, at the end of the function, gfs2_inode_lookup was clearing gl_object after it unlocked the glock, which meant another process might free the glock in the meantime. This patch guards against that case. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

When gfs2 does metadata I/O, only REQ_META is used as a metadata hint of the bio. But flag REQ_META is just a hint for block trace, not for block layer code to handle a bio as metadata request. For some of metadata I/Os of gfs2, A REQ_PRIO flag on the metadata bio would be very informative to block layer code. For example, if bcache is used as a I/O cache for gfs2, it will be possible for bcache code to get the hint and cache the pre-fetched metadata blocks on cache device. This behavior may be helpful to improve metadata I/O performance if the following requests hit the cache. Here are the locations in gfs2 code where a REQ_PRIO flag should be added, - All places where REQ_READAHEAD is used, gfs2 code uses this flag for metadata read ahead. - In gfs2_meta_rq() where the first metadata block is read in. - In gfs2_write_buf_to_page(), read in quota metadata blocks to have them up to date. These metadata blocks are probably to be accessed again in future, adding a REQ_PRIO flag may have bcache to keep such metadata in fast cache device. For system without a cache layer, REQ_PRIO can still provide hint to block layer to handle metadata requests more properly.

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on 'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group. Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of __gfs2_set_acl() into gfs2_set_acl(). That way the function will not be called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create() anyway.

Before this patch, problems reading in indirect buffers would send an IO error back to the caller, and release the buffer_head with brelse() in function gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, however, it would still return the address of the buffer_head it released. After the error was discovered, function gfs2_block_map would call function release_metapath to free all buffers. That checked: if (mp->mp_bh[i] == NULL) but since the value was set after the error, it was non-zero, so brelse was called a second time. This resulted in the following error: kernel: WARNING: at fs/buffer.c:1224 __brelse+0x3a/0x40() (Tainted: G W -- ------------ ) kernel: Hardware name: RHEV Hypervisor kernel: VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer This patch changes gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer so it only sets the buffer_head pointer in cases where it isn't released.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too.

Michael Ellerman reported that commit 8c6657cb ("Switch flock copyin/copyout primitives to copy_{from,to}_user()") broke his networking on a bunch of PPC machines (64-bit kernel, 32-bit userspace). The reason is a brown-paper bug by that commit, which had the arguments to "copy_flock_fields()" in the wrong order, breaking the compat handling for file locking. Apparently very few people run 32-bit user space on x86 any more, so the PPC people got the honor of noticing this "feature". Michael also sent a minimal diff that just changed the order of the arguments in that macro. This is not that minimal diff. This not only changes the order of the arguments in the macro, it also changes them to be pointers (to be consistent with all the other uses of those pointers), and makes the functions that do all of this also have the proper "const" attribution on the source pointers in order to make issues like that (using the source as a destination) be really obvious.

Pull USB fixes from Greg KH: "Here are some remaining USB fixes for 4.13-rc1. They were originally scheduled for 4.12-final, but I didn't send them to you in time. Because of that, they were in a separate branch from the larger USB set of patches, so here they are in a separate pull request. Nothing major here a all, just three small patches: - some usb-serial new device ids - xhci bugfix for some crazy AMD hardware All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-4.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: xhci: Limit USB2 port wake support for AMD Promontory hosts USB: serial: qcserial: new Sierra Wireless EM7305 device ID USB: serial: option: add two Longcheer device ids
