There is some concern that these iput()'s could be the final iputs and could induce lockups on people waiting on writeback. This would happen in the rare case that we don't create ordered extents because of an error, but it is theoretically possible and we already have a mechanism to deal with this so just make them delayed iputs to negate any worry.

add_all_parents did assume that path is already at a correct extent data item, which may not be true in case of data extents that were partly rewritten and splitted. We need to check if we're on a matching extent for every item and only for the ones after the first. The loop is changed to do this now. This patch also fixes a bug introduced with commit 3b127fd8 "Btrfs: remove obsolete btrfs_next_leaf call from __resolve_indirect_ref". The removal of next_leaf did sometimes result in slot==nritems when the above described case happens, and thus resulting in invalid values (e.g. wanted_obejctid) in add_all_parents (leading to missed backrefs or even crashes).

__alloc_memory_core_early() asks memblock for a range of memory then try to reserve it. If the reserved region array lacks space for the new range, memblock_double_array() is called to allocate more space for the array. If memblock is used to allocate memory for the new array it can end up using a range that overlaps with the range originally allocated in __alloc_memory_core_early(), leading to possible data corruption. With this patch memblock_double_array() now calls memblock_find_in_range() with a narrowed candidate range (in cases where the reserved.regions array is being doubled) so any memory allocated will not overlap with the original range that was being reserved. The range is narrowed by passing in the starting address and size of the previously allocated range. Then the range above the ending address is searched and if a candidate is not found, the range below the starting address is searched.

find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df ("pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing"). The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes(). However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper. __unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child reaper. As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's pid_ns and remove this code. Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back, where it was before the previous fix. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

Eric W. Biederman authored
Today we have a twofold bug. Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had release task called. With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt, resulting in the use of a stale pointer. This same set of circumstances can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has actually exited. To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies. The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to become EXIT_DEAD and self reap. With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last task that release_task is called on. With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.

A gc-inode is a pseudo inode used to buffer the blocks to be moved by garbage collection. Block caches of gc-inodes must be cleared every time a garbage collection function (nilfs_clean_segments) completes. Otherwise, stale blocks buffered in the caches may be wrongly reused in successive calls of the GC function. For user files, this is not a problem because their gc-inodes are distinguished by a checkpoint number as well as an inode number. They never buffer different blocks if either an inode number, a checkpoint number, or a block offset differs. However, gc-inodes of sufile, cpfile and DAT file can store different data for the same block offset. Thus, the nilfs_clean_segments function can move incorrect block for these meta-data files if an old block is cached. I found this is really causing meta-data corruption in nilfs. This fixes the issue by ensuring cache clear of gc-inodes and resolves reported GC problems including checkpoint file corruption, b-tree corruption, and the following warning during GC. nilfs_palloc_freev: entry number 307234 already freed. ...

In the x86 32bit PAE CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y case while holding the mmap_sem for reading, cmpxchg8b cannot be used to read pmd contents under Xen. So instead of dealing only with "consistent" pmdvals in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (which would be conceptually simpler) we let pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() deal with pmdvals where the low 32bit and high 32bit could be inconsistent (to avoid having to use cmpxchg8b). The only guarantee we get from pmd_read_atomic is that if the low part of the pmd was found null, the high part will be null too (so the pmd will be considered unstable). And if the low part of the pmd is found "stable" later, then it means the whole pmd was read atomically (because after a pmd is stable, neither MADV_DONTNEED nor page faults can alter it anymore, and we read the high part after the low part). In the 32bit PAE x86 case, it is enough to read the low part of the pmdval atomically to declare the pmd as "stable" and that's true for THP and no THP, furthermore in the THP case we also have a barrier() that will prevent any inconsistent pmdvals to be cached by a later re-read of the *pmd.

On arches that do not support this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() slab_lock is used to do atomic cmpxchg() on double word which contains page->_count. The page count can be changed from get_page() or put_page() without taking slab_lock. That corrupts page counter. Fix it by moving page->_count out of cmpxchg_double data. So that slub does no change it while updating slub meta-data in struct page.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "This includes three MMCI changes - one to fix up the wrong version of the DT support patch which was merged, and two to make deferred probing work. It also includes a fix to the OMAP SPI driver which is causing a boot time warning. The remainder are very minor ARM fixes." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: SPI: fix over-eager devm_xxx() conversion ARM: 7427/1: mmc: mmci: Defer probe() in case of yet uninitialized GPIOs ARM: 7426/1: mmc: mmci: Remove wrong error handling of gpio 0 ARM: 7425/1: extable: ensure fixup entries are 4-byte aligned ARM: 7421/1: bpf_jit: BPF_S_ANC_ALU_XOR_X support ARM: 7423/1: kprobes: run t32_simulate_ldr_literal() without insn slot ARM: 7422/1: mmc: mmci: Allocate platform memory during Device Tree boot
