Function do_sync() encounters filesystem corruption and withdraws the filesystem, which (among other things) calls gfs2_quota_cleanup(). Function gfs2_quota_cleanup() wrongly assumes that nobody is holding any quota data references anymore, and destroys all quota data objects. When gfs2_quota_sync() then resumes and dereferences the quota data objects it is holding, those objects are no longer there. Function gfs2_quota_cleanup() deals with resource deallocation and can easily be delayed until gfs2_put_super() in the case of a filesystem withdraw. In fact, most of the other work gfs2_make_fs_ro() does is unnecessary during a withdraw as well, so change signal_our_withdraw() to skip gfs2_make_fs_ro() and perform the necessary steps directly instead.

Change gfs2_quota_cleanup() to move the quota data objects to dispose of on a dispose list and call gfs2_qd_dispose() on that list, like gfs2_qd_shrink_scan() does, instead of disposing of the quota data objects directly.

Before this patch many of the functions in quota.c got their superblock pointer, sdp, from the quota_data's glock pointer. That's silly because the qd already has its own pointer to the superblock (qd_sbd). This patch changes references to use that instead, eliminating a level of indirection.

Commit f07b3520 ("GFS2: Made logd daemon take into account log demand") changed gfs2_ail_flush_reqd() and gfs2_jrnl_flush_reqd() to take sd_log_blks_needed into account, but the checks in gfs2_log_commit() were not updated correspondingly. Once that is fixed, gfs2_jrnl_flush_reqd() and gfs2_ail_flush_reqd() can be used in gfs2_log_commit(). Make those two helpers available to gfs2_log_commit() by defining them above gfs2_log_commit().

First, function gfs2_ail_flush_reqd checks the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag to determine if an AIL flush should be forced in low-memory situations. However, it also immediately clears the flag, and when called repeatedly as in function gfs2_logd, the flag will be lost. Fix that by pulling the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag check out of gfs2_ail_flush_reqd. Second, function gfs2_writepages sets the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag whether or not enough pages were written. If enough pages could be written, flushing the AIL is unnecessary, though. Third, gfs2_writepages doesn't wake up logd after setting the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag, so it can take a long time for logd to react. It would be preferable to wake up logd, but that hurts the performance of some workloads and we don't quite understand why so far, so don't wake up logd so far.

Consider the following case: 1. A glock is held in shared mode. 2. A process requests the glock in exclusive mode (rename). 3. Before the lock is granted, more processes (read / ls) request the glock in shared mode again. 4. gfs2 sends a request to dlm for the lock in exclusive mode because that holder is at the head of the queue. 5. Somehow the dlm request gets canceled, so dlm sends us back a response with state == LM_ST_SHARED and LM_OUT_CANCELED. So at that point, the glock is still held in shared mode. 6. finish_xmote gets called to process the response from dlm. It detects that the glock is not in the requested mode and no demote is in progress, so it moves the canceled holder to the tail of the queue and finds the new holder at the head of the queue. That holder is requesting the glock in shared mode. 7. finish_xmote calls do_xmote to transition the glock into shared mode, but the glock is already in shared mode and so do_xmote complains about that with: GLOCK_BUG_ON(gl, gl->gl_state == gl->gl_target); Instead, in finish_xmote, after moving the canceled holder to the tail of the queue, check if any new holders can be granted. Only call do_xmote to repeat the dlm request if the holder at the head of the queue is requesting the glock in a mode that is incompatible with the mode the glock is currently held in.

Revert the rest of commit 220cca2a ("GFS2: Change truncate page allocation to be GFP_NOFS"): In gfs2_unstuff_dinode(), there is no need to carry out the page cache allocation under GFP_NOFS because inodes on the "regular" filesystem are never un-inlined under memory pressure, so switch back from find_or_create_page() to grab_cache_page() here as well. Inodes on the "metadata" filesystem can theoretically be un-inlined under memory pressure, but any page cache allocations in that context would happen in GFP_NOFS context because those inodes have inode->i_mapping->gfp_mask set to GFP_NOFS (see the previous patch).

The TPM RNG functionality is not necessary for entropy when the CPU already supports the RDRAND instruction. The TPM RNG functionality was previously disabled on a subset of AMD fTPM series, but reports continue to show problems on some systems causing stutter root caused to TPM RNG functionality. Expand disabling TPM RNG use for all AMD fTPMs whether they have versions that claim to have fixed or not. To accomplish this, move the detection into part of the TPM CRB registration and add a flag indicating that the TPM should opt-out of registration to hwrng.

Starting with patch 2cb1e089, gfs2 started using the new function filemap_splice_read rather than the old (and subsequently deleted) function generic_file_splice_read. filemap_splice_read works by taking references to a number of folios in the page cache and splicing those folios into a pipe. The folios are then read from the pipe and the folio references are dropped. This can take an arbitrary amount of time. We cannot allow that in gfs2 because those folio references will pin the inode glock to the node and prevent it from being demoted, which can lead to cluster-wide deadlocks. Instead, use copy_splice_read. (In addition, the old generic_file_splice_read called into ->read_iter, which called gfs2_file_read_iter, which took the inode glock during the operation. The new filemap_splice_read interface does not take the inode glock anymore. This is fixable, but it still wouldn't prevent cluster-wide deadlocks.)

Function gfs2_trans_add_meta() checks for the SDF_FROZEN flag to make sure that no buffers are added to a transaction while the filesystem is frozen. With the recent freeze/thaw rework, the SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared after thaw_super() is called, which is sufficient for serializing freeze/thaw. However, other filesystem operations started after thaw_super() may now be calling gfs2_trans_add_meta() before the SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared, which will trigger the SDF_FROZEN check in gfs2_trans_add_meta(). Fix that by checking the s_writers.frozen state instead. In addition, make sure not to call gfs2_assert_withdraw() with the sd_log_lock spin lock held. Check for a withdrawn filesystem before checking for a frozen filesystem, and don't pin/add buffers to the current transaction in case of a failure in either case.

Now that we removed ->iterate we don't need to check for either ->iterate or ->iterate_shared in file_needs_f_pos_lock(). Simply check for ->iterate_shared instead. This will tell us whether we need to unconditionally take the lock. Not just does it allow us to avoid checking f_inode's mode it also actually clearly shows that we're locking because of readdir.

All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the directory inode lock for reading. Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode. This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about filesystems that never got converted to the modern era. The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf. Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the dual iterators.

I'm looking at the directory handling due to the discussion about f_pos locking (see commit 79796425: "file: reinstate f_pos locking optimization for regular files"), and wanting to clean that up. And one source of ugliness is how we were supposed to move filesystems over to the '->iterate_shared()' function that only takes the inode lock for reading many many years ago, but several filesystems still use the bad old '->iterate()' that takes the inode lock for exclusive access. See commit 61922694 ("introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()") that also added some documentation stating Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will be removed. Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay. and that was back in April 2016. Here we are, many years later, and the old version is still clearly sadly alive and well. Now, some of those old style iterators are probably just because the filesystem may end up having per-inode mutable data that it uses for iterating a directory, but at least one case is just a mistake. Al switched over most filesystems to use '->iterate_shared()' back when it was introduced. In particular, the /proc filesystem was converted as one of the first ones in commit f50752ea ("switch all procfs directories ->iterate_shared()"). But then later one new user of '->iterate()' was then re-introduced by commit 6d9c939d ("procfs: add smack subdir to attrs"). And that's clearly not what we wanted, since that new case just uses the same 'proc_pident_readdir()' and 'proc_pident_lookup()' helper functions that other /proc pident directories use, and they are most definitely safe to use with the inode lock held shared. So just fix it. This still leaves a fair number of oddball filesystems using the old-style directory iterator (ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf), but at least we don't have any remaining in the core filesystems. I'm going to add a wrapper function that just drops the read-lock and takes it as a write lock, so that we can clean up the core vfs layer and make all the ugly 'this filesystem needs exclusive inode locking' be just filesystem-internal warts. I just didn't want to make that conversion when we still had a core user left. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
