      cleanup console_print() · 353f6dd2
      Anirban Sinha authored
      console_print() is an old legacy interface mostly unused in the entire
      kernel tree. It's best to clean up its existing use and let developers
      use their own implementation of it as they feel fit.

      udf: Fix possible corruption when close races with write · cbc8cc33
      Jan Kara authored
      When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this
      truncation was not protected by i_mutex and thus it could have raced with a
      write through a different fd and cause crashes or even filesystem corruption.

      udf: Perform preallocation only for regular files · 81056dd0
      Jan Kara authored
      So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
      problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
      we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
      1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
         and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
      2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
         does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
         memory reclaim.
      
      So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
      in udf_release_file.

      EDAC: move MCE error descriptions to EDAC core · b70ef010
      Borislav Petkov authored
      This is in preparation of adding AMD-specific MCE decoding functionality
      to the EDAC core. The error decoding macros originate from the AMD64
      EDAC driver albeit in a simplified and cleaned up version here.
      
      While at it, add macros to generate the error description strings and
      use them in the error type decoders directly which removes a bunch of
      code and makes the decoding functions much more readable. Also, fix
      strings and shorten macro names.
      
      Remove superfluous htlink_msgs.

      fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync · 2daea67e
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
      the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
      calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete.  What sounds
      like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.
      
      For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
      updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
      we can write out the metadata.  For old fashionen filesystems that
      instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
      at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
      blocks after a crash.  While a few filesystems that need it already wait
      for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
      as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
      of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.
      
      Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:
      
       - spufs_mfc_fsync:
       - ps3flash_fsync:
       - vol_cdev_fsync:
       - printer_fsync:
       - fb_deferred_io_fsync:
       - bad_file_fsync:
       - simple_sync_file:
      
      	don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are
      	purely in-memory.
      
       - simple_fsync:
       - file_fsync:
       - affs_file_fsync:
       - fat_file_fsync:
       - jfs_fsync:
       - ubifs_fsync:
       - reiserfs_dir_fsync:
       - reiserfs_sync_file:
      
      	never touch pagecache themselves.  We need to wait before if we do
      	not want to expose stale data after an allocation.
      
       - afs_fsync:
       - fuse_fsync_common:
      
      	do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
      	proper semantics
      
       - block_fsync:
      
      	Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode.  Because we
      	now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
      	So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
      	be an improvement.
      
       - btrfs_sync_file:
       - cifs_fsync:
       - xfs_file_fsync:
      
      	need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from
      	doing it outside i_mutex.
      
       - coda_fsync:
       - ecryptfs_fsync:
       - exofs_file_fsync:
       - shm_fsync:
      
      	only passes the fsync through to the lower layer
      
       - ext3_sync_file:
      
      	doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing.
      
       - ext4_sync_file:
      
      	would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
      	i_size updates.  Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.
      
      	currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
      	could benefit from doing it properly.
      
       - gfs2_fsync:
      
      	not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
      	Currently writes back data asynchronously itself.  Needs some
      	major audit.
      
       - hostfs_fsync:
      
      	just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD.  Without the wait before
      	data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.
      
       - hpfs_file_fsync:
       - ncp_fsync:
      
      	no-ops.  Dangerous before and after.
      
       - jffs2_fsync:
      
      	just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.
      
       - nfs_fsync_dir:
      
      	just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous
      
       - nfs_file_fsync:
      
      	only writes out data???  Looks very odd.
      
       - nilfs_sync_file:
      
      	looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code
      
       - ntfs_dir_fsync:
       - ntfs_file_fsync:
      
      	appear to do their own data writeback.  Very convoluted code.
      
       - ocfs2_sync_file:
      
      	does it's own data writeback, but no wait.  probably needs the wait.
      
       - smb_fsync:
      
      	according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
      	the wait before.
      
      This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
      that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers.  Note that most
      filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
      gems found in this very brief audit.

      fat: Opencode sync_page_range_nolock() · 2f3d675b
      Jan Kara authored
      fat_cont_expand() is the only user of sync_page_range_nolock(). It's also the
      only user of generic_osync_inode() which does not have a file open.  So
      opencode needed actions for FAT so that we can convert generic_osync_inode() to
      a standard syncing path.
      
      Update a comment about generic_osync_inode().

      xfs: Convert sync_page_range() to simple filemap_write_and_wait_range() · af0f4414
      Jan Kara authored
      Christoph Hellwig says that it is enough for XFS to call
      filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead of sync_page_range() because we do
      all the metadata syncing when forcing the log.

      ocfs2: Update syncing after splicing to match generic version · d23c937b
      Jan Kara authored
      Update ocfs2 specific splicing code to use generic syncing helper. The sync now
      does not happen under rw_lock because generic_write_sync() acquires i_mutex
      which ranks above rw_lock. That should not matter because standard fsync path
      does not hold it either.
