      iocost: fix infinite loop bug in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() · aa67db24
      Tejun Heo authored
      adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() is responsible for reducing the amount of
      donated weights dynamically in period as the budget runs low. Because we
      don't want to do full donation calculation in period, we keep latching up
      inuse by INUSE_ADJ_STEP_PCT of the active weight of the cgroup until the
      resulting hweight_inuse is satisfactory.
      
      Unfortunately, the adj_step calculation was reading the active weight before
      acquiring ioc->lock. Because the current thread could have lost race to
      activate the iocg to another thread before entering this function, it may
      read the active weight as zero before acquiring ioc->lock. When this
      happens, the adj_step is calculated as zero and the incremental adjustment
      loop becomes an infinite one.
      
      Fix it by fetching the active weight after acquiring ioc->lock.

      fs: Don't invalidate page buffers in block_write_full_page() · 6dbf7bb5
      Jan Kara authored
      If block_write_full_page() is called for a page that is beyond current
      inode size, it will truncate page buffers for the page and return 0.
      This logic has been added in 2.5.62 in commit 81eb6906 ("fix ext3
      BUG due to race with truncate") in history.git tree to fix a problem
      with ext3 in data=ordered mode. This particular problem doesn't exist
      anymore because ext3 is long gone and ext4 handles ordered data
      differently. Also normally buffers are invalidated by truncate code and
      there's no need to specially handle this in ->writepage() code.
      
      This invalidation of page buffers in block_write_full_page() is causing
      issues to filesystems (e.g. ext4 or ocfs2) when block device is shrunk
      under filesystem's hands and metadata buffers get discarded while being
      tracked by the journalling layer. Although it is obviously "not
      supported" it can cause kernel crashes like:

      which is not great. The crash happens because bh->b_private is suddently
      NULL although BH_JBD flag is still set (this is because
      block_invalidatepage() cleared BH_Mapped flag and subsequent bh lookup
      found buffer without BH_Mapped set, called init_page_buffers() which has
      rewritten bh->b_private). So just remove the invalidation in
      block_write_full_page().
      
      Note that the buffer cache invalidation when block device changes size
      is already careful to avoid similar problems by using
      invalidate_mapping_pages() which skips busy buffers so it was only this
      odd block_write_full_page() behavior that could tear down bdev buffers
      under filesystem's hands.
