However, ext4_mb_release_context() is the wrong thing to call here since we are still actually using the allocation context. Instead, just error out. We could retry the allocation, but there is a possibility of getting stuck in an infinite loop instead, so this seems safer.

This bug can be reproducible with fsfuzzer, although, I couldn't reproduce it 100% of my tries, it is quite easily reproducible. During the deletion of an inode, ext2_xattr_delete_inode() does not check if the block pointed by EXT2_I(inode)->i_file_acl is a valid data block, this might lead to a deadlock, when i_file_acl == 1, and the filesystem block size is 1024. In that situation, ext2_xattr_delete_inode, will load the superblock's buffer head (instead of a valid i_file_acl block), and then lock that buffer head, which, ext2_sync_super will also try to lock, making the filesystem deadlock in the following stack trace: root 17180 0.0 0.0 113660 660 pts/0 D+ 07:08 0:00 rmdir /media/test/dir1 [<ffffffff8125da9f>] __sync_dirty_buffer+0xaf/0x100 [<ffffffff8125db03>] sync_dirty_buffer+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffffa03f0d57>] ext2_sync_super+0xb7/0xc0 [ext2] [<ffffffffa03f10b9>] ext2_error+0x119/0x130 [ext2] [<ffffffffa03e9d93>] ext2_free_blocks+0x83/0x350 [ext2] [<ffffffffa03f3d03>] ext2_xattr_delete_inode+0x173/0x190 [ext2] [<ffffffffa03ee9e9>] ext2_evict_inode+0xc9/0x130 [ext2] [<ffffffff8123fd23>] evict+0xb3/0x180 [<ffffffff81240008>] iput+0x1b8/0x240 [<ffffffff8123c4ac>] d_delete+0x11c/0x150 [<ffffffff8122fa7e>] vfs_rmdir+0xfe/0x120 [<ffffffff812340ee>] do_rmdir+0x17e/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81234dd6>] SyS_rmdir+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff81838cf2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Fix this by using the same approach ext4 uses to test data blocks validity, implementing ext2_data_block_valid. An another possibility when the superblock is very corrupted, is that i_file_acl is 1, block_count is 1 and first_data_block is 0. For such situations, we might have i_file_acl pointing to a 'valid' block, but still step over the superblock. The approach I used was to also test if the superblock is not in the range described by ext2_data_block_valid() arguments Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory. Add the same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after the file system is mounted.

If ext4_fill_super() fails early, it's possible for ext4_evict_inode() to call ext4_should_journal_data() before superblock options and flags are fully set up. In that case, the iput() on the journal inode can end up causing a BUG(). Work around this problem by reordering the tests so we only call ext4_should_journal_data() after we know it's not the journal inode.

If there are racing calls to ext4_commit_super() it's possible for another writeback of the superblock to result in the buffer being marked with an error after we check if the buffer is marked as having a write error and the buffer up-to-date flag is set again. If that happens mark_buffer_dirty() can end up throwing a WARN_ON_ONCE. Fix this by moving this check to write before we call write_buffer_dirty(), and keeping the buffer locked during this whole sequence. Signed-off-by: Pranay Kr.

Commit 06bd3c36 (ext4: fix data exposure after a crash) uncovered a deadlock in ext4_writepages() which was previously much harder to hit. After this commit xfstest generic/130 reproduces the deadlock on small filesystems. The problem happens when ext4_do_update_inode() sets LARGE_FILE feature and marks current inode handle as synchronous. That subsequently results in ext4_journal_stop() called from ext4_writepages() to block waiting for transaction commit while still holding page locks, reference to io_end, and some prepared bio in mpd structure each of which can possibly block transaction commit from completing and thus results in deadlock. Fix the problem by releasing page locks, io_end reference, and submitting prepared bio before calling ext4_journal_stop().

We temporally change checksum fields in buffers of some types of metadata into '0' for verifying the checksum values. By doing this without locking the buffer, some metadata's checksums, which are being committed or written back to the storage, could be damaged. In our test, several metadata blocks were found with damaged metadata checksum value during recovery process. When we only verify the checksum value, we have to avoid modifying checksum fields directly.

An extent with lblock = 4294967295 and len = 1 will pass the ext4_valid_extent() test: ext4_lblk_t last = lblock + len - 1; if (len == 0 || lblock > last) return 0; since last = 4294967295 + 1 - 1 = 4294967295. This would later trigger the BUG_ON(es->es_lblk + es->es_len < es->es_lblk) in ext4_es_end(). We can simplify it by removing the - 1 altogether and changing the test to use lblock + len <= lblock, since now if len = 0, then lblock + 0 == lblock and it fails, and if len > 0 then lblock + len > lblock in order to pass (i.e. it doesn't overflow).

So far we were tracking only dependency on transaction commit due to starting a new handle (which may require commit to start a new transaction). Now add tracking also for other cases where we wait for transaction commit. This way lockdep can catch deadlocks e. g. because we call jbd2_journal_stop() for a synchronous handle with some locks held which rank below transaction start.

To be able to expand lockdep support to cover also other cases where we depend on transaction commit and where handle is not available, move lockdep map into struct journal_s.

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is displayed in /proc/mounts. However, there is a problem that the options may disappear after remount. If we mount the filesystem with option1 and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1 and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs. To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints options that are currently selected.

Commit c8f33d0b ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition. However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL. In this case, kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with ENOMEM. This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL. The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin: "This series does several related things: - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use. (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case) - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the above. - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two 32-bit multiplies will do well enough. - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32. This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()") The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for 32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified" multipliers. The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those patches are last in the series. - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing. The patch in commit 0fed3ac8 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion. Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!) - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to. - Sort out partial_name_hash(). The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things: - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long) rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other than full_name_hash" Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.) On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from the H8/300 world" * 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux: h8300: Add <asm/hash.h> microblaze: Add <asm/hash.h> m68k: Add <asm/hash.h> <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions fs/namei.c: Improve dcache hash function Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64() Change hash_64() return value to 32 bits <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function Pull out string hash to <linux/stringhash.h>

Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways. If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32() will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop.

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet. This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares the existence of <asm/hash.h>. That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones. Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics. It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with the value 1, then equality is tested.

Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86) each loop iteration. Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel), and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid slowing it down. There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that: 1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and 2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and 3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations. One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much. The key insights in this design are: 1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like. 2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three instructions. 3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state. With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster. 4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing; we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible. 5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing in fewer cycles. I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration (assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction): x ^= *input++; y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1); x += y; y = ROL(y, K2); y *= 9; Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible: if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at least 3 words of input are required to create a collision. (It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that it hashes all-zero to all-zero.) The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score. The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y, trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits), so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the shifts is odd and not too close to the word size. The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic before the hash value is used for anything. (Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6. To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified" multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32 for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition.

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return type of hash_long() consistent. It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation of hash_64 on 32-bit machines. I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own, and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required for that. (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>
