2014-03-11UBIFS: fix double free of ubifs_orphan objectsAdam Thomas
commit 8afd500cb52a5d00bab4525dd5a560d199f979b9 upstream. The last orphan in the dnext list has its dnext set to NULL. Because of that, ubifs_delete_orphan assumes that it is not on the dnext list and frees it immediately instead ignoring it as a second delete. The orphan is later freed again by erase_deleted. This change adds an explicit flag to ubifs_orphan indicating whether it is pending delete.

2013-07-03UBIFS: fix a horrid bugArtem Bityutskiy
commit 605c912bb843c024b1ed173dc427cd5c08e5d54d upstream. Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage, but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an security holes. This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which '->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in 'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'. I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but could not crash it with these patches.

2013-07-03UBIFS: prepare to fix a horrid bugArtem Bityutskiy
commit 33f1a63ae84dfd9ad298cf275b8f1887043ced36 upstream. Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem. This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next. In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly, because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names may correspond to incorrect file positions. So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

2013-04-12UBIFS: make space fixup work in the remount caseArtem Bityutskiy
commit 67e753ca41782913d805ff4a8a2b0f60b26b7915 upstream. The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken" flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty pages. The fix-up feature works roughly like this: 1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image (see -F option) 2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot of time. 3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock. This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time. But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O, and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it starts being used.

2012-11-26UBIFS: fix mounting problems after power cutsArtem Bityutskiy
commit a28ad42a4a0c6f302f488f26488b8b37c9b30024 upstream. This is a bugfix for a problem with the following symptoms: 1. A power cut happens 2. After reboot, we try to mount UBIFS 3. Mount fails with "No space left on device" error message UBIFS complains like this: UBIFS error (pid 28225): grab_empty_leb: could not find an empty LEB The root cause of this problem is that when we mount, not all LEBs are categorized. Only those which were read are. However, the 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' function assumes that all LEBs were categorized and 'c->freeable_cnt' is valid, which is a false assumption. This patch fixes the problem by teaching 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' to always fall back to LPT scanning if no freeable LEBs were found. This problem was reported by few people in the past, but Brent Taylor was able to reproduce it and send me a flash image which cannot be mounted, which made it easy to hunt the bug. Kudos to Brent.

2012-09-14UBIFS: fix complaints about too small debug buffer sizeArtem Bityutskiy
commit 65b455b123c7e2b835a0b7148f9bae584f95000e upstream. When debugging is enabled, we use a temporary on-stack buffer for formatting the key strings like "(11368871, direntry, 0xcd0750)". The buffer size is 32 bytes and sometimes it is not enough to fit the key string - e.g., when inode numbers are high. This is not fatal, but the key strings are incomplete and UBIFS complains like this: UBIFS assert failed in dbg_snprintf_key at 137 (pid 1) This is a regression caused by "515315a UBIFS: fix key printing". Fix the issue by increasing the buffer to 48 bytes.

2012-07-29UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-upArtem Bityutskiy
commit c6727932cfdb13501108b16c38463c09d5ec7a74 upstream. UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is relatively new (introduced in v3.0). The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and does not have anything in the journal. There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly. All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0 The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount. The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to 'fixup_leb()'.

2012-02-29UBIFS: do not use inc_link when i_nlink is zeroArtem Bityutskiy
This patch changes the 'i_nlink' counter handling in 'ubifs_unlink()', 'ubifs_rmdir()' and 'ubifs_rename()'. In these function 'i_nlink' may become 0, and if 'ubifs_jnl_update()' failed, we would use 'inc_nlink()' to restore the previous 'i_nlink' value, which is incorrect from the VFS point of view and would cause a 'WARN_ON()' (see 'inc_nlink() implementation). This patches saves the previous 'i_nlink' value in a local variable and uses it at the error path instead of calling 'inc_nlink()'. We do this only for the inodes where 'i_nlink' may potentially become zero. This change has been requested by Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>.

2012-02-29UBIFS: increase dumps loglevelArtem Bityutskiy
Most of the time we use the dumping function to dump something in case of error. We use 'KERN_DEBUG' printk level, and the drawback is that users do not see them in the console, while they see the other error messages in the console. The result is that they send bug reports which does not contain a lot of useful information. This patch changes the printk level of the dump functions to 'KERN_ERR' to correct the situation. I documented it in the MTD web site that people have to send the 'dmesg' output when submitting bug reposts - it did not help. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

Before commit 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 we have had locking around all printing macros and we could use static buffers for creating key strings and printing them. However, now we do not have that locking and we cannot use static buffers. This commit removes the old DBGKEY() macros and introduces few new helper macros for printing debugging messages plus a key at the end. Thankfully, all the messages are already structures in a way that the key is printed in the end. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

2012-01-11UBIFS: fix debugging messagesArtem Bityutskiy
Patch 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 broke UBIFS debugging messages: before that commit when UBIFS debugging was enabled, users saw few useful debugging messages after mount. However, that patch turned 'dbg_msg()' into 'pr_debug()', so to enable the debugging messages users have to enable them first via /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control, which is very impractical. This commit makes 'dbg_msg()' to use 'printk()' instead of 'pr_debug()', just as it was before the breakage.

So now we lock the "dbg_lock" and release it in every debugging macro, which make them not so light-weight. This commit removes the "dbg_lock" protection from the debugging macros to fix the issue. The downside is that now our DBGKEY() stuff is broken, but this is not critical at all and will be fixed later.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-08UBIFS: fix master node recoveryAnatolij Gustschin
When the 1st LEB was unmapped and written but 2nd LEB not, the master node recovery doesn't succeed after power cut. We see following error when mounting UBIFS partition on NOR flash: UBIFS error (pid 1137): ubifs_recover_master_node: failed to recover master node Correct 2nd master node offset check is needed to fix the problem. If the 2nd master node is at the end in the 2nd LEB, first master node is used for recovery. When checking for this condition we should check whether the master node is exactly at the end of the LEB (without remaining empty space) or whether it is followed by an empty space less than the master node size. Artem: when the error happened, offs2 = 261120, sz = 512, c->leb_size = 262016. Signed-off-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@gmail.com>
2011-07-04UBIFS: improve power cut emulation testingArtem Bityutskiy
This patch cleans-up and improves the power cut testing: 1. Kill custom 'simple_random()' function and use 'random32()' instead. 2. Make timeout larger 3. When cutting the buffer - fill the end with random data sometimes, not only with 0xFFs. 4. Some times cut in the middle of the buffer, not always at the end.

2011-07-04UBIFS: rename recovery testing variablesArtem Bityutskiy
Since the recovery testing is effectively about emulating power cuts by UBIFS, use "power cut" as the base term for all the related variables and name them correspondingly. This is just a minor clean-up for the sake of readability. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2011-07-04UBIFS: remove custom list of superblocksArtem Bityutskiy
This is a clean-up of the power-cut emulation code - remove the custom list of superblocks which we maintained to find the superblock by the UBI volume descriptor. We do not need that crud any longer, because now we can get the superblock as a function argument. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
