2012-01-06NFS: Fix a regression in nfs_file_llseek()Trond Myklebust
commit 6c52961743f38747401b47127b82159ab6d8a7a4 upstream. After commit 06222e491e663dac939f04b125c9dc52126a75c4 (fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek) the behaviour of llseek() was changed so that it always revalidates the file size. The bug appears to be due to a logic error in the afore-mentioned commit, which always evaluates to 'true'.

commit b48c6af2086ab2ba8a9c9b6ce9ecb34592ce500c upstream. The test in fuse_file_llseek() "not SEEK_CUR or not SEEK_SET" always evaluates to true. This was introduced in 3.1 by commit 06222e49 (fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek) and changed the behavior of SEEK_CUR and SEEK_SET to always retrieve the file attributes. This is a performance regression. Fix the test so that it makes sense.

2011-12-21hfs: fix hfs_find_init() sb->ext_tree NULL ptr oopsPhillip Lougher
commit 434a964daa14b9db083ce20404a4a2add54d037a upstream. Clement Lecigne reports a filesystem which causes a kernel oops in hfs_find_init() trying to dereference sb->ext_tree which is NULL. This proves to be because the filesystem has a corrupted MDB extent record, where the extents file does not fit into the first three extents in the file record (the first blocks). In hfs_get_block() when looking up the blocks for the extent file (HFS_EXT_CNID), it fails the first blocks special case, and falls through to the extent code (which ultimately calls hfs_find_init()) which is in the process of being initialised. Hfs avoids this scenario by always having the extents b-tree fitting into the first blocks (the extents B-tree can't have overflow extents). The fix is to check at mount time that the B-tree fits into first blocks, i.e. fail if HFS_I(inode)->alloc_blocks >= HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks Note, the existing commit 47f365eb57573 ("hfs: fix oops on mount with corrupted btree extent records") becomes subsumed into this as a special case, but only for the extents B-tree (HFS_EXT_CNID), it is perfectly acceptable for the catalog B-Tree file to grow beyond three extents, with the remaining extent descriptors in the extents overfow.

commit 8762202dd0d6e46854f786bdb6fb3780a1625efe upstream. I hit a J_ASSERT(blocknr != 0) failure in cleanup_journal_tail() when mounting a fsfuzzed ext3 image.

2011-12-21cifs: check for NULL last_entry before calling cifs_save_resume_keyJeff Layton
commit 7023676f9ee851d94f0942e879243fc1f9081c47 upstream. Prior to commit eaf35b1, cifs_save_resume_key had some NULL pointer checks at the top. It turns out that at least one of those NULL pointer checks is needed after all. When the LastNameOffset in a FIND reply appears to be beyond the end of the buffer, CIFSFindFirst and CIFSFindNext will set srch_inf.last_entry to NULL. Since eaf35b1, the code will now oops in this situation. Fix this by having the callers check for a NULL last entry pointer before calling cifs_save_resume_key. No change is needed for the call site in cifs_readdir as it's not reachable with a NULL current_entry pointer.

2011-12-21fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() APIAl Viro
commit 02125a826459a6ad142f8d91c5b6357562f96615 upstream. __d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place. * if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(), BTW. * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway - the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped ignoring the return value as it used to do).

2011-12-09xfs: fix buffer flushing during unmountChristoph Hellwig
commit 87c7bec7fc3377b3873eb3a0f4b603981ea16ebb upstream. The code to flush buffers in the umount code is a bit iffy: we first flush all delwri buffers out, but then might be able to queue up a new one when logging the sb counts. On a normal shutdown that one would get flushed out when doing the synchronous superblock write in xfs_unmountfs_writesb, but we skip that one if the filesystem has been shut down. Fix this by moving the delwri list flushing until just before unmounting the log, and while we're at it also remove the superflous delwri list and buffer lru flusing for the rt and log device that can never have cached or delwri buffers.

2011-12-09xfs: don't serialise direct IO reads on page cache checksDave Chinner
commit 0c38a2512df272b14ef4238b476a2e4f70da1479 upstream. There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO reads to the same inode. Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state, and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive locking will occur.

commit 4c81f045c0bd2cbb78cc6446a4cd98038fe11a2e upstream. ext4_end_io_dio() queues io_end->work and then clears iocb->private; however, io_end->work calls aio_complete() which frees the iocb object.

2011-12-09eCryptfs: Extend array bounds for all filename charsTyler Hicks
commit 0f751e641a71157aa584c2a2e22fda52b52b8a56 upstream. From mhalcrow's original commit message: Characters with ASCII values greater than the size of filename_rev_map[] are valid filename characters. ecryptfs_decode_from_filename() will access kernel memory beyond that array, and ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet() will then decrypt those characters. The attacker, using the FNEK of the crafted file, can then re-encrypt the characters to reveal the kernel memory past the end of the filename_rev_map[] array. I expect low security impact since this array is statically allocated in the text area, and the amount of memory past the array that is accessible is limited by the largest possible ASCII filename character. This patch solves the issue reported by mhalcrow but with an implementation suggested by Linus to simply extend the length of filename_rev_map[] to 256. Characters greater than 0x7A are mapped to 0x00, which is how invalid characters less than 0x7A were previously being handled.

2011-11-26nfs: when attempting to open a directory, fall back on normal lookup (try #5)Jeff Layton
commit 1788ea6e3b2a58cf4fb00206e362d9caff8d86a7 upstream. commit d953126 changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that. That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed. Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns -ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly, but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging. To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the nfs_rpc_ops struct.

2011-11-11VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossingAl Viro
commit a3fbbde70a0cec017f2431e8f8de208708c76acc upstream. Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with unpleasant consequences for NFS4. Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline: cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF' #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> main() { struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1}; if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl)) perror("setlk"); } EOF cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test then on nfs4: mount --bind file1 file2 /tmp/test < file1 # ok /tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"... What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server. The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

2011-11-11ext4: fix race in xattr block allocation pathEric Sandeen
commit 6d6a435190bdf2e04c9465cde5bdc3ac68cf11a4 upstream. Ceph users reported that when using Ceph on ext4, the filesystem would often become corrupted, containing inodes with incorrect i_blocks counters. I managed to reproduce this with a very hacked-up "streamtest" binary from the Ceph tree. Ceph is doing a lot of xattr writes, to out-of-inode blocks. There is also another thread which does sync_file_range and close, of the same files. The problem appears to happen due to this race: sync/flush thread xattr-set thread ----------------- ---------------- do_writepages ext4_xattr_set ext4_da_writepages ext4_xattr_set_handle mpage_da_map_blocks ext4_xattr_block_set set DELALLOC_RESERVE ext4_new_meta_blocks ext4_mb_new_blocks if (!i_delalloc_reserved_flag) vfs_dq_alloc_block ext4_get_blocks down_write(i_data_sem) set i_delalloc_reserved_flag ... up_write(i_data_sem) if (i_delalloc_reserved_flag) vfs_dq_alloc_block_nofail In other words, the sync/flush thread pops in and sets i_delalloc_reserved_flag on the inode, which makes the xattr thread think that it's in a delalloc path in ext4_new_meta_blocks(), and add the block for a second time, after already having added it once in the !i_delalloc_reserved_flag case in ext4_mb_new_blocks The real problem is that we shouldn't be using the DELALLOC_RESERVED state flag, and instead we should be passing EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE down to ext4_map_blocks() instead of using an inode state flag. We'll fix this for now with using i_data_sem to prevent this race, but this is really not the right way to fix things.

Yet another open-management regression: - nfs4_file_downgrade() doesn't remove the BOTH access bit on downgrade, so the server's idea of the stateid's access gets out of sync with the client's. If we want to keep an O_RDWR open in this case, we should do that in the file_put_access logic rather than here. - We forgot to convert v4 access to an open mode here. This logic has proven too hard to get right. In the future we may consider: - reexamining the lock/openowner relationship (locks probably don't really need to take their own references here). - adding open upgrade/downgrade support to the vfs. - removing the atomic operations. They're redundant as long as this is all under some other lock. Also, maybe some kind of additional static checking would help catch O_/NFS4_SHARE_ACCESS confusion. Signed-off-by: J.

commit a043226bc140a2c1dde162246d68a67e5043e6b2 upstream. A client that wants to execute a file must be able to read it. Read opens over nfs are therefore implicitly allowed for executable files even when those files are not readable. NFSv2/v3 get this right by using a passed-in NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE on read requests, but NFSv4 has gotten this wrong ever since dc730e173785e29b297aa605786c94adaffe2544 "nfsd4: fix owner-override on open", when we realized that the file owner shouldn't override permissions on non-reclaim NFSv4 opens. So we can't use NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE to tell nfsd_permission to allow reads of executable files. So, do the same thing we do whenever we encounter another weird NFS permission nit: define yet another NFSD_MAY_* flag. The industry's future standardization on 128-bit processors will be motivated primarily by the need for integers with enough bits for all the NFSD_MAY_* flags.

2011-11-11nfs: don't redirty inode when ncommit == 0 in nfs_commit_unstable_pagesJeff Layton
commit 3236c3e1adc0c7ec83eaff1de2d06746b7c5bb28 upstream. commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of outstanding pages. However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush. Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when ncommit == 0. Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being marked clean. What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.
