2017-06-22ext2, ext4: make mb block cache names more explicitTahsin Erdogan1-17/+19
There will be a second mb_cache instance that tracks ea_inodes. Make existing names more explicit so that it is clear that they refer to xattr block cache. Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2017-06-22mbcache: make mbcache naming more genericTahsin Erdogan1-9/+9
Make names more generic so that mbcache usage is not limited to block sharing. In a subsequent patch in the series ("ext4: xattr inode deduplication"), we start using the mbcache code for sharing xattr inodes. With that patch, old mb_cache_entry.e_block field could be holding either a block number or an inode number.

2016-09-27fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME_SEC with current_time() for inode timestampsDeepa Dinamani1-1/+1
CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a separate patch. There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use y2038 safe time interfaces. current_time() will also be extended to use superblock range checking parameters when range checking is introduced. This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

2016-07-05ext2: fix filesystem deadlock while reading corrupted xattr blockCarlos Maiolino1-0/+9
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>
2016-02-22mbcache: add reusable flag to cache entriesAndreas Gruenbacher1-1/+1
To reduce amount of damage caused by single bad block, we limit number of inodes sharing an xattr block to 1024. Thus there can be more xattr blocks with the same contents when there are lots of files with the same extended attributes. These xattr blocks naturally result in hash collisions and can form long hash chains and we unnecessarily check each such block only to find out we cannot use it because it is already shared by too many inodes. Add a reusable flag to cache entries which is cleared when a cache entry has reached its maximum refcount. Cache entries which are not marked reusable are skipped by mb_cache_entry_find_{first,next}. This significantly speeds up mbcache when there are many same xattr blocks. For example for xattr-bench with 5 values and each process handling 20000 files, the run for 64 processes is 25x faster with this patch. Even for 8 processes the speedup is almost 3x. We have also verified that for situations where there is only one xattr block of each kind, the patch doesn't have a measurable cost.

2016-02-22ext2: convert to mbcache2Jan Kara1-76/+67
The conversion is generally straightforward. We convert filesystem from a global cache to per-fs one. Similarly to ext4 the tricky part is that xattr block corresponding to found mbcache entry can get freed before we get buffer lock for that block. So we have to check whether the entry is still valid after getting the buffer lock. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro: "All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing. Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted cleanups and fixes from various people, etc. One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications, but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock taken shared. There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/ inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().

2012-04-11ext2: Remove s_dirt handlingJan Kara1-1/+0
Places which modify superblock feature / state fields mark the superblock buffer dirty so it is written out by flusher thread. Thus there's no need to set s_dirt there. The only other fields changing in the superblock are the numbers of free blocks, free inodes and s_wtime. There's no real need to write (or even compute) these periodically. Free blocks / inodes counters are recomputed on every mount from group counters anyway and value of s_wtime is only informational and imprecise anyway. So it should be enough to write these opportunistically on mount, remount, umount, and sync_fs times. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2006-02-17[PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2Peter Staubach1-2/+4
Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.
