Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:
client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
...
server$ df -i /export
server$ rm /export/FOO
(^C the tail -f)
server$ df -i /export
server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
server$ df -i /export
the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.
This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:
- putfh: look up the filehandle. The only alias found for the
inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
returns that instead.
- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
- end of the compound: release the reference
to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.
Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.
Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.
Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().
b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

In case of a nonempty list, the return on error here is obviously bogus;
it ends up being a pointer to the list head instead of to any valid
delegation on the list.
In particular, if nfsd4_delegreturn() hits this case, and you're quite unlucky,
then renew_client may oops, and it may take an embarassingly long time to
figure out why. Facepalm.

It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.
We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
__nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
xs_sendpages. __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set. We can't create a buffer with
kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
to either:
1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
PG_Slab set
or
2) not use a page list to send this data
Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
think (1) is the right way to go. I've written the below patch to
allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
to it. This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
the frame is acked. We do a put page on each entry after the
rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages. This way the data
will be properly freed when the ack comes in
Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.
Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.

failure exits on the no-O_CREAT side of do_filp_open() merge with
those of O_CREAT one; unfortunately, if do_path_lookup() returns
-ESTALE, we'll get out_filp:, notice that we are about to return
-ESTALE without having trying to create the sucker with LOOKUP_REVAL
and jump right into the O_CREAT side of code. And proceed to try
and create a file. Usually that'll fail with -ESTALE again, but
we can race and get that attempt of pathname resolution to succeed.
open() without O_CREAT really shouldn't end up creating files, races
or not. The real fix is to rearchitect the whole do_filp_open(),
but for now splitting the failure exits will do.

if directory has so many subdirectories that its link count is set

vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.
In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

Commit 493f3358cb289ccf716c5a14fa5bb52ab75943e5 added this call to
xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back
to user space:
+ memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo));
Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the
address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that
xfs_fs_geometry() requires. As a result, this can happen:
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted
in: f87aca93
Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1

Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then
copy out the subset it is interested in.

According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in
2.6.37?" (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and
later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints
that snapshot operations or garbage collection created.
This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's
critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications.
For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create
meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another
checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new
checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag.
This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior
back to normal.

A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():

ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);

Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.

put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs
We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.
The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
int main(void) {
int e1, e2, p[2];
struct epoll_event evt = {
.events = EPOLLIN
};
e1 = epoll_create(1);
e2 = epoll_create(2);
pipe(p);
epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
return 0;
}
On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.
