Before this patch, journal replays could stomp on log flushes
and each other because both log flushes and journal replays used
the same sd_log_bio. Function gfs2_log_flush prevents other log
flushes from interfering by taking the sd_log_flush_lock rwsem
during the flush. However, it does not protect against journal
replays. This patch allows the journal replay to take the same
sd_log_flush_lock rwsem so use of the sd_log_bio is not stomped.

Before this patch, function gfs2_releasepage would free any bd
elements that had been used for the page being released. However,
those bd elements may still be queued to the sd_log_revokes list,
in which case we cannot free them until the revoke has been issued.
This patch adds additional checks for bds that are still being
used for revokes.

Function gfs2_log_flush() had a few places where it tried to withdraw
from the file system when errors were encountered. The problem is,
it should delay those withdraws until the log flush lock is no longer
held.
This patch creates a new function just for delayed withdraws for
situations like this. If errors=panic was specified on mount, we
still want to do it the old fashioned way because the panic it does
not help to delay in that situation.

Before this patch, function do_xmote would try to sync out the glock
dirty data by calling the appropriate glops function XXX_go_sync()
but it did not check for a good return code. If the sync was not
possible due to an io error or whatever, do_xmote would continue on
and call go_inval and release the glock to other cluster nodes.
When those nodes go to replay the journal, they may already be holding
glocks for the journal records that should have been synced, but were
not due to the ignored error.
This patch introduces proper error code checking to the go_sync
family of glops functions.

Before this patch, run_queue would demote glocks based on whether
there are any more holders. But if the glock has pending revokes that
haven't been written to the media, giving up the glock might end in
file system corruption if the revokes never get written due to
io errors, node crashes and fences, etc. In that case, another node
will replay the metadata blocks associated with the glock, but
because the revoke was never written, it could replay that block
even though the glock had since been granted to another node who
might have made changes.
This patch changes the logic in run_queue so that it never demotes
a glock until its count of pending revokes reaches zero.

Before this patch, gfs2_logd continually tried to flush its journal
log, after the file system is withdrawn. We don't want to write anything
to the journal, lest we add corruption. Best course of action is to
drain the ail1 into the ail2 list (via gfs2_ail1_empty) then drain the
ail2 list with a new function, ail2_drain.

Before this patch, function gfs2_ail1_start_one would return any
errors it received from write_cache_pages (except -EBUSY) but it did
not withdraw. Since function gfs2_ail1_flush just checks for the bad
return code and loops, the loop might potentially never end.
This patch adds some logic to allow it to exit the loop and withdraw
properly when errors are received from write_cache_pages.

Before this patch, if gfs2_ail_empty_gl saw there was nothing on
the ail list, it would return and not flush the log. The problem
is that there could still be a revoke for the rgrp sitting on the
sd_log_le_revoke list that's been recently taken off the ail list.
But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval
still needs to call log_flush_wait to ensure the revokes are all
properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of
the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node
before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal
replayed, in which case the missing revoke would allow the journal
replay to replay the rgrp over top of the rgrp we already gave to
another node, thus overwriting its changes and corrupting the
file system.
This patch makes gfs2_ail_empty_gl still call gfs2_log_flush rather
than returning.

Before this patch, function do_xmote just assumed all the writes
submitted to the journal were finished and successful, and it
called the go_unlock function to release the dlm lock. But if
they're not, and a revoke failed to make its way to the journal,
a journal replay on another node will cause corruption if we
let the go_inval function continue and tell dlm to release the
glock to another node. This patch adds a couple checks for errors
in do_xmote after the calls to go_sync and go_inval. If an error
is found, we cannot withdraw yet, because the withdraw itself
uses glocks to make the file system read-only. Instead, we flag
the error. Later, asserts should cause another node to replay
the journal before continuing, thus protecting rgrp and dinode
glocks and maintaining the integrity of the metadata. Note that
we only need to do this for journaled glocks. System glocks
should be able to progress even under withdrawn conditions.

Before this patch, function gfs2_end_log_write would detect any IO
errors writing to the journal and put out an appropriate message,
but it never set a withdrawing condition. Eventually, the log daemon
would see the error and determine it was time to withdraw, but in
the meantime, other processes could continue running as if nothing
bad ever happened. The biggest consequence is that __gfs2_glock_put
would BUG() when it saw that there were still unwritten items.
This patch sets the WITHDRAWING status as soon as an IO error is
detected, and that way, the BUG will be avoided so the file system
can be properly withdrawn and unmounted.

Before this patch, function gfs2_write_revokes would call
gfs2_ail1_empty, then traverse the sd_ail1_list looking for
transactions that had bds which were no longer queued to a glock.
And if it found some, it would try to issue revokes for them, up to
a predetermined maximum. There were two problems with how it did
this. First was the fact that gfs2_ail1_empty moves transactions
which have nothing remaining on the ail1 list from the sd_ail1_list
to the sd_ail2_list, thus making its traversal of sd_ail1_list
miss them completely, and therefore, never issue revokes for them.
Second was the fact that there were three traversals (or partial
traversals) of the sd_ail1_list, each of which took and then
released the sd_ail_lock lock: First inside gfs2_ail1_empty,
second to determine if there are any revokes to be issued, and
third to actually issue them. All this taking and releasing of the
sd_ail_lock meant other processes could modify the lists and the
conditions in which we're working.
This patch simplies the whole process by adding a new parameter
to function gfs2_ail1_empty, max_revokes. For normal calls, this
is passed in as 0, meaning we don't want to issue any revokes.
For function gfs2_write_revokes, we pass in the maximum number
of revokes we can, thus allowing gfs2_ail1_empty to add the
revokes where needed. This simplies the code, allows for a single
holding of the sd_ail_lock, and allows gfs2_ail1_empty to add
revokes for all the necessary bd items without missing any.

Before this patch, the rgrp_go_inval and inode_go_inval functions each
checked if there were any items left on the ail count (by way of a
count), and if so, did a withdraw. But the withdraw code now uses
glocks when changing the file system to read-only status. So we can
not have glock functions withdrawing or a hang will likely result:
The glocks can't be serviced by the work_func if the work_func is
busy doing its own withdraw.
This patch removes the checks from the go_inval functions and adds
a centralized check in do_xmote to warn about the problem and not
withdraw, but flag the error so it's eventually caught when the logd
daemon eventually runs.

When a node withdraws from a file system, it often leaves its journal
in an incomplete state. This is especially true when the withdraw is
caused by io errors writing to the journal. Before this patch, a
withdraw would try to write a "shutdown" record to the journal, tell
dlm it's done with the file system, and none of the other nodes
know about the problem. Later, when the problem is fixed and the
withdrawn node is rebooted, it would then discover that its own
journal was incomplete, and replay it. However, replaying it at this
point is almost guaranteed to introduce corruption because the other
nodes are likely to have used affected resource groups that appeared
in the journal since the time of the withdraw. Replaying the journal
later will overwrite any changes made, and not through any fault of
dlm, which was instructed during the withdraw to release those
resources.
This patch makes file system withdraws seen by the entire cluster.
Withdrawing nodes dequeue their journal glock to allow recovery.
The remaining nodes check all the journals to see if they are
clean or in need of replay. They try to replay dirty journals, but
only the journals of withdrawn nodes will be "not busy" and
therefore available for replay.
Until the journal replay is complete, no i/o related glocks may be
given out, to ensure that the replay does not cause the
aforementioned corruption: We cannot allow any journal replay to
overwrite blocks associated with a glock once it is held.
The "live" glock which is now used to signal when a withdraw
occurs. When a withdraw occurs, the node signals its withdraw by
dequeueing the "live" glock and trying to enqueue it in EX mode,
thus forcing the other nodes to all see a demote request, by way
of a "1CB" (one callback) try lock. The "live" glock is not
granted in EX; the callback is only just used to indicate a
withdraw has occurred.
Note that all nodes in the cluster must wait for the recovering
node to finish replaying the withdrawing node's journal before
continuing. To this end, it checks that the journals are clean
multiple times in a retry loop.
Also note that the withdraw function may be called from a wide
variety of situations, and therefore, we need to take extra
precautions to make sure pointers are valid before using them in
many circumstances.
We also need to take care when glocks decide to withdraw, since
the withdraw code now uses glocks.
Also, before this patch, if a process encountered an error and
decided to withdraw, if another process was already withdrawing,
the second withdraw would be silently ignored, which set it free
to unlock its glocks. That's correct behavior if the original
withdrawer encounters further errors down the road. But if
secondary waiters don't wait for the journal replay, unlocking
glocks will allow other nodes to use them, despite the fact that
the journal containing those blocks is being replayed. The
replay needs to finish before our glocks are released to other
nodes. IOW, secondary withdraws need to wait for the first
withdraw to finish.
For example, if an rgrp glock is unlocked by a process that didn't
wait for the first withdraw, a journal replay could introduce file
system corruption by replaying a rgrp block that has already been
granted to a different cluster node.

We need to allow some glocks to be enqueued, dequeued, promoted, and demoted
when we're withdrawn. For example, to maintain metadata integrity, we should
disallow the use of inode and rgrp glocks when withdrawn. Other glocks, like
iopen or the transaction glocks may be safely used because none of their
metadata goes through the journal. So in general, we should disallow all
glocks with an address space, and allow all the others. One exception is:
we need to allow our active journal to be demoted so others may recover it.
Allowing glocks after withdraw gives us the ability to take appropriate
action (in a following patch) to have our journal properly replayed by
another node rather than just abandoning the current transactions and
pretending nothing bad happened, leaving the other nodes free to modify
the blocks we had in our journal, which may result in file system
corruption.

When a node fails, user space informs dlm of the node failure,
and dlm instructs gfs2 on the surviving nodes to perform journal
recovery. It does this by calling various callback functions in
lock_dlm.c. To mark its progress, it keeps generation numbers
and recover bits in a dlm "control" lock lvb, which is seen by
all nodes to determine which journals need to be replayed.
The gfs2 on all nodes get the same recovery requests from dlm,
so they all try to do the recovery, but only one will be
granted the exclusive lock on the journal. The others fail
with a "Busy" message on their "try lock."
However, when a node is withdrawn, it cannot safely do any
recovery or replay any journals. To make matters worse,
gfs2 might withdraw as a result of attempting recovery. For
example, this might happen if the device goes offline, or if
an hba fails. But in today's gfs2 code, it doesn't check for
being withdrawn at any step in the recovery process. What's
worse is that these callbacks from dlm have no return code,
so there is no way to indicate failure back to dlm. We can
send a "Recovery failed" uevent eventually, but that tells
user space what happened, not dlm's kernel code.
Before this patch, lock_dlm would perform its recovery steps but
ignore the result, and eventually it would still update its
generation number in the lvb, despite the fact that it may have
withdrawn or encountered an error. The other nodes would then
see the newer generation number in the lvb and conclude that
they don't need to do recovery because the generation number
is newer than the last one they saw. They think a different
node has already recovered the journal.
This patch adds checks to several of the callbacks used by dlm
in its recovery state machine so that the functions are ignored
and skipped if an io error has occurred or if the file system
is withdrawn. That prevents the lvb bits from being updated, and
therefore dlm and user space still see the need for recovery to
take place.

Also, before this patch function gfs2_end_log_write did not set the

properly withdrawn if an io error is encountered writing to the journal.

Before this patch, gfs2 kept track of journal io errors in two
places sd_log_error and the SDF_AIL1_IO_ERROR flag in sd_flags.
This patch consolidates the two into sd_log_error so that it
reflects the first error encountered writing to the journal.
In future patches, we will take advantage of this by checking
this value rather than having to check both when reacting to
io errors.
In addition, this fixes a tight loop in unmount: If buffers
get on the ail1 list and an io error occurs elsewhere, the
ail1 list would never be cleared because they were always busy.
So unmount would hang, waiting for the ail1 list to empty.

Before this patch, the rgrp code had a serious problem related to
how it managed buffer_heads for resource groups. The problem caused
file system corruption, especially in cases of journal replay.
When an rgrp glock was demoted to transfer ownership to a
different cluster node, do_xmote() first calls rgrp_go_sync and then
rgrp_go_inval, as expected. When it calls rgrp_go_sync, that called
gfs2_rgrp_brelse() that dropped the buffer_head reference count.
In most cases, the reference count went to zero, which is right.
However, there were other places where the buffers are handled
differently.
After rgrp_go_sync, do_xmote called rgrp_go_inval which called
gfs2_rgrp_brelse a second time, then rgrp_go_inval's call to
truncate_inode_pages_range would get rid of the pages in memory,
but only if the reference count drops to 0.
Unfortunately, gfs2_rgrp_brelse was setting bi->bi_bh = NULL.
So when rgrp_go_sync called gfs2_rgrp_brelse, it lost the pointer
to the buffer_heads in cases where the reference count was still 1.
Therefore, when rgrp_go_inval called gfs2_rgrp_brelse a second time,
it failed the check for "if (bi->bi_bh)" and thus failed to call
brelse a second time. Because of that, the reference count on those
buffers sometimes failed to drop from 1 to 0. And that caused
function truncate_inode_pages_range to keep the pages in page cache
rather than freeing them.
The next time the rgrp glock was acquired, the metadata read of
the rgrp buffers re-used the pages in memory, which were now
wrong because they were likely modified by the other node who
acquired the glock in EX (which is why we demoted the glock).
This re-use of the page cache caused corruption because changes
made by the other nodes were never seen, so the bitmaps were
inaccurate.
For some reason, the problem became most apparent when journal
replay forced the replay of rgrps in memory, which caused newer
rgrp data to be overwritten by the older in-core pages.
A big part of the problem was that the rgrp buffer were released
in multiple places: The go_unlock function would release them when
the glock was released rather than when the glock is demoted,
which is clearly wrong because our intent was to cache them until
the glock is demoted from SH or EX.
This patch attempts to clean up the mess and make one consistent
and centralized mechanism for managing the rgrp buffer_heads by
implementing several changes:
1. It eliminates the call to gfs2_rgrp_brelse() from rgrp_go_sync.
We don't want to release the buffers or zero the pointers when
syncing for the reasons stated above. It only makes sense to
release them when the glock is actually invalidated (go_inval).
And when we do, then we set the bh pointers to NULL.
2. The go_unlock function (which was only used for rgrps) is
eliminated, as we've talked about doing many times before.
The go_unlock function was called too early in the glock dq
process, and should not happen until the glock is invalidated.
3. It also eliminates the call to rgrp_brelse in gfs2_clear_rgrpd.
That will now happen automatically when the rgrp glocks are
demoted, and shouldn't happen any sooner or later than that.
Instead, function gfs2_clear_rgrpd has been modified to demote
the rgrp glocks, and therefore, free those pages, before the
remaining glocks are culled by gfs2_gl_hash_clear. This
prevents the gl_object from hanging around when the glocks are
culled.

File system withdraws can be delayed when inconsistencies are
discovered when we cannot withdraw immediately, for example, when
critical spin_locks are held. But delaying the withdraw can cause
gfs2 to ignore the error and keep running for a short period of time.
For example, an rgrp glock may be dequeued and demoted while there
are still buffers that haven't been properly revoked, due to io
errors writing to the journal.
This patch introduces a new concept of a pending withdraw, which
means an inconsistency has been discovered and we need to withdraw
at the earliest possible opportunity. In these cases, we aren't
quite withdrawn yet, but we still need to not dequeue glocks and
other critical things. If we dequeue the glocks and the withdraw
results in our journal being replayed, the replay could overwrite
data that's been modified by a different node that acquired the
glock in the meantime.

The following snippets are sprinkled all over the place in kcov traces

will silently require stack trampolines while non-closure version will
not.
Without doubt this behaviour is documented somewhere, add a warning so
that developers and users can at least notice. After so many years of
x86_64 having proper executable stack support it should not cause too
many problems.

The variable inode may be NULL in reiserfs_insert_item(), but there is
no check before accessing the member of inode.
Fix this by adding NULL pointer check before calling reiserfs_debug().

This message leads to thinking that memory protection is not implemented
for the said architecture, whereas absence of CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
only means that memory protection has not been selected at compile time.
Don't print this message when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is
selected by the architecture. Instead, print "Kernel memory protection
not selected by kernel config."

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2.
unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as
either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the
function is broken for quoted command line arguments.
When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args
and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line has
param\0"value\0
with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function
repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was
removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results in
param=value\0\0
and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This
bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate
function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead
code.
This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where
the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param:
1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a
potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be
placed in init's environment.
2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is
an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the
comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param='
against the existing environment. So passing, for example,
TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both
TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment.
Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init
and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is
unnecessarily verbose.
Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in
do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now
and the repairing is no longer necessary.
Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of
param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param.
This patch (of 3):
Commit a99cd1125189 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be
passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption
by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function.
When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to
strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the
actual location of the value.
The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly
treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's
environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a
duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will
result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's
environment.
Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling
repair_env_string instead of relying on val.

Since commit 08746a65c296 ("init: fix in-place parameter modification
regression"), parse_args in do_initcall_level is called on a copy of
saved_command_line. It is unnecessary to call repair_env_string during
this parsing, as this copy is not used for anything later.
Remove the now unnecessary arguments from repair_env_string as well.

Unmapping whole address space at once with
munmap(0, (1ULL<<47) - 4096)
or equivalent will create empty coredump.
It is silly way to exit, however registers content may still be useful.
The right to coredump is fundamental right of a process!

execve(2). Compiler can't treat is as stable but it _is_ stable most of
the time. During ELF loading process ->mm becomes stable right after
flush_old_exec().
Help compiler by caching current->mm, otherwise it continues to refetch
it.

Filling auxv vector as array with index (auxv[i++] = ...) generates
terrible code. "saved_auxv" should be reworked because it is the worst
member of mm_struct by size/usefullness ratio but do it later.
Meanwhile help gcc a little with *auxv++ idiom.

_find_next_bit and _find_next_bit_le are very similar functions. It's
possible to join them by adding 1 parameter and a couple of simple
checks. It's simplify maintenance and make possible to shrink the size
of .text by un-inlining the unified function (in the following patch).

ext2_swab() is defined locally in lib/find_bit.c However it is not
specific to ext2, neither to bitmaps.
There are many potential users of it, so rename it to just swab() and
move to include/uapi/linux/swab.h
ABI guarantees that size of unsigned long corresponds to BITS_PER_LONG,
therefore drop unneeded cast.
