2012-05-30Btrfs: do not do balance in readonly modeLiu Bo
In normal cases, we would not be allowed to do balance in RO mode. However, when we're using a seeding device and adding another device to sprout, things will change: $ mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb7 $ btrfstune -S 1 /dev/sdb7 $ mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt/btrfs -o ro $ btrfs fi bal /mnt/btrfs -----------------------> fail. $ btrfs dev add /dev/sdb8 /mnt/btrfs $ btrfs fi bal /mnt/btrfs -----------------------> works! It should not be designed as an exception, and we'd better add another check for mnt flags. Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <liubo2009@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

2012-05-30Btrfs: finish ordered extents in their own threadJosef Bacik
We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes quite a bit faster. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-05-30Btrfs: do not check delalloc when updating disk_i_sizeJosef Bacik
We are checking delalloc to see if it is ok to update the i_size. There are 2 cases it stops us from updating 1) If there is delalloc between our current disk_i_size and this ordered extent 2) If there is delalloc between our current ordered extent and the next ordered extent These tests are racy however since we can set delalloc for these ranges at any time. Also for the first case if we notice there is delalloc between disk_i_size and our ordered extent we will not update disk_i_size and assume that when that delalloc bit gets written out it will update everything properly. However if we crash before that we will have file extents outside of our i_size, which is not good, so this test is dangerous as well as racy. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
2012-05-30Btrfs: avoid buffer overrun in mount option handlingJim Meyering
There is an off-by-one error: allocating room for a maximal result string but without room for a trailing NUL. That, can lead to returning a transformed string that is not NUL-terminated, and then to a caller reading beyond end of the malloc'd buffer.

2012-05-30Btrfs: remove useless waiting and extra filemap workJosef Bacik
In btrfs_wait_ordered_range we have been calling filemap_fdata_write() twice because compression does strange things and then waiting. Then we look up ordered extents and if we find any we will always schedule_timeout(); once and then loop back around and do it all again. We will even check to see if there is delalloc pages on this range and loop again. So this patch gets rid of the multipe fdata_write() calls and just does filemap_write_and_wait(). In the case of compression we will still find the ordered extents and start those individually if we need to so that is ok, but in the normal buffered case we avoid all this weird overhead. Then in the case of the schedule_timeout(1), we don't need it. All callers either 1) don't care, they just want to make sure what they just wrote maeks it to disk or 2) are doing the lock()->lookup ordered->unlock->flush thing in which case it will lock and check for ordered extents _anyway_ so get back to them as quickly as possible. The delaloc check is simply not needed, this only catches the case where we write to the file again since doing the filemap_write_and_wait() and if the caller truly cares about that it will take care of everything itself.

When running compilebench I noticed we were spending some time looking up acls on new inodes, which shouldn't be happening since there were no acls. This is because when we init acls on the inode after creating them we don't cache the fact there are no acls if there aren't any. Doing this adds a little bit of a bump to my compilebench runs.

Before this patch we called find_all_leafs for a data extent, then called find_all_roots and then looked into the extent to grab the information we were seeking. This was done without holding the leaves locked to avoid deadlocks. However, this can obviouly race with concurrent tree modifications.

2012-05-26Btrfs: bugfix: ignore the wrong key for indirect tree block backrefsJan Schmidt
The key we store with a tree block backref is only a hint. It is set when the ref is created and can remain correct for a long time. As the tree is rebalanced, however, eventually the key no longer points to the correct destination. With this patch, we change find_parent_nodes to no longer add keys unless it knows for sure they're correct (e.g. because they're for an extent data backref). Then when we later encounter a backref ref with no parent and no key set, we grab the block and take the first key from the block itself. Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt <list.btrfs@jan-o-sch.net>

Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val). The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850e806 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

2012-05-18x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs toolH. Peter Anvin
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace.

2012-05-18proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()Linus Torvalds
Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time, move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state (notably uid/gid information) is updated too. Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point.

2012-05-18tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS supportChris Metcalf
Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.
