* ext3: Replace lock/unlock_super() with an explicit lock for resizingEric Sandeen2009-12-232-17/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a separate lock to protect s_groups_count and the other block group descriptors which get changed via an on-line resize operation, so we can stop overloading the use of lock_super().

* ext3: ext3_mark_recovery_complete() doesn't need to use lock_superEric Sandeen2009-12-231-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ext3_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in ext3_remount(). Port of ext4 commit a63c9eb2ce6f5028da90f282798232c4f398ceb8 by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.

* sanitize xattr handler prototypesChristoph Hellwig2009-12-165-96/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch. Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later, e.g. cifs.

* ext3: Fix data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy dataJan Kara2009-12-101-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ext3_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we have to truncate pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data corruption.

The symptom is corrupted orphan lists and inodes with the wrong i_size stored on disk. I was convinced the data=guarded code was just missing a call to ext3_mark_inode_dirty, but tracing showed the i_disksize I was sending to ext3_mark_inode_dirty wasn't actually making it to the drive. ext3_mark_inode_dirty can be called without locks held (atime updates and a few others), so the data=guarded code uses locks while updating the in-memory inode, and then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty without any locks held. But, ext3_mark_inode_dirty has no internal locking to make sure that only one CPU is updating the buffer head at a time. Generally this works out ok because everyone that changes the inode then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty themselves. Even though it races, eventually someone updates the buffer heads and things move on. But there is still a risk of the wrong values getting in, and the data=guarded code seems to hit the race very often. Since everyone that changes the inode also logs it, it should be possible to fix this with some memory barriers. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader and lock the buffer head instead. It it probably a good idea to have a different patch series for lockless bit flipping on the ext3 i_state field. ext3_do_update_inode &= clears EXT3_STATE_NEW without any locks held.

* | ext3: Fix possible deadlock between ext3_truncate() and ext3_get_blocks()Jan Kara2009-09-161-4/+15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding truncate_mutex and that violates lock ordering because truncate_mutex ranks below transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext3_get_blocks() allocating new blocks from ext3_writepage()). Luckily, the problem is easy to fix: We just drop the truncate_mutex before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. We are safe to do this as by the time ext3_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped and so writepage() cannot come and allocate new blocks in the part of the file we are truncating. The rest of writers is stopped by us holding i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

* ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not ↵Jan Kara2009-08-241-13/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | possible This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit bbae8bcc49bc4d002221dab52c79a50a82e7cd1f if they configure a kernel to default to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

But symlinks don't have .truncate method defined so nobody properly removes them from the orphan list (both on disk and in memory). Fix this by calling ext3_truncate() directly instead of calling vmtruncate() (which is saner anyway since we don't need anything vmtruncate() does except from calling .truncate in these paths). We also add inode to orphan list only if ext3_can_truncate() is true (currently, it can be false for symlinks when there are no blocks allocated) - otherwise orphan list processing will complain and ext3_truncate() will not remove inode from on-disk orphan list.

* ext3: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL pathLinus Torvalds2009-06-171-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does this for every single pathname component that it looks up. That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in question. ext3 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel Netburst aka 'P4'). For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as well use it. So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly. This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much better than P4).

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries, header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file. [ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit. A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement in lmbench) due to broken caching. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* Push lock_super() into the ->remount_fs() of filesystems that care about itAl Viro2009-06-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super (due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that touch lock_super() on their own. Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

* push BKL down into ->put_superChristoph Hellwig2009-06-111-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs, hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually. Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area. [AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super() now] [AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
