[43/53] xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writes

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

If removed storage while synchronous buffer write underway,
"xfslogd" hangs.

Detailed log http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2011-07/msg00740.html

Related work bfc60177f8ab509bc225becbb58f7e53a0e33e81
"xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writes"

Given that xfs_bwrite actually does the shutdown already after
waiting for the b_iodone completion and given that we actually
found that calling xfs_force_shutdown from inside
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks was a major contributor the problem
it better to drop this call.

[44/53] xfs: fix xfs_mark_inode_dirty during umount

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

commit 866e4ed77448a0c311e1b055eb72ea05423fd799 upstream.

During umount we do not add a dirty inode to the lru and wait for it to
become clean first, but force writeback of data and metadata with
I_WILL_FREE set.  Currently there is no way for XFS to detect that the
inode has been redirtied for metadata operations, as we skip the
mark_inode_dirty call during teardown.  Fix this by setting i_update_core
nanually in that case, so that the inode gets flushed during inode reclaim.

Alternatively we could enable calling mark_inode_dirty for inodes in
I_WILL_FREE state, and let the VFS dirty tracking handle this.  I decided
against this as we will get better I/O patterns from reclaim compared to
the synchronous writeout in write_inode_now, and always marking the inode
dirty in some way from xfs_mark_inode_dirty is a better safetly net in
either case.

[45/53] xfs: dont serialise direct IO reads on page cache

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

commit 0c38a2512df272b14ef4238b476a2e4f70da1479 upstream.

There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive
mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these
locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO
lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop
the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it
prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO reads to the same inode.

Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state,
and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is
work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive
locking will occur.

[46/53] xfs: avoid direct I/O write vs buffered I/O race

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

commit c58cb165bd44de8aaee9755a144136ae743be116 upstream.

Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache
while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write.  Prevent
this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if
nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode.  To simplify this a bit
only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.

[47/53] xfs: Return -EIO when xfs_vn_getattr() failed

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com>

commit ed32201e65e15f3e6955cb84cbb544b08f81e5a5 upstream.

An attribute of inode can be fetched via xfs_vn_getattr() in XFS.
Currently it returns EIO, not negative value, when it failed.  As a
result, the system call returns not negative value even though an
error occured. The stat(2), ls and mv commands cannot handle this
error and do not work correctly.

This patch fixes this bug, and returns -EIO, not EIO when an error
is detected in xfs_vn_getattr().

[48/53] xfs: fix buffer flushing during unmount

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

commit 87c7bec7fc3377b3873eb3a0f4b603981ea16ebb upstream.

The code to flush buffers in the umount code is a bit iffy: we first
flush all delwri buffers out, but then might be able to queue up a
new one when logging the sb counts.  On a normal shutdown that one
would get flushed out when doing the synchronous superblock write in
xfs_unmountfs_writesb, but we skip that one if the filesystem has
been shut down.

Fix this by moving the delwri list flushing until just before unmounting
the log, and while we're at it also remove the superflous delwri list
and buffer lru flusing for the rt and log device that can never have
cached or delwri buffers.

[49/53] xfs: Fix possible memory corruption in xfs_readlink

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com>

commit b52a360b2aa1c59ba9970fb0f52bbb093fcc7a24 upstream.

Fixes a possible memory corruption when the link is larger than
MAXPATHLEN and XFS_DEBUG is not enabled. This also remove the
S_ISLNK assert, since the inode mode is checked previously in
xfs_readlink_by_handle() and via VFS.

Updated to address concerns raised by Ben Hutchings about the loose
attention paid to 32- vs 64-bit values, and the lack of handling a
potentially negative pathlen value:
 - Changed type of "pathlen" to be xfs_fsize_t, to match that of
   ip->i_d.di_size
 - Added checking for a negative pathlen to the too-long pathlen
   test, and generalized the message that gets reported in that case
   to reflect the change
As a result, if a negative pathlen were encountered, this function
would return EFSCORRUPTED (and would fail an assertion for a debug
build)--just as would a too-long pathlen.

[50/53] xfs: use doalloc flag in xfs_qm_dqattach_one()

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com>

commit db3e74b582915d66e10b0c73a62763418f54c340 upstream

The doalloc arg in xfs_qm_dqattach_one() is a flag that indicates
whether a new area to handle quota information will be allocated
if needed. Originally, it was passed to xfs_qm_dqget(), but has
been removed by the following commit (probably by mistake):

	commit 8e9b6e7fa4544ea8a0e030c8987b918509c8ff47
	Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
	Date:   Sun Feb 8 21:51:42 2009 +0100

	xfs: remove the unused XFS_QMOPT_DQLOCK flag

As the result, xfs_qm_dqget() called from xfs_qm_dqattach_one()
never allocates the new area even if it is needed.

This patch gives the doalloc arg to xfs_qm_dqget() in
xfs_qm_dqattach_one() to fix this problem.

[51/53] xfs: fix ->write_inode return values

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

patch 58d84c4ee0389ddeb86238d5d8359a982c9f7a5b upstream.

Currently we always redirty an inode that was attempted to be written out
synchronously but has been cleaned by an AIL pushed internall, which is
rather bogus.  Fix that by doing the i_update_core check early on and
return 0 for it.  Also include async calls for it, as doing any work for
those is just as pointless.  While we're at it also fix the sign for the
EIO return in case of a filesystem shutdown, and fix the completely
non-sensical locking around xfs_log_inode.
