GFS2: Pre-pull patch posting (fixes)

[Steven Whitehouse]

Hi,

Here is a set of small fixes for GFS2. There is a fix to drop
s_umount which is copied in from the core vfs, two patches
relate to a hard to hit "use after free" and memory leak.
Two patches related to using DIO and buffered I/O on the same
file to ensure correct operation in relation to glock state
changes. The final patch adds an RCU read lock to ensure
correct locking on an error path,

Steve.

[PATCH 1/6] GFS2: don't hold s_umount over blkdev_put

[Steven Whitehouse]

This is a GFS2 version of Tejun's patch:
4f331f01b9c43bf001d3ffee578a97a1e0633eac
vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call

In this case its blkdev_put itself that is the issue and this
patch uses the same solution of dropping and retaking s_umount.

[PATCH 2/6] GFS2: Fix use-after-free race when calling gfs2_remove_from_ail

[Steven Whitehouse]

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

Function gfs2_remove_from_ail drops the reference on the bh via
brelse. This patch fixes a race condition whereby bh is deferenced
after the brelse when setting bd->bd_blkno = bh->b_blocknr;
Under certain rare circumstances, bh might be gone or reused,
and bd->bd_blkno is set to whatever that memory happens to be,
which is often 0. Later, in gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke, that bd fails
the test "bd->bd_blkno >= blkno" which causes it to never be freed.
The end result is that the bd is never freed from the bufdata cache,
which results in this error:
slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `gfs2_bufdata': Can't free all objects

[PATCH 3/6] GFS2: Fix slab memory leak in gfs2_bufdata

[Steven Whitehouse]

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

This patch fixes a slab memory leak that sometimes can occur
for files with a very short lifespan. The problem occurs when
a dinode is deleted before it has gotten to the journal properly.
In the leak scenario, the bd object is pinned for journal
committment (queued to the metadata buffers queue: sd_log_le_buf)
but is subsequently unpinned and dequeued before it finds its way
to the ail or the revoke queue. In this rare circumstance, the bd
object needs to be freed from slab memory, or it is forgotten.
We have to be very careful how we do it, though, because
multiple processes can call gfs2_remove_from_journal. In order to
avoid double-frees, only the process that does the unpinning is
allowed to free the bd.

[PATCH 4/6] GFS2: Fix incorrect invalidation for DIO/buffered I/O

[Steven Whitehouse]

In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.

The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.

[PATCH 5/6] GFS2: Wait for async DIO in glock state changes

[Steven Whitehouse]

We need to wait for any outstanding DIO to complete in a couple
of situations. Firstly, in case we are changing out of deferred
mode (in inode_go_sync) where GLF_DIRTY will not be set. That
call could be prefixed with a test for gl_state == LM_ST_DEFERRED
but it doesn't seem worth it bearing in mind that the test for
outstanding DIO is very quick anyway, in the usual case that there
is none.

The second case is in inode_go_lock which will catch the cases
where we have a cached EX lock, but where we grant deferred locks
against it so that there is no glock state transistion. We only
need to wait if the state is not deferred, since DIO is valid
anyway in that state.
