  • So far we did not return BH_New buffers from ext2_get_blocks() when we
    allocated and zeroed-out a block for DAX inode to avoid racy zeroing in
    DAX code. This zeroing is gone these days so we can remove the
    workaround.

  • The recently added DAX functions that use the new struct iomap data
    structure were named iomap_dax_rw(), iomap_dax_fault() and
    iomap_dax_actor(). These are actually defined in fs/dax.c, though, so
    should be part of the "dax" namespace and not the "iomap" namespace.
    Rename them to dax_iomap_rw(), dax_iomap_fault() and dax_iomap_actor()
    respectively.

  • DAX PMD support was added via the following commit:

    commit e7b1ea2ad658 ("ext2: huge page fault support")

    I believe this path to be untested as ext2 doesn't reliably provide block
    allocations that are aligned to 2MiB. In my testing I've been unable to
    get ext2 to actually fault in a PMD. It always fails with a "pfn
    unaligned" message because the sector returned by ext2_get_block() isn't
    aligned.

    I've tried various settings for the "stride" and "stripe_width" extended
    options to mkfs.ext2, without any luck.

    Since we can't reliably get PMDs, remove support so that we don't have an
    untested code path that we may someday traverse when we happen to get an
    aligned block allocation. This should also make 4k DAX faults in ext2 a
    bit faster since they will no longer have to call the PMD fault handler
    only to get a response of VM_FAULT_FALLBACK.

  • On ARM, we get this false-positive warning since the rework of
    the ext2_get_blocks interface:

    fs/ext2/inode.c: In function 'ext2_get_block':
    include/linux/buffer_head.h:340:16: error: 'bno' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

    The calling conventions for this function are rather complex, and it's
    not surprising that the compiler gets this wrong, I spent a long time
    trying to understand how it all fits together myself.

    This change to avoid the warning makes sure the compiler sees that we
    always set 'bno' pointer whenever we have a positive return code.
    The transformation is correct because we always arrive at the 'got_it'
    label with a positive count that gets used as the return value, while
    any branch to the 'cleanup' label has a negative or zero 'err'.

  • Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
    "The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
    an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
    schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
    recovery of certain items was not required.

    The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
    reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
    alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.

    Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
    request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
    working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
    reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
    was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
    I'll be doing the same thing again....

    Summary for this update:

    - change of XFS mailing list to linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org

    - iomap-based DAX infrastructure w/ XFS and ext2 support

    - small iomap fixes and additions

    - more efficient XFS delayed allocation infrastructure based on iomap

    - a rework of log recovery writeback scheduling to ensure we don't
    fail recovery when trying to replay items that are already on disk

    - some preparation patches for upcoming reflink support

    - configurable error handling fixes and documentation

    - aio access time update race fixes for XFS and
    generic_file_read_iter"

  • CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
    be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
    separate patch.
    There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
    y2038 safe time interfaces.

    current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
    range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

    This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
    in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.

  • CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
    doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
    Use current_time() instead.

    CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

    This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
    vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
    y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
    extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
    file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
    current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
    y2038 safe.

    Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
    to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
    share the same time granularity.

  • When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in

  • Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault(). After this
    removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and
    dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers.

    The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to
    capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults
    (calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime
    and ctime).

    However, the following commits:

    5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults")
    ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching")

    added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common
    operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called.
    This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to
    be used in the future.

    XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and
    ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by:

  • This bug can be reproducible with fsfuzzer, although, I couldn't reproduce it
    100% of my tries, it is quite easily reproducible.

    During the deletion of an inode, ext2_xattr_delete_inode() does not check if the
    block pointed by EXT2_I(inode)->i_file_acl is a valid data block, this might
    lead to a deadlock, when i_file_acl == 1, and the filesystem block size is 1024.

    In that situation, ext2_xattr_delete_inode, will load the superblock's buffer
    head (instead of a valid i_file_acl block), and then lock that buffer head,
    which, ext2_sync_super will also try to lock, making the filesystem deadlock in
    the following stack trace:

    root 17180 0.0 0.0 113660 660 pts/0 D+ 07:08 0:00 rmdir

    Fix this by using the same approach ext4 uses to test data blocks validity,
    implementing ext2_data_block_valid.

    An another possibility when the superblock is very corrupted, is that i_file_acl
    is 1, block_count is 1 and first_data_block is 0. For such situations, we might
    have i_file_acl pointing to a 'valid' block, but still step over the superblock.
    The approach I used was to also test if the superblock is not in the range
    described by ext2_data_block_valid() arguments

  • Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
    "Followups to the parallel lookup work:

    - update docs

    - restore killability of the places that used to take ->i_mutex
    killably now that we have down_write_killable() merged

    - Additionally, it turns out that I missed a prerequisite for
    security_d_instantiate() stuff - ->getxattr() wasn't the only thing
    that could be called before dentry is attached to inode; with smack
    we needed the same treatment applied to ->setxattr() as well"

    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
    switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately
    switch xattr_handler->set() to passing dentry and inode separately
    restore killability of old mutex_lock_killable(&inode->i_mutex) users
    add down_write_killable_nested()
    update D/f/directory-locking

  • preparation for similar switch in ->setxattr() (see the next commit for
    rationale).

  • Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
    "DAX error handling for 4.7

    - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
    device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
    errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.

    - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
    are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

    Other misc changes:

    - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
    page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
    allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
    reads/writes would fail.

    - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
    related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

    * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
    dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page
    dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible
    dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper
    dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors
    dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks)
    dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error
    block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency
    xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount
    ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount
    ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount
    block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks
    block: Add vfs_msg() interface
    dax: Remove redundant inode size checks
    dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io()
    dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io()
    dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers
    ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data
    ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX
    dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument
    DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c

  • dax_clear_sectors() cannot handle poisoned blocks. These must be
    zeroed using the BIO interface instead. Convert ext2 and XFS to use
    only sb_issue_zerout().
