  • 6b520e056   vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors ... Browse Code »

    Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
    it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
    the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
    and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
    boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

  • 3d4a1c80c   Squashfs: fix i_blocks calculation with extended regular files ... Browse Code »

    The le64_to_cpu() forces the calculation to be unsigned, with
    the effect that it can underflow leading to an incorrect large
    value.

    This bug only triggers in rare(ish) circumstances, an empty file
    encoded as an extended regular file or a completely sparse file.
    Normally empty files are encoded as a regular file rather than as
    an extended regular file (and the regular file i_blocks calculation
    doesn't have this bug). To save space regular file inodes are
    optimised to encode the most commonly occurring files. Less
    common regular files are encoded using extended regular file inodes
    which contain extra information.

    Empty files with nlinks greater than 1, and or empty files
    with extended attributes are encoded using extended regular file
    inodes and they will hit this bug.

  • cc37f75a9   Squashfs: fix mount time sanity check for corrupted superblock ... Browse Code »

    A Squashfs filesystem containing nothing but an empty directory,
    although unusual and ultimately pointless, is still valid.

    The directory_table >= next_table sanity check rejects these
    filesystems as invalid because the directory_table is empty and
    equal to next_table.

  • 7657cacf4   Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4K ... Browse Code »

    This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K.

    By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K
    or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger).
    This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs,
    should reduce latency.

    This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
    the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
    smaller block sizes).

    Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
    performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
    accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

  • 395cf9691   doc: fix broken references ... Browse Code »

    There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
    Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
    caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
    Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

  • cc6d34971   Squashfs: Make ZLIB compression support optional ... Browse Code »

    Squashfs now supports XZ and LZO compression in addition to ZLIB.
    As such it no longer makes sense to always include ZLIB support.
    In particular embedded systems may only use LZO or XZ compression, and
    the ability to exclude ZLIB support will reduce kernel size.

  • 44cff8a9e   Squashfs: handle corruption of directory structure ... Browse Code »

    Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and
    corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy).
    Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with
    then, however, this will not happen if:

    - metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata
    compression), or
    - the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which
    case the uncompressed version was used, or
    - the data was corrupt after decompression

    This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum
    values.

  • 3689456b4   squashfs: fix use of uninitialised variable in zlib & xz decompressors ... Browse Code »

    Fix potential use of uninitialised variable caused by recent
    decompressor code optimisations.

    In zlib_uncompress (zlib_wrapper.c) we have

    int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0;
    ...
    do {
    ...
    if (avail == 0) {
    offset = 0;
    put_bh(bh[k++]);
    continue;
    }
    ...
    zlib_err = zlib_inflate(stream, Z_SYNC_FLUSH);
    ...
    } while (zlib_err == Z_OK);

    If continue is executed (avail == 0) then the while condition will be
    evaluated testing zlib_err, which is uninitialised first time around the
    loop.

    Fix this by getting rid of the 'if (avail == 0)' condition test, this
    edge condition should not be being handled in the decompressor code, and
    instead handle it generically in the caller code.

    Similarly for xz_wrapper.c.

    Incidentally, on most architectures (bar Mips and Parisc), no
    uninitialised variable warning is generated by gcc, this is because the
    while condition test on continue is optimised out and not performed
    (when executing continue zlib_err has not been changed since entering
    the loop, and logically if the while condition was true previously, then
    it's still true).
