Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can
ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum
transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum
transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with
the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle().Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle().
This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction
size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits.
There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in
the journal.This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the
limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with
1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed
by 2c869b262a10ca99cb866d04087d75311587a30c, but not entirely.Thanks Jan Kara for helping me getting the correct fix.

Commit 6f6a6fda2945 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal
superblock fails" changed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to return EIO
when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that
jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make
a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy()
just loops in an infinite loop.Fix jbd2_journal_destroy() to cleanup journal checkpoint lists of
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.Reported-by: Eryu Guan

When an error condition is detected, an error status should be recorded into
superblocks of EXT4 or JBD2. However, the write request is submitted now
without REQ_FUA flag, even in "barrier=1" mode, which is followed by
panic() function in "errors=panic" mode. On mobile devices which make
whole system reset as soon as kernel panic occurs, this write request
containing an error flag will disappear just from storage cache without
written to the physical cells. Therefore, when next start, even forever,
the error flag cannot be shown in both superblocks, and e2fsck cannot fix
the filesystem problems automatically, unless e2fsck is executed in
force checking mode.[ Changed use test_opt(sb, BARRIER) of checking the journal flags -- TYT ]

For ordered and writeback data modes, all data IOs go through
ext4_io_submit. This patch adds cgroup writeback support by invoking
wbc_init_bio() from io_submit_init_bio() and wbc_account_io() in
io_submit_add_bh(). Journal data which is written by jbd2 worker is
left alone by this patch and will always be written out from the root
cgroup.ext4_fill_super() is updated to set MS_CGROUPWB when data mode is
either ordered or writeback. In journaled data mode, most IOs become
synchronous through the journal and enabling cgroup writeback support
doesn't make much sense or difference. Journaled data mode is left
alone.Lightly tested with sequential data write workload. Behaves as
expected.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

ext4_io_submit_init() takes the pointer to writeback_control to test
its sync_mode and determine between WRITE and WRITE_SYNC and records
the result in ->io_op. This patch makes it record the pointer
directly and moves the test to ext4_io_submit().This doesn't cause any noticeable differences now but having
writeback_control available throughout IO submission path will be
depended upon by the planned cgroup writeback support.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

An encrypted file name should never be shorter than an 16 bytes, the
AES block size. The 3.10 crypto layer will oops and crash the kernel
if ciphertext shorter than the block size is passed to it.Fortunately, in modern kernels the crypto layer will not crash the
kernel in this scenario, but nevertheless, it represents a corrupted
directory, and we should detect it and mark the file system as
corrupted so that e2fsck can fix this.Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

Start a jbd2 transaction, and mark the inode dirty on the inode under

It is often the case that we mark buffer as having dirty metadata when
the buffer is already in that state (frequent for bitmaps, inode table
blocks, superblock). Thus it is unnecessary to contend on grabbing
journal head reference and bh_state lock. Avoid that by checking whether
any modification to the buffer is needed before grabbing any locks or
references.[ Note: this is a fixed version of commit 2143c1965a761, which was

correct as-is.There may be some other minimal fix (like just checking crtc_state for

Normally opening a file, unlinking it and then closing will have
the inode freed upon close() (provided that it's not otherwise busy and
has no remaining links, of course). However, there's one case where that
does *not* happen. Namely, if you open it by fhandle with cold dcache,
then unlink() and close().In normal case you get d_delete() in unlink(2) notice that dentry
is busy and unhash it; on the final dput() it will be forcibly evicted from
dcache, triggering iput() and inode removal. In this case, though, we end
up with *two* dentries - disconnected (created by open-by-fhandle) and
regular one (used by unlink()). The latter will have its reference to inode
dropped just fine, but the former will not - it's considered hashed (it
is on the ->s_anon list), so it will stay around until the memory pressure
will finally do it in. As the result, we have the final iput() delayed
indefinitely. It's trivial to reproduce -void flush_dcache(void)
{
system("mount -o remount,rw /");
}static char buf[20 * 1024 * 1024];
main()
{
int fd;
union {
struct file_handle f;
char buf[MAX_HANDLE_SZ];
} x;
int m;x.f.handle_bytes = sizeof(x);
chdir("/root");
mkdir("foo", 0700);
fd = open("foo/bar", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0600);
close(fd);
name_to_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, "foo/bar", &x.f, &m, 0);
flush_dcache();
fd = open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &x.f, O_RDWR);
unlink("foo/bar");
write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
system("df ."); /* 20Mb eaten */
close(fd);
system("df ."); /* should've freed those 20Mb */
flush_dcache();
system("df ."); /* should be the same as #2 */
}will spit out something like
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 322023 303843 1131 100% /

commit 66fc13039422ba7df2d01a8ee0873e4ef965b50b ("mm: shmem_zero_setup
skip security check and lockdep conflict with XFS") caused a regression
for SELinux by disabling any SELinux checking of mprotect PROT_EXEC on
shared anonymous mappings. However, even before that regression, the
checking on such mprotect PROT_EXEC calls was inconsistent with the
checking on a mmap PROT_EXEC call for a shared anonymous mapping. On a
mmap, the security hook is passed a NULL file and knows it is dealing
with an anonymous mapping and therefore applies an execmem check and no
file checks. On a mprotect, the security hook is passed a vma with a
non-NULL vm_file (as this was set from the internally-created shmem
file during mmap) and therefore applies the file-based execute check
and no execmem check. Since the aforementioned commit now marks the
shmem zero inode with the S_PRIVATE flag, the file checks are disabled
and we have no checking at all on mprotect PROT_EXEC. Add a test to
the mprotect hook logic for such private inodes, and apply an execmem
check in that case. This makes the mmap and mprotect checking
consistent for shared anonymous mappings, as well as for /dev/zero and
ashmem.Cc: # 4.1.x

[] SyS_madvise+0x404/0x8c0Note that the pte value is 0 except for the accessed bit 0x100. This bit
shouldn't be set without the present bit.It should be noted that the madvise system call is probably a trigger for many
of the random segmentation faults.In looking at the kernel code, I found the following problems:
1) The pte_clear define didn't take TLB lock when clearing a pte.
2) We didn't test pte present bit inside lock in exception support.
3) The pte and tlb locks needed to merged in order to ensure consistency
between page table and TLB. This also has the effect of serializing TLB
broadcasts on SMP systems.The attached change implements the above and a few other tweaks to try
to improve performance. Based on the timing code, TLB purges are very
slow (e.g., ~ 209 cycles per page on rp3440). Thus, I think it
beneficial to test the split_tlb variable to avoid duplicate purges.
Probably, all PA 2.0 machines have combined TLBs.I dropped using __flush_tlb_range in flush_tlb_mm as I realized all
applications and most threads have a stack size that is too large to
make this useful. I added some comments to this effect.Since implementing 1 through 3, I haven't had any random segmentation
faults on mx3210 (rp3440) in about one week of building code and running
as a Debian buildd.Signed-off-by: John David Anglin

This patch adds hardware assisted scrolling. The code is based upon the
following investigation: https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/NGLE#BlitterA simple 'time ls -la /usr/bin' test shows 1.6x speed increase over soft
copy and 2.3x increase over FBINFO_READS_FAST (prefer soft copy over
screen redraw) on Artist framebuffer.Signed-off-by: Alex Ivanov

Add support in the NFIT BLK I/O path for the "latch" flag
defined in the "Get Block NVDIMM Flags" _DSM function:http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This flag requires the driver to read back the command register after it
is written in the block I/O path. This ensures that the hardware has
fully processed the new command and moved the aperture appropriately.Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler
