commit ccd3c4373eacb044eb3832966299d13d2631f66f upstream.
The code cleaning transaction's lists of checkpoint buffers has a bug
where it increases bh refcount only after releasing
journal->j_list_lock. Thus the following race is possible:CPU0 CPU1
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
__journal_try_to_free_buffer(bh)
...
while (transaction->t_checkpoint_io_list)
...
if (buffer_locked(bh)) {spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock);
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh);
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
try_to_free_buffers(page);

commit e09463f220ca9a1a1ecfda84fcda658f99a1f12a upstream.
Do not set the b_modified flag in block's journal head should not
until after we're sure that jbd2_journal_dirty_metadat() will not
abort with an error due to there not being enough space reserved in
the jbd2 handle.Otherwise, future attempts to modify the buffer may lead a large
number of spurious errors and warnings.This addresses CVE-2018-10883.

commit b2569260d55228b617bd82aba6d0db2faeeb4116 upstream.
If ext4 tries to start a reserved handle via
jbd2_journal_start_reserved(), and the journal has been aborted, this
can result in a NULL pointer dereference. This is because the fields
h_journal and h_transaction in the handle structure share the same
memory, via a union, so jbd2_journal_start_reserved() will clear
h_journal before calling start_this_handle(). If this function fails
due to an aborted handle, h_journal will still be NULL, and the call
to jbd2_journal_free_reserved() will pass a NULL journal to
sub_reserve_credits().This can be reproduced by running "kvm-xfstests -c dioread_nolock
generic/475".Cc: stable@kernel.org # 3.11

commit fb7c02445c497943e7296cd3deee04422b63acb8 upstream.
Previously the jbd2 layer assumed that a file system check would be
required after a journal abort. In the case of the deliberate file
system shutdown, this should not be necessary. Allow the jbd2 layer
to distinguish between these two cases by using the ESHUTDOWN errno.Also add proper locking to __journal_abort_soft().

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:https://lwn.net/Articles/718734/

When a transaction starts, start_this_handle() saves current
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS value so that it can be restored at journal stop time.
Journal restart is a special case that calls start_this_handle() without
stopping the transaction. start_this_handle() isn't aware that the
original value is already stored so it overwrites it with current value.For instance, a call sequence like below leaves PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag set
at the end:jbd2_journal_start()
jbd2__journal_restart()
jbd2_journal_stop()Make jbd2__journal_restart() restore the original value before calling
start_this_handle().Fixes: 81378da64de6 ("jbd2: mark the transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context")

now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole

Commit b685d3d65ac7 "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_FUA implementation. Since
JBD2 strips REQ_FUA and REQ_FLUSH flags from submitted IO when the
filesystem is mounted with nobarrier mount option, journal superblock
writes ended up being async writes after this patch and that caused
heavy performance regression for dbench4 benchmark with high number of
processes. In my test setup with HP RAID array with non-volatile write
cache and 32 GB ram, dbench4 runs with 8 processes regressed by ~25%.Fix the problem by making sure journal superblock writes are always
treated as synchronous since they generally block progress of the
journalling machinery and thus the whole filesystem.Fixes: b685d3d65ac791406e0dfd8779cc9b3707fea5a3

I've hit a lockdep splat with generic/270 test complaining that:
3216.fsstress.b/3533 is trying to acquire lock:
(jbd2_handle){++++..}, at: [] jbd2_log_wait_commit+0x0/0x150but task is already holding lock:
(jbd2_handle){++++..}, at: [] start_this_handle+0x35b/0x850The underlying problem is that jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested()
(called from ext4_should_retry_alloc()) may get called while a
transaction handle is started. In such case it takes care to not wait
for commit of the running transaction (which would deadlock) but only
for a commit of a transaction that is already committing (which is safe
as that doesn't wait for any filesystem locks).In fact there are also other callers of jbd2_log_wait_commit() that take
care to pass tid of a transaction that is already committing and for
those cases, the lockdep instrumentation is too restrictive and leading
to false positive reports. Fix the problem by calling
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() from jbd2_log_wait_commit() only if the
transaction isn't already committing.Fixes: 1eaa566d368b214d99cbb973647c1b0b8102a9ae

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the
case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

When an ext4 fs is bogged down by a lot of metadata IOs (in the
reported case, it was deletion of millions of files, but any massive
amount of journal writes would do), after the journal is filled up,
tasks which try to access the filesystem and aren't currently
performing the journal writes end up waiting in
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex.Because those mutex sleeps aren't marked as iowait, this condition can
lead to misleadingly low iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked. While
iowait propagation is far from strict, this condition can be triggered
fairly easily and annotating these sleeps correctly helps initial
diagnosis quite a bit.Use the new mutex_lock_io() for journal->j_checkpoint_mutex so that
these sleeps are properly marked as iowait.Reported-by: Mingbo Wan

"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.
- Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.
- Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.
- A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name

directly. Where applicable this also drops usage of the

The mapping_set_error() helper sets the correct AS_ flag for the mapping
so there is no reason to open code it. Use the helper directly.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: be honest about conversion from -ENXIO to -EIO]

Thomas has reported a lockdep splat hitting in
add_transaction_credits(). The problem is that that function calls
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() while holding j_state_lock which is wrong
(we do not really wait for transaction commit while holding that lock).Fix the problem by moving jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() into places where
we are ready to wait for transaction commit and thus j_state_lock is
unlocked.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

There are some repetitive code in jbd2_journal_init_dev() and
jbd2_journal_init_inode(). So this patch moves the common code into
journal_init_common() helper to simplify the code. And fix the coding
style warnings reported by checkpatch.pl by the way.Signed-off-by: Geliang Tang

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"The major change this cycle is deleting ext4's copy of the file system
encryption code and switching things over to using the copies in
fs/crypto. I've updated the MAINTAINERS file to add an entry for
fs/crypto listing Jaeguk Kim and myself as the maintainers.There are also a number of bug fixes, most notably for some problems
found by American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) courtesy of Vegard Nossum. Also
fixed is a writeback deadlock detected by generic/130, and some
potential races in the metadata checksum code"* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (21 commits)

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
- the big change is the cleanup from Mike Christie, cleaning up our
uses of command types and modified flags. This is what will throw
some merge conflicts- regression fix for the above for btrfs, from Vincent

The jbd2 journal stores the commit time in 64-bit seconds and 32-bit
nanoseconds, which avoids an overflow in 2038, but it gets the numbers
from current_kernel_time(), which uses 'long' seconds on 32-bit
architectures.This simply changes the code to call current_kernel_time64() so
we use 64-bit seconds consistently.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

So far we were tracking only dependency on transaction commit due to
starting a new handle (which may require commit to start a new
transaction). Now add tracking also for other cases where we wait for
transaction commit. This way lockdep can catch deadlocks e. g. because we
call jbd2_journal_stop() for a synchronous handle with some locks held
which rank below transaction start.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Currently lockdep map is tracked in each journal handle. To be able to
expand lockdep support to cover also other cases where we depend on
transaction commit and where handle is not available, move lockdep map
into struct journal_s. Since this makes the lockdep map shared for all
handles, we have to use rwsem_acquire_read() for acquisitions now.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
