Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 01/18] ext4: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent

From: Duane Griffin <[email protected]>

At present INDEX and EXTENTS are the only flags that new ext4 inodes do
NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY,
ECOMPR, IMAGIC, TOPDIR, HUGE_FILE and EXT_MIGRATE from being inherited.
List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from
accidentally being inherited.

This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 02/18] ext4: tighten restrictions on inode flags

From: Duane Griffin <[email protected]>

At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 13/18] ext4: Fix softlockup caused by illegal i_file_acl value in on-disk inode

If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored
in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk
filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes
will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that
"__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system
is forcibly rebooted.

So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal,
and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 18/18] ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extent

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.

This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 03/18] ext4: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode

From: Bryan Donlan <[email protected]>

ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted
such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to
a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion
on the part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making
a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting
to ls -l said link.

This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives
-ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata
corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when
this case is detected.

Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature
bit is set. The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck
didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of
"be liberal in what you accept", don't look at i_file_acl_high unless
we are using a 64-bit filesystem.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 09/18] ext4: Add auto_da_alloc mount option

Add a mount option which allows the user to disable automatic
allocation of blocks whose allocation by delayed allocation when the
file was originally truncated or when the file is renamed over an
existing file. This feature is intended to save users from the
effects of naive application writers, but it reduces the effectiveness
of the delayed allocation code. This mount option disables this
safety feature, which may be desirable for prodcutions systems where
the risk of unclean shutdowns or unexpected system crashes is low.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 08/18] ext4: Fix discard of inode prealloc space with delayed allocation.

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <[email protected]>

With delayed allocation we should not/cannot discard inode prealloc
space during file close. We would still have dirty pages for which we
haven't allocated blocks yet. With this fix after each get_blocks
request we check whether we have zero reserved blocks and if yes and
we don't have any writers on the file we discard inode prealloc space.

Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 17/18] ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initialized

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <[email protected]>

The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.

When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).

We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new
during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the page cache content
properly for a partial write. This will cause file corruption with
preallocation.

Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid
buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata() unmaps the
correct block.

Since some applications open files with open(..., O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC)
to avoid re-using existing files (and avoiding the need to check if the
file already exists to modify the flags), it would make sense to set
EXT4_STATE_DA_ALLOC_CLOSE only if the file previously had some data in it.

By the time we get to ext4_truncate() i_size is overwritten already, but
it might make sense to also check i_disksize != 0 before setting this flag.
Otherwise delayed allocation may be inadvertently disabled for these apps
when it should not be.

I was just thinking it might make sense to wrap this check into a helper
like the following. We check the validity of blocks in at least half a
dozen different places. The elaborate ext4_blocktype is to allow for
future expansion of this checking mechanism to allow it to check for
blocks overlapping with e.g. the inode table and such, and possibly for
using with the jbd2 buffer checksum mechanism at some later date.

enum ext4_blocktype {
EXT4_BT_SUPERBLOCK = 1,
EXT4_BT_GDT = 2,
EXT4_BT_INODE_BITMAP = 3,
EXT4_BT_BLOCK_BITMAP = 4,
EXT4_BT_INODE_TABLE = 5,
EXT4_BT_DIRECTORY_ROOT = 10,
EXT4_BT_DIRECTORY_LEAF = 11,
EXT4_BT_DIRECTORY_HTREE = 12,
EXT4_BT_INDIRECT = 21,
EXT4_BT_DINDIRECT = 22,
EXT4_BT_TINDIRECT = 23,
EXT4_BT_EXTENT_INDEX = 25,
EXT4_BT_EXTENT_LEAF = 26,
EXT4_BT_DATA_BLOCK = 30,
EXT4_BT_ACL_BLOCK = 31,
};

bool ext4_block_valid(ext4_blk_t block, enum blocktype)
{
if (block < le32_to_cpu(EXT4_SB(sb)->s_es->s_first_data_block) +
EXT4_SB(sb)->s_gdb_count)) ||
block >= ext4_blocks_count(EXT4_SB(sb)->s_es)
return 0;

return 1;
}

Should we do the same with other "_hi" fields in the inode? There are
many cases like this for EXT4_DESC_SIZE(sb) >= EXT4_MIN_DESC_SIZE_64BIT
in super.c. Does e2fsck check and zero those already?

We do have a helper function that is waiting to be merged in the patch
queue. See the patch "add-check-block-validity-to-ext4_get_blocks_wrap".

It doesn't have the blocktype extension, since to keep things fast and
simple, I have a single red-black tree for any blocks that shouldn't
be used for file blocks allows for a *much* more compact
representation in the red-black tree, thanks to flex_bg putting the
block and inode bitmaps and inode tables back-to-back with each other.
If I were to add blocktype information to the red-black tree that
ext4_data_block_valid() could check against, the red-black tree would
at least triple in size.

The nice thing about this patch (which will be merged for 2.6.31) is
that it's a runtime mount option. So if we have a customer that runs
into problems, we don't have to ship them a custom debugging kernel;
we just tell them to mount the filesystem with block_validity, and we
can start debugging the problem right away.

Agreed; I'll make such a change for the ext4 patch queue. We can
propagate such a patch to the -stable kernels once it's in mainline.

(cherry picked from commit 8fa43a81b97853fc69417bb6054182e78f95cbeb)

At present INDEX and EXTENTS are the only flags that new ext4 inodes do
NOT inherit from their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY,
ECOMPR, IMAGIC, TOPDIR, HUGE_FILE and EXT_MIGRATE from being inherited.
List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent future flags from
accidentally being inherited.

This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9866.

From: Bryan Donlan <[email protected]>

(cherry picked from commit e6f009b0b45220c004672d41a58865e94946104d)

ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted
such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to
a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion
on the part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making
a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting
to ls -l said link.

This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives
-ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata
corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when
this case is detected.

From: Duane Griffin <[email protected]>

(cherry picked from commit 2dc6b0d48ca0599837df21b14bb8393d0804af57)

At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.
