hm, I wonder what could have caused that - we haven't altered
fs/ext3/xattr.c in ages.

What is the most recent kernel version you know of which didn't do
this? Bear in mind that this crash might be triggered by the
current contents of the filesystem, so if possible, please test
some other kernel versions on that disk.

It looks like we died in ext3_xattr_block_get():

memcpy(buffer, bh->b_data + le16_to_cpu(entry->e_value_offs),
size);

Perhaps entry->e_value_offs is no good. I wonder if the filesystem is
corrupted and this snuck through the defenses.

I also wonder if there is enough info in that trace for a ppc person to
be able to determine whether the faulting address is in the source or
destination of the memcpy() (please)?

It appears to have faulted on a load, implicating the source. The
address being referenced (0xc00000003f380000) doesn't look
outlandish. I wonder if this kernel has CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned
on, and what page size is selected?

I am trying to boot a vanilla kernel on this machine for the first
time. Haven't tried any other kernels. Will give it a try.

Some more information if this could be of any help.

So the other thing i noticed was that this machine was running
a kernel with selinux enabled. I turned off selinux and there
were no issues during bootup. It was a clean boot.

Yes CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled and the page size is 64K.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y

Hmm, OK. But then I'm not sure how that can happen. Obviously, memcpy
somehow got beyond end of the page referenced by bh->b_data. So it means
that le16_to_cpu(entry->e_value_offs) + size > page_size. But
ext3_xattr_find_entry() calls ext3_xattr_check_entry() which in
particular checks whether e_value_offs + e_value_size isn't greater than
bh->b_size. So I see no way how memcpy can get beyond end of the page.
Sachin, is the problem reproducible? If yes, can you send us contents
of the page just before the faulting address (i.e., for current fault it
would be 0xc00000003f370000-0xc00000003f37ffff). As far as I can
remember powerpc monitor could dump it.
BTW, I suppose you use 4KB blocksize on the filesystem, right?

Yes, i am able to recreate this problem easily. As i had mentioned if the
earlier kernel is booted with selinux enabled and then 2.6.29-rc6 is booted
i get this crash. But if i specify selinux=0 at command line, 2.6.29-rc6 boots
without any problem.

OK. The xattr block causing oops is completely correct. To me it seems
more like some problem in powerpc memcpy() (I saw there went some changes
into in in the end of December) - we call it to copy 27 bytes from
address 0xc00000002d66ffe4 (which is one byte before end of the page).
Could some of the powerpc guys have a look whether this could be the case?
I'm not quite fluent in the powerpc assembly so it would take me ages ;).

Yes, this makes me even more suspitious that memcpy() on powerpc could
be at fault. The instruction (ld r9,8(r4)) is loading last 8 bytes to copy,
but in fact it should load only 3 bytes in our case because remaining 5
bytes are not in the range we specified and thus larger load can cause
page fault...

I'm seeing a similar thing on PS3, but not in ext3. During early userspace
setup (udevd), it crashes accessing a 0xc00* address in:

| NIP setup+0x20/0x130
| LR copy_user_page+0x18/0x6c
| Call trace:
| do_wp_page+0x5b4/0x89c
| do_page_fault+0x3a8/0x58c
| handle_page_fault+0x20/0x5c

I have CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y. If I disable it, the system boots fine.

If needed, I can probably bisect this tomorrow. It definitely didn't happen in
2.6.29-rc5.

You're right - it's a problem with the 64bit powerpc memcpy(). And the brown
paper bag is all mine (commit 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556). On
Power6 and Cell we're doing a load double that goes beyond the source size
we were given to copy. I'll see if I can find a nice way of fixing this up,
if not then I'll ask Ben to revert.

Sorry about the goose chase!

No need to bisect - it was 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556, my
commit that "optimised" 64bit memcpy() for Power6 and Cell.

The bug was in -rc1, but if your copies were 8-byte aligned with respect
to the source the problem wouldn't have been seen... Could this have
been why you didn't see it in -rc5?

I'll work on a fix now.

Thanks!

Hi Sanchin and Geert,

Does the patch below fix the problems you're seeing? If it does I'll send
a properly written up and formatted patch to linuxppc-dev (as well as
another one to fix the same problem in copy_tofrom_user()).

Thanks and sorry again!

Unfortunately not, now it crashes while accessing the memory pointed to by
GPR16, in

NIP: copy_page_range+x0608/0x628
LR: dup_mm+0x2e4/0x428
Trace: debug_table+0xcc70/0x1afe0 (unreliable)

copy_process+0x86c/0xf9c
do_fork+0x188/0x39c
sys_clone+0x58/0x70
ppc_clone+0x8/0xc

However, after reverting 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556, I still see
similar problems as above (crash in copy_page_range()).
Which makes me think that
1. Your new patch fixes the problem introduced by 25d6e2d7,
2. There's still another issue than the one introduced by 25d6e2d7.

Hmm... I just started seeing it on older kernels (-rc5+), too...

This patch fixes the issue at my side. I tried booting the system few times
and every single time it came up clean.

Does the following patch fix the errors you're seeing? (it applies the
same fix as the previous patch but this time to copy_tofrom_user, which
I updated in a4e22f02f5b6518c1484faea1f88d81802b9feac)

Thanks!

If you revert both 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556 and
a4e22f02f5b6518c1484faea1f88d81802b9feac, does it help? You could also
try to revert 57dda6ef5bd5b9e60410477ad29e654097e2cca1 just in case I
need to keep wearing the brown paper bag for a bit longer :)

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix 64bit memcpy() regression

This fixes a regression introduced by commit
25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy()
using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").

This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU
feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But,
along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes
beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught
by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,

The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather
than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that.

In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the
original do_tail for the src_unaligned case.

Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant:

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() regression

This fixes a regression introduced by commit
a4e22f02f5b6518c1484faea1f88d81802b9feac ("powerpc: Update 64bit
__copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").

The same bug that existed in the 64bit memcpy() also exists here so fix
it here too. The fix is the same as that applied to memcpy() with the
addition of fixes for the exception handling code required for
__copy_tofrom_user().

This stops us reading beyond the end of the source region we were told
to copy.

Still doesn't help.

However, I noticed I never enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC before 2.6.29-rc5.

I guess it never actually worked on PS3.
