2005-08-08[PATCH] fsnotify_name/inoderemoveJohn McCutchan
The patch below unhooks fsnotify from vfs_unlink & vfs_rmdir. It introduces two new fsnotify calls, that are hooked in at the dcache level. This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes. The two functions are - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away. It notifies the PARENT of the deletion. This is called from d_delete(). - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away. It notifies the inode that is being deleted. This is called from dentry_iput().

2005-08-07[PATCH] namespace.c: fix bind mount from foreign namespaceMiklos Szeredi
I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix. Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application available from: http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount. The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in clone_mnt(). Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail. The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in clone_mnt(). clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or copy_tree(). copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or copy_namespace(). When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt). So setting mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do. When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for all copied mounts. Jamie said: This patch is correct. The old code was buggy for more fundamental and serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).

2005-08-01[PATCH] inotify: fix race between the kernel and user spaceJohn McCutchan
When you rm a watch, an IN_IGNORED event is sent down the event queue with the watch descriptor that you just rm'd. If you then add a watch you could get the ignored watch's wd and if you haven't read the entire event queue, user space will think that it's newly created watch was just ignored. To avoid this problem we just use idr_get_new_above instead of idr_get_new.

2005-07-27[PATCH] stale POSIX lock handlingPeter Staubach
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which the attached patch should address. The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly. SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the process which closed the file descriptor, should be released. The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress are handled when the last reference to the open file is released. There are three cases to consider. One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is being released. The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor. The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done, will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor. The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist until both processes have released their references to the open file. This lock could block other lock requests. The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as there was a reference to the open file. This is too long. The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic specification. This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

2005-07-27[PATCH] reiserfs: fix deadlock in inode creation failure path w/ default ACLJeff Mahoney
reiserfs_new_inode() can call iput() with the xattr lock held. This will cause a deadlock to occur when reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is called to clean up. The following patch releases the lock and reacquires it after the iput. This is safe because interaction with xattrs is complete, and the relock is just to balance out the release in the caller. The locking needs some reworking to be more sane, but that's more intrusive and I was just looking to fix this bug.

2005-07-15JFS: fsync wrong behavior when I/O failure occursQu Fuping
This is half of a patch that Qu Fuping submitted in April. The first part was applied to fs/mpage.c in 2.6.12-rc4. jfs_fsync should return error, but it doesn't wait for the metadata page to be uptodate, e.g.: jfs_fsync->jfs_commit_inode->txCommit->diWrite->read_metapage-> __get_metapage->read_cache_page reads a page from disk. Because read is async, when read_cache_page: err = filler(data, page), filler will not return error, it just submits I/O request and returns. So, page is not uptodate. Checking only if(IS_ERROR(mp->page)) is not enough, we should add "|| !PageUptodate(mp->page)" Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
