On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

The extent allocator has code that allows us to fill
allocations from any available block group, even if it doesn't
match the raid level we've requested.
This was put in because adding a new drive to a filesystem
made with the default mkfs options actually upgrades the metadata from
single spindle dup to full RAID1.
But, the code also allows us to allocate from a raid0 chunk when we
really want a raid1 or raid10 chunk. This can cause big trouble because
mkfs creates a small (4MB) raid0 chunk for data and metadata which then
goes unused for raid1/raid10 installs.
The allocator will happily wander in and allocate from that chunk when
things get tight, which is not correct.
The fix here is to make sure that we provide duplication when the
caller has asked for it. It does all the dups to be any raid level,
which preserves the dup->raid1 upgrade abilities.

When we mount in RAID degraded mode without adding a new device to
replace the failed one, we can end up using the wrong RAID flags for
allocations.
This results in strange combinations of block groups (raid1 in a raid10
filesystem) and corruptions when we try to allocate blocks from single
spindle chunks on drives that are actually missing.
The first device has two small 4MB chunks in it that mkfs creates and
these are usually unused in a raid1 or raid10 setup. But, in -o degraded,
the allocator will fall back to these because the mask of desired raid groups
isn't correct.
The fix here is to count the missing devices as we build up the list
of devices in the system. This count is used when picking the
raid level to make sure we continue using the same levels that were
in place before we lost a drive.

If we just get a plain IO error when we read tree roots, the code
wasn't properly sending that error up the chain. This allowed mounts to
continue when they should failed, and allowed operations
on partially setup root structs. The end result was usually oopsen

This problem is found in meego testing:
http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6672
A file in btrfs is mmaped and the mmaped buffer is passed to pwrite to write to the same page
of the same file. In btrfs_file_aio_write(), the pages is locked by prepare_pages(). So when
btrfs_copy_from_user() is called, page fault happens and the same page needs to be locked again
in filemap_fault(). The fix is to move iov_iter_fault_in_readable() before prepage_pages() to make page
fault happen before pages are locked. And also disable page fault in critical region in
btrfs_copy_from_user().

After a few unsuccessful NFS mount attempts in which the client and
server cannot agree on an authentication flavor both support, the
client panics. nfs_umount() is invoked in the kernel in this case.
Turns out nfs_umount()'s UMNT RPC invocation causes the RPC client to
write off the end of the rpc_clnt's iostat array. This is because the
mount client's nrprocs field is initialized with the count of defined
procedures (two: MNT and UMNT), rather than the size of the client's
proc array (four).
The fix is to use the same initialization technique used by most other
upper layer clients in the kernel.
Introduced by commit 0b524123, which failed to update nrprocs when
support was added for UMNT in the kernel.

Now that we don't mark VFS inodes dirty anymore for internal
timestamp changes, but rely on the transaction subsystem to push
them out, we need to explicitly log the source inode in rename after
updating it's timestamps to make sure the changes actually get
forced out by sync/fsync or an AIL push.
We already account for the fourth inode in the log reservation, as a
rename of directories needs to update the nlink field, so just
adding the xfs_trans_log_inode call is enough.
This fixes the xfsqa 065 regression introduced by:
"xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modifications"

Currently if the space cache inode generation number doesn't match the
generation number in the space cache header we will just fail to load the space
cache, but we won't mark the space cache as an error, so we'll keep getting that
error each time somebody tries to cache that block group until we actually clear
the thing. Fix this by marking the space cache as having an error so we only
get the message once. This patch also makes it so that we don't try and setup
space cache for a block group that isn't cached, since we won't be able to write
it out anyway. None of these problems are actual problems, they are just
annoying and sub-optimal. Thanks,

If vfs_getattr in fill_post_wcc returns an error, we don't
set fh_post_change.
For NFSv4, this can result in set_change_info triggering a BUG_ON.
i.e. fh_post_saved being zero isn't really a bug.
So:
- instead of BUGging when fh_post_saved is zero, just clear ->atomic.
- if vfs_getattr fails in fill_post_wcc, take a copy of i_ctime anyway.
This will be used i seg_change_info, but not overly trusted.
- While we are there, remove the pointless 'if' statements in set_change_info.
There is no harm setting all the values.

When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
pagecache page.
However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
possibly still in use.
Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
the request is being freed.
Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using
the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags .

With the recent changes to remove the BKL a mutex was added to the
ioctl entry point for calls to the old ioctl interface. This mutex
needs to be removed because of the need for the expire ioctl to call
back to the daemon to perform a umount and receive a completion
status (via another ioctl).
This should be fine as the new ioctl interface uses much of the same
code and it has been used without a mutex for around a year without
issue, as was the original intention.

reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take
the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call journal_begin()
that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release
it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on

So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().

Currently, the attribute cache timeout for CIFS is hardcoded to 1 second. This
means that the client might have to issue a QPATHINFO/QFILEINFO call every 1
second to verify if something has changes, which seems too expensive. On the
other hand, if the timeout is hardcoded to a higher value, workloads that
expect strict cache coherency might see unexpected results.
Making attribute cache timeout as a tunable will allow us to make a tradeoff
between performance and cache metadata correctness depending on the
application/workload needs.
Add 'actimeo' tunable that can be used to tune the attribute cache timeout.
The default timeout is set to 1 second. Also, display actimeo option value in
/proc/mounts.
It appears to me that 'actimeo' and the proposed (but not yet merged)
'strictcache' option cannot coexist, so care must be taken that we reset the
other option if one of them is set.
Changes since last post:

We need to ensure that the entries in the nfs_cache_array get cleared
when the page is removed from the page cache. To do so, we use the
freepage address_space operation.
Change nfs_readdir_clear_array to use kmap_atomic(), so that the
function can be safely called from all contexts.
Finally, modify the cache_page_release helper to call
nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous
page from 'uncached_readdir'.
