2008-10-13vfs: Use const for kernel parser tableSteven Whitehouse
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble. This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm since then.

When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data. Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance.

2008-10-10ext4: add an option to control error handling on file dataHidehiro Kawai
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount an ext4 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default. Here is the corresponding patch of the ext3 version: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/9/9/3239374 Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-10jbd2: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abortHidehiro Kawai
Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly. Because, if the journal gets aborted, journaled metadata are preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency of the filesystem. This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus, no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

2008-10-10ext4: add checks for errors from jbd2Hidehiro Kawai
If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we have to keep the contents of the journal space. Otherwise, the filesystem will lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and become inconsistent. To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery flag if checkpoint has failed. With this patch, ext4_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes ext4_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep needs_recovery flag. Errors from jbd2_journal_flush() are also handled by this patch in some places. Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-10jbd2: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD2 code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext4 layer so that ext4 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() and jbd2_journal_abort() (a possible race issue between jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()s called by jbd2_journal_flush() and __jbd2_log_wait_for_space()) Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-12jbd2: abort when failed to log metadata buffersHidehiro Kawai
If we failed to write metadata buffers to the journal space and succeeded to write the commit record, stale data can be written back to the filesystem as metadata in the recovery phase. To avoid this, when we failed to write out metadata buffers, abort the journal before writing the commit record. We can also avoid this kind of corruption by using the journal checksum feature because it can detect invalid metadata blocks in the journal and avoid them from being replayed. So we don't need to care about asynchronous commit record writeout with a checksum. Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-10-10Fix barrier fail detection in XFSChristoph Hellwig
Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared. But this can be the case not only for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a split log write in case of a log wraparound. Due to the disabled barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns. So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier writes. This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for every buffer. Thanks to Toei Rei for reporting the bug.

2008-10-09Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPENDLinus Torvalds
This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

2008-10-09block: cleanup some of the integrity stuff in blkdev.hJens Axboe
Don't put functions that are only used in fs/bio-integrity.c in blkdev.h, it's much cleaner to just keep it in there. Also kill completely unused bdev_get_tag_size() Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: add bio_kmalloc()Jens Axboe
Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time. So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09Call flush_disk() after detecting an online resize.Andrew Patterson
We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink because, as James Bottomley puts it, The two use cases for shrinking I can see are 1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only because they were relocated but not yet written to their original location). 2. unplanned: In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of difference; it's still going to try to read or write from sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors. Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.
