Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're
mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached().
On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly
ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation
defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically
atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly
ordered memory types.
Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This
corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other
architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by
default we have:
#define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached
The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore
is because Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

pstore compression/decompression was added during 3.12.
The ramoops driver prepends a "====timestamp.timestamp-C|D\n"
header to the compressed record before handing it over to pstore
driver which doesn't know about the header. In pstore_decompress(),
the pstore driver reads the first "==" as a zlib header, so the
decompression always fails. For example, this causes the driver
to write /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0.enc.z instead of
/dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0.
This patch makes the ramoops driver remove the header before
pstore decompression.

Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading
to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that
extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device,
these reads now return EIO.
The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal
block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks,
prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

The man page for open(2) indicates that when O_CREAT is specified, the
'mode' argument applies only to future accesses to the file:
Note that this mode applies only to future accesses of the newly
created file; the open() call that creates a read-only file
may well return a read/write file descriptor.
The man page for open(2) implies that 'mode' is treated identically by
O_CREAT and O_TMPFILE.
O_TMPFILE, however, behaves differently:
int fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, 0);
assert(fd == -1);
assert(errno == EACCES);
int fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR, 0600);
assert(fd > 0);
For O_CREAT, do_last() sets acc_mode to MAY_OPEN only:
if (*opened & FILE_CREATED) {
/* Don't check for write permission, don't truncate */
open_flag &= ~O_TRUNC;
will_truncate = false;
acc_mode = MAY_OPEN;
path_to_nameidata(path, nd);
goto finish_open_created;
}
But for O_TMPFILE, do_tmpfile() passes the full op->acc_mode to
may_open().
This patch lines up the behavior of O_TMPFILE with O_CREAT. After the
inode is created, may_open() is called with acc_mode = MAY_OPEN, in
do_tmpfile().
A different, but related glibc bug revealed the discrepancy:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17523
The glibc lazily loads the 'mode' argument of open() and openat() using
va_arg() only if O_CREAT is present in 'flags' (to support both the 2
argument and the 3 argument forms of open; same idea for openat()).
However, the glibc ignores the 'mode' argument if O_TMPFILE is in
'flags'.
On x86_64, for open(), it magically works anyway, as 'mode' is in
RDX when entering open(), and is still in RDX on SYSCALL, which is where
the kernel looks for the 3rd argument of a syscall.
But openat() is not quite so lucky: 'mode' is in RCX when entering the
glibc wrapper for openat(), while the kernel looks for the 4th argument
of a syscall in R10. Indeed, the syscall calling convention differs from
the regular calling convention in this respect on x86_64. So the kernel
sees mode = 0 when trying to use glibc openat() with O_TMPFILE, and
fails with EACCES.

During file system stress testing on 3.10 and 3.12 based kernels, the
umount command occasionally hung in fsnotify_unmount_inodes in the
section of code:
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE|I_NEW)) {
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
continue;
}
As this section of code holds the global inode_sb_list_lock, eventually
the system hangs trying to acquire the lock.
Multiple crash dumps showed:
The inode->i_state == 0x60 and i_count == 0 and i_sb_list would point
back at itself. As this is not the value of list upon entry to the
function, the kernel never exits the loop.
To help narrow down problem, the call to list_del_init in
inode_sb_list_del was changed to list_del. This poisons the pointers in
the i_sb_list and causes a kernel to panic if it transverse a freed
inode.
Subsequent stress testing paniced in fsnotify_unmount_inodes at the
bottom of the list_for_each_entry_safe loop showing next_i had become
free.
We believe the root cause of the problem is that next_i is being freed
during the window of time that the list_for_each_entry_safe loop
temporarily releases inode_sb_list_lock to call fsnotify and
fsnotify_inode_delete.
The code in fsnotify_unmount_inodes attempts to prevent the freeing of
inode and next_i by calling __iget. However, the code doesn't do the
__iget call on next_i
if i_count == 0 or
if i_state & (I_FREEING | I_WILL_FREE)
The patch addresses this issue by advancing next_i in the above two cases
until we either find a next_i which we can __iget or we reach the end of
the list. This makes the handling of next_i more closely match the
handling of the variable "inode."
The time to reproduce the hang is highly variable (from hours to days.) We
ran the stress test on a 3.10 kernel with the proposed patch for a week
without failure.
During list_for_each_entry_safe, next_i is becoming free causing
the loop to never terminate. Advance next_i in those cases where
__iget is not done.

We have a race that can lead us to miss skinny extent items in the function
btrfs_lookup_extent_info() when the skinny metadata feature is enabled.
So basically the sequence of steps is:
1) We search in the extent tree for the skinny extent, which returns > 0
(not found);
2) We check the previous item in the returned leaf for a non-skinny extent,
and we don't find it;
3) Because we didn't find the non-skinny extent in step 2), we release our
path to search the extent tree again, but this time for a non-skinny
extent key;
4) Right after we released our path in step 3), a skinny extent was inserted
in the extent tree (delayed refs were run) - our second extent tree search
will miss it, because it's not looking for a skinny extent;
5) After the second search returned (with ret > 0), we look for any delayed
ref for our extent's bytenr (and we do it while holding a read lock on the
leaf), but we won't find any, as such delayed ref had just run and completed
after we released out path in step 3) before doing the second search.
Fix this by removing completely the path release and re-search logic. This is
safe, because if we seach for a metadata item and we don't find it, we have the
guarantee that the returned leaf is the one where the item would be inserted,
and so path->slots[0] > 0 and path->slots[0] - 1 must be the slot where the
non-skinny extent item is if it exists. The only case where path->slots[0] is
zero is when there are no smaller keys in the tree (i.e. no left siblings for
our leaf), in which case the re-search logic isn't needed as well.
This race has been present since the introduction of skinny metadata (change
3173a18f70).

we shouldn't process it.

d_splice_alias() callers expect it to either stash the inode reference
into a new alias, or drop the inode reference. That makes it possible
to just return d_splice_alias() result from ->lookup() instance, without
any extra housekeeping required.
Unfortunately, that should include the failure exits. If d_splice_alias()
returns an error, it leaves the dentry it has been given negative and
thus it *must* drop the inode reference. Easily fixed, but it goes way

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems. Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.
Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.
To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack. Initially the limit is set to 2.

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.
This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.
The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.
The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.
Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.
Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).
Usage:
mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay

- fix up permission to confirm to new API
Robin Dong <hao.bigrat@gmail.com>
- fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode
- create new inode in ovl_link
Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
- switch to __inode_permission()
- copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode
AV:
- ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits
- ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
right).
- bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
- copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
- ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
- ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
- fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
- manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.
[patches picked from Miklos]:
* copyup/remove and copyup/rename races
* bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename

Add whiteout support to ext4_rename(). A whiteout inode (chrdev/0,0) is
created before the rename takes place. The whiteout inode is added to the
old entry instead of deleting it.

This adds a new RENAME_WHITEOUT flag. This flag makes rename() create a
whiteout of source. The whiteout creation is atomic relative to the
rename.

Whiteout isn't actually a new file type, but is represented as a char
device (Linus's idea) with 0/0 device number.
This has several advantages compared to introducing a new whiteout file
type:
- no userspace API changes (e.g. trivial to make backups of upper layer
filesystem, without losing whiteouts)
- no fs image format changes (you can boot an old kernel/fsck without
whiteout support and things won't break)
- implementation is trivial

It's already duplicated in btrfs and about to be used in overlayfs too.
Move the sticky bit check to an inline helper and call the out-of-line
helper only in the unlikly case of the sticky bit being set.
