2006-12-07[PATCH] ext3 balloc: fix _with_rsv freezeHugh Dickins1-1/+1
Port fix to the off-by-one in find_next_usable_block's memscan from ext2 to ext3; but it didn't cause a serious problem for ext3 because the additional ext3_test_allocatable check rescued it from the error.

2006-12-07[PATCH] handle ext3 directory corruption betterEric Sandeen2-0/+12
I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions. At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst, things spin out of control. As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext3 where things spin out of control :) First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of ext3_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on what is done for other directory types in ext3_readdir... (adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas). Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way. Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes, stop trying, and break out of the loop. With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext3.

2006-10-11[PATCH] ext3: errors behaviour fixDmitry Mishin1-0/+2
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully correspond to the documentation and should be fixed. According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3 different on-errors behaviours: ---- start of quote man 8 mount ---- errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8). ---- end of quote ---- However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect handle of errors on ext3. Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy as well: - EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same); - parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set; - if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options. Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2: - none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount options; - any of them may be set using mount options; - 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock and other value in mount options; - and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount. Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in mount options. This patch: EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be taken from the superblock as default value for error behaviour.

2006-10-01[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlinkDave Hansen1-7/+7
When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem. We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

2006-09-27[PATCH] ext3: wrong error behaviorVasily Averin1-5/+6
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch: 2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels. This patch fixes this: - do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE, - set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases - panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Acked-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: "Stephen C.

2006-09-27[PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16TEric Sandeen1-15/+19
I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that off the kernel list) This patch fixes these issues in the kernel: o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super() sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) / EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb); at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0. Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount. Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this way should work & avoid the overflow: (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1 o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass through, it is checking the error case [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps back around to 0. so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=. Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1; (a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind use ext2 at 16T?

It ends up returning -EIO. Here is the patch to fix it. If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1 (we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block. But I really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here. (doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped). ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped. It returns 0 in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

2006-08-27[PATCH] ext3 filesystem bogus ENOSPC with reservation fixMingming Cao1-3/+3
To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no block reservation. Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for the initial goal block group in this case. The patch fixes this.

2006-08-01[PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handleNeil Brown2-8/+20
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

2006-07-04[PATCH] lockdep: annotate the quota codeArjan van de Ven1-1/+1
The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan: | i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other | quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota | locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and | setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code | while holding i_mutex on a quota file... The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the (per filesystem) low level quota write function. For this special case we need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex. I trust Jan on his blue eyes that this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules. The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems. This makes the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels: I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

2006-06-25[PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixesMingming Cao6-141/+158
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based). While trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning). So it seem saner to define two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is group-relative blocks. The following patches clarify these two types of blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3 filesystem limit to 8TB. With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB. This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for ext3 filesystem block corresponding. Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have been reviewed and discussed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2 Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and >8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39). Tests includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress. This patch: Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for filesystem wide blocks. This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before. Also include kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables. There are some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code. This patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned long) type.
