      ext4: support GETFSMAP ioctls · 0c9ec4be
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      
      
      Support the GETFSMAP ioctls so that we can use the xfs free space
      management tools to probe ext4 as well.  Note that this is a partial
      implementation -- we only report fixed-location metadata and free space;
      everything else is reported as "unknown".

      ext4: evict inline data when writing to memory map · 7b4cc978
      Eric Biggers authored
      
      
      Currently the case of writing via mmap to a file with inline data is not
      handled.  This is maybe a rare case since it requires a writable memory
      map of a very small file, but it is trivial to trigger with on
      inline_data filesystem, and it causes the
      'BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA));' in
      ext4_writepages() to be hit:
      
          mkfs.ext4 -O inline_data /dev/vdb

      We could try to be smart and keep the inline data in this case, or at
      least support delayed allocation when allocating the block, but these
      solutions would be more complicated and don't seem worthwhile given how
      rare this case seems to be.  So just fix the bug by calling
      ext4_convert_inline_data() when we're asked to make a page writable, so
      that any inline data gets evicted, with the block allocated immediately.

      ext4: remove ext4_xattr_check_entry() · 6ba644b9
      Eric Biggers authored
      
      
      ext4_xattr_check_entry() was redundant with validation of the full xattr
      entries list in ext4_xattr_check_entries(), which all callers also did.
      ext4_xattr_check_entry() also didn't actually do correct validation;
      specifically, it never checked that the value doesn't overlap the xattr
      names, nor did it account for padding when checking whether the xattr
      value overflows the available space.  So remove it to eliminate any
      potential confusion.

      In the initial implementation of ext4 encryption, the filename was

      access to the 'dir' inode.  Since then ext4 filename encryption has been

      jbd2: fix dbench4 performance regression for 'nobarrier' mounts · 5052b069
      Jan Kara authored
      Commit b685d3d6 "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
      synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_FUA implementation. Since
      JBD2 strips REQ_FUA and REQ_FLUSH flags from submitted IO when the
      filesystem is mounted with nobarrier mount option, journal superblock
      writes ended up being async writes after this patch and that caused
      heavy performance regression for dbench4 benchmark with high number of
      processes. In my test setup with HP RAID array with non-volatile write
      cache and 32 GB ram, dbench4 runs with 8 processes regressed by ~25%.
      
      Fix the problem by making sure journal superblock writes are always
      treated as synchronous since they generally block progress of the
      journalling machinery and thus the whole filesystem.

      jbd2: Fix lockdep splat with generic/270 test · c52c47e4
      Jan Kara authored
      I've hit a lockdep splat with generic/270 test complaining that:
      
      3216.fsstress.b/3533 is trying to acquire lock:
       (jbd2_handle){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff813152e0>] jbd2_log_wait_commit+0x0/0x150
      
      but task is already holding lock:
       (jbd2_handle){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff8130bd3b>] start_this_handle+0x35b/0x850
      
      The underlying problem is that jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested()
      (called from ext4_should_retry_alloc()) may get called while a
      transaction handle is started. In such case it takes care to not wait
      for commit of the running transaction (which would deadlock) but only
      for a commit of a transaction that is already committing (which is safe
      as that doesn't wait for any filesystem locks).
      
      In fact there are also other callers of jbd2_log_wait_commit() that take
      care to pass tid of a transaction that is already committing and for
      those cases, the lockdep instrumentation is too restrictive and leading
      to false positive reports. Fix the problem by calling
      jbd2_might_wait_for_commit() from jbd2_log_wait_commit() only if the
      transaction isn't already committing.

      mm: retry writepages() on ENOMEM when doing an data integrity writeback · 80a2ea9f
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      
      
      Currently, file system's writepages() function must not fail with an
      ENOMEM, since if they do, it's possible for buffered data to be lost.
      This is because on a data integrity writeback writepages() gets called
      but once, and if it returns ENOMEM, if you're lucky the error will get
      reflected back to the userspace process calling fsync().  If you
      aren't lucky, the user is unmounting the file system, and the dirty
      pages will simply be lost.
      
      For this reason, file system code generally will use GFP_NOFS, and in
      some cases, will retry the allocation in a loop, on the theory that
      "kernel livelocks are temporary; data loss is forever".
      Unfortunately, this can indeed cause livelocks, since inside the
      writepages() call, the file system is holding various mutexes, and
      these mutexes may prevent the OOM killer from killing its targetted
      victim if it is also holding on to those mutexes.
      
      A better solution would be to allow writepages() to call the memory
      allocator with flags that give greater latitude to the allocator to
      fail, and then release its locks and return ENOMEM, and in the case of
      background writeback, the writes can be retried at a later time.  In
      the case of data-integrity writeback retry after waiting a brief
      amount of time.

           hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag. Another important
           fix in there is for resizing hardware queues, which nbd does when

      Pull pin control fix from Linus Walleij:
       "This late fix for pin control is hopefully the last I send this cycle.
      
        The problem was detected early in the v4.11 release cycle and there
        has been some back and forth on how to solve it. Sadly the proper fix
        arrives late, but at least not too late.
      
        An issue was detected with pin control on the Freescale i.MX after the
        refactorings for more general group and function handling.
      
        We now have the proper fix for this"

      Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
       "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.11:
      
        Headed to stable:
      
         - disable HFSCR[TM] if TM is not supported, fixes a potential host
           kernel crash triggered by a hostile guest, but only in
           configurations that no one uses
      
         - don't try to fix up misaligned load-with-reservation instructions
      
         - fix flush_(d|i)cache_range() called from modules on little endian
           kernels
      
         - add missing global TLB invalidate if cxl is active
      
         - fix missing preempt_disable() in crc32c-vpmsum
      
        And a fix for selftests build changes that went in this release:
      
         - selftests/powerpc: Fix standalone powerpc build
      
        Thanks to: Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Frederic Barrat, Oliver O'Halloran,

      In the case that compat_get_bitmap fails we do not want to copy the
      bitmap to the user as it will contain uninitialized stack data and leak
      sensitive data.

      sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec · 425fffd8
      Liping Zhang authored
      Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
      value will be truncated:
      
        # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
      
      This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
      when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.
      
      Fixes: e7d316a0
