      jbd: Fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction credits · 09e05d48
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      ext3 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally
      hitting assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the
      transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached.  The
      core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need
      checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with
      buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a
      page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these
      buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go
      awry from here.
      
      The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would
      start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly
      cleaned up as well.
      
      Under some rare circumstances this bug could even hit data=ordered mode users.
      There the assertion won't trigger and we would end up corrupting the
      filesystem.
      
      We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just
      need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be
      written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait
      for transaction commit to finish.

      UDF: Add support for O_DIRECT · 5eec54fc
      Ian Abbott authored
      
      
      Add support for the O_DIRECT flag.  There are two cases to deal with:
      
      1. Small files stored in the ICB (inode control block?): just return 0
      from the new udf_adinicb_direct_IO() handler to fall back to buffered
      I/O.
      
      2. Larger files, not stored in the ICB: nothing special here.  Just call
      blockdev_direct_IO() from our new udf_direct_IO() handler and tidy up
      any blocks instantiated outside i_size on error.  This is pretty
      standard.  Factor error handling code out of udf_write_begin() into new
      function udf_write_failed() so it can also be called by udf_direct_IO().
      
      Also change the whitespace in udf_aops to make it a bit neater.

      udf: Fix data corruption for files in ICB · 9c2fc0de
      Jan Kara authored
      When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and
      the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting
      file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use
      simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not
      written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4
      
       (udf: convert to
      new aops).
      
      Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page
      properly uptodate.

      ext3: don't clear orphan list on ro mount with errors · e4230108
      Eric Sandeen authored
      
      
      When we have a filesystem with an orphan inode list *and* in error
      state, things behave differently if:
      
      1) e2fsck -p is done prior to mount: e2fsck fixes things and exits
         happily (barring other significant problems)
      
      vs.
      
      2) mount is done first, then e2fsck -p: due to the orphan inode
         list removal, more errors are found and e2fsck exits with
         UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY.
      
      The 2nd case above, on the root filesystem, has the tendency to halt
      the boot process, which is unfortunate.
      
      The situation can be improved by not clearing the orphan
      inode list when the fs is mounted readonly.

      ext3: Fix fdatasync() for files with only i_size changes · 156bddd8
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
      to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
      situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
      and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.
      
      Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is
      updated.

      	the problem by asking for underlaying block device the number
      	of pages to send with each BIO.
      
       - "logfs: maintain the ordering of meta-inode destruction"
      
      	LogFS maintains file system meta-data in special inodes. These
      	inodes are releated to each other, therefore they must be
      	destroyed in a proper order.
      
       - "logfs: initialize the number of iovecs in bio"
      
      	LogFS used to panic when it was created on an encrypted LVM
      	volume. The patch fixes the problem by properly initializing
      	the BIO.
      
      Plus a couple more:
