| * UBI: wl: Rename cancel flag to shutdownRichard Weinberger2014-09-262-15/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It confused me more than once that the cancel flag of the work function does not indicate the cancellation of a single work. In fact it indicates the WL sub-system shutdown and therefore worker functions have to free their wl_entries too. That's why you cannot cancel a single work, you can only shutdown all works.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The while loop in produce_free_peb() assumes that each work will produce a free PEB. This is not true. If ubi->works_count is 1 and the only scheduled work is the wear_leveling_worker() produce_free_peb() can loop forever in case nobody schedules an erase work.

| * UBI: Dispatch update notification if the volume is updatedEzequiel Garcia2014-09-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl is used to start an update and also to truncate a volume. In the first case, a "volume updated" notification is dispatched when the update is done. This commit adds the "volume updated" notification to be also sent when the volume is truncated. This is required for UBI block and gluebi to get notified about the new volume size.

However, this is not the amount of data in the volume, but the number of reserved physical eraseblocks, and hence leads to an incorrect representation of the volume. In particular, this produces I/O errors on static volumes as the block interface may attempt to read unmapped PEBs: $ cat /dev/ubiblock0_0 > /dev/null UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_0 ubi_read error -22 end_request: I/O error, dev ubiblock0_0, sector 9536 Buffer I/O error on device ubiblock0_0, logical block 2384 [snip] Fix this by using the ubi_volume_info.used_bytes field which is set to the actual number of data bytes for both static and dynamic volumes. While here, improve the error message to be less stupid and more useful: UBI error: ubiblock_read_to_buf: ubiblock0_1 ubi_read error -9 on LEB=0, off=15872, len=512 It's worth noticing that the 512-byte sector representation of the volume is only correct if the volume size is multiple of 512-bytes. This is true for virtually any NAND device, given eraseblocks and pages are 512-byte multiple and hence so is the LEB size.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hu (hujianyang <hujianyang@huawei.com>) discovered an issue in the 'empty_log_bytes()' function, which calculates how many bytes are left in the log: " If 'c->lhead_lnum + 1 == c->ltail_lnum' and 'c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size', 'h' would equalent to 't' and 'empty_log_bytes()' would return 'c->log_bytes' instead of 0.

| * UBIFS: fix a race conditionArtem Bityutskiy2014-09-082-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean reboot. The problem is theoretical, though. In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The log has the tail and the head. Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the same position. At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the log changes is the commit operation. The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to the flash media during "commit end" phase. During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal "disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes. When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though. The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again. And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()'). But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens, the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the correct log tail at all times. This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween operations (a) and (b).

Inside a mountns owned by a non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs could be exposed). In that case, calling umount on "/" will return -EINVAL with or without this patch. Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect. may_mount, required by umount, already checks ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect. That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns while chrooted. This is the case that is currently broken (it remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to -EPERM.

If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

An example is when running as a guest. Introduce watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool) allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary, initial boot: default=enabled smp_prepare_boot_cpu watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially show '1'.

All users now switched to that approach. This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are required and the rest of the string ends up cut off. Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their alphabetic representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used for messaging only.

By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the entries have the same bdev and size. In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this cut the cost of a miss by about 20%. A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr comparisons. This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison is a meaningful portion of the total work being done: 1628: 83 c1 01 add $0x1,%ecx 162b: 83 f9 08 cmp $0x8,%ecx 162e: 74 60 je 1690 <__find_get_block+0xa0> 1630: 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax 1632: 65 4c 8b 04 c5 00 00 mov %gs:0x0(,%rax,8),%r8 1639: 00 00 163b: 4d 85 c0 test %r8,%r8 163e: 4c 89 c3 mov %r8,%rbx 1641: 74 e5 je 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> - 1643: 4d 3b 68 30 cmp 0x30(%r8),%r13 + 1643: 4d 3b 68 18 cmp 0x18(%r8),%r13 1647: 75 df jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> - 1649: 4d 3b 60 18 cmp 0x18(%r8),%r12 + 1649: 4d 3b 60 30 cmp 0x30(%r8),%r12 164d: 75 d9 jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> 164f: 49 39 50 20 cmp %rdx,0x20(%r8) 1653: 75 d3 jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zab@zabbo.net> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
