NTFS: Fix invalid pointer dereference in ntfs_mft_record_alloc().

2011-01-31T02:58:11+00:00

In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the error code as if it were a pointer. The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value thus preserving the original @m for later use. This is a backport from the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested... Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).

NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock.

2007-10-12T16:16:30+00:00

Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working. The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super() across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a deadlock. We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. This has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the journal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improve on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

NTFS: 2.1.28 - Fix deadlock reported by Sergey Vlasov due to ntfs_put_inode().

2007-01-18T09:42:48+00:00

- Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode(). Thanks to Sergey Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock. The fix involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no longer has a ->put_inode super operation. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov
