ext4: Fix handling of extended tv_sec

2016-10-26T15:15:34+00:00

commit a4dad1ae24f850410c4e60f22823cba1289b8d52 upstream. In ext4, the bottom two bits of {a,c,m}time_extra are used to extend the {a,c,m}time fields, deferring the year 2038 problem to the year 2446. When decoding these extended fields, for times whose bottom 32 bits would represent a negative number, sign extension causes the 64-bit extended timestamp to be negative as well, which is not what's intended. This patch corrects that issue, so that the only negative {a,c,m}times are those between 1901 and 1970 (as per 32-bit signed timestamps). Some older kernels might have written pre-1970 dates with 1,1 in the extra bits. This patch treats those incorrectly-encoded dates as pre-1970, instead of post-2311, until kernel 4.20 is released. Hopefully by then e2fsck will have fixed up the bad data. Also add a comment explaining the encoding of ext4's extra {a,c,m}time bits.

ext4: add ext4_iget_normal() which is to be used for dir tree lookups

2015-02-02T09:04:53+00:00

commit f4bb2981024fc91b23b4d09a8817c415396dbabb upstream. If there is a corrupted file system which has directory entries that point at reserved, metadata inodes, prohibit them from being used by treating them the same way we treat Boot Loader inodes --- that is, mark them to be bad inodes. This prohibits them from being opened, deleted, or modified via chmod, chown, utimes, etc. In particular, this prevents a corrupted file system which has a directory entry which points at the journal inode from being deleted and its blocks released, after which point Much Hilarity Ensues.

ext4: propagate errors up to ext4_find_entry()'s callers

2014-12-01T10:02:41+00:00

commit 36de928641ee48b2078d3fe9514242aaa2f92013 upstream. If we run into some kind of error, such as ENOMEM, while calling ext4_getblk() or ext4_dx_find_entry(), we need to make sure this error gets propagated up to ext4_find_entry() and then to its callers. This way, transient errors such as ENOMEM can get propagated to the VFS. This is important so that the system calls return the appropriate error, and also so that in the case of ext4_lookup(), we return an error instead of a NULL inode, since that will result in a negative dentry cache entry that will stick around long past the OOM condition which caused a transient ENOMEM error.

ext4: use atomic64_t for the per-flexbg free_clusters count

2013-04-05T17:04:37+00:00

commit 90ba983f6889e65a3b506b30dc606aa9d1d46cd2 upstream. A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups to overflow. This was detected by PaX security patchset: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551 This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around since 2.6.30. :-( Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's free_clusters.

ext4: fix overhead calculation used by ext4_statfs()

2012-08-09T15:31:41+00:00

commit 952fc18ef9ec707ebdc16c0786ec360295e5ff15 upstream. Commit f975d6bcc7a introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks. This causes the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should be. This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to be larger than they should be.

Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux

2012-03-29T21:53:25+00:00

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while). And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it on by default. * 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (55 commits) nfsd: only register cld pipe notifier when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel nfsd: fix NULL pointer dereference in cld_pipe_downcall nfsd4: memory corruption in numeric_name_to_id() sunrpc: skip portmap calls on sessions backchannel nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping nfsd: don't allow legacy client tracker init for anything but init_net nfsd: add notifier to handle mount/unmount of rpc_pipefs sb nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall nfsd: add a header describing upcall to nfsdcld nfsd: add a per-net-namespace struct for nfsd sunrpc: create nfsd dir in rpc_pipefs nfsd: add nfsd4_client_tracking_ops struct and a way to set it nfsd: convert nfs4_client->cl_cb_flags to a generic flags field NFSD: Fix nfs4_verifier memory alignment NFSD: Fix warnings when NFSD_DEBUG is not defined nfsd: vfs_llseek() with 32 or 64 bit offsets (hashes) nfsd: rename 'int access' to 'int may_flags' in nfsd_open() ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type fs: add new FMODE flags: FMODE_32bithash and FMODE_64bithash ...
