ext4: revert commit which was causing fs corruption after journal replays

2014-07-17T23:23:16+00:00

commit f9ae9cf5d72b3926ca48ea60e15bdbb840f42372 upstream. Commit 007649375f6af2 ("ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors") causes the block group descriptor's count of the number of free blocks to become inconsistent with the number of free blocks in the allocation bitmap. This is a harmless form of fs corruption, but it causes the kernel to potentially remount the file system read-only, or to panic, depending on the file systems's error behavior. Thanks to Eric Whitney for his tireless work to reproduce and to find the guilty commit.

ext4: disable synchronous transaction batching if max_batch_time==0

2014-07-17T23:23:16+00:00

commit 5dd214248f94d430d70e9230bda72f2654ac88a8 upstream. The mount manpage says of the max_batch_time option, This optimization can be turned off entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0. But the code doesn't do that. So fix the code to do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors

2014-04-07T14:54:20+00:00

With EXT4FS_DEBUG ext4_count_free_clusters() will call ext4_read_block_bitmap() without s_group_info initialized, so we need to initialize multi-block allocator before. And dependencies that must be solved, to allow this: - multi-block allocator needs in group descriptors - need to install s_op before initializing multi-block allocator, because in ext4_mb_init_backend() new inode is created. - initialize number of group desc blocks (s_gdb_count) otherwise number of clusters returned by ext4_free_clusters_after_init() is not correct. (see ext4_bg_num_gdb_nometa()) Here is the stack backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 ext4_get_group_info (group=0, sb=0xffff880079a10000) at ext4.h:2430 #1 ext4_validate_block_bitmap (sb=sb@entry=0xffff880079a10000, desc=desc@entry=0xffff880056510000, block_group=block_group@entry=0, bh=bh@entry=0xffff88007bf2b2d8) at balloc.c:358 #2 0xffffffff81232202 in ext4_wait_block_bitmap (sb=sb@entry=0xffff880079a10000, block_group=block_group@entry=0, bh=bh@entry=0xffff88007bf2b2d8) at balloc.c:476 #3 0xffffffff81232eaf in ext4_read_block_bitmap (sb=sb@entry=0xffff880079a10000, block_group=block_group@entry=0) at balloc.c:489 #4 0xffffffff81232fc0 in ext4_count_free_clusters (sb=sb@entry=0xffff880079a10000) at balloc.c:665 #5 0xffffffff81259ffa in ext4_check_descriptors (first_not_zeroed=, sb=0xffff880079a10000) at super.c:2143 #6 ext4_fill_super (sb=sb@entry=0xffff880079a10000, data=, data@entry=0x0 , silent=silent@entry=0) at super.c:3851 ...

ext4: optimize Hurd tests when reading/writing inodes

2014-03-24T18:09:06+00:00

Set a in-memory superblock flag to indicate whether the file system is designed to support the Hurd. Also, add a sanity check to make sure the 64-bit feature is not set for Hurd file systems, since i_file_acl_high conflicts with a Hurd-specific field. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: each filesystem creates and uses its own mb_cache

2014-03-18T23:24:49+00:00

This patch adds new interfaces to create and destory cache, ext4_xattr_create_cache() and ext4_xattr_destroy_cache(), and remove the cache creation and destory calls from ex4_init_xattr() and ext4_exitxattr() in fs/ext4/xattr.c. fs/ext4/super.c has been changed so that when a filesystem is mounted a cache is allocated and attched to its ext4_sb_info structure. fs/mbcache.c has been changed so that only one slab allocator is allocated and used by all mbcache structures.

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

2014-03-13T14:14:33+00:00

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

ext4: don't try to modify s_flags if the the file system is read-only

2014-02-12T17:16:04+00:00

If an ext4 file system is created by some tool other than mke2fs (perhaps by someone who has a pathalogical fear of the GPL) that doesn't set one or the other of the EXT2_FLAGS_{UN}SIGNED_HASH flags, and that file system is then mounted read-only, don't try to modify the s_flags field. Otherwise, if dm_verity is in use, the superblock will change, causing an dm_verity failure. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
