commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Drop changes to f2fs, lustre, orangefs, overlayfs
 - Adjust filenames, context
 - In nfsd, pass dentry to nfsd_sanitize_attrs()
 - In xfs, pass dentry to xfs_change_file_space(), xfs_set_mode(),
   xfs_setattr_nonsize(), and xfs_setattr_size()
 - Update ext3 as well

<title>nilfs2: fix data loss with mmap()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a428c0e1d7781192fe806246f29b4dbeaa2a7ce1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 56d7acc792c0d98f38f22058671ee715ff197023 upstream.

This bug leads to reproducible silent data loss, despite the use of
msync(), sync() and a clean unmount of the file system.  It is easily
reproducible with the following script:

  ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
  mkfs.nilfs2 -f /dev/sdb
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=30 of=/mnt/testfile

  umount /mnt
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  CHECKSUM_BEFORE="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"

  /root/mmaptest/mmaptest /mnt/testfile 30 10 5

  sync
  CHECKSUM_AFTER="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"
  umount /mnt
  mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT="$(md5sum /mnt/testfile)"
  umount /mnt

  echo "BEFORE MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_BEFORE"
  echo "AFTER MMAP:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER"
  echo "AFTER REMOUNT:\t$CHECKSUM_AFTER_REMOUNT"
  ----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------

The mmaptest tool looks something like this (very simplified, with
error checking removed):

  ----------------[BEGIN mmaptest]--------------------
  data = mmap(NULL, file_size - file_offset, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
              MAP_SHARED, fd, file_offset);

  for (i = 0; i &lt; write_count; ++i) {
        memcpy(data + i * 4096, buf, sizeof(buf));
        msync(data, file_size - file_offset, MS_SYNC))
  }
  ----------------[END mmaptest]--------------------

The output of the script looks something like this:

  BEFORE MMAP:    281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83  /mnt/testfile
  AFTER MMAP:     6604a1c31f10780331a6850371b3a313  /mnt/testfile
  AFTER REMOUNT:  281ed1d5ae50e8419f9b978aab16de83  /mnt/testfile

So it is clear, that the changes done using mmap() do not survive a
remount.  This can be reproduced a 100% of the time.  The problem was
introduced in commit 136e8770cd5d ("nilfs2: fix issue of
nilfs_set_page_dirty() for page at EOF boundary").

If the page was read with mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages() for
example, then it has no buffers attached to it.  In that case
page_has_buffers(page) in nilfs_set_page_dirty() will be false.
Therefore nilfs_set_file_dirty() is never called and the pages are never
collected and never written to disk.

This patch fixes the problem by also calling nilfs_set_file_dirty() if the
page has no buffers attached to it.

commit 136e8770cd5d1fe38b3c613100dd6dc4db6d4fa6 upstream.

nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty for page at EOF boundary

DESCRIPTION:
 There are use-cases when NILFS2 file system (formatted with block size
lesser than 4 KB) can be remounted in RO mode because of encountering of
"broken bmap" issue.

The issue was reported by Anthony Doggett &lt;Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk&gt;:
 "The machine I've been trialling nilfs on is running Debian Testing,
  Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc
  version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2), but I've
  also reproduced it (identically) with Debian Unstable amd64 and Debian
  Experimental (using the 3.8-trunk kernel).  The problematic partitions
  were formatted with "mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192"."

SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error messages likewise:

    [63102.496756] nilfs_direct_assign: invalid pointer: 0
    [63102.496786] NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28)
    [63102.496798]
    [63102.524403] Remounting filesystem read-only

(2) The NILFS2 file system is remounted in RO mode.

REPRODUSING PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett &lt;Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk&gt;):

----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------

VG=unencrypted
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
sleep 2
date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%

INVESTIGATION:
As it was discovered, the issue takes place during segment
construction after executing such sequence of user-space operations:

  open("_darcs/index", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0666) = 7
  fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
  ftruncate(7, 60)

The error message "NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken
bmap (inode number=28)" takes place because of trying to get block
number for third block of the file with logical offset #3072 bytes.  As
it is possible to see from above output, the file has 60 bytes of the
whole size.  So, it is enough one block (1 KB in size) allocation for
the whole file.  Trying to operate with several blocks instead of one
takes place because of discovering several dirty buffers for this file
in nilfs_segctor_scan_file() method.

The root cause of this issue is in nilfs_set_page_dirty function which
is called just before writing to an mmapped page.

When nilfs_page_mkwrite function handles a page at EOF boundary, it
fills hole blocks only inside EOF through __block_page_mkwrite().

The __block_page_mkwrite() function calls set_page_dirty() after filling
hole blocks, thus nilfs_set_page_dirty function (=
a_ops-&gt;set_page_dirty) is called.  However, the current implementation
of nilfs_set_page_dirty() wrongly marks all buffers dirty even for page
at EOF boundary.

As a result, buffers outside EOF are inconsistently marked dirty and
queued for write even though they are not mapped with nilfs_get_block
function.

FIX:
This modifies nilfs_set_page_dirty() not to mark hole blocks dirty.

Thanks to Vyacheslav Dubeyko for his effort on analysis and proposals
for this issue.

Simple filesystems always pass inode-&gt;i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.

Let filesystems handle waiting for direct I/O requests themselves instead
of doing it beforehand.  This means filesystem-specific locks to prevent
new dio referenes from appearing can be held.  This is important to allow
generalizing i_dio_count to non-DIO_LOCKING filesystems.
