According to commit a59d6293e5 ("debugfs: change parameter check in
debugfs_remove() functions"), this is meant to make cleanup easier for
callers. In that case it ought to be documented.

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument,
when all it needs is a boolean pointer.
It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.
That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using
debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were
updated for that to be bool as well.

When dropping a snapshot we need to account for the qgroup changes. If we drop
the snapshot in all one go then the backref code will fail to find blocks from
the snapshot we dropped since it won't be able to find the root in the fs root
cache. This can lead to us failing to find refs from other roots that pointed
at blocks in the now deleted root. To handle this we need to not remove the fs
roots from the cache until after we process the qgroup operations. Do this by
adding dropped roots to a list on the transaction, and letting the transaction
remove the roots at the same time it drops the commit roots. This will keep all
of the backref searching code in sync properly, and fixes a problem Mark was
seeing with snapshot delete and qgroups. Thanks,

This means that the inode had non-zero "outstanding extents" during
eviction. This occurs because, during direct I/O a task which successfully
used up its reserved data space would set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit and does
not clear the bit after finishing the DIO write. A future DIO write could
actually fail and the unused reserve space won't be freed because of the
previously set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit.
Clearing the BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit in btrfs_direct_IO() caused the
following issue,
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
| Task A | Task B |
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
| Start direct i/o write on inode X.| |
| reserve space | |
| Allocate ordered extent | |
| release reserved space | |
| Set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit. | |
| | splice() |
| | Transfer data from pipe buffer to |
| | destination file. |
| | - kmap(pipe buffer page) |
| | - Start direct i/o write on |
| | inode X. |
| | - reserve space |
| | - dio_refill_pages() |
| | - sdio->blocks_available == 0 |
| | - Since a kernel address is |
| | being passed instead of a |
| | user space address, |
| | iov_iter_get_pages() returns |
| | -EFAULT. |
| | - Since BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY is |
| | set, we don't release reserved |
| | space. |
| | - Clear BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit.|
| -EIOCBQUEUED is returned. | |
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
Hence this commit introduces "struct btrfs_dio_data" to track the usage of
reserved data space. The remaining unused "reserve space" can now be freed
reliably.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>
When a read delegation is being recalled, and we're reclaiming the
cached opens, we need to make sure that we only reclaim read-only
modes.
A previous attempt to do this, relied on retrieving the delegation
type from the nfs4_opendata structure. Unfortunately, as Kinglong
pointed out, this field can only be set when performing reboot recovery.
Furthermore, if we call nfs4_open_recover(), then we end up clobbering
the state->flags for all modes that we're not recovering...
The fix is to have the delegation recall code pass this information
to the recovery call, and then refactor the recovery code so that
nfs4_open_delegation_recall() does not need to call nfs4_open_recover().

Commit 505a666ee3 ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes,
which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files
are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles.
For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives,
this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling
cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so
explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces
latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages.
It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means
less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.

A test case is as the description says:
open(foobar, O_WRONLY);
sleep() --> reboot the server
close(foobar)
The bug is because in nfs4state.c in nfs4_reclaim_open_state() a few
line before going to restart, there is
clear_bit(NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE, &state->flags).
NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE is a flag for the client states not open
owner states. Value of NFS4CLNT_RECLAIM_NOGRACE is 4 which is the
value of NFS_O_WRONLY_STATE in nfs4_state->flags. So clearing it wipes
out state and when we go to close it, “call_close” doesn’t get set as
state flag is not set and CLOSE doesn’t go on the wire.

commit bbab37ddc2 (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to
block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs. That utility
sets the block size of the device to the logical block size
using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read
from the last sector of the device. This results in the dax_io
code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end
of the device. The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace.
The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling
get_block.

In btrfs_evict_inode, we properly truncate the page cache for evicted
inodes but then we call btrfs_wait_ordered_range for every inode as well.
It's the right thing to do for regular files but results in incorrect
behavior for device inodes for block devices.
filemap_fdatawrite_range gets called with inode->i_mapping which gets
resolved to the block device inode before getting passed to
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode and ultimately to inode_to_bdi. What happens
next depends on whether there's an open file handle associated with the
inode. If there is, we write to the block device, which is unexpected
behavior. If there isn't, we through normally and inode->i_data is used.
We can also end up racing against open/close which can result in crashes
when i_mapping points to a block device inode that has been closed.
Since there can't be any page cache associated with special file inodes,
it's safe to skip the btrfs_wait_ordered_range call entirely and avoid
the problem.

If a file has a range pointing to a compressed extent, followed by
another range that points to the same compressed extent and a read
operation attempts to read both ranges (either completely or part of
them), the pages that correspond to the second range are incorrectly
filled with zeroes.
Consider the following example:
File layout
[0 - 8K] [8K - 24K]
| |
| |
points to extent X, points to extent X,
offset 4K, length of 8K offset 0, length 16K
[extent X, compressed length = 4K uncompressed length = 16K]
If a readpages() call spans the 2 ranges, a single bio to read the extent
is submitted - extent_io.c:submit_extent_page() would only create a new
bio to cover the second range pointing to the extent if the extent it
points to had a different logical address than the extent associated with
the first range. This has a consequence of the compressed read end io
handler (compression.c:end_compressed_bio_read()) finish once the extent
is decompressed into the pages covering the first range, leaving the
remaining pages (belonging to the second range) filled with zeroes (done
by compression.c:btrfs_clear_biovec_end()).
So fix this by submitting the current bio whenever we find a range
pointing to a compressed extent that was preceded by a range with a
different extent map. This is the simplest solution for this corner
case. Making the end io callback populate both ranges (or more, if we
have multiple pointing to the same extent) is a much more complex
solution since each bio is tightly coupled with a single extent map and
the extent maps associated to the ranges pointing to the shared extent
can have different offsets and lengths.
The following test case for fstests triggers the issue:

* writeback-plugging:
writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()
Revert "writeback: plug writeback at a high level"
We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the
wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before
taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it. This does that.
Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is
comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock
around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits.
I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking
one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the
known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll
pick this cleanup version for now. But if the numbers show that we
really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we
should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

This reverts commit d353d7587d.
Doing the block layer plug/unplug inside writeback_sb_inodes() is
broken, because that function is actually called with a spinlock held:
wb->list_lock, as pointed out by Chris Mason.
Chris suggested just dropping and re-taking the spinlock around the
blk_finish_plug() call (the plgging itself can happen under the
spinlock), and that would technically work, but is just disgusting.
We do something fairly similar - but not quite as disgusting because we
at least have a better reason for it - in writeback_single_inode(), so
it's not like the caller can depend on the lock being held over the
call, but in this case there just isn't any good reason for that
"release and re-take the lock" pattern.
[ In general, we should really strive to avoid the "release and retake"
pattern for locks, because in the general case it can easily cause
subtle bugs when the caller caches any state around the call that
might be invalidated by dropping the lock even just temporarily. ]
But in this case, the plugging should be easy to just move up to the
callers before the spinlock is taken, which should even improve the
effectiveness of the plug. So there is really no good reason to play
games with locking here.
I'll send off a test-patch so that Dave Chinner can verify that that
plug movement works. In the meantime this just reverts the problematic
commit and adds a comment to the function so that we hopefully don't
make this mistake again.

This might lead to local privilege escalation (code execution as
kernel) for systems where the following conditions are met:
- CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX are enabled
- a cifs filesystem is mounted where:
- the mount option "vers" was used and set to a value >=2.0
- the attacker has write access to at least one file on the filesystem
To attack this, an attacker would have to guess the target_tcon
pointer (but guessing wrong doesn't cause a crash, it just returns an
error code) and win a narrow race.

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
"A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup
changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.
Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:
- bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.
- Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.
- Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.
Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:
cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't
have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.
This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This
makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
implemented by cfq.
- Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.
- Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.
Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:
This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.
- alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped.
- alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.
- blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
allocation.
- all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
blkcg.
And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
handling:
blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset
tries to improve the situation a bit.
- The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps
colllecting common stats on bio issue.
- per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek.
- cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core
support both by default.
- cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
multiple times. Unify them"

On a filesystem like vfat, all files are created with the same owner
and mode independent of who created the file. When a vfat filesystem
is mounted with root as owner of all files and read access for everyone,
root's processes left world-readable coredumps on it (but other
users' processes only left empty corefiles when given write access
because of the uid mismatch).
Given that the old behavior was inconsistent and insecure, I don't see
a problem with changing it. Now, all processes refuse to dump core unless
the resulting corefile will only be readable by their owner.

It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into
writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using
rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim
process' virtual memory. Depending on the configuration, it was also
possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps. Fix
that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files.
Requirements for the attack:
- The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero
RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable.
- The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an
attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is
relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an
absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used.
- The attacker has one of these:
A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0:
execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the
victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack
takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill
this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.)
This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set
protected_hardlinks=1.
B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1:
execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition
as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part
of the attack takes place.
(This seems to be uncommon.)
C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks:
write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned,
attacker-readable file on the same partition as D
(This seems to be uncommon.)
The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where
he expects the victim process to dump its core. The victim process dumps
its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from
it.
If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access
to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory
he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted
(because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1).
A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link()
and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into
D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count
check.
On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to
not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing,
victim-writable files with coredumps. (This could theoretically lead to a
privilege escalation.)
