2009-07-21jbd: fix race between write_metadata_buffer and get_write_accessdingdinghua
The function journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in) too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data to be written into the journal. Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only time this will actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system crash or other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take place.

2009-07-15jbd: Fix a race between checkpointing code and journal_get_write_access()Jan Kara
The following race can happen: CPU1 CPU2 checkpointing code checks the buffer, adds it to an array for writeback do_get_write_access() ... lock_buffer() unlock_buffer() flush_batch() submits the buffer for IO __jbd_journal_file_buffer() So a buffer under writeout is returned from do_get_write_access(). Since the filesystem code relies on the fact that journaled buffers cannot be written out, it does not take the buffer lock and so it can modify buffer while it is under writeout. That can lead to a filesystem corruption if we crash at the right moment. The similar problem can happen with the journal_get_create_access() path. We fix the problem by clearing the buffer dirty bit under buffer_lock even if the buffer is on BJ_None list. Actually, we clear the dirty bit regardless the list the buffer is in and warn about the fact if the buffer is already journalled.

2009-06-09jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit codeJan Kara
In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers(). But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and list. This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

2009-02-11jbd: fix return value of journal_start_commit()Jan Kara
journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to userspace. This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>: #!/bin/bash umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 rm -f /mnt/test2/* dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512 touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename /mnt/test2/link umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 ls /mnt/test2/ This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

2009-01-08jbd: improve fsync batchingJosef Bacik
There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

2008-11-06jbd: don't give up looking for space so easily in __log_wait_for_spaceTheodore Ts'o
Commit be07c4ed introducd a regression because it assumed that if there were no transactions ready to be checkpointed, that no progress could be made on making space available in the journal, and so the journal should be aborted. This assumption is false; it could be the case that simply calling cleanup_journal_tail() will recover the necessary space, or, for small journals, the currently committing transaction could be responsible for chewing up the required space in the log, so we need to wait for the currently committing transaction to finish before trying to force a checkpoint operation.

2008-10-23jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space() Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-20ext3: add an option to control error handling on file dataHidehiro Kawai
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the file data corruption will spread silently. Because most of applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't notice the IO error. It's scary for mission critical systems. On the other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable. So this patch introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data. If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data write error. If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just call printk(). data_err=ignore is the default.

2008-10-20jbd: don't dirty original metadata buffer on abortHidehiro Kawai
Currently, original metadata buffers are dirtied when they are unfiled whether the journal has aborted or not. Eventually these buffers will be written-back to the filesystem by pdflush. This means some metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling if the journal aborts. So if both journal abort and system crash happen at the same time, the filesystem would become inconsistent state. Additionally, replaying journaled metadata can overwrite the latest metadata on the filesystem partly. Because, if the journal aborts, journaled metadata are preserved and replayed during the next mount not to lose uncheckpointed metadata. This would also break the consistency of the filesystem. This patch prevents original metadata buffers from being dirtied on abort by clearing BH_JBDDirty flag from those buffers. Thus, no metadata buffers are written to the filesystem without journaling.

Additionally, set AS_EIO into the address_space object of the failed buffer which is submitted by journal_do_submit_data() so that fsync() can get -EIO. Missing error checkings are also added to inform errors on file data buffers to the user. The following buffers are targeted. (a) the buffer which has already been written out by pdflush (b) the buffer which has been unlocked before scanned in the t_locked_list loop [akpm@linux-foundation.org: improve grammar in a printk] Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-25jbd: positively dispose the unmapped data buffers in ↵Toshiyuki Okajima
journal_commit_transaction() After ext3-ordered files are truncated, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated still remain. Remaining pages can be released when the system has really few memory. So, it is not memory leakage. But the resource management software etc. may not work correctly. It is possible that journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release the buffers, and the pages to which they belong because they are attached to a commiting transaction and journal_unmap_buffer() cannot release them. To release such the buffers and the pages later, journal_unmap_buffer() leaves it to journal_commit_transaction(). (journal_unmap_buffer() puts the mark 'BH_Freed' to the buffers so that journal_commit_transaction() can identify whether they can be released or not.) In the journalled mode and the writeback mode, jbd does with only metadata buffers. But in the ordered mode, jbd does with metadata buffers and also data buffers. Actually, journal_commit_transaction() releases only the metadata buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer(), and also releases the pages to which they belong if possible. As a result, the data buffers of which release is demanded by journal_unmap_buffer() remain after a transaction commits. And also the pages to which they belong remain. Such the remained pages don't have mapping any longer. Due to this fact, there is a possibility that the pages which cannot be estimated remain. The metadata buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong can be released at 'JBD: commit phase 7'. Therefore, by applying the same code into 'JBD: commit phase 2' (where the data buffers are done with), journal_commit_transaction() can also release the data buffers marked 'BH_Freed' and the pages to which they belong. As a result, all the buffers marked 'BH_Freed' can be released, and also all the pages to which these buffers belong can be released at journal_commit_transaction(). So, the page which cannot be estimated is lost. <<Excerpt of code at 'JBD: commit phase 7'>> > spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); > while (commit_transaction->t_forget) { > transaction_t *cp_transaction; > struct buffer_head *bh; > > jh = commit_transaction->t_forget; >... > if (buffer_freed(bh)) { > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_freed(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > clear_buffer_jbddirty(bh); > } > > if (buffer_jbddirty(bh)) { > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "add to new checkpointing trans"); > __journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction); > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile for checkpoint writeback"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > } else { > J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh)); > ... > JBUFFER_TRACE(jh, "refile or unfile freed buffer"); > __journal_refile_buffer(jh); > if (!jh->b_transaction) { > jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); > /* needs a brelse */ > journal_remove_journal_head(bh); > release_buffer_page(bh); > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > } else > } **************************************************************** * Apply the code of "^^^^^^" lines into 'JBD: commit phase 2' * **************************************************************** At journal_commit_transaction() code, there is one extra message in the series of jbd debug messages.

2008-07-25jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transactionMingming Cao
journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

2008-07-25jbd: eliminate duplicated code in revocation table init/destroy functionsDuane Griffin
The revocation table initialisation/destruction code is repeated for each of the two revocation tables stored in the journal. Refactoring the duplicated code into functions is tidier, simplifies the logic in initialisation in particular, and slightly reduces the code size. There should not be any functional change.

2008-07-25jbd: replace potentially false assertion with if blockDuane Griffin
If an error occurs during jbd cache initialisation it is possible for the journal_head_cache to be NULL when journal_destroy_journal_head_cache is called. Replace the J_ASSERT with an if block to handle the situation correctly. Note that even with this fix things will break badly if jbd is statically compiled in and cache initialisation fails.
