mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like:
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13
if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I
see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently
doesn't have any IOAPICs.
But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that
none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is
to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep
returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

Commit bf5fc093c5 refactored
btrfs_ioctl_space_info() and introduced several security issues.
space_args.space_slots is an unsigned 64-bit type controlled by a
possibly unprivileged caller. The comparison as a signed int type
allows providing values that are treated as negative and cause the
subsequent allocation size calculation to wrap, or be truncated to 0.
By providing a size that's truncated to 0, kmalloc() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR. It's also possible to provide a value smaller than the
slot count. The subsequent loop ignores the allocation size when
copying data in, resulting in a heap overflow or write to ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
The fix changes the slot count type and comparison typecast to u64,
which prevents truncation or signedness errors, and also ensures that we
don't copy more data than we've allocated in the subsequent loop. Note
that zero-size allocations are no longer possible since there is already
an explicit check for space_args.space_slots being 0 and truncation of
this value is no longer an issue.

Btrfs tracks uptodate state in an rbtree as well as in the
page bits. This is supposed to enable us to use block sizes other than
the page size, but there are a few parts still missing before that
completely works.
But, our readpage routine trusts this additional range based tracking
of uptodateness, much in the same way the buffer head up to date bits
are trusted for the other filesystems.
The problem is that sometimes we need to allocate memory in order to
split records in the rbtree, even when we are just clearing bits. This
can be difficult when our clearing function is called GFP_ATOMIC, which
can happen in the releasepage path.
So, what happens today looks like this:
releasepage called with GFP_ATOMIC
btrfs_releasepage calls clear_extent_bit
clear_extent_bit fails to allocate ram, leaving the up to date bit set
btrfs_releasepage returns success
The end result is the page being gone, but btrfs thinking the range is
up to date. Later on if someone tries to read that same page, the
btrfs readpage code will return immediately thinking the page is already
up to date.
This commit fixes things to fail the releasepage when we can't clear the
extent state bits. It covers both data pages and metadata tree blocks.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
There is a race where btrfs_releasepage can drop the
page->private contents just as alloc_extent_buffer is setting
up pages for metadata. Because of how the Btrfs page flags work,
this results in us skipping the crc on the page during IO.
This patch sovles the race by waiting until after the extent buffer
is inserted into the radix tree before it sets page private.

On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the

J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);
While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that
__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.
The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.
Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex. So that won't work.
This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module
loads & unloads. I tracked this down to:
fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures
(this was in addition to the features advert unload problem)
The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing
a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates
& frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different...
so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double
freeing the one allocated by slub.
After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other
sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it
more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2
method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from
a list of static names.
(This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with
parallel mounts running).

This code makes two calls to clk_get, then test both return values and
fails if either failed.
The problem is that in the first inner if, where the first call to
clk_get has failed, it don't know if the second call has failed as well.
So it don't know whether clk_get should be called on the result of the
second call. Of course, it would be possible to test that value again.
A simpler solution is just to test the result of calling clk_get
directly after each call.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
