13 years agohwrng: via_rng - Fix memory scribbling on some CPUs

hwrng: via_rng - Fix memory scribbling on some CPUs

It has been reported that on at least one Nano CPU the xstore
instruction will write as many as 16 bytes of data to the output
buffer.

This causes memory corruption as we use rng->priv which is only
4-8 bytes long.

This patch fixes this by using an intermediate buffer on the stack
with at least 16 bytes and aligned to a 16-byte boundary.

The problem was observed on the following processor:

Once a sendmsg call occurs without MSG_MORE no further writes
may be made to the socket until all previous data has been read.

IVs and and whether encryption/decryption is performed can be
set through the setsockopt interface or as a control message
to sendmsg.

The interface is completely synchronous, all operations are
carried out in recvmsg(2) and will complete prior to the system
call returning.

The splice(2) interface support reading the user-space data directly
without copying (except that the Crypto API itself may copy the data
if alignment is off).

The recvmsg(2) interface supports directly writing to user-space

ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno

Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.

But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.

The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.

Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of
this bug.

ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scanned

As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.

As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout.  If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.

Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging

but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)

If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.

If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.

This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...

With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

  mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs() which is called via ext4_da_writepages()

  Therefore an infinite loop occurs because ext4_da_writepages()

Toshiyuki Okajima [Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:30:06 +0000 (21:30 -0400)]
ext4: improve llseek error handling for overly large seek offsets

The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset
which results in a write error.  What this maximum offset should be
depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set,
and whether or not the file is extent based or not.

If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be
written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be
sought (lseek systemcall).

For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences
between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset
allowed by the llseek system call:

#1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
#2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>

Table. the max file size which we can write or seek
       at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting
+============+===============================+===============================+
| \ File flag|                               |                               |
|      \     |     !EXT4_EXTENTS_FL          |        EXT4_EXTETNS_FL        |
|case       \|                               |                               |

| #1         |   write:      2194719883264   | write:       --------------   |

|            |   seek:      17592186044415   | seek:        17592186044415   |
+------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+

The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes
(= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped
maxbytes).  Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes.
(llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses
sb->s_maxbytes.)

Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes.

The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().
If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.

ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization

When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out.  The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.

Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble.  This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.

This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed.  There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.

This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10).  We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).

We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.

This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.
