Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in
dentry_lease_is_valid(). That function needs to sample the
session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs
to do so while holding a dentry lock. The s_cap_lock field was
being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while
holding a lock on a dentry within the session.
In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated
on separately. But in three cases they need to be updated together.
Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields
atomically is required.

Once /proc/pid/mem is opened, the memory can't be released until
mem_release() even if its owner exits.
Change mem_open() to do atomic_inc(mm_count) + mmput(), this only
pins mm_struct. Change mem_rw() to do atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_count)
before access_remote_vm(), this verifies that this mm is still alive.
I am not sure what should mem_rw() return if atomic_inc_not_zero()
fails. With this patch it returns zero to match the "mm == NULL" case,
may be it should return -EINVAL like it did before e268337d.
Perhaps it makes sense to add the additional fatal_signal_pending()
check into the main loop, to ensure we do not hold this memory if
the target task was oom-killed.

This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge
d3712b9dfc ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream").
The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always
return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether
the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs
this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash.
E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any
write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O
mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad
eraseblocks handling, and so on.
This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to
ensure correct Logfs behavior.
I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND
flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly.
This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d07: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".

When we did sysbench test for inline files, enospc error happened easily though
there was lots of free disk space which could be allocated for new chunks.
Reproduce steps:
# mkfs.btrfs -b $((2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)) <test partition>
# mount <test partition> /mnt
# ulimit -n 102400
# cd /mnt
# sysbench --num-threads=1 --test=fileio --file-num=81920 \
> --file-total-size=80M --file-block-size=1K --file-io-mode=sync \
> --file-test-mode=seqwr prepare
# sysbench --num-threads=1 --test=fileio --file-num=81920 \
> --file-total-size=80M --file-block-size=1K --file-io-mode=sync \
> --file-test-mode=seqwr run
<soon later, BUG_ON() was triggered by enospc error>
The reason of this bug is:
Now, we can reserve space which is larger than the free space in the chunks if
we have enough free disk space which can be used for new chunks. By this way,
the space allocator should allocate a new chunk by force if there is no free
space in the free space cache. But there are two wrong checks which break this
operation.
One is
if (ret == -ENOSPC && num_bytes > min_alloc_size)
in btrfs_reserve_extent(), it is wrong, we should try to allocate a new chunk
even we fail to allocate free space by minimum allocable size.
The other is
if (space_info->force_alloc)
force = space_info->force_alloc;
in do_chunk_alloc(). It makes the allocator ignore CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE If someone
sets ->force_alloc to CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED, and makes the enospc error happen.
Fix these two wrong checks. Especially the second one, we fix it by changing
the value of CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED and CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE, and make
CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE greater than CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED since CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE has
higher priority. And if the value which is passed in by the caller is greater
than ->force_alloc, use the passed value.

A user has encountered a NULL pointer kernel oops in btrfs when
encountering media errors. The problem has been identified
as an unhandled NULL pointer returned from find_get_page().
This modification simply checks for a NULL page, and returns

returns 1 on errors).
After testing this patch, the user reported that the error with
the NULL pointer oops was solved. However, there is still a

If pages passed to the eCryptfs extent-based crypto functions are not
mapped and the module parameter ecryptfs_verbosity=1 was specified at
loading time, a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Note that this wouldn't happen on a production system, as you wouldn't
pass ecryptfs_verbosity=1 on a production system. It leaks private
information to the system logs and is for debugging only.
The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful
and rather than doing a kmap() in these debugging paths, it will be
better to simply remove the debugging paths completely.

Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com>
Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.

ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a
size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is
represented by 32 bits.
This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to
store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of
type loff_t.
