If a rename operation is resent to the MDS following an MDS restart, the
client does not get a full reply (containing the resulting metadata) back.
In that case, a ceph_rename() needs to compensate by doing anything useful
that fill_inode() would have, like d_move().
It also needs to invalidate the dentry (to workaround the vfs_rename_dir()
bug) and clear the dir complete flag, just like fill_trace().

We can get old message seq #'s after a tcp reconnect for stateful sessions

The snap realm split was checking i_snap_realm, not the list_head, to
determine if an inode belonged in the new realm. The check always failed,
which meant we always moved the inode, corrupting the old realm's list and
causing various crashes.

Fix a number of RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code.
(1) delegation->cred doesn't need to be RCU protected as it's essentially an
invariant refcounted structure.
By the time we get to nfs_free_delegation(), the delegation is being
released, so no one else should be attempting to use the saved
credentials, and they can be cleared.
However, since the list of delegations could still be under traversal at
this point by such as nfs_client_return_marked_delegations(), the cred
should be released in nfs_do_free_delegation() rather than in
nfs_free_delegation(). Simply using rcu_assign_pointer() to clear it is
insufficient as that doesn't stop the cred from being destroyed, and nor
does calling put_rpccred() after call_rcu(), given that the latter is
asynchronous.
(2) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() and nfs_inode_set_delegation() should use
rcu_derefence_protected() because they can only be called if
nfs_client::cl_lock is held, and that guards against anyone changing
nfsi->delegation under it. Furthermore, the barrier imposed by
rcu_dereference() is superfluous, given that the spin_lock() is also a
barrier.
(3) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() is now passed a pointer to the nfs_client
struct so that it can issue lockdep advice based on clp->cl_lock for (2).
(4) nfs_inode_return_delegation_noreclaim() and nfs_inode_return_delegation()
should use rcu_access_pointer() outside the spinlocked region as they
merely examine the pointer and don't follow it, thus rendering unnecessary
the need to impose a partial ordering over the one item of interest.
These result in an RCU warning like the following:
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

On low memory boxes or those with highmem, kernel can OOM before the

reclaim so that it inode reclaim is expedited when memory is low.
This is more complex than it needs to be because the VM folk don't

When read_buf is called to move over to the next page in the pagelist
of an NFSv4 request, it sets argp->end to essentially a random
number, certainly not an address within the page which argp->p now
points to. So subsequent calls to READ_BUF will think there is much
more than a page of spare space (the cast to u32 ensures an unsigned
comparison) so we can expect to fall off the end of the second
page.
We never encountered thsi in testing because typically the only
operations which use more than two pages are write-like operations,
which have their own decoding logic. Something like a getattr after a
write may cross a page boundary, but it would be very unusual for it to
cross another boundary after that.

A new xfsqa test (226) with a prototype xfs_fsr change to try to
handle dynamic fork offsets better triggers an assertion failure
where the inode data fork is in btree format, yet there is room in
the inode for it to be in extent format. The two inodes look like:
before: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
before: ino 0x115 (temp), num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56
after: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
after: ino 0x115 (temp), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56
Basically the target inode ends up with 5 extents in btree format,
but it had space for 6 extents in extent format, so ends up
incorrect. Notably here the broot size is the same, and that is
where the kernel code is going wrong - the btree root will fit, so
it lets the swap go ahead.
The check should not allow the swap to take place if the number of
extents while in btree format is less than the number of extents
that can fit in the inode in extent format. Adding that check will
prevent this swap and corruption from occurring.

We are seeing a large regression in database performance on recent
kernels. The database opens a block device with O_DIRECT|O_SYNC and a
number of threads write to different regions of the file at the same time.
A simple test case is below. I haven't defined DEVICE since getting it
wrong will destroy your data :) On an 3 disk LVM with a 64k chunk size we
see about 17MB/sec and only a few threads in IO wait:
procs -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------

0 2 0 17933 759 2777 0 0 89 10 0
Most threads are blocking in vfs_fsync_range, which has:
mutex_lock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
err = fop->fsync(file, dentry, datasync);
if (!ret)
ret = err;
mutex_unlock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
commit 148f948ba8 (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) offers
some explanation of what is going on:
Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.
Thanks Jan for such a good commit message! As well as dropping i_mutex,
Christoph suggests we should remove the call to sync_blockdev():
> sync_blockdev is an overcomplicated alias for filemap_write_and_wait on
> the block device inode, which is exactly what we did just before calling
> into ->fsync
The patch below incorporates both suggestions. With it the testcase improves

Commit 48b32a3553 ("reiserfs: use generic
xattr handlers") introduced a problem that causes corruption when extended
attributes are replaced with a smaller value.
The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved
from before the write to after the write.
The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered
over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded
again while the xattr was written.
The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost.
This patch fixes it to use new_size.

Commit 677c9b2e39 ("reiserfs: remove
privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide
the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time
instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via
a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty.
This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and
modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including
root.
This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was
the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never
worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of
d_compare.
This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way.
The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and
caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.

When asked for a partial read of the LVB in a dlmfs file, we can
accidentally calculate a negative count.
