<id>urn:sha1:57ce57616accf5c20822be601a0ddfef08af000b</id>

commit bc4ef7592f657ae81b017207a1098817126ad4cb upstream.

The value of ctx-&gt;pos in the last readdir call is supposed to be set to
INT_MAX due to 32bit compatibility, unless 'pos' is intentially set to a
larger value, then it's LLONG_MAX.

There's a report from PaX SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin that "ctx-&gt;pos++"
overflows (https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&amp;t=4284), on a
64bit arch, where the value is 0x7fffffffffffffff ie. LLONG_MAX before
the increment.

We can get to that situation like that:

* emit all regular readdir entries
* still in the same call to readdir, bump the last pos to INT_MAX
* next call to readdir will not emit any entries, but will reach the
  bump code again, finds pos to be INT_MAX and sets it to LLONG_MAX

Normally this is not a problem, but if we call readdir again, we'll find
'pos' set to LLONG_MAX and the unconditional increment will overflow.

The report from Victor at
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/49500) with debugging
print shows that pattern:

The jump from 7fffffff to 7fffffffffffffff happens when new dir entries
are not yet synced and are processed from the delayed list. Then the code
could go to the bump section again even though it might not emit any new
dir entries from the delayed list.

The fix avoids entering the "bump" section again once we've finished
emitting the entries, both for synced and delayed entries.

Josef sent along an incremental to the inode reservation
code to make sure we try and fall back to directly updating
the inode item if things go horribly wrong.

This reworks that patch slightly, adding a fallback function
that will always try to update the inode item directly without
going through the delayed_inode code.

People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io.  This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode.  The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc.  This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.

Then came the delayed inode stuff.  This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again.  This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.

So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it.  So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation.  If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff.  If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation.  If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.

With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in a loop for a couple of hours and didn't see
any problems.

We all keep getting those stupid warnings from use_block_rsv when running
stress.sh, and it's because the delayed insertion stuff is being stupid.  It's
not the delayed insertion stuffs fault, it's all just stupid.  When marking an
inode dirty for oh say updating the time on it, we just do a
btrfs_join_transaction, which doesn't reserve any space.  This is stupid because
we're going to have to have space reserve to make this change, but we do it
because it's fast because chances are we're going to call it over and over again
and it doesn't matter.  Well thanks to the delayed insertion stuff this is
mostly the case, so we do actually need to make this reservation.  So if
trans-&gt;bytes_reserved is 0 then try to do a normal reservation.  If not return
ENOSPC which will make the btrfs_dirty_inode start a proper transaction which
will let it do the whole ENOSPC dance and reserve enough space for the delayed
insertion to steal the reservation from the transaction.

The other stupid thing we do is not reserve space for the inode when writing to
the thing.  Usually this is ok since we have to update the time so we'd have
already done all this work before we get to the endio stuff, so it doesn't
matter.  But this is stupid because we could write the data after the
transaction commits where we changed the mtime of the inode so we have to cow
all the way down to the inode anyway.  This used to be masked by the delalloc
reservation stuff, but because we delay the update it doesn't get masked in this
case.  So again the delayed insertion stuff bites us in the ass.  So if our
trans-&gt;block_rsv is delalloc, just steal the reservation from the delalloc
reserve.  Hopefully this won't bite us in the ass, but I've said that before.

With this patch stress.sh no longer spits out those stupid warnings (famous last
words).  Thanks,

I've been hitting warnings in use_block_rsv when running the delayed insertion
stuff.  It's because we will readjust global block rsv based on what is in use,
which means we could end up discarding reservations that are for the delayed
insertion stuff.  So instead create a seperate block rsv for the delayed
insertion stuff.  This will also make it easier to debug problems with the
delayed insertion reservations since we will know that only the delayed
insertion code touches this block_rsv.  Thanks,
