quota: Properly return errors from dquot_writeback_dquots()

2014-11-14T17:00:09Z

commit 474d2605d119479e5aa050f738632e63589d4bb5 upstream. Due to a switched left and right side of an assignment, dquot_writeback_dquots() never returned error. This could result in errors during quota writeback to not be reported to userspace properly. Fix it. Coverity-id: 1226884 Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

quota: missing lock in dqcache_shrink_scan()

2014-07-28T15:05:58Z

commit d68aab6b8f572406aa93b45ef6483934dd3b54a6 upstream. Commit 1ab6c4997e04 (fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API) accidentally removed locking from quota shrinker. Fix it - dqcache_shrink_scan() should use dq_list_lock to protect the scan on free_dquots list.

quota: Fix race between dqput() and dquot_scan_active()

2014-02-20T20:57:04Z

Currently last dqput() can race with dquot_scan_active() causing it to call callback for an already deactivated dquot. The race is as follows: CPU1 CPU2 dqput() spin_lock(&dq_list_lock); if (atomic_read(&dquot->dq_count) > 1) { - not taken if (test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags)) { spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock); ->release_dquot(dquot); if (atomic_read(&dquot->dq_count) > 1) - not taken dquot_scan_active() spin_lock(&dq_list_lock); if (!test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags)) - not taken atomic_inc(&dquot->dq_count); spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock); - proceeds to release dquot ret = fn(dquot, priv); - called for inactive dquot Fix the problem by making sure possible ->release_dquot() is finished by the time we call the callback and new calls to it will notice reference dquot_scan_active() has taken and bail out.

genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse

2013-11-19T21:39:06Z

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

genetlink: pass family to functions using groups

2013-11-19T21:39:06Z

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID within the family, rather than the global group ID. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs

2013-11-19T21:39:05Z

The quota code is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make the quota code use the correct API, but since this is already used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions.

quota: info leak in quota_getquota()

2013-11-04T13:16:55Z

The if_dqblk struct has a 4 byte hole at the end of the struct so uninitialized stack information is leaked to user space. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API

2013-09-10T22:56:31Z

Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For example, nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects to free. I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under memory pressure).

super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers

2013-09-10T22:56:29Z

The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try to shrink. It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total < 100). This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in very low kernel memory situations.
