If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0 the ext3_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so, causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the ext3_orphan_get function. This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz) reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882. Signed-off-by: Duane Griffin <duaneg@xxxxxxxxx> -- Note that we can still end up in an infinite loop if the ext3_truncate errors out early (and keeps doing so). I'm not sure if we should worry about that. If we did want to handle it then we could change ext3_truncate to return success/failure and exit the ext3_orphan_cleanup. --- diff --git a/fs/ext3/ialloc.c b/fs/ext3/ialloc.c index 7712682..bc030f4 100644 --- a/fs/ext3/ialloc.c +++ b/fs/ext3/ialloc.c @@ -669,6 +669,14 @@ struct inode *ext3_orphan_get(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long ino) if (IS_ERR(inode)) goto iget_failed; + /* + * If the orphans has i_nlinks > 0 then it should be able to be + * truncated, otherwise it won't be removed from the orphan list + * during processing and an infinite loop will result. + */ + if (inode->i_nlink && !ext3_can_truncate(inode)) + goto bad_orphan; + if (NEXT_ORPHAN(inode) > max_ino) goto bad_orphan; brelse(bitmap_bh); @@ -690,6 +698,7 @@ bad_orphan: printk(KERN_NOTICE "NEXT_ORPHAN(inode)=%u\n", NEXT_ORPHAN(inode)); printk(KERN_NOTICE "max_ino=%lu\n", max_ino); + printk(KERN_NOTICE "i_nlink=%lu\n", inode->i_nlink); /* Avoid freeing blocks if we got a bad deleted inode */ if (inode->i_nlink == 0) inode->i_blocks = 0; diff --git a/fs/ext3/inode.c b/fs/ext3/inode.c index 6ae4ecf..7b7e234 100644 --- a/fs/ext3/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext3/inode.c @@ -2253,6 +2253,14 @@ static void ext3_free_branches(handle_t *handle, struct inode *inode, } } +int ext3_can_truncate(struct inode *inode) +{ + return (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) || S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) || + S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) && + !ext3_inode_is_fast_symlink(inode) && + !(IS_APPEND(inode) || IS_IMMUTABLE(inode)); +} + /* * ext3_truncate() * @@ -2297,12 +2305,7 @@ void ext3_truncate(struct inode *inode) unsigned blocksize = inode->i_sb->s_blocksize; struct page *page; - if (!(S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) || S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) || - S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode))) - return; - if (ext3_inode_is_fast_symlink(inode)) - return; - if (IS_APPEND(inode) || IS_IMMUTABLE(inode)) + if (!ext3_can_truncate(inode)) return; /* diff --git a/include/linux/ext3_fs.h b/include/linux/ext3_fs.h index 36c5403..80171ee 100644 --- a/include/linux/ext3_fs.h +++ b/include/linux/ext3_fs.h @@ -832,6 +832,7 @@ extern void ext3_discard_reservation (struct inode *); extern void ext3_dirty_inode(struct inode *); extern int ext3_change_inode_journal_flag(struct inode *, int); extern int ext3_get_inode_loc(struct inode *, struct ext3_iloc *); +extern int ext3_can_truncate(struct inode *inode); extern void ext3_truncate (struct inode *); extern void ext3_set_inode_flags(struct inode *); extern void ext3_get_inode_flags(struct ext3_inode_info *); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
