This patch should fix or partly fix this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8276 The problem is: - if we see "zero link case" during reading inode operation, we call ufs_error(which remount fs readonly), but not "mark" inode as bad (1) - in readonly case we do not fill some data structures, which are used in read and write case (2) - VFS call ufs_delete_inode if link count is zero (3) so (1)->(3)->(2) cause oops, this patch should fix such scenario Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@xxxxxxx> Cc: Jim Paris <jim@xxxxxxxx> --- Index: linux-2.6.21-rc6/fs/ufs/inode.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.21-rc6.orig/fs/ufs/inode.c +++ linux-2.6.21-rc6/fs/ufs/inode.c @@ -601,7 +601,7 @@ static void ufs_set_inode_ops(struct ino ufs_get_inode_dev(inode->i_sb, UFS_I(inode))); } -static void ufs1_read_inode(struct inode *inode, struct ufs_inode *ufs_inode) +static int ufs1_read_inode(struct inode *inode, struct ufs_inode *ufs_inode) { struct ufs_inode_info *ufsi = UFS_I(inode); struct super_block *sb = inode->i_sb; @@ -613,8 +613,10 @@ static void ufs1_read_inode(struct inode */ inode->i_mode = mode = fs16_to_cpu(sb, ufs_inode->ui_mode); inode->i_nlink = fs16_to_cpu(sb, ufs_inode->ui_nlink); - if (inode->i_nlink == 0) + if (inode->i_nlink == 0) { ufs_error (sb, "ufs_read_inode", "inode %lu has zero nlink\n", inode->i_ino); + return -1; + } /* * Linux now has 32-bit uid and gid, so we can support EFT. @@ -643,9 +645,10 @@ static void ufs1_read_inode(struct inode for (i = 0; i < (UFS_NDADDR + UFS_NINDIR) * 4; i++) ufsi->i_u1.i_symlink[i] = ufs_inode->ui_u2.ui_symlink[i]; } + return 0; } -static void ufs2_read_inode(struct inode *inode, struct ufs2_inode *ufs2_inode) +static int ufs2_read_inode(struct inode *inode, struct ufs2_inode *ufs2_inode) { struct ufs_inode_info *ufsi = UFS_I(inode); struct super_block *sb = inode->i_sb; @@ -658,8 +661,10 @@ static void ufs2_read_inode(struct inode */ inode->i_mode = mode = fs16_to_cpu(sb, ufs2_inode->ui_mode); inode->i_nlink = fs16_to_cpu(sb, ufs2_inode->ui_nlink); - if (inode->i_nlink == 0) + if (inode->i_nlink == 0) { ufs_error (sb, "ufs_read_inode", "inode %lu has zero nlink\n", inode->i_ino); + return -1; + } /* * Linux now has 32-bit uid and gid, so we can support EFT. @@ -690,6 +695,7 @@ static void ufs2_read_inode(struct inode for (i = 0; i < (UFS_NDADDR + UFS_NINDIR) * 4; i++) ufsi->i_u1.i_symlink[i] = ufs2_inode->ui_u2.ui_symlink[i]; } + return 0; } void ufs_read_inode(struct inode * inode) @@ -698,6 +704,7 @@ void ufs_read_inode(struct inode * inode struct super_block * sb; struct ufs_sb_private_info * uspi; struct buffer_head * bh; + int err; UFSD("ENTER, ino %lu\n", inode->i_ino); @@ -720,14 +727,17 @@ void ufs_read_inode(struct inode * inode if ((UFS_SB(sb)->s_flags & UFS_TYPE_MASK) == UFS_TYPE_UFS2) { struct ufs2_inode *ufs2_inode = (struct ufs2_inode *)bh->b_data; - ufs2_read_inode(inode, - ufs2_inode + ufs_inotofsbo(inode->i_ino)); + err = ufs2_read_inode(inode, + ufs2_inode + ufs_inotofsbo(inode->i_ino)); } else { struct ufs_inode *ufs_inode = (struct ufs_inode *)bh->b_data; - ufs1_read_inode(inode, ufs_inode + ufs_inotofsbo(inode->i_ino)); + err = ufs1_read_inode(inode, + ufs_inode + ufs_inotofsbo(inode->i_ino)); } + if (err) + goto bad_inode; inode->i_version++; ufsi->i_lastfrag = (inode->i_size + uspi->s_fsize - 1) >> uspi->s_fshift; @@ -888,6 +898,8 @@ void ufs_delete_inode (struct inode * in loff_t old_i_size; truncate_inode_pages(&inode->i_data, 0); + if (is_bad_inode(inode)) + goto no_delete; /*UFS_I(inode)->i_dtime = CURRENT_TIME;*/ lock_kernel(); mark_inode_dirty(inode); @@ -898,4 +910,7 @@ void ufs_delete_inode (struct inode * in ufs_warning(inode->i_sb, __FUNCTION__, "ufs_truncate failed\n"); ufs_free_inode (inode); unlock_kernel(); + return; +no_delete: + clear_inode(inode); /* We must guarantee clearing of inode... */ } -- /Evgeniy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
