[PATCH 00/11] AFS fixes [ver #3]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here's a set of fixes for AFS:

 (1) Fix copy_file_range() to an afs file now returning EINVAL if the
     splice_write file op isn't supplied.

 (2) Fix a deref-before-check in afs_unuse_cell().

 (3) Fix a use-after-free in afs_xattr_get_acl().

 (4) Fix afs to not try to clear PG_writeback when laundering a page.

 (5) Fix afs to take a ref on a page that it sets PG_private on and to drop
     that ref when clearing PG_private.

 (6) Fix a page leak if write_begin() fails.

 (7) Fix afs_write_begin() to not alter the dirty region info stored in
     page->private, but rather do this in afs_write_end() instead when we
     know what we actually changed.

 (8) Fix afs_invalidatepage() to alter the dirty region info on a page when
     partial page invalidation occurs so that we don't inadvertantly
     include a span of zeros that will get written back if a page gets
     laundered due to a remote 3rd-party induced invalidation.

     We mustn't, however, reduce the dirty region if the page has been seen
     to be mapped (ie. we got called through the page_mkwrite vector) as
     the page might still be mapped and we might lose data if the file is
     extended again.

 (9) Fix the dirty region info to have a lower resolution if the size of
     the page is too large for this to be encoded (e.g. powerpc32 with 64K
     pages).

     Note that this might not be the ideal way to handle this, since it may
     allow some leakage of undirtied zero bytes to the server's copy in the
     case of a 3rd-party conflict.

To aid (8) and (9), two additional patches are included:

 (*) Wrap the manipulations of the dirty region info stored in
     page->private into helper functions.

 (*) Alter the encoding of the dirty region so that the region bounds can
     be stored with one fewer bit, making a bit available for the
     indication of mappedness.
