This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing the project "XFS development tree".

This can fail after the system has been running for some time as it is a high order allocation. Add a fallback to vmalloc so that it doesn't require contiguous memory and so won't randomly fail on files with large extent lists.

When we do an inode lookup via a file handle or a bulkstat, we don't serialise lookups at a higher level through the dentry cache (i.e. pathless lookup), and so we can get concurrent lookups of the same inode. The race condition is between the insertion of the inode into the cache in the case of a cache miss and a concurrently lookup: Thread 1 Thread 2 xfs_iget() xfs_iget_cache_miss() xfs_iread() lock radix tree radix_tree_insert() rcu_read_lock radix_tree_lookup lock inode flags XFS_INEW not set igrab() unlock inode flags rcu_read_unlock use uninitialised inode ..... lock inode flags set XFS_INEW unlock inode flags unlock radix tree xfs_setup_inode() inode flags = I_NEW unlock_new_inode() WARNING as inode flags != I_NEW This can lead to inode corruption, inode list corruption, etc, and is generally a bad thing to occur. Fix this by setting XFS_INEW before inserting the inode into the radix tree. This will ensure any concurrent lookup will find the new inode with XFS_INEW set and that forces the lookup to wait until the XFS_INEW flag is removed before allowing the lookup to succeed. cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # for 3.0.x, 3.2.x Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@xxxxxxx> commit 8d2a5e6ee37f205b3d76c223d4f3f88ba1d06220 Author: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 7 04:50:19 2012 +0000 xfs: clean up minor sparse warnings Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@xxxxxxx> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c | 13 ++++++++++--- fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_block.c | 1 + fs/xfs/xfs_iget.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c | 14 ++++++++++---- fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl32.c | 2 +- fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c | 13 ++++++++----- fs/xfs/xfs_vnode.h | 1 - fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.h | 3 --- 8 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) hooks/post-receive -- XFS development tree _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
