When _all_ the blocks were on the erase_pending_list, we could't find a
block to GC from but there was no _actually_ free space, and
jffs2_reserve_space() would get a little unhappy.
Handle this case by returning -EAGAIN from jffs2_garbage_collect_pass().
There are two callers of that function -- jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc(), which
will interpret it as an error and flush the writebuffer by other means,
and jffs2_reserve_space(), which we modify to respond to -EAGAIN with an
immediate call to jffs2_erase_pending_blocks() and another run round the
loop.

The problem fixed in commit 014b164e13
(space leak with in-band cleanmarkers) would have been caught a lot
quicker if our paranoid debugging mode had included adding up the size
counts from all the eraseblocks and comparing the totals with the counts
in the superblock. Add that.
Make jffs2_mark_erased_block() file the newly-erased block on the
free_list before calling the debug function, to make it happy.
Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref()
(without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock
accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size
and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size.
But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back
to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size
to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker
was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_.
Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when
we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper
lock, while we're at it.
Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost)
pinpointing the problem.

This fixes a regression introduced in commit
205c109a7a when switching to
write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2.
The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment
lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics.
[ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was
likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of
"offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page
or allocation.
Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset -
our VM naming can be a bit confusing.
So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos",
not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page
offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ]

Commit a491486a20 started obliterating
dirents directly on the medium, when jffs2_can_mark_obsolete(). Removing
them immediately from the f->dents list, however, screws up handling of
f_pos within a directory -- because the offset is equivalent to the
number of entries through the list we are, and the existence of
deletion dirents served to provide 'placeholders' for unlinked
entries. Now, 'rm -r' doesn't even manage to unlink everything in the
directory.
Revert to keeping 'deletion' dirents in the list, at least in memory
even though we no longer write anything to the medium.

[In commit 9ed437c50d we fixed a problem
with standard permissions on newly-created inodes, when POSIX ACLs are
enabled. This cleans it up...]
The attached patch separate jffs2_init_acl() into two parts.
The one is jffs2_init_acl_pre() called from jffs2_new_inode().
It compute ACL oriented inode->i_mode bits, and allocate in-memory ACL
objects associated with the new inode just before when inode meta
infomation is written to the medium.
The other is jffs2_init_acl_post() called from jffs2_symlink(),
jffs2_mkdir(), jffs2_mknod() and jffs2_do_create().
It actually writes in-memory ACL objects into the medium next to
the success of writing meta-information.
In the current implementation, we have to write a same inode meta
infomation twice when inode->i_mode is updated by the default ACL.
However, we can avoid the behavior by putting an updated i_mode
before it is written at first, as jffs2_init_acl_pre() doing.

mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.
It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.
Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant

file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]
The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

With current desing erase_free_sem is locked every time the flash
block is being erased. For NOR flashes - ~1 second is needed to erase
single flash block. In the worst case scenario erase_free_sem may be
locked for a couple of seconds when the number of blocks is being
erased (e.g. after large file was removed). When erase_free_sem is
locked all read/write operations for given JFFS2 partition are locked
too - in effect from time to time access to the JFFS2 partition is
locked for a number of seconds. This fix makes critical section in
flash erasing procedure shorter - now erase_free_sem is locked around
erase_completion_lock spinlock only.

freed. Clean them up during unmount, if there are any left.

When we cannot mark nodes as obsolete, such as on NAND flash, we end up
having to delete inodes with !nlink in jffs2_build_remove_unlinked_inode().
However, jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem() runs later than this, and will
attach an xref to the dead inode. Then later when the last nodes of that
dead inode are erased we hit a BUG() in jffs2_del_ino_cache()
because we're not supposed to get there with an xattr still attached to
the inode which is being killed.
The simple fix is to refrain from attaching xattrs to inodes with zero
nlink, in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem(). It's it's OK to trust nlink
here because the file system isn't actually mounted yet, so there's no
chance that a zero-nlink file could actually be alive still because
it's open.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by
SLAB.
I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.
I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free. That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.
Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code
in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).
There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

We attempted to insert new nodes into the tree by just using
rb_replace_node to let them replace an earlier node which they
completely overlapped. However, that could place the new node into the
wrong place in the tree, since its start could be node only before the
start of the victim, but before the node _before_ the victim in the tree
(if that previous node actually ends _after_ the new node, thus isn't
entirely overlapped and wasn't itself chosen to be the victim).

The original code would remember, during the first pass over the tree,
a suitable place to start the insertion from when we eventually come
to add a new node.
The optimisation was broken, and we sometimes ended up inserting a new
node in the wrong place because we started the insertion from the wrong
point.
Just ditch the optimisation and start the insertion from the root of the
tree, for now. I'll try it again when I'm feeling cleverer.

This fixes a problem Artem found with the integck test tool -- we
weren't correctly keeping track of the 'overlap' flag in some cases,
which led to the nodes being played back in an incorrect order and file
corruption.

After flushing the last page of an eraseblock, don't leave the
wbuf 'offset' field pointing at the start of the next physical
eraseblock. This was causing a BUG() on NOR-ECC (Sibley) flash, where
we start writing a little further in, after the cleanmarker.

This should never happen unless there's corruption on the medium and the
actual data nodes go missing. But the failure mode (an oops when we assume
the fragtree isn't empty and go looking for its last node) isn't useful.

In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.
We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
has the right to license it differently.
