block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization

2017-03-02T15:56:59Z

So far we initialized bd_bdi only in bdget(). That is fine for normal bdev inodes however for the special case of the root inode of blockdev_superblock that function is never called and thus bd_bdi is left uninitialized. As a result bdev_evict_inode() may oops doing bdi_put(root->bd_bdi) on that inode as can be seen when doing: mount -t bdev none /mnt Fix the problem by initializing bd_bdi when first allocating the inode and then reinitializing bd_bdi in bdev_evict_inode(). Thanks to syzkaller team for finding the problem.

fs: add i_blocksize()

Replace all 1 << inode->i_blkbits and (1 << inode->i_blkbits) in fs branch. This patch also fixes multiple checkpatch warnings: WARNING: Prefer 'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned' Thanks to Andrew Morton for suggesting more appropriate function instead of macro.

block: Revalidate i_bdev reference in bd_aquire()

2017-02-21T19:51:54Z

When a device gets removed, block device inode unhashed so that it is not used anymore (bdget() will not find it anymore). Later when a new device gets created with the same device number, we create new block device inode. However there may be file system device inodes whose i_bdev still points to the original block device inode and thus we get two active block device inodes for the same device. They will share the same gendisk so the only visible differences will be that page caches will not be coherent and BDIs will be different (the old block device inode still points to unregistered BDI). Fix the problem by checking in bd_acquire() whether i_bdev still points to active block device inode and re-lookup the block device if not. That way any open of a block device happening after the old device has been removed will get correct block device inode.

block: Make blk_get_backing_dev_info() safe without open bdev

2017-02-02T15:20:53Z

Currenly blk_get_backing_dev_info() is not safe to be called when the block device is not open as bdev->bd_disk is NULL in that case. However inode_to_bdi() uses this function and may be call called from flusher worker or other writeback related functions without bdev being open which leads to crashes such as: [113031.075540] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000 [113031.075614] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003692e0 0:mon> t [c0000000fb65f900] c00000000036cb6c writeback_sb_inodes+0x30c/0x590 [c0000000fb65fa10] c00000000036ced4 __writeback_inodes_wb+0xe4/0x150 [c0000000fb65fa70] c00000000036d33c wb_writeback+0x30c/0x450 [c0000000fb65fb40] c00000000036e198 wb_workfn+0x268/0x580 [c0000000fb65fc50] c0000000000f3470 process_one_work+0x1e0/0x590 [c0000000fb65fce0] c0000000000f38c8 worker_thread+0xa8/0x660 [c0000000fb65fd80] c0000000000fc4b0 kthread+0x110/0x130 [c0000000fb65fe30] c0000000000098f0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Unhash block device inodes on gendisk destruction

2017-02-02T15:18:41Z

Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure would be rather difficult in this case. Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.
