Return -ENOENT from ext[34]_link if we've raced with unlink and i_nlink is
0. Doing otherwise has the potential to corrupt the orphan inode list,
because we'd wind up with an inode with a non-zero link count on the list,
and it will never get properly cleaned up & removed from the orphan list
before it is freed.

Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or
ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a
kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.
This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.
We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).
Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

In the rare case where we have skipped orphan inode processing due to a
readonly block device, and the block device subsequently changes back to
read-write, disallow a remount,rw transition of the filesystem when we have an
unprocessed orphan inodes as this would corrupt the list.
Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's
trickier, and this plugs the hole for now.

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext3 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext3_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext3_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext3.

Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully
correspond to the documentation and should be fixed.
According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3
different on-errors behaviours:
---- start of quote man 8 mount ----
errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic
Define the behaviour when an error is encountered. (Either ignore
errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount
the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is
set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8).
---- end of quote ----
However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus
ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt. It leads to the incorrect
handle of errors on ext3.
Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy
as well:
- EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same);
- parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something
like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set;
- if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options.
Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2:
- none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount
options;
- any of them may be set using mount options;
- 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the
superblock and other value in mount options;
- and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount.
Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to
any noticeable troubles. However somebody may be discouraged when he will try
to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in
mount options.
This patch:
EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be taken from the superblock as default value for
error behaviour.

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.
So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a

SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error

patch:
2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ
In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue
(EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at
present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem
to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ
from that of 2.4.x kernels.
This patch fixes this:
- do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
- set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
- panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save
sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)
This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:
o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()
sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);
at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.
Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
way should work & avoid the overflow:
(A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1
o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks
ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass
through, it is checking the error case
[item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)
where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last
block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
+ EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
back around to 0.
so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.
Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;
(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T? I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)

Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly. It ends
up returning -EIO. Here is the patch to fix it.
If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1
(we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block. But I
really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here.
(doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped).
ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped. It returns 0
in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its
dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block
reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to
allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no
block reservation.
Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for
the initial goal block group in this case. The patch fixes this.

For files other than IFREG, nobh option doesn't make sense. Modifications
to them are journalled and needs buffer heads to do that. Without this
patch, we get kernel oops in page_buffers().

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.
So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.
