3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Salman Qazi <[email protected]> commit 95599968d19db175829fb580baa6b68939b320fb upstream. We can't have references held on pages in the s_buddy_cache while we are trying to truncate its pages and put the inode. All the pages must be gone before we reach clear_inode. This can only be gauranteed if we can prevent new users from grabbing references to s_buddy_cache's pages. The original bug can be reproduced and the bug fix can be verified by: while true; do mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /export/hda3/ram0; \ umount /export/hda3/ram0; done & while true; do cat /proc/fs/ext4/ram0/mb_groups; done Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> --- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c index 3d9277c..1cd6994 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -2517,6 +2517,9 @@ int ext4_mb_release(struct super_block *sb) struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = EXT4_SB(sb); struct kmem_cache *cachep = get_groupinfo_cache(sb->s_blocksize_bits); + if (sbi->s_proc) + remove_proc_entry("mb_groups", sbi->s_proc); + if (sbi->s_group_info) { for (i = 0; i < ngroups; i++) { grinfo = ext4_get_group_info(sb, i); @@ -2564,8 +2567,6 @@ int ext4_mb_release(struct super_block *sb) } free_percpu(sbi->s_locality_groups); - if (sbi->s_proc) - remove_proc_entry("mb_groups", sbi->s_proc); return 0; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
