devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid
pty. But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode
passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer
exists.
With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see
below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression
introduced by the commit:
commit 527b3e4773
Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>
Date: Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100
To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been
deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().

Summary of problem:
If a journal record wraps at the physical end of the journal, it has to be
read in two parts in xlog_do_recovery_pass(): a read at the physical end and a
read at the physical beginning. If xlog_bread() has to re-align the first
read, the second read request does not take that re-alignment into account.
If the first read was re-aligned, the second read over-writes the end of the
data from the first read, effectively corrupting it. This can happen either
when reading the record header or reading the record data.
The first sanity check in xlog_recover_process_data() is to check for a valid
clientid, so that is the error reported.
Summary of fix:
If there was a first read at the physical end, XFS_BUF_PTR() returns where the
data was requested to begin. Conversely, because it is the result of
xlog_align(), offset indicates where the requested data for the first read
actually begins - whether or not xlog_bread() has re-aligned it.
Using offset as the base for the calculation of where to place the second read
data ensures that it will be correctly placed immediately following the data
from the first read instead of sometimes over-writing the end of it.
The attached patch has resolved the reported problem of occasional inability
to recover the journal (reporting "bad clientid").

The iolock is used for protecting reads, writes and block truncates
against each other. We have two classes of callers, the first one is
induced by a file operation and requires a reference to the inode be
held and not dropped after the operation is done:
- xfs_vm_vmap, xfs_vn_fallocate, xfs_read, xfs_write, xfs_splice_read,
xfs_splice_write and xfs_setattr are all implementations of VFS
methods that require a live inode
- xfs_getbmap and xfs_swap_extents are ioctl subcommand for which the
same is true
- xfs_truncate_file is only called on quota inodes just returned from
xfs_iget
- xfs_sync_inode_data does the lock just after an igrab()
- xfs_filestream_associate and xfs_filestream_new_ag take the iolock
on the parent inode of an inode which by VFS rules must be referenced
And we have various calls to truncate blocks past EOF or the whole
file when dropping the last reference to an inode. Unfortunately
lockdep complains when we do memory allocations that can recurse into
the filesystem in the first class because the second class happens to
take the same lock. To avoid this re-init the iolock in the beginning
of xfs_fs_clear_inode to get a new lock class.

Currently the reclaim code for the case where we don't reclaim the
final reclaim is overly complicated. We know that the inode is clean
but instead of just directly reclaiming the clean inode we go through
the whole process of marking the inode reclaimable just to directly
reclaim it from the calling context. Besides being overly complicated
this introduces a race where iget could recycle an inode between
marked reclaimable and actually being reclaimed leading to panics.
This patch gets rid of the existing reclaim path, and replaces it with
a simple call to xfs_ireclaim if the inode was clean. While we're at
it we also use the slightly more lax xfs_inode_clean check we'd use
later to determine if we need to flush the inode here.
Finally get rid of xfs_reclaim function and place the remaining small
bits of reclaim code directly into xfs_fs_destroy_inode.

As an optimization, we hash the table entries with a
reversible transformation to get a more uniform distribution
over it, sort the table at startup and then guess the
position in the table when an ioctl number gets called
to do a linear search from there.
With the current set of ioctl numbers and the chosen
transformation function, we need an average of four
steps to find if a number is in the set, all of the
accesses within one or two cache lines.

approach but saves 8.5 kb of kernel memory.

although that is generally not necessary. In particular it is not needed
for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or
do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed.
Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off
the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl. This may significantly improve latencies
with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread
acquires the BKL twice.

The VT driver now handles all of these ioctls directly, so we can remove
the handlers from common code.
These are the only handlers that require the BKL because they directly
perform the ioctl action rather than just converting the data structures.
Once they are gone, we can remove the BKL from the remaining ioctl
conversion handlers.
