It calls\nthe get_block() callback with \"create \u003d 1\" and if that succeeds it\nimmediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has\nbuffer_new set).\n\nThe bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns !\u003d 0, we break\nfrom this loop and go into recovery code. This code has this comment:\n\n/* Error case: */\n/*\n * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale\n * data. If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly\n * allocated in the above loop.\n */\n\nSo the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated\nand hence not zeroed buffers. However the code recognises allocated\nbuffers by checking for buffer_new being set.\n\nUnfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared\nbuffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during\nerror recovery and old data will be leaked.\n\nThe simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code\nwork by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in\n__block_prepare_write().\n\nWe cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to \"leak out\" of\n__block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers\nclearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning\n\"success\" from __block_prepare_write().\n\nSigned-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov \u003caia21@cantab.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "dfb388bf8a328f206bba33933dd97230f412238b", "tree": "656cf4d7aba441667c4d25135ee70672738126e9", "parents": [ "01890a4c120f68366441bf5e193d1b9dd543d4d0" ], "author": { "name": "Oleg Nesterov", "email": "oleg@tv-sign.ru", "time": "Thu Jun 23 00:10:02 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Thu Jun 23 09:45:29 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] factor out common code in sys_fsync/sys_fdatasync\n\nThis patch consolidates sys_fsync and sys_fdatasync.\n\nSigned-off-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@tv-sign.ru\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1ad539b2bd89bf2e129123eb24d5bcc4484a35de", "tree": "e416e208cdbd5d9890d39e39384e4ec913c26ef6", "parents": [ "cbe37d093707762fc0abb280781e6a82a9d8d568" ], "author": { "name": "Darren Hart", "email": "dvhltc@us.ibm.com", "time": "Tue Jun 21 17:14:53 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Jun 21 18:46:17 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] vm: try_to_free_pages unused argument\n\ntry_to_free_pages accepts a third argument, order, but hasn\u0027t used it since\nbefore 2.6.0.
