Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and
hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode)
are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed,
and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free().
This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du"
on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded
system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about
B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state". Most
recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped
kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller
mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a
lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9:
$ df -i / /home /mnt
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root 3276800 551665 2725135 17% /
/dev/mapper/fedora-home 52879360 716221 52163139 2% /home
/dev/nbd0p2 4294967295 1387818 4293579477 1% /mnt
After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du
/mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours.
There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load
and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the
years. [1]
The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel
tree. The only reason why it gets away with it is that the
kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so
the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else,
most of the time.
The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development
of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec
2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(),
migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages
per inode extents. When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2]
in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code)
to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging. There
was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in
__hfs_bnode_create(). In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were
removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating
the "REF_PAGES <-> !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out
page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by
!REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

Use buffer cache instead of page cache in bnode.c. Cache inode extents.
