2007-10-22exportfs: add fid typeChristoph Hellwig
This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface. The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of 64bit inode numbers. This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs) This patch: Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values around everywhere. It's a union of possible layouts. As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format, but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better. Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable names. Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.

2007-10-22ext2: avoid rec_len overflow with 64KB block sizeJan Kara
With 64KB blocksize, a directory entry can have size 64KB which does not fit into 16 bits we have for entry length. So we store 0xffff instead and convert the value when read from / written to disk.

2007-10-22dcache: don't expose uninitialized memory in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>J. Bruce Fields
Well, it's not especially important that target->d_iname get the contents of dentry->d_iname, but it's important that it get initialized with *something*, otherwise we're just exposing some random piece of memory to anyone who reads the link at /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> for the deleted file, when it's still held open by someone. I've run a test program that copies a short (<36 character) name ontop of a long (>=36 character) name and see that the first time I run it, without this patch, I get unpredicatable results out of /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>.

2007-10-22[JFFS2] Fix return value from jffs2_write_end()Nick Piggin
jffs2_write_end() is sometimes passing back a "written" length greater than the length we passed into it, leading to a BUG at mm/filemap.c:1749 when used with unionfs. It happens because we actually write more than was requested, to reduce log fragmentation. These "longer" writes are fine, but they shouldn't get propagated back to the vm/vfs.

2007-10-21[PATCH] audit: watching subtreesAl Viro
New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

2007-10-20[JFFS2] Tidy up fix for ACL/permissions problem.KaiGai Kohei
[In commit 9ed437c50d89eabae763dd422579f73fdebf288d we fixed a problem with standard permissions on newly-created inodes, when POSIX ACLs are enabled. This cleans it up...] The attached patch separate jffs2_init_acl() into two parts. The one is jffs2_init_acl_pre() called from jffs2_new_inode(). It compute ACL oriented inode->i_mode bits, and allocate in-memory ACL objects associated with the new inode just before when inode meta infomation is written to the medium. The other is jffs2_init_acl_post() called from jffs2_symlink(), jffs2_mkdir(), jffs2_mknod() and jffs2_do_create(). It actually writes in-memory ACL objects into the medium next to the success of writing meta-information. In the current implementation, we have to write a same inode meta infomation twice when inode->i_mode is updated by the default ACL. However, we can avoid the behavior by putting an updated i_mode before it is written at first, as jffs2_init_acl_pre() doing.

2007-10-19NFS: Fix a race in sillyrenameTrond Myklebust
lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename() completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the latter may be held by whoever is calling dput(). We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename completion. If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to grow.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: initialize the namespace's proc_mntPavel Emelyanov
The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not. This solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc. with the proc_mnt switching from NULL to not-NULL. The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode. Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy all the stuff. This is done after the init of the namespace dies. Running a few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no proc_mnt will be needed after its death.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: make proc have multiple superblocks - one for each namespacePavel Emelyanov
Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount. Thus we need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks. We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1 refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may not exist in the other. This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another proc tree.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple ↵Pavel Emelyanov
proc trees The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to it. The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in release_task() higher to address the following problem. When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush. Thus we need to pass the task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can provide all the pid numbers. But after __exit_signal() task has detached all his pids and this information is lost. This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal()) till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100% guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flagPavel Emelyanov
This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call so that it can trust *data pointer to be valid in-kernel one. If this flag is passed from the user process, it is cleared since the *data pointer is not a valid kernel object. Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace creation. The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount is described in the appropriate patch.

2007-10-19Make access to task's nsproxy lighterPavel Emelyanov
When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases. E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock. On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above. The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed like this: rcu_read_lock(); nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk); if (nsproxy != NULL) { / * * work with the namespaces here * e.g. get the reference on one of them * / } / * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is * almost dead (zombie) * / rcu_read_unlock(); This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and, of course, tested.
