2008-07-26[PATCH] dup3 fixUlrich Drepper
Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code. The dup2() function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file descriptor. In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag. The patch below implements this minor change.

2008-07-26[patch 4/4] vfs: immutable inode checking cleanupMiklos Szeredi
Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes into notify_change(). Checks for immutable and append-only files are always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok(). This should be completely equivalent.

2008-07-26[patch 3/4] fat: dont call notify_changeMiklos Szeredi
The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change the file mode before changing the inode attributes. Replace with explicit calls to security_inode_setattr(), fat_setattr() and fsnotify_change(). This is equivalent to the original. The reason it is needed, is that later in the series we move the immutable check into notify_change(). That would break the FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, as it needs to perform the mode change regardless of the immutability of the file. [Fix error if fat is built as a module.

2008-07-26[patch 1/4] vfs: utimes: move owner check into inode_change_ok()Miklos Szeredi
Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases. In these cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a timestamp. See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for {UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch introducing this behavior. This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to perform their own permission checking instead of the default.

2008-07-26[patch 05/14] hpfs: dont call permission()Miklos Szeredi
hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file. HPFS doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to generic_permission(). This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and security_inode_permission() are not called. The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so these security checks are unnecessary. I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable. But I leave that to the maintainer to decide.

2008-07-26[PATCH] sysctl: keep track of tree relationshipsAl Viro
In a sense, that's the heart of the series. It's based on the following property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also introduced by it. That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union; while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to keep track of that. When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say, find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment point. Also remember where its crown lives. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns onesAl Viro
Massage ipv4 initialization - make sure that net.ipv4 appears as non-per-net-namespace before it shows up in per-net-namespace sysctls. That's the only change outside of sysctl.c needed to get sane ordering rules and data structures for sysctls (esp. for procfs side of that mess). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] allow delayed freeing of ctl_table_headerAl Viro
Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero. Make sure that we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering(). That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who holds such a reference can * try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use" reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having ->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister the sucker. * keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds, we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely. IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] beginning of sysctl cleanup - ctl_table_setAl Viro
New object: set of sysctls [currently - root and per-net-ns]. Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?" method (->is_seen(set)). Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast. ->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.

2008-07-26[patch] vfs: fix lookup on deleted directoryMiklos Szeredi
Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on disk, even after all external references have gone away. This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can overflow. Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory before creating a child dentry. Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.
