Thus spake Christoph:
"But this whole set_cifs_acl function is a real mess anyway and needs
some splitting up."
With this change too, it's possible to call acl_to_uid_mode() with a
NULL inode pointer. That (or something close to it) will eventually be
necessary when cifs_get_inode_info is reorganized.

The callers primarily end up converting the args from le anyway. Also,
most of the callers end up needing to add an offset to the result. The
exception to these rules is cnvrtDosCifsTm, but there are no callers of
that function, so we might as well remove it.

The current default file mode is 02767 and dir mode is 0777. This is
extremely "loose". Given that CIFS is a single-user protocol, these
permissions allow anyone to use the mount -- in effect, giving anyone on
the machine access to the credentials used to mount the share.
Change this by making the default permissions restrict write access to
the default owner of the mount. Give read and execute permissions to
everyone else. These are the same permissions that VFAT mounts get by
default so there is some precedent here.
Note that this patch also removes the mandatory locking flags from the
default file_mode. After having looked at how these flags are used by
the kernel, I don't think that keeping them as the default offers any
real benefit. That flag combination makes it so that the kernel enforces
mandatory locking.
Since the server is going to do that for us anyway, I don't think we
want the client to enforce this by default on applications that just
want advisory locks. Anyone that does want this behavior can always
enable it by setting the file_mode appropriately.

There's no reason to limit the size of a symlink that we can read to
4000 bytes. That may be nowhere near PATH_MAX if the server is sending
UCS2 strings. CIFS should be able to read in a symlink up to the size of
the buffer. The size of the header has already been accounted for when
creating the slabcache, so CIFSMaxBufSize should be the correct size to
pass in.
Fixes samba bug #6384.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
[CIFS] Avoid open on possible directories since Samba now rejects them
|
|
Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to
file create only.
After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup
regression, and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one
particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's
behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs.
directories). To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a
fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now
returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't
know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and
thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server),
this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues
posix open on creates). This gets the semantic benefits we want
(atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly
created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem
that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory
calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and
will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just
pushed into Samba server). I confirmed this approach with jra
yesterday and with Shirish today.
Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now.
For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it
is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows
us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call
on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix
open till cifs_open. It could be added here (lookup) in the future
but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR
or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50%
reduction in network traffic in the other paths.

cifs: fix pointer initialization and checks in cifs_follow_symlink (try #4)
|
|
This is the third respin of the patch posted yesterday to fix the error
handling in cifs_follow_symlink. It also includes a fix for a bogus NULL
pointer check in CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink that Jeff Moyer spotted.
It's possible for CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink to return without setting
target_path to a valid pointer. If that happens then the current value
to which we're initializing this pointer could cause an oops when it's
kfree'd.
This patch is a little more comprehensive than the last patches. It
reorganizes cifs_follow_link a bit for (hopefully) better readability.
It should also eliminate the uneeded allocation of full_path on servers
without unix extensions (assuming they can get to this point anyway, of
which I'm not convinced).
On a side note, I'm not sure I agree with the logic of enabling this
query even when unix extensions are disabled on the client. It seems
like that should disable this as well. But, changing that is outside the
scope of this fix, so I've left it alone for now.

The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is
possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which
means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.
This problem is observed by the following sequence (executed as root):
mount -t nfs4 server:/ /mnt4
echo "ls" >/mnt4/foo
chmod 744 /mnt4/foo
su guest -c "mnt4/foo"

devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls
parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options.
The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are
non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default
anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options.
So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even
for NULL mount options.

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.
This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.
When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).

When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find
a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block()
ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date.
The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat
the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed
reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never
going to become up to date.

The core VM assumes the page size used by the address_space in
inode->i_mapping is PAGE_SIZE but hugetlbfs breaks this assumption by
inserting pages into the page cache at offsets the core VM considers
unexpected.
This would not be a problem except that hugetlbfs also provide a
->readpage implementation. As it exists, the core VM can assume the
base page size is being used, allocate pages on behalf of the
filesystem, insert them into the page cache and call ->readpage to
populate them. These pages are the wrong size and at the wrong offset
for hugetlbfs causing confusion.
This patch deletes the ->readpage implementation for hugetlbfs on the
grounds the core VM should not be allocating and populating pages on
behalf of hugetlbfs. There should be no existing users of the
->readpage implementation so it should not cause a regression.
