2008-11-26ext4: When resizing set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag for new block groupsSolofo.Ramangalahy@bull.net
The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks(). Mark it as such in ext4_group_add(). Since we are currently clearing inode table for the new block group, we should set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag. If at some point in the future we don't immediately zero out the inode table as part of the resize operation, then obviously we shouldn't do this.

2008-11-05ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warningsTheodore Ts'o
If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot* of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has aborted, return an EROFS right away. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-12-12ext4: remove do_blk_alloc()Theodore Ts'o
The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the code and to make it easier to understand. To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

2008-12-07ext4: remove ext4_new_meta_block()Theodore Ts'o
There were only two one callers of the function ext4_new_meta_block(), which just a very simpler wrapper function around ext4_new_meta_blocks(). Change those two functions to call ext4_new_meta_blocks() directly, to save code and stack space usage. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-01-01ext4: remove ext4_new_blocks() and call ext4_mb_new_blocks() directlyTheodore Ts'o
There was only one caller of the compatibility function ext4_new_blocks(), in balloc.c's ext4_alloc_blocks(). Change it to call ext4_mb_new_blocks() directly, and remove ext4_new_blocks() altogether. This cleans up the code, by removing two extra functions from the call chain, and hopefully saving some stack usage. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-12-06ext3/4: Fix loop index in do_split() so it is signedTheodore Ts'o

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

2009-01-02Enable multiple instances of devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu
To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys allocated in other instances of devpts. But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple instances only if: - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could: $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash $ umount /dev/pts $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx $ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234 where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs /bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in the original mount of /dev/pts. USER-SPACE-IMPACT: - See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user- space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation. TODO: - Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount. Changelog[v6]: - [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface - [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options - [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1. - [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now get_init_pts_sb()) - devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries Changelog[v5]: - Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch - Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch) - Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000 (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set) Changelog[v4]: - Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments - Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token, CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE. - Move usage-details from patch description to Documentation/fs/devpts.txt Changelog[v3]: - Rename new mount option to 'newinstance' - Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts - Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().

2009-01-02Define mknod_ptmx()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx, allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the devpts fs as /dev/pts/n. Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being accessed. So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx' node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option. Changelog[v5]: - [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So, hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also. - [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating ptmx node - [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx() wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this. Changelog[v4]: - Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000. - Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES. Changelog[v3]: - Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance') Changelog[v2]: - [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the ptmx node internally. Changelog[v1]: - Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not really necessary.

Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(), we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep is static to fs/file_table.c Acked-by: Paul E.

2008-12-31kill vfs_permissionChristoph Hellwig
With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper. Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series anyway. Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main permission check routine now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

walk_init_root is a tiny helper that is marked __always_inline, has just one caller and an unused argument. Just merge it into the caller. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
