2007-10-17SELinux: Improve read/write performanceYuichi Nakamura
It reduces the selinux overhead on read/write by only revalidating permissions in selinux_file_permission if the task or inode labels have changed or the policy has changed since the open-time check. A new LSM hook, security_dentry_open, is added to capture the necessary state at open time to allow this optimization.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: read_write.c routinesMichael Halcrow
Add a set of functions through which all I/O to lower files is consolidated. This patch adds a new inode_info reference to a persistent lower file for each eCryptfs inode; another patch later in this series will set that up. This persistent lower file is what the read_write.c functions use to call vfs_read() and vfs_write() on the lower filesystem, so even when reads and writes come in through aops->readpage and aops->writepage, we can satisfy them without resorting to direct access to the lower inode's address space. Several function declarations are going to be changing with this patchset. For now, in order to keep from breaking the build, I am putting dummy parameters in for those functions.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: Use generic_file_splice_read()Michael Halcrow
eCryptfs is currently just passing through splice reads to the lower filesystem. This is obviously incorrect behavior; the decrypted data is what needs to be read, not the lower encrypted data. I cannot think of any good reason for eCryptfs to implement splice_read, so this patch points the eCryptfs fops splice_read to use generic_file_splice_read.

Fix up the Tag 11 writing code to handle size limits and boundaries more explicitly.

2007-10-16eCryptfs: add key list structure; search keyringMichael Halcrow
Add support structures for handling multiple keys. The list in crypt_stat contains the key identifiers for all of the keys that should be used for encrypting each file's File Encryption Key (FEK). For now, each inode inherits this list from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, via the ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() function. This patch also removes the global key tfm from the mount-wide crypt_stat struct, instead keeping a list of tfm's meant for dealing with the various inode FEK's. eCryptfs will now search the user's keyring for FEK's parsed from the existing file metadata, so the user can make keys available at any time before or after mounting. Now that multiple FEK packets can be written to the file metadata, we need to be more meticulous about size limits. The updates to the code for writing out packets to the file metadata makes sizes and limits more explicit, uniformly expressed, and (hopefully) easier to follow.

2007-10-16hugetlb: allow extending ftruncate on hugetlbfsKen Chen
For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there is no reason to hold back that limitation. This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial limitation.

This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

2007-10-16fs: remove some AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGENick Piggin
prepare/commit_write no longer returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE since OCFS2 and GFS2 were converted to the new aops, so we can make some simplifications for that.

2007-10-16fs: restore nobhNick Piggin
Implement nobh in new aops. This is a bit tricky. FWIW, nobh_truncate is now implemented in a way that does not create blocks in sparse regions, which is a silly thing for it to have been doing (isn't it?) ext2 survives fsx and fsstress. jfs is converted as well... ext3 should be easy to do (but not done yet).

2007-10-16ocfs2: convert to new aopsNick Piggin
Plug ocfs2 into the ->write_begin and ->write_end aops. A bunch of custom code is now gone - the iovec iteration stuff during write and the ocfs2 splice write actor.
