2007-07-10sendfile: remove bad_sendfile() from bad_file_opsJens Axboe
do_sendfile() prefers splice over sendfile, so it should not trigger (directly, at least). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10pipe: allow passing around of ops private pointerJens Axboe
relay needs this for proper consumption handling, and the network receive support needs it as well to lookup the sk_buff on pipe release. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-10sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()Jens Axboe
They can use generic_file_splice_read() instead. Since sys_sendfile() now prefers that, there should be no change in behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-10vmsplice: add vmsplice-to-user supportJens Axboe
A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build on splice, with room for future improvement in performance. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: abstract out actor dataJens Axboe
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file. So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top of that. This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-08Fix permission checking for the new utimensat() system callLinus Torvalds
Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat() system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a filename. We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus Trippelsdorf.

2007-07-06Fix elf_core_dump() when writing arch specific notes (spu coredumps)Michael Ellerman
elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc spu coredump code. There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg: LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000 Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes). This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly. The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable requirement. Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being bogus. While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

2007-07-03dio: remove bogus refcounting BUG_ONZach Brown
Badari Pulavarty reported a case of this BUG_ON is triggering during testing. It's completely bogus and should be removed. It's trying to notice if we left references to the dio hanging around in the sync case. They should have been dropped as IO completed while this path was in dio_await_completion(). This condition will also be checked, via some twisty logic, by the BUG_ON(ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) a few lines lower. So to start this BUG_ON() is redundant. More fatally, it's dereferencing dio-> after having dropped its reference. It's only safe to dereference the dio after releasing the lock if the final reference was just dropped. Another CPU might free the dio in bio completion and reuse the memory after this path drops the dio lock but before the BUG_ON() is evaluated. This patch passed aio+dio regression unit tests and aio-stress on ext3.

2007-06-28Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARMDavid Woodhouse
Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

2007-06-28eCryptfs: fix write zeros behaviorMichael Halcrow
This patch fixes the processes involved in wiping regions of the data during truncate and write events, fixing a kernel hang in 2.6.22-rc4 while assuring that zero values are written out to the appropriate locations during events in which the i_size will change. The range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() from ecryptfs_prepare_write() includes the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(). This leads to a kernel hang as read_cache_page() is executed on the same page in the ecryptfs_truncate() execution path. This patch remedies this by limiting the range passed to ecryptfs_truncate() so as to exclude the page that is the object of ecryptfs_prepare_write(); it also adds code to ecryptfs_prepare_write() to zero out the region of its own page when writing past the i_size position. This patch also modifies ecryptfs_truncate() so that when a file is truncated to a smaller size, eCryptfs will zero out the contents of the new last page from the new size through to the end of the last page.

2007-06-16shm: fix the filename of hugetlb sysv shared memoryEric W. Biederman
Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining /proc/<pid>/maps. To do so they look for a block device with major zero, a dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of the internal sysv shared memory kernel mount. To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing /proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to use the SYSV<key> dentry naming convention. User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so has a different block device minor number from the rest of sysv shared memory.

2007-06-16udf: fix possible leakage of blocksJan Kara
We have to take care that when we call udf_discard_prealloc() from udf_clear_inode() we have to write inode ourselves afterwards (otherwise, some changes might be lost leading to leakage of blocks, use of free blocks or improperly aligned extents). Also udf_discard_prealloc() does two different things - it removes preallocated blocks and truncates the last extent to exactly match i_size. We move the latter functionality to udf_truncate_tail_extent(), call udf_discard_prealloc() when last reference to a file is dropped and call udf_truncate_tail_extent() when inode is being removed from inode cache (udf_clear_inode() call). We cannot call udf_truncate_tail_extent() earlier as subsequent open+write would find the last block of the file mapped and happily write to the end of it, although the last extent says it's shorter.

2007-06-15splice: fix leak of pages on short splice to pipeJens Axboe
If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred data, we break out instead of waiting for more pipe room.

2007-06-12sysfs: fix race condition around sd->s_dentry, take#2Tejun Heo
Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry. Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry() is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks. This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel branch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-06-12sysfs: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopsesEric Sandeen
Backport of ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number. But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed. Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't guaranteed today anyway.

2007-06-08splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate raceJens Axboe
Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>, merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows: __generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these. However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read() samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a read So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a sampling before page addition into spd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
