2008-10-23[PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()Miklos Szeredi
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites. This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission() method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for performing this check. Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are not calling generic_permission(). Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode. Also fix up the following code: - coda control file is never executable - sysctl files are never executable - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2008-10-23[PATCH] reiserfs: add missing llseek methodChristoph Hellwig
Reiserfs currently doesn't set a llseek method for regular files, which means it will fall back to default_llseek. This means no one can seek beyond 2 Gigabytes on reiserfs, and that there's not protection vs the i_size updates from writers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 6/6] vfs: add LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET intentOGAWA Hirofumi
This adds LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET intent for lookup of rename destination. LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET is going to be used like LOOKUP_CREATE. But since the destination of rename() can be existing directory entry, so it has a difference. Although that difference doesn't matter in my usage, this tells it to user of this intent.

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 5/6] vfs: remove LOOKUP_PARENT from non LOOKUP_PARENT lookupOGAWA Hirofumi
lookup_hash() with LOOKUP_PARENT is bogus. And this prepares to add new intent on those path. The user of LOOKUP_PARENT intent is nfs only, and it checks whether nd->flags has LOOKUP_CREATE or LOOKUP_OPEN, so the result is same. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 4/6] vfs: remove unnecessary fsnotify_d_instantiate()OGAWA Hirofumi

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 3/6] vfs: add __d_instantiate() helperOGAWA Hirofumi
This adds __d_instantiate() for users which is already taking dcache_lock, and replace with it. The part of d_add_ci() isn't equivalent. But it should be needed fsnotify_d_instantiate() actually, because the path is to add the inode to negative dentry. fsnotify_d_instantiate() should be called after change from negative to positive.

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 2/6] vfs: add d_ancestor()OGAWA Hirofumi
This adds d_ancestor() instead of d_isparent(), then use it. If new_dentry == old_dentry, is_subdir() returns 1, looks strange. "new_dentry == old_dentry" is not subdir obviously. But I'm not checking callers for now, so this keeps current behavior. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

2008-10-23[PATCH] Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code.David Woodhouse
Some file systems with their own internal locking have problems with the way that nfsd calls the ->lookup() method from within a filldir function called from their ->readdir() method. The recursion back into the file system code can cause deadlock. XFS has a fairly hackish solution to this which involves doing the readdir() into a locally-allocated buffer, then going back through it calling the filldir function afterwards. It's not ideal, but it works. It's particularly suboptimal because XFS does this for local file systems too, where it's completely unnecessary. Copy this hack into the NFS code where it can be used only for NFS export. In response to feedback, use it unconditionally rather than only for the affected file systems.

The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all users, and it's name is not very descriptive either. Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations. Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers to d_obtain_alias.

2008-10-20kdump: add is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable()Simon Horman
The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel. However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return 1. Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least confusion. This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code. To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows: ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
