2007-05-09unify flush_work/flush_work_keventd and rename it to cancel_work_syncOleg Nesterov
flush_work(wq, work) doesn't need the first parameter, we can use cwq->wq (this was possible from the very beginnig, I missed this). So we can unify flush_work_keventd and flush_work. Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers. Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad. (akpm: this is why the earlier patches bypassed maintainers) Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: "David S.

2007-05-09AFS: implement basic file write supportDavid Howells
Implement support for writing to regular AFS files, including: (1) write (2) truncate (3) fsync, fdatasync (4) chmod, chown, chgrp, utime. AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage up to the point that it writes back 65535 pages in one chunk or it meets a locked page. Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed before the second is allowed to take place. If the first write fails due to a security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second write takes place. If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS). Shared-writable mappings are not supported by this patch.

2007-05-09AFS: AFS fixupsDavid Howells
Make some miscellaneous changes to the AFS filesystem: (1) Assert RCU barriers on module exit to make sure RCU has finished with callbacks in this module. (2) Correctly handle the AFS server returning a zero-length read. (3) Split out data zapping calls into one function (afs_zap_data). (4) Rename some afs_file_*() functions to afs_*() where they apply to non-regular files too. (5) Be consistent about the presentation of volume ID:vnode ID in debugging output.

2007-05-08utimensat implementationUlrich Drepper
Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines of the BSD lutimes(3) functions For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter. Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work. Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added. We have such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which not everybody likes (chroot etc).

2007-05-08inode numbering: change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with ↵Jeff Layton
their root inodes This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their root inodes to be number 1. It also fixes up a couple of callers of simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array. It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

2007-05-08inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bitsJeff Layton
The problems are: - on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but... - many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1. - after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter wraps. This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their inodes. The questions are: 1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems? 2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it? What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be problematic. I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add). The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm open to ways to try and gauge this. Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems. With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>: hashing patch (pipebench): sys 1m15.329s sys 1m16.249s sys 1m17.169s unpatched (pipebench): sys 1m9.836s sys 1m12.541s sys 1m14.153s Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017. So ~5-6% slowdown. This patch: When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc (correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error. We can't do anything about fs's with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field. This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in these two functions be 32 bits.

2007-05-08Invalid return value of execve() resulting in oopsesAlexey Kuznetsov
When elf loader fails to map executable (due to memory shortage or because binary is malformed), it can return 0. Normally, this is invisible because process is killed with SIGKILL and it never returns to user space. But if exec() is called from kernel thread (hotplug, whatever) consequences are more interesting and vary depending on architecture. i386. Nothing especially interesting, execve() just returns with "success" :-) x86_64. Fake zero frame is used on way to caller, RSP/RIP are loaded with zeros, ergo... double fault. ia64. Similar to i386, but r32...r95 are corrupted. Sometimes it oopses due to return to zero PC, sometimes it sees NaT in rXX and oopses due to NaT consumption.

2007-05-08udf: decrement correct link count in udf_rmdirStephen Mollett
It appears that a minor thinko occurred in udf_rmdir and the (already-cleared) link count on the directory that is being removed was being decremented instead of the link count on its parent directory. This gives rise to lots of kernel messages similar to: UDF-fs warning (device loop1): udf_rmdir: empty directory has nlink != 2 (8) when removing directory trees. No other ill effects have been observed but I guess it could theoretically result in the link count overflowing on a very long-lived, much modified directory.

2007-05-08jbd: check for error returned by kthread_create on creating journal threadPavel Emelianov
If the thread failed to create the subsequent wait_event will hang forever. This is likely to happen if kernel hits max_threads limit. Will be critical for virtualization systems that limit the number of tasks and kernel memory usage within the container.

2007-05-08ext3: copy i_flags to inode flags on writeJan Kara
A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. from i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk. The same thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl. Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were wondering...). Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc. from i_flags into ext3-specific i_flags. Hence, when someone sets these flags via a different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

2007-05-08Introduce a handy list_first_entry macroPavel Emelianov
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list); are used. The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro list_first_entry(head, type, member) \ list_entry((head)->next, type, member) Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code. If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-08Remove redundant check from proc_sys_setattr()John Johansen
notify_change() already calls security_inode_setattr() before calling iop->setattr. Alan sayeth This is a behaviour change on all of these and limits some behaviour of existing established security modules When inode_change_ok is called it has side effects. This includes clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod. If you make this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after the change is made. I'm not saying the change is wrong but it does change behaviour so that needs looking at closely (ditto all other attribute twiddles) Signed-off-by: Steve Beattie <sbeattie@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: John Johansen <jjohansen@suse.de> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
