2005-06-24[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: grace period endNeilBrown
For the purposes of reboot recovery, we want to do some work during the transition period at the end of the grace period. Some of that work must be guaranteed to have a certain relationship with the end of the grace period, so we want to control the transition there. Our approach is to modify the in_grace() checks to consult a global variable instead of checking the time directly, to schedule the first run of the laundromat thread at the end of the grace period, and to set the global end-of-grace-period there.

2005-06-24[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: reboot hashNeilBrown
For the purposes of reboot recovery we keep a directory with subdirectories each having a name that is the ascii hex representation of the md5 sum of a client identifier for an active client. This adds the code to calculate that name. We also use it for the purposes of comparing clients, so if someone ever manages to find two client names that are md5 collisions, then we'll return clid_inuse to the second.

2005-06-24[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: simplify lease changingNeilBrown
The only way the protocol gives to change the lease time on the fly is to simulate a reboot. We don't have that completely right in the current code; among other things, we should probably put lockd in grace too while we do this. For now, let's just keep this simple, and wait till the next time nfsd starts to register any changes in lease time. If the administrator really wants to change the lease time *now*, they can go ahead and bring nfsd down and then back up again after changing the lease time. Also remove the "if (reclaim_str_hashtbl_size == 0)" case, a shortcut which skips the grace period if we know of no clients in need of recovery. This isn't going to work well with nlm.

rpc_create_client was modified recently to do its own (synchronous) NULL ping of the server. We'd rather do that on our own, asynchronously, so that we don't have to block the nfsd thread doing the probe, and so that setclientid handling (hence, client mounts) can proceed normally whether the callback is succesful or not.

2005-06-24[PATCH] nfsd4: block metadata ops during grace periodNeilBrown
We currently return err_grace if a user attempts a non-reclaim open during the grace period. But we also need to prevent renames and removes, at least, to ensure clients have the chance to recover state on files before they are moved or deleted.

2005-06-24[PATCH] nfsd4: fix fh_expire_typeNeilBrown
We're returning NFS4_FH_NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN | NFS4_FH_VOL_RENAME for the fh_expire_type attribute. This is incorrect: 1. The spec actually only allows NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN when VOLATILE_ANY is also set. 2. Filehandles for open files can expire, if the file is removed and there is a reboot. 3. Filehandles are only volatile on rename in the nosubtree check case. Unfortunately, there's no way to indicate that we only expire on remove. So our only choice is FH4_VOLATILE_ANY. Although it's redundant, we also set FH4_VOL_RENAME in the subtree check case, since subtreecheck does actually cause problems in practice and it seems possibly useful to give clients some way to distinguish that case.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()Anton Altaparmakov
fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery. It calls the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has buffer_new set). The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break from this loop and go into recovery code. This code has this comment: /* Error case: */ /* * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale * data. If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly * allocated in the above loop. */ So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated and hence not zeroed buffers. However the code recognises allocated buffers by checking for buffer_new being set. Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during error recovery and old data will be leaked. The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in __block_prepare_write(). We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of __block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning "success" from __block_prepare_write().

2005-06-23[PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devicesArnd Bergmann

All functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves. As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

2005-06-23[PATCH] Don't force O_LARGEFILE for 32 bit processes on ia64Yoav Zach
In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file. This is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution. For such processes, the problem is two-fold: 1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G the operation should fail, but it's not 2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but it's not The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are identified in ia64 systems. Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their personality. With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set. The behavior for all other architectures remains unchanged.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Support for dx directories in ext3_get_parent (NFSD)Andreas Dilger
Henrik Grubbstrom noted: The 2.6.10 ext3_get_parent attempts to use ext3_find_entry to look up the entry "..", which fails for dx directories since ".." is not present in the directory hash table. The patch below solves this by looking up the dotdot entry in the dx_root block. Typical symptoms of the above bug are intermittent claims by nfsd that files or directories are missing on exported ext3 filesystems. cf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D150759 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D144556 ext3_get_parent() is IMHO the wrong place to fix this bug as it introduces a lot of internals from htree into that function. Instead, I think this should be fixed in ext3_find_entry() as in the below patch. This has the added advantage that it works for any callers of ext3_find_entry() and not just ext3_lookup_parent().

Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used as a bool in untouched code) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something.

Changing that field would create a gigantic diff because it is used all over the place. ) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-23[PATCH] quota: sanitize dentry handling in vfs_quota_on_mountChristoph Hellwig
Use lookup_one_len instead of opencoding a simplified lookup using lookup_hash with a fake hash. Also there's no need anymore for the d_invalidate as we have a completely valid dentry now.
