* [PATCH] vfs: *at functions: coreUlrich Drepper2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file name. These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous occasions. They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal, they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc. We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the /proc/self/fd magic. But this code is rather expensive. Here are some results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before). The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem. Then rm -fr is used to remove all directories. Without syscall support I get this: real 0m31.921s user 0m0.688s sys 0m31.234s With syscall support the results are much better: real 0m20.699s user 0m0.536s sys 0m20.149s The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used. But they'll be used. coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them. Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using them. I expect a patch to make follow soon. Every program which is walking the filesystem tree will benefit.

* [PATCH] knfsd: Provide missing NFSv2 part of patch for checking vfs_getattr.David Shaw2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch which checked the return status of vfs_getattr in nfsd, completely missed the nfsproc.c (NFSv2) part. Here is it. This patch moved the call to vfs_getattr from the xdr encoding (at which point it is too late to return an error) to the call handling. This means several calls to vfs_getattr are needed in nfsproc.c. Many are encapsulated in nfsd_return_attrs and nfsd_return_dirop.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nfsd_sync* return an errno, which usually needs to be converted to an errno, sometimes immediately, sometimes a little later. Also, nfsd_setattr returns an nfserr which SHOULDN'T be converted from an errno (because it isn't one). Also some tidyups of the form: err = XX err = nfserrno(err) and err = XX if (err) err = nfserrno(err) become err = nfserrno(XX) Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] nfsd4: don't create on open that fails due to ERR_GRACEJ. Bruce Fields2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an earlier patch (commit b648330a1d741d5df8a5076b2a0a2519c69c8f41) I noted that a too-early grace-period check was preventing us from bumping the sequence id on open. Unfortunately in that patch I stupidly moved the grace-period check back too far, so now an open for create can succesfully create the file while still returning ERR_GRACE. The correct place for that check is after we've set the open_owner and handled any replays, but before we actually start mucking with the filesystem. Thanks to Avishay Traeger for reporting the bug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the user specifies both a COW file and its backing file, if the previous backing file is not found, currently UML tries again to use it and fails. This can be corrected by changing same_backing_files() return value in that case, so that the caller will try to change the COW file to point to the new location, as already done in other cases. Additionally, given the change in the meaning of the func, change its name, invert its return value, so all values are inverted except when stat(from_cow,&buf2) fails. And add some comments and two minor bugfixes - remove a fd leak (return err rather than goto out) and a repeated check. Tested well.

* [PATCH] uml: fix spinlock recursion and sleep-inside-spinlock in error pathPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(), which is disallowed for two reasons: *) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this device *) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context. I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow, but it's not up to me to decide that. However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device. But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though - and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself. So there's no harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO. Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated, but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it either.

* [PATCH] uml: networking - clear transport-specific structurePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pre-clear transport-specific private structure before passing it down. In fact, I just got a slab corruption and kernel panic on exit because kfree() was called on a pointer which probably was never allocated, BUT hadn't been set to NULL by the driver. As the code is full of such errors, I've decided for now to go the safe way (we're talking about drivers), and to do the simple thing. I'm also starting to fix drivers, and already sent a patch for the daemon transport.

* [PATCH] uml: make daemon transport behave properlyPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid uninitialized data in the daemon_data structure. I used this transport before doing proper setup before-hand, and I got some very nice SLAB corruption due to freeing crap pointers. So just make sure to clear everything when appropriate.
