* [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: better nfs4acl errorsNeilBrown2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | We're returning -1 in a few places in the NFSv4<->POSIX acl translation code where we could return a reasonable error. Also allows some minor simplification elsewhere.

* [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: Wrong error handling in nfs4aclNeilBrown2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | this fixes coverity id #3. Coverity detected dead code, since the == -1 comparison only returns 0 or 1 to error. Therefore the if ( error < 0 ) statement was always false. Seems that this was an if( error = nfs4... ) statement some time ago, which got broken during cleanup. Signed-off-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: J.

* [PATCH] knfsd: locks: flag NFSv4-owned locksNeilBrown2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to look them up in our private hash. This is safer and more efficient. Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using fl_lmops in the same way. In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks. But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the lock_manager_operations at some point anyway.

* [PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.NeilBrown2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words. However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is a number of bytes. This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful. This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going in to mainline.

* [PATCH] fuse: account background requestsMiklos Szeredi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests. This patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking operations. A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated. So these requests need not be otherwise limited. However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely. This can be used by a malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable kernel memory, denying service. For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit. Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is received.

* [PATCH] fuse: clean up request accountingMiklos Szeredi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time. However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used. File locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool. This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.

* [PATCH] fuse: simplify lockingMiklos Szeredi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a per-mount one. The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn. This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this. Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

* [PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE deviceJeff Dike2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input available. One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested, does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync, which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock, as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

* [PATCH] fuse: fix fuse_dev_poll() return valueMiklos Szeredi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | fuse_dev_poll() returned an error value instead of a poll mask. Luckily (or unluckily) -ENODEV does contain the POLLERR bit. There's also a race if filesystem is unmounted between fuse_get_conn() and spin_lock(), in which case this event will be missed by poll().

* [PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()Miklos Szeredi2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the request. So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send it. Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.

| | | | | | | | | | | Everybody seems to be using /proc/vmcore as a method to access the kernel crash dump. Hence probably it makes sense to enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by default if CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is selected. This makes kdump configuration further easier for a user.

* [PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a modulePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to include this too. Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've not investigated though. (akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).
