* knfsd: exportfs: split out reconnecting a dentry from find_exported_dentryChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a clear subfunctionality of reconnecting a given dentry to the main dentry tree in find_exported_dentry, that can be called both for the dentry we're looking for or it's parent directory. This patch splits the subfunctionality out into a separate helper to make the code more readable and document it's intent. As a nice side-optimization we can avoid getting a superfluous dentry reference count in the case we need to reconnect a directory on it's own.

* knfsd: exportfs: move acceptable check into find_acceptable_aliasChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | All callers of find_acceptable_alias check if the current dentry is acceptable before looking for other acceptable aliases using find_acceptable_alias. Move the check into find_acceptable_alias to make the code a little more dense and add a comment to find_acceptable_alias that documents its intent.

* knfsd: exportfs: remove CALL macroChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17

* knfsd: exportfs: add procedural interface for NFSDChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently NFSD calls directly into filesystems through the export_operations structure. I plan to change this interface in various ways in later patches, and want to avoid the export of the default operations to NFSD, so this patch adds two simple exportfs_encode_fh/exportfs_decode_fh helpers for NFSD to call instead of poking into exportfs guts.

* knfsd: exportfs: remove iget abuseChristoph Hellwig2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget. Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't implement the ->read_inode routine. Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the get_dentry method. While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later patches.

* [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

* [PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious valuePeter Staubach2006-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check" export option. The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client. The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again. In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the server for a particular user. A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
