* [PATCH] namei fixes (5/19)Al Viro2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.

* [PATCH] namei fixes (4/19)Al Viro2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | path.mnt in open_namei() set to mirror nd->mnt. nd->mnt is set in 3 places in that function - path_lookup() in the beginning, __follow_down() loop after do_last: and __do_follow_link() call after do_link:. We set path.mnt to nd->mnt after path_lookup() and __do_follow_link(). In __follow_down() loop we use &path.mnt instead of &nd->mnt and set nd->mnt to path.mnt immediately after that loop. Obviously equivalent transformation. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] namei fixes (3/19)Al Viro2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Replaced struct dentry *dentry in namei with struct path path. All uses of dentry replaced with path.dentry there. Obviously equivalent transformation.

* [PATCH] namei fixes (2/19)Al Viro2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | All callers of do_follow_link() do mntget() right before it and dput()+mntput() right after. These calls are moved inside do_follow_link() now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks. Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks (see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should take care of all of them.

* [AF_UNIX]: Use lookup_create().Christoph Hellwig2005-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | currently it opencodes it, but that's in the way of chaning the lookup_hash interface. I'd prefer to disallow modular af_unix over exporting lookup_create, but I'll leave that to you. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* namei: add audit_inode to all branches in path_lookupPrasanna Meda2005-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Main change is in path_lookup: added a goto to do audit_inode instead of return statement, when emul_lookup_dentry for root is successful.The existing code does audit_inode only when lookup is done in normal root or cwd. Other changes: Some lookup routines are returning zero on success, and some are returning zero on failure. I documented the related function signatures in this code path, so that one can glance over abstract functions without understanding the entire code.

* 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!
