* | [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

* | [PATCH] add a file_permission helperChristoph Hellwig2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission() that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean up the callers a little.

* | [PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() raceOleg Nesterov2005-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL. However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL, because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't trust p->signal. This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers() call.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows. Bind semantics: It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount. Move semantics: It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount. Clone-namespace semantics: If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note: there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | umount is done under the protection of the namespace semaphore. This can lead to intresting deadlocks when the last reference to a mount is released, if filesystem code is in sufficiently nasty state. This collects all the to-be-released-mounts and releases them after releasing the namespace semaphore. That both reduces the time we are holding namespace semaphore and gets the things more robust.

The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Erase block summary (EBS) stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them) just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is needed at mount time. This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too. There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary information for a JFFS2 image.
