| * | [CIFS] Reduce chance of list corruption in find_writable_fileSteve French2007-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When find_writable_file is racing with close and the session to the server goes down, Shaggy noticed that there was a chance that an open file in the list of files off the inode could have been freed by close since cifs_reconnect can block (the spinlock thus not held). This means that we have to start over at the beginning of the list in some cases. There is a 2nd change that needs to be made later (pointed out by Jeremy Allison and Shaggy) in order to prevent cifs_close ever freeing the cifs per file info when a write is pending. Although we delay close from freeing this memory for sufficiently long for all known cases, ultimately on a very, very slow write overlapping a close pending we need to allow close to return (without freeing the cifs file info) and defer freeing the memory to be the responsibility of the (sloooow) write thread (presumably have to look at every place wrtPending is decremented - and add a flag for deferred free for after wrtPending goes to zero).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A reasonably common NAS server returns an error on the SetFSInfo of the Unix capabilities. Log a message for this alerting the user that the server may have problems with the Unix extensions, and telling them what they can do to workaround it. Unfortunately the server does not return other clues that we could easily use to turn the Unix Extension support off automatically in this case (since they claim to support it).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small memory leak in fs/cifs/inode.c::cifs_mkdir(). Storage for 'pInfo' is allocated with kzalloc(), but if the call to CIFSPOSIXCreate(...) happens to return 0 and pInfo->Type == -1, then we'll jump to the 'mkdir_get_info' label without freeing the storage allocated for 'pInfo'. This patch adds a kfree() call to free the storage just before jumping to the label, thus getting rid of the leak.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cifs reconnect could end up happening incorrectly due to the small initial tcp recvmsg response. When the socket was within three bytes of being full and the recvmsg returned only 1 to 3 bytes of the initial 4 byte read of the RFC1001 length field.

Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later. Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

All of them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() - and just substitute some args for it. It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to grow. This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c. Together with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text section.

* | | pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19

Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy all the stuff. This is done after the init of the namespace dies. Running a few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no proc_mnt will be needed after its death.

Thus we need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks. We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1 refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may not exist in the other. This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another proc tree.

* | | pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple ↵Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-19

The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in release_task() higher to address the following problem. When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush. Thus we need to pass the task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can provide all the pid numbers. But after __exit_signal() task has detached all his pids and this information is lost. This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal()) till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100% guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

* | | pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flagPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call so that it can trust *data pointer to be valid in-kernel one. If this flag is passed from the user process, it is cleared since the *data pointer is not a valid kernel object. Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace creation. The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount is described in the appropriate patch.

* | | Make access to task's nsproxy lighterPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases. E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock. On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above. The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed like this: rcu_read_lock(); nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk); if (nsproxy != NULL) { / * * work with the namespaces here * e.g. get the reference on one of them * / } / * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is * almost dead (zombie) * / rcu_read_unlock(); This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and, of course, tested.
