Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work. Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added. We have such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which not everybody likes (chroot etc).

* inode numbering: change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with ↵Jeff Layton2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | their root inodes This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their root inodes to be number 1. It also fixes up a couple of callers of simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array. It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

* inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bitsJeff Layton2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problems are: - on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but... - many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1. - after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter wraps. This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their inodes. The questions are: 1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems? 2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it? What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be problematic. I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add). The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm open to ways to try and gauge this. Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems. With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>: hashing patch (pipebench): sys 1m15.329s sys 1m16.249s sys 1m17.169s unpatched (pipebench): sys 1m9.836s sys 1m12.541s sys 1m14.153s Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017. So ~5-6% slowdown. This patch: When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc (correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error. We can't do anything about fs's with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field. This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in these two functions be 32 bits.

* Invalid return value of execve() resulting in oopsesAlexey Kuznetsov2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When elf loader fails to map executable (due to memory shortage or because binary is malformed), it can return 0. Normally, this is invisible because process is killed with SIGKILL and it never returns to user space. But if exec() is called from kernel thread (hotplug, whatever) consequences are more interesting and vary depending on architecture. i386. Nothing especially interesting, execve() just returns with "success" :-) x86_64. Fake zero frame is used on way to caller, RSP/RIP are loaded with zeros, ergo... double fault. ia64. Similar to i386, but r32...r95 are corrupted. Sometimes it oopses due to return to zero PC, sometimes it sees NaT in rXX and oopses due to NaT consumption.

* udf: decrement correct link count in udf_rmdirStephen Mollett2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that a minor thinko occurred in udf_rmdir and the (already-cleared) link count on the directory that is being removed was being decremented instead of the link count on its parent directory. This gives rise to lots of kernel messages similar to: UDF-fs warning (device loop1): udf_rmdir: empty directory has nlink != 2 (8) when removing directory trees. No other ill effects have been observed but I guess it could theoretically result in the link count overflowing on a very long-lived, much modified directory.

* (re)register_binfmt returns with -EBUSYkalash nainwal2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a binary format is unregistered and re-registered, register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. The reason is that unregister_binfmt does not set fmt->next to NULL, and seeing (fmt->next != NULL), register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. One can find his way around by explicitly setting fmt->next to NULL after unregistering, but that is kind of unclean (one should better be using only the interfaces, and not the interal members, isn't it?) Attached one-liner can fix it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...

* proc: maps protectionKees Cook2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues: - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any kind of ASLR protection from local attackers. - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid()) process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150) - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents. This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to the procfs documentation.

* add filesystem subtype supportMiklos Szeredi2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse based filesystems. From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts. The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount source. So an sshfs mount looks like this: sshfs#user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,... This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name. A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows fuseblk.ntfs-3g rw,... user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,...

* epoll: optimizations and cleanupsDavide Libenzi2007-05-08

Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

* ext3: dirindex error pointer issuesDmitriy Monakhov2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - ext3_dx_find_entry() exit with out setting proper error pointer - do_split() exit with out setting proper error pointer it is realy painful because many callers contain folowing code: de = do_split(handle,dir, &bh, frame, &hinfo, &retval); if (!(de)) return retval; <<< WOW retval wasn't changed by do_split(), so caller failed <<< but return SUCCESS :) - Rearrange do_split() error path. Current error path is realy ugly, all this up and down jump stuff doesn't make code easy to understand.

* Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handlingBadari Pulavarty2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated namespaces. But they have different code paths. This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for feedback. - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to caller to attach it to right process. - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy. - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines. - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON() just incase. - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of copy_*_ns() instead.

* exec: fix remove_arg_zeroNick Piggin2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Petr Tesarik discovered a problem in remove_arg_zero(). He writes: When a script is loaded, load_script() replaces argv[0] with the name of the interpreter and the filename passed to the exec syscall. However, there is no guarantee that the length of the interpreter name plus the length of the filename is greater than the length of the original argv[0]. If the difference happens to cross a page boundary, setup_arg_pages() will call put_dirty_page() [aka install_arg_page()] with an address outside the VMA. Therefore, remove_arg_zero() must free all pages which would be unused after the argument is removed. So, rewrite the remove_arg_zero function without gotos, with a few comments, and with the commonly used explicit index/offset. This fixes the problem and makes it easier to understand as well.
