* [PATCH] inotify: fix event loss on hardlinked filesJohn McCutchan2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People have run into a problem when they do this: watch (file1, all_events); watch (file2, some_events); if file2 is a hard link to file1, some events will be missed because by default we replace the mask. The patch below adds a flag IN_MASK_ADD which will cause inotify to add to the existing mask if present.

* [PATCH] remove verify_area(): remove fs/umsdos/notes as it only contain a ↵Jesper Juhl2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | verify_area related note The file `fs/umsdos/notes' contains only a small note about a possible bug involving verify_area(). Since umsdos is no longer in the kernel and verify_area() is also gone, it seems to make sense that this file goes the way of the Dodo. After applying this patch the `fs/umsdos/' directory will be empty and can be removed entirely.

* [PATCH] fix cramfs making duplicate entries in inode cacheDave Johnson2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every time cramfs_lookup() is called to lookup and inode for a dentry, get_cramfs_inode() will allocate a new inode without checking to see if that inode already exists in the inode cache. This is fine the first time, but if the dentry cache entry(ies) associated with that inode are aged out, but the inode entry is not aged out (which can be quite common if the inode has buffer cache linked to it), cramfs_lookup() will be called again and another inode will be allocated and added to the inode cache creating a duplicate in the inode cache. The big issue here is that the buffers associated with each inode cache entry are not shared between the duplicates! The older inode entries are now orphaned as no dentry points to it and won't be freed until the buffer cache assoicated with them are first freed. The newest entry will have to create all new buffer cache for each part of its file as the old buffer cache is now orphaned as well. Patch below fixes this by making get_cramfs_inode() use the inode cache before blindly creating a new entry every time. This eliminates the duplicate inodes and duplicate buffer cache.

* [PATCH] proc: link count fixMiklos Szeredi2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes bug titled "sunrpc as module and bad proc/sys link count" reported by Jiri Slaby. The problem was, that only proc_dir_entry->nlink was updated and the corresponding inode->i_nlink was not. The fix is to implement the inode->getattr() method, and update i_nlink (if necessary). A quick audit of proc code shows that no other attribute changes after creation.

* [PATCH] Speedup FAT filesystem directory readsKarsten Wiese2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> This speeds up directory reads for large FAT partitions, if the buffercache has to be filled from the drive. Following values were taken from: $ time find path_to_freshly_mounted_fat > /dev/null on an otherwise idle system. FAT with 16KB Clusters on IDE attached drive: Factor 2 FAT with 32KB Clusters on USB2 attached drive: Factor 10 (!) Its less than 1/10 slower, if the buffercache is uptodate. The patch introduces the new function fat_dir_readahead(). fat_dir_readahead() calls sb_breadahead() to readahead a whole cluster, if the requested sector is the first one in a cluster. It is usefull to do this, because on FAT directories occupy whole clusters, with the exception of FAT12/FAT16 root dirs. Readahead is only done, if the cluster's first sector is not uptodate to avoid overhead, when the buffer cache is already uptodate. Note that under memory pressure, the maximal byte count wasted (read: has to be red from disk twice) is 1 cluster's size. Thats 64KB. fat_dir_readahead() is called from fat__get_entry(). There is also an unrelated cleanup at one spot: if (bh) brelse(bh); is replaced with: brelse(bh); brelse() can handle NULL pointer arguments by itself.

* [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module referenceBruce Allan2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

* [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mountsMark Bellon2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system) are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command. The quota tools look there for the quota strings for their operation. If, however, /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things. While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools fail in the symlink case. The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary hooks. The show_options function of each file system in these patches currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas; especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?). Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible VFS migration. Issue summary: - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway. - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number of FS. - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the quota echoing becomes virtually negligible. Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original: JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota" EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in - no changes from my original patch. I tested the patch and the codes warn but - still mount. With all due respection I believe the comments otherwise were a - misread of the patch. Please reread/test and comment. XFS patch removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive) - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g. usrquota and usrjquota) - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g. usrjquota and grpquota) Signed-off-by: Mark Bellon <mbellon@mvista.com> Acked-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] relayfsTom Zanussi2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's the latest version of relayfs, against linux-2.6.11-mm2. I'm hoping you'll consider putting this version back into your tree - the previous rounds of comment seem to have shaken out all the API issues and the number of comments on the code itself have also steadily dwindled. This patch is essentially the same as the relayfs redux part 5 patch, with some minor changes based on reviewer comments. Thanks again to Pekka Enberg for those. The patch size without documentation is now a little smaller at just over 40k. Here's a detailed list of the changes: - removed the attribute_flags in relay open and changed it to a boolean specifying either overwrite or no-overwrite mode, and removed everything referencing the attribute flags. - added a check for NULL names in relayfs_create_entry() - got rid of the unnecessary multiple labels in relay_create_buf() - some minor simplification of relay_alloc_buf() which got rid of a couple params - updated the Documentation In addition, this version (through code contained in the relay-apps tarball linked to below, not as part of the relayfs patch) tries to make it as easy as possible to create the cooperating kernel/user pieces of a typical and common type of logging application, one where kernel logging is kicked off when a user space data collection app starts and stops when the collection app exits, with the data being automatically logged to disk in between. To create this type of application, you basically just include a header file (relay-app.h, included in the relay-apps tarball) in your kernel module, define a couple of callbacks and call an initialization function, and on the user side call a single function that sets up and continuously monitors the buffers, and writes data to files as it becomes available. Channels are created when the collection app is started and destroyed when it exits, not when the kernel module is inserted, so different channel buffer sizes can be specified for each separate run via command-line options. See the README in the relay-apps tarball for details. Also included in the relay-apps tarball are a couple examples demonstrating how you can use this to create quick and dirty kernel logging/debugging applications. They are: - tprintk, short for 'tee printk', which temporarily puts a kprobe on printk() and writes a duplicate stream of printk output to a relayfs channel. This could be used anywhere there's printk() debugging code in the kernel which you'd like to exercise, but would rather not have your system logs cluttered with debugging junk. You'd probably want to kill klogd while you do this, otherwise there wouldn't be much point (since putting a kprobe on printk() doesn't change the output of printk()). I've used this method to temporarily divert the packet logging output of the iptables LOG target from the system logs to relayfs files instead, for instance. - klog, which just provides a printk-like formatted logging function on top of relayfs. Again, you can use this to keep stuff out of your system logs if used in place of printk.

| * [CRYPTO]: crypto_free_tfm() callers no longer need to check for NULLJesper Juhl2005-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in, there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL. This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the crypto_free_tfm bits. I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch applied boots and runs just fine. When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the following comments : J. Bruce Fields commented "I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b." Sridhar Samudrala said "sctp change looks fine." Herbert Xu signed off on the patch. So, I guess this is ready to be dropped into -mm and eventually mainline.

* | [PATCH] uml: fixes performance regression in activate_mm and thus exec()Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, activate_mm() is called from exec(), and thus it used to be a no-op because we use a completely new "MM context" on the host (for instance, a new process), and so we didn't need to flush any "TLB entries" (which for us are the set of memory mappings for the host process from the virtual "RAM" file). Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way. So, when for AIO we call use_mm(), things used to break and so Benjamin implemented activate_mm(). However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation. Comment also the caller so that people won't go breaking UML without noticing. I also rely on the caller's locks for testing current->flags.

* | [PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrsStephen Smalley2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not support xattrs natively. This allows security modules to export the incore inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access. The patch removes the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer needed. The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than -EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the operation anyway. Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore inode security state update directly. In contrast, we do call fsnotify in both cases.

(Includes a cleanup from "Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>) From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net> show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after the additional information is also written. The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls it with a real pointer. Now the final if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */ m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0; is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

F.e. with this patch you can see the page use of the "getty" process: margin:/proc/12008 # cat maps 00000000-00004000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 2000000000000000-200000000002c000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 516 /lib/ld-2.3.3.so 2000000000038000-2000000000040000 rw-p 00028000 08:04 516 /lib/ld-2.3.3.so 2000000000040000-2000000000044000 rw-p 2000000000040000 00:00 0 2000000000058000-2000000000260000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000260000-2000000000268000 ---p 00208000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000268000-2000000000274000 rw-p 00200000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000274000-2000000000280000 rw-p 2000000000274000 00:00 0 2000000000280000-20000000002b4000 r--p 00000000 08:04 9126923 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE 2000000000300000-2000000000308000 r--s 00000000 08:04 60071467 /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache 2000000000318000-2000000000328000 rw-p 2000000000318000 00:00 0 4000000000000000-4000000000008000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 29576399 /sbin/mingetty 6000000000004000-6000000000008000 rw-p 00004000 08:04 29576399 /sbin/mingetty 6000000000008000-600000000002c000 rw-p 6000000000008000 00:00 0 [heap] 60000fff7fffc000-60000fff80000000 rw-p 60000fff7fffc000 00:00 0 60000ffffff44000-60000ffffff98000 rw-p 60000ffffff44000 00:00 0 [stack] a000000000000000-a000000000020000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] cat numa_maps 2000000000000000 default MaxRef=43 Pages=11 Mapped=11 N0=4 N1=3 N2=2 N3=2 2000000000038000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=2 Mapped=2 Anon=2 N0=2 2000000000040000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 2000000000058000 default MaxRef=43 Pages=61 Mapped=61 N0=14 N1=15 N2=16 N3=16 2000000000268000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=2 Mapped=2 Anon=2 N0=2 2000000000274000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=3 Mapped=3 Anon=3 N0=3 2000000000280000 default MaxRef=8 Pages=3 Mapped=3 N0=3 2000000000300000 default MaxRef=8 Pages=2 Mapped=2 N0=2 2000000000318000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N2=1 4000000000000000 default MaxRef=6 Pages=2 Mapped=2 N1=2 6000000000004000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 6000000000008000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 60000fff7fffc000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 60000ffffff44000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 getty uses ld.so.

In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.

The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the server copy of the file). Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases. The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

But those functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk. We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability. We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from nfs_inode at the same time. The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR. This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost of using this type of serialization.
